I'm putting the air-quotes because I still sincerely hope that it was a joke

- swebs 6y agoHeh, it can get worse. >Wiichan it's hosted on a real Wii and it's served throught a shitty Mexican ISP. https://no.wiichan.uwu.mx/ https://no.wiichan.uwu.mx/
- swebs 6y agoAnd photos of the lovely server https://no.wiichan.uwu.mx/meta/res/51.html https://no.wiichan.uwu.mx/meta/res/51.html
- alias_neo 6y agoHow did that load so fast??
- dylz 6y agoThe host backing it is a ramnode vps in NL?
- alias_neo 6y agoOh, my bad, I thought it was hosted on the Wii.
- olabyne 6y agoBecause that seems to be the mirror. The mexican url is https://wiichan.uwu.mx/meta/res/51.html https://wiichan.uwu.mx/meta/res/51.html (proof : https://iplookup.flagfox.net/?ip=201.128.144.213&host=wiichan.uwu.mx https://iplookup.flagfox.net/?ip=201.128.144.213&host=wiicha...) It's really cool tho
- giancarlostoro 6y agoI'm more impressed he got trips, that's pretty amusing about the USB being as fast as an SSD. Technically SSD's are supposed to be based off SD card tech if I'm not mistaken, issue with a USB being based off the same tech is the USB speeds themselves vs a SSD can go significantly faster due to its connector (SATA or otherwise). Although I can see USB C being 'fast enough' instead.
- daneel_w 6y agoSSDs indeed use more or less the same type of flash memory as USB sticks and SD cards, but the fundamental difference lies in how the controllers interface with that memory. While modern high-end USB memory sticks and SD cards are able to keep a sustained single write operation going at pretty high speeds, each write operation must be finalized with an update to the media's block allocation map, which is the point where the media experiences a form of throttling. Consequently this results in multiple small write operations - each of which need the same finalization procedure - bringing the performance of the stick/card to a complete crawl, with even read operations being blocked.
- Hamuko 6y ago>I'm more impressed he got trips There's probably admin tools for that.
- giancarlostoro 6y agoI wondered about this, but sometimes people say it cause the previous post they see is 999 so they post it, sometimes you get lucky as heck haha. I doubt they'd screw with the admin tools just to do it.
- nforest 6y agoOn big boards there's so many posts per hour that it's impossible to really predict this way, it's very much luck. I remember people used to run scripts to be sure to get the big gets (6+ last digits identical) but I suppose such methods don't work anymore with captcha and other anti spam measures.
