@onfy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio yeah i remember exa posting about getting tired of mastodon's terrible transcode quality lmao

@onfy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio mastodon transcodes all media uploads with ffmpeg unconditionally

@onfy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio two instances of ffmpeg at the same time used up well over 1GB of ram and consumed all the RAM the server had remaining

@onfy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio caleb and i nearly took down the server by both trying to upload this video to GlitchCat at the same time lmao

needlessly purrovocative 

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio they recommend deno but you can use node instead :3

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio secretly it was solving js-based challenges in hacky python the whole time but it's moved that out to a library that invokes any of a couple js runtimes because the devs got frustrated with dealing with that part of their codebase

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ we need to teach :bumby_head::bumby_tail: how to rsync a file to a directory on his VPS that apache serves statically

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio wonder if you need to update yt-dlp? maybe youtube kids fucks up downloaders?

@vaporeon_ @onfy @IntrepidVector bad choice of words. i meant you dock it into something that makes it act sort of like a desktop

@wallhackio and i nearly accidentally destroyed GlitchCat because apparently running two instances of ffmpeg at the same time is enough to use up all the remaining cpu and memory on this goddamn VPS

i jest; i feel like doing the equivalent of document.getElementById(id).replaceWith(...nodes) in racket on an X-expurression shouldn’t be that hard

Show thread

racket doesn’t seem to have a DOM-like library so manipulating an HTML file would require (gasp! god furbid!!!) a little bit of library code on my part

@vaporeon_ @onfy @IntrepidVector there is a non-zero amount of effurt being put into making viable desktop replacements out of mobile phone and tablet hardware
