> This is possible with port forwarding. But that's a niche set of peers, who have the power to configure port forwarding on a NAT proxy.

yes it's niche but I guess this means BitTorrent isn't as P2P in practice as one wants it to be, but held up by seedboxes.

I was mildly intrigued when github.dev launched and I could just open vscode in my browser. best of both worlds in a sense, just not very well integrated into each other.

People are using React outside of SPAs just because they're already used to it, and because it's got a rich ecosystem of reusable components.

I don't know how to implement setShowTooltip in vanilla js and webcomponents. It is probably really ugly. But also, making your web components work with progressive enhancement does not necessarily mean you have to get rid of React. You can still use React to define a custom HTML element, and combine the state management of React with the progressive enhancement of web components.

if you don't do it for accessibility, do it for SEO. yeah a lot of commenters here already pointed out that SSR is a thing now, but the concerns you had still apply then. There's two paths to test now, one with JS and one without. This kind of always was the case though.

"I will forever argue that [...]" -- Why are you forever arguing?

"I feel like I am alone with [...]" -- No, I read it every day on here.

No, that's just not how it works most of the time with ÖBB, not even in Nightjet. I walk in and the ticket inspection happens later. Yes there's staff outside with NJ to sort you in, but you can walk around them. At no point are they a real bottleneck.

compartments can be locked, locking up the entire train and having the entire boarding process be bottlenecked on ticket inspectors seems highly impractical
