No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I run a website where my community and I all contribute to a free shared database that houses settings for machines we can use. I don't know how I'd really do that without managing every single submission manually. I think that like all things there's a way to use js responsibly.
bla bla bla
Like I said in the op, I'm aware of the naivety. In other words, it is a stupid question intended to expand my understanding.Why can't you script the server with the same functions to do all of the required processing locally? Why do you need to move that script to the client machine? I'm not talking about conventions or languages or browsers or even infrastructure per say. Fundamentally, I do not understand why processing should ever happen on a client device.
Like I don't care about marketing and styling aesthetics enough to sell myself into digital slavery. My device should take content and best display that content independent of outside sources. Things like the entire Unicode fonts library should be required in every device made. Any further fonts and styling I see are entirely up to me. For content you host, the website should have a selection of image sizes and frames configured and available where my device selects the best compromise according to my settings.
In my ideal internet, all Internet connections are a two way static IP address. Most of the web should be hosted on distributed local nodes. Everything I do and share should just be a thing on a single board computer hanging off my router that is as easy and simple as just plugging in, powering on, and using a couple of thumb drives to manually pass encryption keys between devices to setup the system securely without further understanding required. Then I can use the raw IP or create an account on a .publiccommons server that hosts the DNS table with an annual automated email cycle to continue the records.
I have shared a bunch of unique content on both YouTube and GitHub, and several forums before that. I never have tried to monetize any of it. I would prefer to self host that stuff, but I am not into the hobby of self hosting, and when I look into it, the subject seems ridiculously overcomplicated without a reasonable entry level minimum scope clearly defined. I assume this obfuscating complexity is because it is a profitable exploitation model to obscure this obvious democratic solution.
Like, if you are hosting a bunch of traffic from users that have a similar vested interest, hosting should not be entirely centralized. The users should have the ability to shoulder a part of that load as a remote cache if they choose.
No worries it wasn't an attack on you or your totally fair question. I'm no where near knowledgeable enough to give any valid responses to the inquiry, I just thought I'd share why I feel like I (we?) need it. I wanted to do X for my community and I was told I need Y to do it, thus for me for this use case its necessary. That's all I was sayin.
