Re: [sqlite] New SQLite Forum requires Javascript?

As far as I know, the forum only uses javascript to scroll to the most

scrolling manually, I think everything else will just work.  Did you
try it?


I did try it and your description does not match my experience.

Here's what I tried: I visited https://sqlite.org/forum which redirected me to 
https://sqlite.org/forum/forummain and there I see a list of "Most recent threads" 
with a table of (I assume) recent threads and text at the bottom telling me how long 
it took to generate that page.


But every link in that table which would (again I assume) point to a page with that 
thread's text instead points to https://sqlite.org/forum/honeypot . Visiting 
https://sqlite.org/forum/honeypot returns a 1-paragraph page which says "Please 
enable javascript or log in to see this content".


Hence I don't get to read the threads from the thread table.

[sqlite] New SQLite Forum requires Javascript?

The Forum is powered by Fossil.  It has been in active use in the
Fossil community for a couple of years, and has worked well.


Is there a way to use this without running the Javascript?

Re: [sqlite] sqlite.org website is now HTTPS-only

ISPs and other intermediaries alter website traffic between the server and 
the client. The purpose of their alterations is irrelevant, you should get 
the data the server is trying to send you. You can never be sure if what 
you're getting is what the server tried to send you if you're getting that 
data over HTTP instead of HTTPS.


Also, spying on the connection is trivial when data is exchanged in the 
clear. Other parties really don't need to know what you're requesting from 
or sending to a website.


The software's lack of copyright really doesn't enter into any of this.

[sqlite] Mozilla wiki 'avoid SQLite'

That page describes situations where SQLite doesn't give best available 
performance, reduce complexity, or provide needed features, and then 
goes on to justify those conclusions (including recognizing how SQLite 
isn't unique in these respects: "This isn't an indictment of SQLite 
itself -- any other relational embedded DB would pose the same 
challenges."). I'm not sure what point you were raising in your post, so 
I'll have to guess. Your summary suggests that you expected SQLite 
Consortium members will endorse SQLite even in situations where SQLite 
isn't a good fit due to preferring other tradeoffs.

Are SQLite Consortium members somehow obliged to endorse SQLite for 
tasks even when other approaches present more desirable tradeoffs? If 
so, where is this obligation published?
