What kind of CPU card you have and what is that "Amifox"?

Five years ago I made this [ Show youtube player ]

It is with 68060 CPU and Netsuft web browser. Netsurf used to be almost useable, current state is ütter slow and pain.

It's effectively a remote connection through to a web-browser running on another machine. Kinda like VNC or RemoteDesktop.

Last time I used VNC/Remote Desktop on my Amiga to my PC I remember the results being better than this but I did have 040@25MHz and RTG.

Well, you can download directly from the browser to your Amiga. Copy, paste text from the browser to the Amiga, so it is little different The server is also online, so no need to open other computer

I see, it's a handy prebuilt Man-In-The-Middle attack

Something like that


I think the idea is great if it will work a little faster. It is useful no matter how, at least to me.

I guess it should be faster, if one hosts the server at home and/or sets tooltype UseSSL=NO.

Yes, exactly. Home server might be much faster but not exactly what I would like.
We will see what people come up with.

With the online option for now you can not, or at least should not log inn to anything.

I did not know Hippo could find/play Radio Stations

It is a quite new feature.

Hippo is very advanced now

I've sent the info to Claude, the developer of PiStorm, to goat him into a "Self-host" where the WRP server runs on another CPU on the RPi

AmiFox is still too slow to use on anything than a really fast amiga.. but cool concept tho'

[Gorf]

This WRP supports only png, gif and jpg for now … and only for the slowest option, gif, you can reduce the colours.
Would be great if this server would support IFF export - this might speed things up.

(And of course there is no way around self-hosting and disabling encryption, as this clearly slows everything down …)

[DisasterIncarna]

the blog mentions a modified docker setup on github, i dont suppose theres a handy upload for it on dockerhub for us morons who only use the likes of portainer to auto do the magic for us?

EDIT: now i actually use my head and look for alb42 related stuff, i see there is: https://hub.docker.com/r/alb42/amifoxserver im guessing thats what im after?

EDIT2: The docker image does indeed work.... except everything, especially google results are showing in german.

Yeah, trying it now on my 1200 with an ACA1230/28.
Working, but about 30-45 seconds between page loads/updates. (PCMCIA Ethernet)
And an update can be clicking the scrollbar box to go down one the page.

Still, works tho.

Just went to Aminet (Yeah, I know I can go to that quicker with AWeb) to test downloading. That worked.

Funny dithering tho. All of the alternating light/dark grey columns as really really dithered. I can still read it (well, most of it).
I couldn't actually read what I downloaded. I chose it because of the size, which I could read. But what it was (hasMMU.lha) was pretty illegible.

OH!!!

It is using my Workbench screen. Which I have set to 16 colors... That can't help the rendering... ;-)

Yep, set my WB to 64 colors and aminet is much more legible.

Wagging my finger: a man in the middle is not always an attack It is a valid solution to problems as well.

You need a Linux server? Example?

Just to be clear, you don't need a Linux server to run the app and browse.
If you want to set up your own "proxy" that does the transformations for better security, then you need a place to run the app, which is apparently a docker container.
You can run those on your own Linux box, or a Docker server in the cloud of your own.

For my test, I just used the default the devs have setup. Which of course means I am not going to any banking websites for this. ;-) ;-)
