Sigh. No hashes for you in browserland if your page is served from HTTP (self.crypto.subtle.digest is unavailable). Seriously? What an enormous pain in the ass.
Now I need to setup SSL certs to do development which means either fighting with browsers hating self-signed, or jumping through hoops to get a cert for a non-public host, or moving my development to a VPS machine, etc.
Update: I'm not asking how to do these things (I know how), just complaining about the necessity.
The model of distributing javascript modules either via "import it directly from this CDN that you have to hope will still be there in the future" or "checkout our source code and use some miserable javascript build system" is pretty infuriating.
This thing at least makes it possible to mirror/vendor this nonsense:

I'm having fun poking at some app coding in modern vanilla javascript this week and am once again repeatedly annoyed by the security model making many things impossible to do unless you fire up a web server.
I'd like to be able to use the browser as a host environment for "portable" local apps.
It'd be really nice if there was a way to package up a bundle of html/css/js/images/etc (say in a zip file!) and treat that as a unique same-origin environment.
@eeyikes That sucks and reminds me of the dj’d pool parties my apartment would sponsor when I’d rather have a rent discount.
Since I opened up the bottle of whine, the participants have also commandeered “my” parking space to set up the game since it gets afternoon shade…which is why I use it. Old lady #grumbles! Maxine is my spirit animal.
I can’t stand the overcast skies never ending it reminds me of bloody geelong when climate change was obviously kicking in many years ago. Never saw the autumn again. Same happening here. Miss the autumn and all it brought. It’s a long time two or three or longer years since we have had a proper autumn #grumbles #grumbling #grumblingon
Annoying. libusb requires you to open a device before reading string descriptors (necessitating you have read/write permission because libusb only opens devices RW).
On modern Linux (and I believe on Windows and OSX) this is not actually necessary and makes enumeration and reporting errors to users that much more complicated than need be.
This feature has been discussed, but there has been no forward motion, it seems:

a lot of the local fast food places have switched from paper cups to plastic ones that are stamped with please recycle...I'm a little nonplussed because we don't have plastic recycling facilities in our area in the first place, especially none that'd take plastic fast food cups that I know of. The paper ones at least decompose.
Places you really don't want to find cat diarrhoea:
1. The bit of floor you stand on while rushing to answer a landline call, that turns out to just be some call centre "Amazon Prime" scammer anyway.
2. All over a dual scart plug adapter.
Thanks a bunch Mr Tumnus.
Going to be a relatively quiet day from me I think. Managed to be productive yesterday and do the things that needed doing, but I'm definitely paying for it today. Sensory overload day after drain is a thing, and it's shit and needs to go away. #grumbles
