  • A page could load thousands of images and thousands of tiny CSS files.
    None of that is JS, all of that is loads of extra requests.

    Never mind WASM. It’s a portable compiled binary that runs on the browser. Code that in c#, rust, python, whatever.
    So no, JS is not the only way to poorly implement API requests.

    Besides, http/2 has connection reuse. If the IP and the TLS cert authority is the same, additional API/file etc requests will happen over the established TLS connection, reducing the overhead of establishing a secure connection.

    Your dislike is of badly made websites and the prevalence of the browser being a common execution framework, and is wrongly directed at JS.








  • I’m currently reconsidering using a couple mikrotik for some layer 3 hardware offloading.
    Not really homelab, but close.

    I have a project that gets integrated with another network for an event. I’m thinking of using 2x crs504 (cause I’m using mlag for servers, think vrrp or whatever for “public” (it’s all internal) ip) and seeing if I can get l3hw working as a router.
    While I could sit on a subnet of the “host” network, having a gateway that traffic goes through allows me to test and prove everything for my system in my homelab, with just the final integration being a do-in-a-time-crunch problem.
    I’m already using the crs504s for networking (I bought them ages ago, thinking 25gbps was going to be as easy as 10gbps. It’s all running at 10gbps), and this saves having to use something as a router, cuts down on rack space, all sorts of benefits. I think.
    Anyone have any experience with mikrotik l3hw offloading?

    My actual homeland is just a NAS and some networking. It’s a small flat, it’s just me. Not complicated, no need to give me more headaches!




  • The API and pricing bullshit would have had 0 impact to people that (somehow manage to) us the Reddit app.
    It affected power users, mods and technically proficient people.

    If communities have agreed to take a stance against musk/twitter/Nazis and Reddit overruled that, then I imagine an exodus of people that the API debacle didn’t affect.

    But I don’t imagine it will be huge. Luckily, it will likely be decent people. So Reddit will slip more into a cesspool. And maybe more people will leave




  • If the live engineer is crappy and causes feedback or echo (like on the brink of feedback) that goes straight to records. There is no way to fix it in post (well, no decent way, and takes ages to dial in something mostly acceptable ).
    If it’s a “feel of being live” that’s required in post, most lavs are omni so will pick up a bunch of atmo noise. It will likely feel live by virtue of being live. I imagine they have some mics on the camera as well for atmo.

    Maybe the records aren’t set up for a feed from the sound desk. Maybe the sound desk isn’t able to provide a clean feed.
    The lav mic is probably wireless, with the receiver direct into a camera. They don’t have any gain-before-feedback physics to contend with, so they can gain it however they want.
    And if they are doing any spots not in front of the mic on stage (or a mic through the sound desk), they will need a mic anyway. If they always use the same mic, then the sound will be consistent.

    Better to have an independent feed.

    But who cares, the guy is a piece of shit. Any videos he’s gonna put out are not for the benefit of humanity







  • Is that http2? Cause http2 allows for reuse of a connection for additional requests.

    This caught me out with envoy reverse proxy doing a few subdomains using a wildcard cert.
    The browser would reuse the connection cause the cert authority and IP was the same, but envoy couldn’t figure out how to route the request correctly. Absolute head scratcher!
