These are completely different types of services. One is a DoH recursive DNS resolver for use by clients. The other is a DNSSEC enabled DNS hosting provider for domain owners. The encryption in use is completely different with different goals.
Is there any webview control ready to use in linux? When I say Tauri it's just the webview control, used as a cargo package as "wry" in macos. I don't care about the framework itself, just the webview control. If that's the case then Rust/(stripped down WebView) is all we need to be honest
Edit: Looks like the same "wry" package can be used in linux
The README for wry under Platform Considerations suggests its not actually implementing the webview but just a wrapper that uses the correct one for each platform. The usage of WebKitGTK IS the problem that makes it second class on linux. I talked about this more in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49514323
Can you expand on that? The point of an appimage is so you don't have any dependencies or linking errors. Rust can still link to libraries, so that doesn't seem to be a weird pattern to me.
Electron appimage would be weird though since it does all its bundling by itself
Sure. Tauri tries to claim its lighter than Electron by not including a full web browser in its runtime and instead using the system renderer. But Linux doesn't have a universal system renderer like Windows and Mac does so it uses Webkit2Gtk on Linux. Libwebkit is an absolute mess of a library. It hardcodes the path to /usr which doesn't work in AppImages resulting in this[1] hack of a fix that replaces `/usr` with `././`. This problem isn't unique to Tauri as I have seen apps using Wails copy this same trick to package their AppImages.
Now the problem with libwebkit goes even deeper because Tauri uses libwebkit2gtk-4.1 after moving away from 4.0. When you build an AppImage you want to do it on the oldest possible distro you want to support because it will be built against GLIBC of that distro release. Due to how most devs release apps now, that means they compile against an Ubuntu LTS release because Ubuntu is the only option with Github Actions[2]. The first LTS version of Ubuntu with 4.1 is 22.04, so now by default you can expect every Tauri (and also probably Wails) AppImage to be built against GLIBC 2.36. But theres a bug in the interaction of older libwebkit2gtk and newer freetype that happens when you use an AppImage built on Ubuntu 22.04 on a newer distro. It crashes when displaying an emoji character. Freetype is one of the libraries you cannot include in an AppImage but you must include libwebkit2gtk, the solution is to use a newer libwebkit2gtk but thats only available in Ubuntu 24.04 and bumps the GLIBC to 2.39. Do you see how much of a mess this usage of libwebkit2gtk in an AppImage turns out to be.
And moving beyond that, the Tauri devs has an absolute disdain for the AppImage format and treat it as a 2nd class platform as you can see in this[3] PR where AppImage developers tell the Tauri devs to update to newer tools instead of mirroring the old obsolete broken tool that was taken down. This also meant that AppImages created by Tauri's build tools depended on libfuse2 being installed on the system while newer AppImages using the type2-runtime do not anymore. I believe Tauri has finally moved forward and stopped doing this recently. Electon is no better on this and electron-builder uses an outdated hardcoded tool that makes bad AppImages that depend on libfuse2 too.
I do like the AppImage format, but I do not believe anything that uses libwebkit2gtk-4.1 is fit to be distributed as an AppImage at this time. This means that Tauri (and by extension probably Wails, and some of these other NOT Electron frameworks) are not fit to be truly called cross platform. It does look like Tauri was making progress on Flatpak documentation so app developers could have a second cross distro packaging method. Ideally I think any framework that wants to label itself as cross platform should make it easy to package both AppImage and Flatpak and not run into the above libwebkit2gtk issues.
[2]This is not entirely true, you can use a docker image inside the Github Actions Ubuntu VM or a sysroot but that is beyond even most expereinced app devs to setup.
Thank you for the detailed reply. I just recently started playing with Tauri, so I was not aware. I also heard that gtkwebview is slow as dirt. Sounds like verso support can't come quick enough.
He clearly "suffers" from narcissistic personality disorder, trying to change him is a waste of time. Even if he was a normal person, I see no rational reason for him to change his behavior given how successful he is.
So what works for you: seeing him disappear from the Earth? He's not a human anymore? Have you ever spoken with him directly before? Or do you just read and write about people you've never had any real interaction with?
Some yes. I am not american, so i don't see anything particularly wrong with them. The main thing americans forget is that they are the invaders that replaced the local population and erased local culture.
This is hilarious. He isn't American and isn't talking about American in his racist rants. The people calling out his racism aren't focused on America or a majority American. His main blog post that gets called out for the blatant racism is titled "As I Remember London".
Maybe someday a real end-to-end encrypted email solution will finally exist.
Until then all we have are solutions that only work between a small handful of providers or "click this link to view your secure message" garage that could just as easily be replaced and faked.
Every time I log into my bank it asks me if I want to switch to electronic statements. Yet I know they won't be sending me a monthly electronic statement; they will send me a link to login (with 2FA!) to view a statement on their portal.
Just a completely hostile experience -- I am going to stick with the paper, thanks. Let me know when you can send me a monthly PDF.
It's because curl is often embedded as a library or standalone executable with other software. So when a malicious or compromised piece of software is found, a less experienced investigator might see curl with its author tags in the file metadata, and follow it back to upstream.
You can use any CI/CD you want. The only reason GH is popular is that it's free for public repos.
But Forgejo does have a GH like CI/CD. If you really care about good CI/CD then you should try some of the alternatives out and decide what works best for your needs.

It's also free for private repos, and I have both. Codeberg doesn't like private repos, so unfortunately I cannot just move everything to Codeberg. I'll probably set up a Forgejo VPS somewhere.
For a forgejo host, check codefloe.com if what you need is a place to host personal projects or smaller teams. It’s been rock solid and it is now the default choice for anything outside of work I’ll do.
I don't have any specific recommendations other than do as little in your CI/CD as possible, instead do as much as possible in your build system or scripts that get called by CI/CD. This way you can migrate with less work or run locally when you want.
Hopefully a good spot to plug my own project, preloop, which is a drop-in replacement of Github actions(both the runners and control plane) that runs locally or self-hosted in isoalted microvms, and supports debug-on-failure. You can also push to the server, run CI and then optionally create a draft PR. Not quite production-ready yet(for the self-hosted part), but the local part works well. We implement the official runner protocol 100% unlike act/gitea/forgejo, so your workflows are more likely to work out of the box with preloop(forgejo has the closest compatibility with Github Actions though so it's a good off-Github option) and we use microvms so no DinD issues. I'm working on getting the official runner vm image up to reduce any environment incompatibilities. Feel free to try it out: https://github.com/preloopdev/preloop
