Subject: [users@bb.net] support users w/o JavaScript
Message-ID: <20251110012754.M941142@dcvr>
Hello, some background:
I am trying to improve support for tinycc (tcc) in gnulib and
some changes are shared with glibc. I am doing this so more
users with old, slow hardware can exercise software freedom
without needing newer (often buggier) hardware.
I get notification emails for glibc from buildbot failures.
To my shock, I can't even view logs from a terminal on an old
laptop where graphics are no longer supported.
Attached is an untested patch which hopefully makes the default
emails easier.
However, I (and probably others in similar situations) would
much appreciate if the entire UI could work well on without
JavaScript. Even with graphics support, using JS would put me
at risk for swap storms and security problems.
As you might expect, it'd probably take days for someone with
my (lack of) resources to get a Python + JS environment up to
actually test such a change. So I'm submitting the one line
email change as-is in hopes someone familiar with the codebase
can massage it into shape easily.
Note: I can't use the official bug tracker on GH, either, since
that also requires a JS CAPTCHA, Terms-of-Service and I'm
unwilling to endorse or condone the use of proprietary SaaS.
I've been anti-GitHub since 2008, but it looks like the SFC
isn't a fan, either:
Thank you.
