Static
Javascript
Has someone changed the meaning of static? I've always thought it meant the opposite of Dynamic HTML
No, static sites are usually more js heavy because they offset all the processing to the client.
This is one reason I avoid static sites, and just heavily cache the server.
Static files as in static file handling in a web server no CGI, modules, server side code required.
Sounds like JS is a depend
Well yeah, you need to do the computation somewhere and it's not doing it on the server so...
Right, so it has a depend and it won't work for many users
There's no way to otherwise make this work for many users. They can use Tor if they're worried.
Sure there is. Don't do it in a browser.
