| sicelo | hi | 10:16 |
|---|---|---|
| sicelo | do we have logs for this new channel? | 10:16 |
| sicelo | ah, i got them | 10:17 |
| ceene | hi guys! | 14:45 |
| ceene | i've crossed the road out of freenode! | 14:45 |
| ceene | what a shitshow lol | 14:45 |
| KotCzarny | welcome to the bright side | 14:45 |
| ceene | how you doing? | 14:45 |
| KotCzarny | is fine | 14:46 |
| KotCzarny | the only lost thing is infobot | 14:46 |
| ceene | oh, that creature was nice | 14:46 |
| KotCzarny | ya, and useful too | 14:46 |
| ceene | from https://medium.com/geekculture/howto-using-the-palm-pda-in-2021-3f49ae589bb6 | 14:52 |
| ceene | Modern web pages are using HTTPS and TLS, which are not supported by the Palm OS browser: | 14:53 |
| ceene | Enthusiasts tried to create solutions, like the freeware WebOne proxy. This proxy is converting requests in real-time that allows old browsers to open the web pages | 14:53 |
| ceene | https://github.com/atauenis/webone | 14:53 |
| KotCzarny | bigger problem is sh*tty js everywhere | 14:54 |
| ceene | Another solution is a so-called Web Rendering Proxy, which can be also downloaded for free from GitHub. The idea is simple — the proxy is running on a modern PC, where all requested web pages are rendering in memory. Results are sending to a device in a form of simple HTML with all data embedded in a form of a gif or png layer. In theory, it allows to open any page on a really old machine | 14:54 |
| ceene | https://github.com/tenox7/wrp | 14:54 |
| KotCzarny | so even if you get the data, it doesnt work | 14:54 |
| ceene | this one maybe solves that | 14:54 |
| ceene | at least for basic navigation | 14:55 |
| ceene | It works by rendering a web page in to a GIF or PNG image with clickable imagemap. | 14:55 |
| KotCzarny | what about menus? | 14:55 |
| KotCzarny | and misc functions on page | 14:55 |
| KotCzarny | hovers, sliders etc | 14:55 |
| ceene | the screenshot on github is of modern gmail | 14:55 |
| ceene | so who knows | 14:55 |
| ceene | maybe it works "somehow" | 14:55 |
| ceene | https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tenox7/wrp/master/wrp.png | 14:56 |
| enyc | oh wow things happening on new place good ;p | 15:14 |
| bencoh | I tried WRP a few years ago | 15:14 |
| bencoh | it kinda worked | 15:14 |
| bencoh | (I think it was WRP) | 15:14 |
| ceene | it looks interesting for things beyond navigation on old devices | 15:17 |
| ceene | wow, what a coincidence | 15:50 |
| ceene | I've just found this thread https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=101216 | 15:50 |
| ceene | I just decide to take a look at what's going on at TMO and I find someone needs me to fix something | 15:51 |
| ceene | cool :) | 15:51 |
| KotCzarny | with only 4 days of lag | 15:52 |
| KotCzarny | which isnt that bad considering old hw/sw | 15:52 |
| KotCzarny | :) | 15:52 |
| ceene | yeah, total coincidence | 15:52 |
| sicelo | So that render to gif thing is somewhat same as opera mobile | 17:21 |
| sicelo | Opera Mini. Rather | 17:21 |
| bencoh | Oh, I should probably login and post regarding the repository | 17:34 |
| joerg | seems to me like we had that approach as an idea every 6 months since ages of OpenMoko already | 20:47 |
| KotCzarny | wasnt it the opera-mobile that was first? | 20:48 |
| joerg | bencoh: is the repo fixed? | 20:49 |
| joerg | I think it was speedevil who thought about such concept even pre-opera times | 20:50 |
| bencoh | joerg: mine isn't, ceene's (linenoise) is | 21:53 |
| joerg | aah, ok | 21:59 |
