Yes, but suppose I'm on a 200 bytes per second long distance radio link. One average UTF8 encoded page would perhaps take 10 seconds to load. With zstd or brotli compression it would take half the time.
For ultra low power computing (for solar power) with zstd or brotli decompression support in a gemini client it would for example be doable on a raspberry pico running fuzix driving an e-ink display with keyboard.

- efitz 5y agoThis is a legit scenario. Many sailors use SSB [1] for data access and have ultra low bandwidth. [1] https://www.practical-sailor.com/marine-electronics/a-second-look-at-marine-ssb https://www.practical-sailor.com/marine-electronics/a-second...
