I am referring to the internet here and its nature.

In a free world, you should expect to see different networks, like a network that works with text only (as the internet once was), or a network that has central place for selling products with strict rules to prevent fooling the customer in any way... whatever it is, I am not arguing for any of this now... I am asking why do we have a single network?

Pacer is a Chrome extension designed to help you read faster on the web. I created it out of frustration with alternatives that required copying and pasting text repeatedly.

It’s based on a technique called RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation), where words are shown one at a time in quick succession to minimize the time spent reading. However, unlike traditional RSVP, the words in Pacer aren’t fixed in one place.

It’s been helpful for me and several friends, and I’d love for you to try it as well. It's not perfect and there are things that are up for improvement but am sharing it here for everybody to use. Pacer is free and available on the Chrome Web Store.

Give it a try, and I’d appreciate any feedback on how I can improve it to make your web reading experience even better.

So Criu (https://criu.org/) , is a checkpoint restore utility which could be used with docker.

Now the main use case of this is docker live migration from which I learned something

But I also realised that this allows (atleast on linux) (though you could use wsl on windows) to allow decompression software like winrar , peazip etc. or cli tools like unrar-free to shutdown while the decompression is taking place and also erlang + criu just feels like a very awesome combination

Now we could do something like this by taking random access (https://github.com/mxmlnkn/ratarmount)

but I was wondering about this if we could have some sort of backup software where it would continue downloading the file right from where its left even the computer shuts down.

and though there is dmtcp , I am not exactly sure if that's the right cause since on criu's website comparing this.

It says "Such behavior is very dangerous, as application might see wrong files in the /proc filesystem if it will try to access one via its PID."

Now I was wondering if we could have a general sort of Virtual Machine which could run a specific language (especially the erlang , especially erlang with its let it fail approach could be nice) / For decompression software as well.

Is criu the best we can get within the linux world , has somebody thought of creating a very lightweight os meant to be as a virtual machine with checkpoint / restore.

Or could we rather instead of Criu , actually try to do this without Criu , right in the decompression software tooling ?

I am somewhat confused about this , and I would really like it if someone with experience could simplify where I should try to put my efforts into doing such project

I'm coding a form builder from scratch. I want it to be different from the others.

I wonder what kind of expectations are you in? What kind of features do you think should be in a form builder?

I am open to many ideas because I am under construction.
