Abandonware of the web: do you know that there is an HTML tables API?6 months agohttps://christianheilmann.com/2025/10/08/abandonware-of-the-web-do-you-know-that...HTML tables have a forgotten API that allows manipulation without re-rendering the entire table.The API supports creating tables from nested arrays, adding/deleting rows and cells, and accessing cells by index.Example code demonstrates creating a table from an array and manipulating rows and cells.Limitations include odd syntax (e.g., `-1` to add a row at the end) and inability to create `TH` elements.Suggests revisiting the API to add more functionality, similar to enhancements made to HTML forms.

You Don't Need Anubis6 months agohttps://fxgn.dev/blog/anubis/Scrapers by LLM training companies have become more aggressive, ignoring robots.txt and using spoofed User Agents and IPs.Anubis, a proof-of-work bot protection solution, is often used but may not be necessary for those only needing protection against LLM scrapers.Anubis's effectiveness against bots is limited because many LLM scrapers do not run JavaScript.A simple 12-line Caddyfile solution can effectively block scrapers by requiring JavaScript to set a cookie, without the drawbacks of Anubis.Cloudflare remains the most reliable solution for bot protection, though it has its own drawbacks.Anubis is recommended only for specific cases like DDoS protection, not for general use against LLM scrapers.

Why Nextcloud feels slow to use6 months agohttps://ounapuu.ee/posts/2025/11/03/nextcloud-slow/Nextcloud offers a comprehensive feature set but feels slow to use despite optimizations.The main issue is the large amount of JavaScript loaded (15-20 MB uncompressed, 4-5 MB compressed).Key JavaScript files include core-common.js (4.71 MB), NotificationsApp.chunk.mjs (1.06 MB), and app-specific scripts like Calendar (5.94 MB) and Notes (4.36 MB).The slow performance affects usability, such as delays in loading the Tasks app on mobile devices.Nextcloud's architecture likely contributes to the bloated JavaScript, impacting the functionality-to-bundle-size ratio.Alternatives like Vikunja (1.5 MB JavaScript) offer faster performance, but Nextcloud's convenience keeps users from fully switching.Performance issues may stem from overworked development teams, but user experience suffers as a result.The author recommends reading Alex Russell's work on web performance for insights and improvements.
