rdrview VS cbsd

See also the C port here: https://github.com/eafer/rdrview/

It works well with text-mode browsers like w3m.

i also use rdrview sometimes.

They both parse untrusted content content without sandboxing.

I typically send content through rdrview[0] before piping through w3m-sandbox[1], which should be pretty safe.

Could have been nice to have this integrated to w3m. Somthing along the lines of rdrview.

I do a lot of this work[3] (web to documents) and it's interesting to see other approaches. The medium image problem is something I've faced as well, but never got around to fixing. I'm planning to get a Remarkable soon, so will definitely be trying this out.

My personal solution has been https://github.com/captn3m0/url-to-epub/ (Node/readability), which I've tested against the entirety of Tor's original fiction collection[0] where it performs well enough (I'm biased). Another tool that does this beautifully well is percollate[1], but it doesn't give enough control of the metadata to the user - something I really care about.

I've also started to use rdrview[2], which is a C-port of the current Firefox implementation of "reader view". It is very unix-y, so it is easy to pipe content to it (I usually run it through tidy first). Quite helpful in building web-archiving or web-to-pdf or web-to-kindle pipelines easily.

Two projects that do this with nearly identical output:

- https://github.com/eafer/rdrview

- https://github.com/go-shiori/go-readability

Pipe the filtered HTML output into your favorite textual web browser for an ideal reading experience.

This may help if you can do some piping around it.. https://github.com/eafer/rdrview

I'm a programmer, most familiar with C on Linux and Win32. I'll be happy to start a project from scratch, or to help support any old codebase. For a sample of my work please see rdrview [1], a small command line tool that found some success here on Hacker News; or [2], a naive filesystem implementation I've been working on.

My current rate is 20 USD/hour. For what it's worth, I have a background in math.

To add on, CBSD may also provide of these functions. So there are options.

It definitely has several restrictions, but I now create virtual machines very easily. The module uses the efforts of the CBSD project (supporting the library of (well tested by community) cloud images).

Impressed by the AWS FireCracker project, as part of the CBSD project, the new subproject 'CBSD Firestarter' begins, which will be focused on optimizing Linux/BSD images for use in Bhyve hypervisor.

( and here: https://github.com/cbsd/cbsd/issues/663 ) I added link to https://github.com/cbsd/cbsd/issues/589#issuecomment-829615212 - this is how I configured the network in my demo. Its not linux utilities.

jails and bhyve virtualization is the way in FreeBSD. k8s is done simpler with cbsd: https://github.com/cbsd/cbsd
