Librewolf is my browser of choice. It’s exactly what Firefox should have been. It allows me to easily reject all cookies/tracking except when I truly want it.

I like Librewolf (when #offpunk is not enough ;-) )

Offpunk’s Development Guidelines Offpunk Tutorial

Updated #offpunk development guidelines to be clear about the use of chatbots:

The code of the website is in the git repository in the "tutorial" folder. Patches to fix typo or improve the website are welcome:

I’m very sad that I can’t read acm.org without javascript (which I don’t have in #offpunk )

https://cacm.acm.org/opinion/the-tears-of-donald-knuth/

When I worked on #offpunk 2.0, I divided the code into the netcache, ansicat and openk components, hoping someone would, one day, use them to do something I never imagined.

Well, it happened: there’s now a #neovim plugin using Openk to render gemini/web pages in you #vim editor! […]

Multiple people have requested an easy way to install #offpunk under Windows 🪟

My last Widows experience was XP, I cannot help. But maybe you can help by creating an Offpunk package for Scoop:

https://scoop.sh/

Packagers are also requested for:
- Homebrew 🍏
- OpenBSD :openbsd:
- Fedora […]

As I mainly browse the web using =offpunk, which has no JS support, I can say that, yes, some sites require JS.

Some site that, when loaded in a full browser, display only text! Blog posts! Not even pictures or shiny effect. No, a few paragraphs of text.

And they don’t load at all without JS […]

Copie d’écran d’un terminal montrant un extrait du standblog en blanc sur fond noir. Les liens sont en bleus sauf un, qui est en rouge. Et ce lien a justement un avertissement disant "Attention, dirige vers X/Twitter"

Lire @nitot depuis #offpunk et constater que, chez lui, la nouvelle fonctionnalité de mettre en rouge les liens vers les sites bloqués est redondante ;-)

Bientôt dans Offpunk 3.0 !

Offpunk is now "translatable". If you want to help translate #offpunk in your language before the 3.0, release, join us !

I accidently discovered that someone did a fork of #offpunk to make it support #RRTP (Reticulum Resource Transfer Protoco)

https://reticulum.network/manual/understanding.html

But I had never heard of it. That’s exactly the kind of stuff I see people adding to Offpunk! […]

If you are a command-line geek and dream of browsing the web in your terminal, you should really try #offpunk :

Latest trunk now has support for #unmerdify and it starts to work really great […]

Pour les amateurs de la ligne de commande, j’explique ici l ’intégration de Unmerdify dans Offpunk :

I did a first attempt at integrating the #unmerdify tool from @vjousse in #offpunk

It means to become a way to strip html pages from all the unnecessary cruft and displaying the content […]

Offpunk, an offline-first command-line browser Offpunk Tutorial

Now unwinding with trying out #offpunk offpunk.net #shell #linux #unix #cli #gopher #gemini

Releasing #offpunk 2.8

Offpunk is an command-line, offline first web/gemini/gopher browser

https://offpunk.net

Release notes :

https://git.sr.ht/~lioploum/offpunk/refs/v2.8

#gemini #geminiprotocol #gopher #smallweb #smolnet #tui #offline

@xgranade : there was a great post about that by @patatas on the #geminiprotocol network :

gemini://gemini.patatas.ca/posts/poison-as-praxis.gmi

(you will need a gemini client like Lagrange or #offpunk to read it)

Premier toot en #ergol sur un clavier #dygma defy et première session #offpunk. Ça va pas être de tout repos, surtout dans vim. Je regrette un peu les voyelles à gauche de #bépo. E et T sous les majeurs me perturbent un peu. mais je suis motivé.

I believe that #offpunk could be a perfect browser for vision-impaired users. But I can’t judge it myself. If you use the Linux command-line with any vision accessibility tool, I would be really curious to hear your feedback about Offpunk.

Both about the browser and the website […]

3 years ago, I wrote about "Why Gemini is Essential".

I explore a lifestyle change I made at the time which forced me to develop #offpunk

This change has become completely part of my identity. I could not live without offpunk anymore. I don’t take my Internet connection for granted and often […]

Yes, XKCDpunk was a joke. But it was also a real #offpunk release.

So, to clarify the situation, here’s Offpunk 2.7.1 which is basically XKCDpunk but with its old name.

Yes, the #xkcd command is trully working.

Goodbye Offpunk, Welcome XKCDpunk! Goodbye Offpunk, Welcome XKCDpunk! par Ploum - Lionel Dricot.

Fun fact: on April 1st, I joked that Offpunk will be renamed to XKCDpunk.

Everybody managed to get the joke.

Few realized that this was a true release and that the advertised XKCD feature has been trully implemented.

3 years ago, as I just had created Offpunk, I started to implement what would become ansicat : a way to render HTML (or any format) in your terminal

Besides a lot of technical learning, the biggest lesson was probably how bad people are at writing texts and abusing any format […]
