(#74h6s4a) its not remote… though its on a mountain side where the land grants allowed monopolies to occur. Pretty wild that it happened but only specific vendors have utility right of ways. Its been in litigation with the city for years.

(#g6v4kxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, I did not have a portable diskman. Just a stationary radio with an integrated CD player. Or my parent’s stereo. But it’s sooo long ago, I can’t remember how long switching tracks took. Yeah, on second thought, maybe a second. Well, that actually improved then. Finally. Nice. :-) Loading the CD took several seconds, that’s for sure. And some devices were certainly slower than others.

(#g6v4kxq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, that has nothing to do with fun. 😅

I was thinking back to CD players. Switching tracks took a moment, although I don’t know anymore how long exactly. IIRC, playing CDs on a computer was a bit slower than in a dedicated player.

Don’t worry, switching to the next OGG file on my disk is basically instant. 😅

(#g6v4kxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de There’s a big difference between being usable somehow and having fun using it. My tolerable limits are lower, but yeah. Up to five seconds for the “next track”? What music player are you using? :-D This must happen in way under a second, and luckily, this works here. :-) (But I’m also not streaming my music, it’s all on the local disk.)

Oh I forgot again 🤦‍♂️ Last Saturday of the month, so if anyone’s up for a friendly catch up over video tomorrow? Same time, same place 👌

(#g6v4kxq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But stuff is still “mostly usable”, isn’t it? It’s not like it became impossible to write a letter because everything has gotten so slow.

That’s what I meant by “absolute” performance: A human being tolerates a system boot up time of 0.5-2 minutes, for example, so there’s an absolute/fixed duration that any task is allowed to take. Boot: 0.5-2 minutes. Opening Word: 1-10 seconds. Saving an image file: 1-10 seconds. Time until the next song starts to play when you click “next track”: 0-5 seconds. Stuff like that. As long as we don’t exceed those durations, people will be more or less happy.

Wasted potential? Ab-so-fucken-lutely.

(Maybe I’m repeating myself. I’m tired. Sorry. 😅)

Anyway, I’m gonna have to go to bed… We’ll continue this on the weekend. Still trying to hunt down some kind of suspected mult-GB avatar using @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no ’s pod’s cache:

$ (echo "URL Bytes"; sort -n -k 2 -r < avatars.txt | head) | column -t
URL                                                                                                       Bytes

But so far nothing much… Still running the search…

Hmmm 🧐

for url in $(jq -r '.Twters[].avatar' cache.json | sed '/^$/d' | grep -v -E '(twtxt.net|anthony.buc.ci|yarn.stigatle.no|yarn.mills.io)' | sort -u); do echo "$url $(curl -I -s -o /dev/null -w '%header{content-length}' "$url")"; done
...

😅 Let’s see… 🤔

(#g6v4kxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de My issue is, now that we have the chance of getting something fast, people artificially slow it down again. Wether they think it’s cool that they added some slow animation or just lack of knowledge or whatever. The absolute performance does not translate to the relative performance that I observe. Completely wasted potential. :-(

In today’s economy, nobody optimizes something if it can be just called good enough with the next generation hardware. That’s especially the mindset of big coorporations.

Anyway, getting sidetracked from the original post. :-)

(#ug2ndqa) @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Worky, worky now! :-)

Mate, these are some really nice gems! What a stunning landscape. I love it. Holy cow, that wooden church looks really sick. Even though, I’m not a scroll guy and prefer simple, straight designs, I have to say, that the interior craftmanship is something to admire.

(#ve43paq) Just thinking out loud here… With that PR merged (or if you built off that branch), you might hopefully see new errors popup and we might catch this problematic bad feed in the act? Hmmm 🧐
