Rust Coreutils cp Ended Up Breaking Ubuntu Image Builds With Latest Incompatibility

How a Seemingly Harmless Image Can Jailbreak Vision-Language AI Models

@movq@www.uninformativ.de CEF turns out to be pretty easy. I had to write a bit of C and Go to bridge, but once that got going I was able to write it into my pure Go go-wayland wlui library for final rendering. The delegating the entire CEF part was a good idea though because it keeps all the complexity in a container Image, leaving me with just the Go + C stubs/interface and SHM/IPC parts.

So I decided to change tact a bit with GoNIX and instead of trying to build apure Go browser from scratch (which I kinda of half succeeded, in at least it was able to render most static ssr sites), I’ve instead decided to write a new browsered using the Chromium Embedded Framework, otherwise known as CEF. So now I have a fully working browser in GoNIX 🎉 – However since my goal is to keep GoNIX pretty lcean and mostly written in Go, I delegated the cef part(s) to an OCI container image and run that with GoNIX’s box (command-line container runtime). It works great 👍

Compromise: Don’t lazy-load the first ~7 images or so, i.e. the ones that are immediately in view.

Ah, with lazy loading, browsers only start loading images when the load event occurs. And that takes time. Hm. Not a fan, I might revert this. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I noticed that loading="lazy" might not be so great after all.

This is without lazy loading:

The total page load time is around 400-500 ms. Okay.

Now this is with lazy loading:

It finished much quicker, after about 250 ms. Sounds good.

But notice this gap right here?

This wasn’t there before. With lazy loading, it now takes something like 80-100 ms until the browser even starts loading images. This is Chromium, but Firefox shows a similar gap.

The net result is that there is a very noticeable delay/flicker when you open a page, because it takes so long until the images have loaded. Yes, the layout doesn’t shift around, but that has nothing to do with lazy loading.

How odd. 🤔

I complain about this a lot:

https://movq.de/v/e7cb49eefb/hiccupfx

But to be honest, my blog did the same thing – to some degree.

This is fixed now. The trick is to add width and height to all <img> tags. That way, modern browsers know how much space to reserve for the image. Without this, they just reserve zero space, so when the image finally loads, you get jumpy layout.

This effect is even worse when you use <img loading="lazy"> – which I can finally use, now that the jumpy layout has been fixed. 🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, Rust is quite popular in the Wayland scene, it seems.

In image viewer in 170 lines? Show me. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net The only image viewer I like in general is this one:

https://codeberg.org/nsxiv/nsxiv

It’s for X11, though.

Allegedly, this Wayland image viewer is somewhat similar to nsxiv, maybe you’ll like that? 🤔

https://github.com/artemsen/swayimg

Hmmm are there really no decent Wayland (desktop) compatible image viewers that don’t drag in Mesa and all it’s hundreds of dependences or GCC and libgcc and it’s multi-hour long build time or Rust? geez
