For easier searching I prefer manuals as single page instead of one file per section. So that often are huge HTML files. ``` $ wget -qO- https://orgmode.org/org.html | wc -c 2151649instead of completely powering it down because that way $ wget -qO- https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/elisp.html | wc -c 8766578 $ wget -qO- https://gambitscheme.org/latest/manual | wc -c 1975726 ``` Having them for hours or sometimes even months in an open browser, loading time is irrelevant in this use case. ``` $ uptime 12:34:33 up 116 days, 17:38, 41 users, load average: 0.36, 0.51, 0.47 ``` I typically send this box into suspend or hibernating when I don't need it to keep my workflow "instant-resumeable".
@ramin_hal9001 """ Yes, you need to know HTML to get started. But that HTML can be generated by anything, and it can be served up by anything as long as that anything can talk HTTP. """
Back in the good old days, when browsers still were browsers instead of single protocol network file viewers as of today, we were used to HTML files on FTP and Gopher servers.
If your "browser" cannot do that any more, consider it broken by design.
Unluckily that applies to nearly all of them now.
The age of broken browsers. One protocol to rule them all.
@carcosa That one (DEC Terminal Modern) is nice too! \o/ This snapshot has some nostalgic factor too. Typically I play with languages, but screen sized incomplete code snippets are less fun.
I repeatedly tried IMs from Identi.ca days to Mastodon and always ran away soon, but I thought I'd give it a retry using #emacs with #mastodonel and when I looked for a server emacs.ch just had shown up and still had exactly 1 user.Sometimes coincidence feels like a hint for doing the right thing at the right time.\o/20221115: I do not follow people, I do follow tags.
