Why should this be a problem for anyone outside of China? It's only when the same people can read your messages and send dudes with guns to your doorstep if they don't like what they see that things actually get dangerous.
That's interesting, but these seem like they are just a slightly more structured form of the ways in which the CCP has been known to keep track of their own nationals abroad for many years. Not only is there no evidence or reason to expect that they would interact with people who are not PRC nationals, they presumably don't have guns and certainly have no actual policing powers either. If these "Chinese police stations" were to dispatch someone to my door, I could just call the actual police to have them removed. Meanwhile, I doubt I could call the "Chinese police stations" to protect me from the police of the country I live in, if they were to act upon a friendly request from the US like the Swedes and British did with Assange or the New Zealanders did with Kim Dotcom.
zero looks insteresting, does it support caching everything that a user might ever need? it says it only store 100MB of cache. But for an 'offline search' feature to work aren't we supposed to cache everything?
Queries span frontend and backend. If a query cannot be resolved entirely on the frontend (due to missing data) it falls back to the backend to get the rest of the results.
The DB is smart enough to understand if a query can be fully or partially resolved client side based on what other queries have already been synced.
browsers limit that storage, what it does is basically offload / re-sync as needed.
can't really work around that, perhaps there could be a mode where if you give your browser FS permissions or something it can make use of more storage.
if you were building an electron app for example you could do this too more easily.
i think one thing to understand is local-first !== local-only. can always use servers for things that make sense.
This comment shows perfectly that people has no clue what they're talking about, these dev dependencies will never be pulled into your project, they're just for typescript's own development.
