Streaming a video to a site without any branding on the video or user controls in the player
I have a question if you have time. I came across this, RX Player, it mentions live, do you know if it would work? No worries if finding out is too deep of a dive though. I’m not exactly sure what it is, maybe it’s like shaka player? https://github.com/canalplus/rx-player

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1

Show HN: Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends
> That's excessive scope creep. Adding site-specific workarounds for some sites feels uncomfortable.
Not to Google and its fellow corporations apparently.

They have site-specific fixes for their own sites. Why can obviously apply the exact same strategy to dealing with every single website out there. If a website is broken or generally annoying to use, just fix it by providing a site specific version of the browser.
> Who decides what websites get "fixed", and how?
Whoever develops the browser or its extensions. Arguably the whole of uBlock Origin and its filter lists is just a database of site specific fixes. If people can maintain an extremely huge list of advertisers and blockers for every website out there, surely they can maintain something like this too.
> Also, remember how Mozilla is funded.
I remember Mozilla has about a billion dollars in the bank. Who cares about their Google funding? I doubt they're gonna drop them anyway. I bet they pay them just to ward off risk of antitrust lawsuits.
