Playing with a new experimental tool "dilloc" to control #Dillo from the command line via a UNIX socket. Here is a simple example to open the current page in the reader view plugin (in the same tab):
% dilloc open rdrview:$(dilloc url)
The "dilloc url" command prints the current tab url to stdout, which can then be easily manipulated. Here is another example with sed, to redirect the current tab to the old reddit interface:
% dilloc open $(dilloc url | sed 's|www.reddit.com|old.reddit.com|')
Support for brotli just landed in #Dillo. It should reduce the HTML transfer size by about 20% when compared with gzip.
@martinschlegel @Extelec Pretty much any version of #NetBSD should run on a #ThinkPad T23 out of the box, and #pkgsrc will include the ~latest #firefox. I tested it on a ThinkPad T41, which is only two years more recent than the T23 - https://youtu.be/jYS4TcgxMxU
Now, whether you can do anything *useful* in modern Firefox on a 1GB 32 bit machine... not so much
#PaleMoon or #ArcticFox are pretty capable browsers which run well on smaller machines - and #Dillo will *scream* on that spec hardware 
Oh no, my blog shows up in the Dillo like a 
Looks like it's time to edit the CSS 
So I feel like I finally made a hands-on contribution to a #FreeSoftware project:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/dillo/-/issues/3
I found out that #dillo in Arch Linux can't browse IPv6 sites as the support is not explicitly compiled in. Rather than discussing it here, I decided to go straight to the maintainer's repo with the fix.
I feel happy, even if a little silly for some reason. I never did a technical commentary like this before, and if it gets merged it's my first real contribution to a project!
@4bz i liked #ploum's essay about the two webs:
https://ploum.net/2023-08-01-splitting-the-web.html
i think it makes sense to resort tl a shitty web browser for the shitty JS-powered capitalist web; and whenever possible use #ytdlp or #tubular for hostile sites like #youtube;
and then use other web browsers (or rss readers, or ...) for the enjoyable web. those web browsers might not even need JS. these include #offpunk, #lynx, #netsurf, #dillo, #links, #edbrowse, #librera, #eww.
New #Dillo plugin to display GNU Info pages available here: https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo-plugin-info
References are easy to follow by clicking on the hyperlink to other info: pages.
After some fixes, #Dillo also builds and runs on Solaris 10 (released in 2005 and still maintained!).

@dillo And here is the original #Dillo talk by Jorge Arellano Cid back in 2005: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6mb9qt2-3o
#TinyCore #Linux is stunning. Here it is running successfully on a 1999 Sony VAIO with a single 333Mhz Celeron processor and 128Mb RAM.
Getting it booted was no effort; burn a CDROM and boot from it. Setting up wireless networking using an ancient D-Link branded WiFi USB dongle was a different story, but I got it working in the end.
That's the #Dillo browser running in the foreground!
"Resurrecting the minimalistic Dillo web browser" by Rodrigo Arias Mallo
If you're serious about saving the planet, this is the Web browser you must use. (But not for Mastodon, which requires a heavyweight browser.)
The slides are in HTML, and are displayed with #Dillo, of course.
Mon blog marche plutôt bien avec #Dillo. (Par contre, pour Mastodon, c'est une catastrophe. Et pour Wikipédia, ce n'est pas terrible)
J'apprends que le développement de Dillo a repris. Si vous êtes sérieux à propos d'empreinte environnementale du numérique, de numérique soutenable, si vous ne vous contentez pas d'en faire des discours, c'est le navigateur que vous devriez utiliser.

"The median page weight for a desktop page, as measured in October 2024 is 2,652 KB", we could fit two #Dillo releases there!
