Arguing about which browser does not make much sense to me because ultimately to render HTML with CSS in the way that the designer expected is the whole reason you need CSS.

ePub is interesting, but the functionality supported in the HTML is limited, as is CSS support.

You make an interesting point about JavaScript, but in my experience, the use of it is increasing, not decreasing.

I never said that Firefox, Chrome or Safari was required, there are plenty of light(er) weight browsers around, there's even a Wikipedia page about it:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_lightweight_web_browsers

My point stands, use a browser.

Can your detection method be automated and federated?

I'm asking because this is probably the thin end of the wedge and is likely to increase exponentially, especially since anyone can set up an instance and do whatever they like with it.

A browser is specifically designed for rendering HTML and does it better than anything else.

However, if you must, you can use something like pandoc to convert the HTML to something else, like a PDF or an Office document.

An alternative is to use a text only browser like lynx.

The ides that a browser is overkill is only true if you don't already have one installed and only if you're happy to put up with half baked rendering.

So .. use a browser.

The ship visible in the photo is a cruise ship.

Whoosh...

The bottom image is of the Titanic, showing only open ocean because the Titanic is not floating on the surface.

Google Lens says:

Which one of these commands is correct?

A sed -e 's/\b(\w+)\b/echo \1 | rev/g' file.txt

B: sed 's/b\w+\b/echo & | rev/ge' file.txt

Csed -e 's/(\w+)/$(echo \1 | rev)/g' file.txt

D: sed 's/([a-zA-Z]\+\)/\n&\n/g; s/\n\(\)\(.*\)\(\)\n/\3\2\1/g; s/\n//g' file.tx

It's interesting that Google doesn't even get all the text. I had to manually extend the selection and that still misses the "t" on the end of answer D, munches C and more alarmingly changes the case for "-E".

Only sometimes?

It's not just me being tempted .. right?

I've had the same phone number since 1992. It's public, on my website. It's in everyone's database. Yesterday I spoke with an organisation that I hadn't dealt with since 1998, they had it and knew my name (and when I got licensed, the reason for my call).

My phone is on silent 100% of the time.

All blocked caller ID goes direct to voicemail. The only time I actually get a voicemail from these calls is when it's a stupid robot or a human who actually needs to speak with me, the rest of the time I get nothing.

I can see a future where we get to the point where we're uncontactable because there's so much spam and fraud.

I think that the onus is on telcos to stamp this out, but it's all income generating, so they don't have any financial incentives to fix this.

This is hilarious.

It's been on my calendar and I couldn't remember why.

Okay.

Completely different track.

I'm assuming that this drive is connected by USB.

Sound attenuates with distance.

Plug in a longer cable and put it further away?

Or move to ethernet and put it in another room?

Understood.

Noise cancelling headphones?
