- Comment on Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible? 1 week ago:
But that was something that had to be installed on the system
That was only initially true, by the end of its life it was a default component in some major browsers. Such as chrome and internet explorer.
And prior to that it frequently came preinstalled by the manufacturer.
But with all that said, I suspect we’ve missed the intent of the previous comment. To illustrate that none of the alternative means to run code in a web browser has worked out.
And with that said due to market momentum (like how so many apps are electron based) I would expect JavaScript to outlive C++ haha.
- Comment on Is it safe to connect a Windows XP machine to my wi-fi network? 1 week ago:
Any particular reason it needs to be XP?
Last time I checked there was over 40 open exploits that are fairly easy to trigger. (Mostly related to web browsing or gpu acceleration)
I’d imagine something like Debian or Alpine would run on it?

This is what i missed about old reddit the most.
Love it 😘

This might be an xy problem.
What are you trying to solve?
If you’re just trying to have access to an community package manager.
One of these might be more useful.
nix.dev/manual/nix/2.34/quick-start
If you specifically must have the AUR. I suppose you could install arch in a container like you suggested.

- Comment on I am someone who works out daily and sweats a lot. Just doing laundry doesn't seem to adequately clean the underarms of my shirts. What are some ways to clean these areas of my clothing better? 1 month ago:
I rub a bit of detergent in trouble spots when I take my clothes off. Works really well with blood too.
I also switched to a deodorant that doesn’t leave marks on my clothes.
- Comment on When will the all white home with grey floors trend be over? 1 month ago:
I think the trend has to do with the prospects of conformity compounded by the goal to be appealing to the largest group at time of resell.

Shortly after they fire you and tell you that you shouldn’t have done that. 🙃
- Comment on When your computer says "You don't have permission to edit this file": 2 months ago:
I’ve done that, did nt authority not work for you? It did for me on server 2008.
You might need to kill any processes with handles to it using process hacker.
- Comment on Does a warranty on a computer for parts cover upgrades for free or at least a cheaper price? 2 months ago:
The standard warranty just covers replacement and service. *check your regional law on warranties and confirm.
If you paid extra for an enhanced warranty service you may have a route through that package. But it very likely won’t be free. But without any additional information you are probably on your own.
- Comment on Can a small android phone work as a router ? 2 months ago:
it could, root it and setup iptables, connect it’s USB port to an hub of Ethernet adapters.
It would probably be slow though but sounds like a fun experiment.
- Comment on Is there music I haven't heard because I only speak English? 2 months ago:

- Comment on Is there such a thing as a DVD player with a USB input where I can access the USB drive and skip the disk drive to watch movies on USB stick? Any good deals on them if they exist ? 2 months ago:
Most of the newer players with USB can. Even some TVs as well.
The trick is you’ll need to convert the videos to a compatible format.
The manual will hopefully specify what format it’s expecting. But the mp4 container with h264 video and mp3 audio will likely work on nearly all of them. A tool like IFME can be used to achieve that. sourceforge.net/projects/ifme/
- Comment on Is this machine good enough to install QEMU considering that it runs on windows 10 ? 2 months ago:
Most people just use the web browser anyways. It’s not hard to learn, it’s like getting a new phone. After a week it starts to feel natural.
- Comment on Is this machine good enough to install QEMU considering that it runs on windows 10 ? 2 months ago:
What are you planning to do with the vm?
If your intention is to run anything significant like multiple instances of windows or Linux then the answer is no. Ideally you’d have at least 8GB of ram if you just want one VM.
You’ll need to confirm if virtualization is enabled in the bios.
I would suggest replacing the os with something lighter like xubuntu. xubuntu.org
- Comment on Is there any free game like net hack ? 2 months ago:
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead might be similar to what you’re hoping for.
They have both a graphical and text mode available. Plays similarly to dwarf fortresses adventure mode but with a SciFi apocalypse twist. Very customizable well worth a try in my humble opinion.

Looks like it was possible with android x86 but the project was discontinued.
I just found this it seems interesting.

Literally none without jank. Javascript and HTML5 are monsters and it just isn’t possible to get a universally flawless experience without them.
Your best bet is if you’re willing to give up a significant amount of fidelity (and images). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)

Lovely game, plays a bit like Mario 64.

I’ve seen some gravity falls, really liked the characters.
Haven’t watched the other two, how are they?

- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 2 months ago:
Excluding anime (which I watch regularly) the newest cartoon I watched was Star vs. the Forces of Evil. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get back into cartoons.
But the best cartoon I’ve ever watched was avatar the last airbender. Not many rise to that level of quality so its unfair to set the bar there.

I wonder how I would subscribe to that, can’t really put that in my calendar haha
