InfluxDB

The consensus I could gather is either use playwright or use a workaround to solve it in the puppeteer layer. The root cause of the bug is a websocket size limitation on the CDP protocol for chromium.

https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc
And I recently learned about archivebox, which I think is going to be a fast favorite and finally let me clear out my mess of tabs/bookmarks: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
Project mention: How SingleFile Transformed My Obsidian Workflow | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-26That's interesting. I have been saving articles as PDF files, which is browser-independent, but useful just for search and reference, a nuisance to quote/copy-and-paste.
If I search only the computer, I don't get results from EBay and Amazon at the top. The idea of keeping the knowledge base separate from the primary notes is a good idea. In my case, that knowledge base is the file system, and the primary notes are whatever I choose.
When I was using Evernote, the inbox was the knowledge base and notebooks were the focus. I just had too many different potential projects going on to manage this well.
Looking to focus.
I'll revisit Firefox and SingleFile.

Project mention: Conflicting info on Dark Mode removal from Firefox for iOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-27Users are complaining that the latest Firefox for iOS update has removed the "Dark mode" option from the menu:[1]
> I suffer from Diabetic Retinopathy and hence photophobia. To me, this removal is an Accessability issue.
A forum moderator who's in touch with the developers said days ago that this is an experiment affecting half of the userbase:[2]
> The team is currently doing an experiment. Since March 15, 50% of users no longer see Night Mode switch from the hamburger menu. We're using this experiment to monitor and evaluate the impact of removing, so it'll be hugely valuable to hear your feedback around this feature. Thanks!
However, Mozilla's iOS team manager doesn't know about this huge experiment and think it is a bug:[3]
> Moving Focus into the Firefox repo so it can get more love and support. This happened last release and may be the culprit that broke dark mode. We're looking into this right now.

Project mention: I turned my open-source project into a full-time business | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-27Plenty of projects are source-available, but not open source, and get tons of issues, and even contributions (https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension off the top of my head)
Project mention: It's getting hard to use and recommend Firefox, I'm afraid for the free web | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-08Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.
just use sponsorblock today, works fine on all my devices. https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock
