#43The web needs more sites hosting raw .html pages formatted as plain text decorated with ASCII art with zero regard for mobile. I say this with complete sincerity.
Use HTMX.

Wouldn't raw html be better for accessibility than a JS framework? Saying this as a non-front end dev.
If done correctly it doesn’t matter. SSR can yield an accessible HTML page and you won’t notice the difference. Client-side JS can adapt the web site to your needs -a personalization that is hard to achieve in static.
When was the last time... Or rather, when have you ever seen a framework-based page with accessibility done correctly?

#45Weren't these the guys who released BackOrifice back in the day? It was a simple to use remote control trojan with a nice GUI... had a blast with it :P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Orifice?wprov=sfla1 As a kid, I attached it to some shareware game and sent it to a friend, letting it lurk. I called him up a few days later. And then once we started playing the game, I waited for a suspenseful moment to suddenly p…
Around that time, maybe a little bit earlier, I was a Sun nerd surrounded by other Sun nerds, but this worked for Linux too: We'd FTP into each other's machines and upload things like .au files of lonely whale cries into /dev/audio for an endless supply of WTF Moments.

#46Oh man, does this bring back memories. I loved BackOrfice. I installed it on the network at the University where I was a student. I had a friend call me on a payphone from a vantage point where he could view the layout of the computer terminals being used by students doing research. At first, I would open the cd trays of a couple of the computers and he described the students confusion as they kept closing the trays that would open again moments later. After sharing a good laugh, I popped up a dialog on one of the computers with a message similar to:
> Hey, I am the guy at station #7. I think you are really hot. Want to go out tonight?
Then, I sent similar messages to other stations until we were nearly in tears laughing at the chaos we caused. Ahh, those were good memories.

#47They gave a great presentation on veiled for us at BSides Orlando last year. At the afterparty, I had a chance to discuss the protocol with Paul over some drinks. They've really thought through the design and he had answers for almost all of my what-ifs.

What about accessibility?
Oooh good point. W3c accounts for it, and it's not that tough. Just a case of putting in the raw html:

Oh the good times in the Un*x lab (Mostly AIX, sigh) in my first year of Uni.
Telnet (What? SSH in 1995-6? nah) to friend's workstation
DISPLAY=0:0; export DISPLAY
xwininfo -root -all
*find some candidate window or control*
xkill -id XXXXXX
(or just fire a perl oneliner to allocate the sum of memory and swap, and then repeatedly scan it in a random pattern. But that wasn't me).*
