Hey, at least no memory leaks this time! Ü


So true. Monolith is using libraries made by Mozilla for their Rust-driven browser engine (which I believe, never happened to be). I really would love for it to be a part of some browser one day, the demand is clearly there. Nobody likes to have a file+folder abomination on their drive, or some shady formats like .webarchive


MHTML support is planned, there's a couple of other problems that need to be resolved first, but it's a good format for archiving, been requested many times


Thanks for the reply. Very exciting. I would love to see MHTML support on this.


It's only logical. Attractive people use apps and social skills to sleep with multiple other attractive people, while unattractive people masturbate and refuse to sleep with other unattractive people.


While I agree, the dynamics here is slightly unbalanced between the genders.


Those are garbage. Stick with HILTI, Metabo, Fein, Festool. Or Japanese-made Makita, as the last resort.


Maybe explain why you need to buy very expensive tools and everything else is garbage?

Just about every contractor around here (USA based) is using Milwaukee, Dewalt or Makita. These folks make a living with their tools and don't have patience for junk. Even lower tier brands like Ryobi are more than capable for home use. I got a lot done around the house with a basic Hitachi drill and corded Skil saw before treating myself to some fancier stuff.


I've run into a few contractors who have Ryobi as well, and are fine with them. They're sufficient for a lot of tasks, and most contractors end up with multiples of any tool anyway. One actually said "I may go through two Ryobi tools while you go through one, but it's still cheaper, and I worry less about losing or wrecking it."

I've yet to meet a contractor who's brand loyal to the point of only using that brand. Most have two or three brands they tend to go to.


There is the market segmentation to be considered: Ryobi is owned by the same holding that owns Milwaukee so they make sure a Ryobi tool does not perform on par with a more expensive Milwaukee equivalent. So if you do, say, electrical work, you can use a Ryobi impact because you don't really care how fast you screw a dozen fasteners you'll need in a whole day. But if you install cabinets/decks and need to put in thousands fasteners a day then you will want the fastest impact, which won't be a Ryobi by far.

As for brand loyalty - it comes from the fact that batteries are more expensive than the tools. A handyman or a two people crew on a small job can have five different batteries with five different charges for ten different tools in the truck without much problem. A crew of ten people working on the same site for days will need multiple batteries per tool and if they try to use different systems they will end up with people waiting for a free outlet so they can charge and work for a couple more hours before they will need to wait again. It's much easier to set up one charging point and pool charged batteries for everyone to use.


I know some contractors with Harbor Freight tools that they're moderately annoyed haven't died yet. Buy it once to throw away and it just keeps working.

Lots of the super price brands like Festool are more ... showoff I almost feel.


AvE on YouTube tears these tools down and compares components: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvgS71fU12Mbx-w18Chu_...


This channel looks awesome. I wanted upgraded tools this Christmas (and bought some) but didn't go this far down the rabbit hole.


Is it somewhat like SingleFile?


And WebScrapbook https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook. I use WebScrapbook instead of SingleFile because it can save the component parts (fonts, images) separately so I can save space by hard linking identical files.


I used Scrapbook for years. A nice thing is that even if I stopped using it I still have all the files I saved. There was some kind of export-function to save the tree of documents to an external index.html and I just keep that with all the other files in my hoard and can navigate all my old saved pages.

I switched to SinglePage since I prefer to just save pages as stand-alone files. It does waste some space, but I can move the saved files to wherever it makes sense in my hoard and use my filesystem for organizing files instead of HTML documents living in their own location.

I also use the Save Text to File add-on. Often only the text on a page is useful anyway. At least that compensates a bit for the space wasted when using SinglePage on other pages.


Thanks for mentioning the Save Text to File. I think I'll find that quite handy too!


Reminds me of OpenDoc


Genius


If APNG couldn't pick up steam and get widespread adoption, not sure how this will. But hopefully I'm wrong.


APNG is supported in every browser and all the video encoding tools I've used. It's not used all that often, but support for it is built into many software libraries.


Funnily, that's how I made myself remember that. Without knowing about Ken's idea.


The title should be "CBDC is out of alpha, undergoing beta testing". Strap yourselves in, boys and girls.


If you have a witty or snarky point to make, please also elaborate in a later sentence to make explicit the assumptions that make your witty point witty, for those that are out of the loop.


They have a crazy person conspiracy theory, so it only works if they don't explain it.
