you have my sympathies

by geraldhh 3y ago
sure. see my other comment regarding SQM/QOS. this can be fixed
424.
by geraldhh 3y ago
uh that does not sound like a feature ;)

by geraldhh 3y ago
fair use :) thou it suggests to me that you might want to investigate your i/o scheduling arrangements

ah, sure thing! you want some kind of managed buffer (aqm/sqm/qos) in your bottleneck router. openwrt or any linux can do it as the needed parts (fq_codel or cake qdisc) are in upstream for some years now and wrappers like firewal

interesting take otoh it can be said that gpu's just look like they improved longer than cpu's because their workload is vastly more susceptible to parallelism.

i'd assume that wheelchair visitors are usually <1% and hence argue that it's not overly relevant for the decision.

the idea seems useful to reduce workload for coders and managers (less debugging, hacking, decision making...). google pushing web standards surely is a double edged sword and putting some limit on feature-fomo should probably not remain a

yea, 480p is ok for phones. 720p brings a noticeable improvement for watching on something 40"+ (tv). going further to 1080p is only a marginal improvement over 720p so i usually "keep it simple/small"
