  • Why were your projects no longer welcomed at Codeberg?
    by leephillips
  • "This reporitory [https://tangled.org/janantos.tngl.sh/brow6el] is now the main and only source of truth, previous on Codeberg [https://codeberg.org/janantos/brow6el] is kept for referrence only. I have decided to migrated from Codeberg because of my other projects are not welcomed there anymore and I want to keep my projects together on single platform."

  • Codeberg recently changed policy to not allow primarily AI-authored projects.

  • Tbh, I don’t want to be part of codeberg anymore, their community moved away from my believes. And as I have another projects being according them not welcomed there because they are tied to LLM ecosystem. I have prof of concept of AI coding agent entirely written in bash and also near realtime spoken word translation/transcription project using selfhosted Gemma4 and Nvidia Parakeet LLM models. In their latest blog they clearly stated those projects are not welcomed there, so I don’t see the reason to keep my projects there at all, how much I have understanding for their decision and I do believe that LLMs shall be used responsibly I don’t align myself with their community anymore and do not want to be part of it. I am more aligning with Linus Torvalds about LLMs opinions. From now Codeberg community is unpredictable.

  • Can Brow6el work as expected within a Docker container?
    by zarski
  • Docker is somehow problematic as it breaks somehow pty. but it works in distrobox, which is using containers, so there must be some parameters to make it run in docker. Another idea I had to mitigate it, was running ssh server using supervisord side by side

  • I don't like the name. Can suggest renaming to insane browser because this is actually insane in a good way. :)

    What happens if you run it in a TTY ? Does it fail to render anything?

    by tim-projects
  • If you use yaft in tty it runs just fine except mouse, so you need to use keyboard mouse emulation I have inplemented for these and not only these scenarios.

  • > WARNING: Kitty image support (currently only in main branch builds) by its design nature is barelly usable in SSH when brow6el runs on remote host, this feature is usable when brow6el is executed on localhost. On ssh the responsivenes of browser is significantly affected, due to massive data transfers on each frame rendered

    But it's fine in the default Sixel?

  • Yes it is, I am testing it regularily, thats the reason I have implemented tailing rendering support in sixel renderer, to send only part of screen that has changed.

  • I just don't understand...what is the use case of this? I thought it would be something that cleverly renders text without style in a minimalist-browser sort of way. But this just literally...shows you the web page...in the CLI? I'm confused.

  • You could terminal into a remote machine terminal and use a web browser in the tty without needing an X11 windowing support.

  • I don't think any of these text-based web browsers are actively maintained;

    Ladybird browser may be easier to build a TUI terminal user interface for than other brothers because of Lagom FWIU (LibWeb and LibJs are already decoupled from the UI and rendering)
