[05:34] *** mjp___ has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [05:43] *** mjp_ has joined #arpnetworks [17:06] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [17:08] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [21:19] ohhh new website [21:20] cables and servers! must be srs business [21:24] testimonials too [21:28] And those are really ARP's cables and servers, no less. Not just crappy stockphotos. [22:29] they're very high quality pictures [22:29] i'm thinking the image quality should probably be dropped a little, but i'm not sure by how much. [22:29] it's fast for me - but the main page is 4.5MB big. [22:30] i kind of wish users could decide on image quality more. [22:31] like that's probably find on 20 megabit+ internet, but probably a bit too sow on 10 megabit and lower [22:31] and i suuspect with the "asia optimized routes" that there are some asia users. [22:34] but at least the page doesn't pause while loading the big images. [22:38] wow apparently the biggest storm on erath is happening atm [22:39] oh maybe that means at the moment rather than history :) [22:40] i wonder what it'd be like if it was closer. [23:00] Typically "smart" sites will pick an image based on the user's resolution. (eg. Apple has shown off their retina displays on their website) [23:00] hmm [23:01] resolution isn't really a good test though [23:01] Not for bandwidth, no [23:01] like 1080p and 4k both want good quality images if you have plenty of bandwidth [23:01] the web site looks relaly nice in 4k :) [23:01] but like you can have 4k with low bandwidth too [23:02] so yeah some kind of general quality setting would be nice [23:02] so like when using 3g youu may set it to low [23:02] and with fast net you set to high and normal users set to medium [23:04] although it's a bit hard to test - as it's initial page that can be slower [23:05] It would probably simpler to lookup the IP and determine whether the connection is 3g, dsl, etc. [23:08] that wouuld't work very well in asia, and with quite a few providers that don't show connection type in reverse lookup. [23:09] i wonder if any cdn's do anything automatica. [23:10] as they could map users connection speeds through repeated access i imagine. [23:10] mercutio: it may not be in the rDNS but I suspect the ISPs sell that data to geoip databases [23:10] ahh ok [23:11] still i'd prefer a browser setting [23:11] there is actuually a quality setting [23:11] That's what she said!! [23:11] you just can't set it [23:11] (geoip databases have much more than just location. and ISPs like making extra money) [23:11] https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-connection-type-database [23:11] ahh [23:11] Precisely [23:12] still it's expensive [23:12] For individuals, definitely. [23:13] I wonder if any shared hosting providers buy a site license for their customers [23:23] fever isn't cutting it for me anymore. Whats the go to web based rss reader folks use these days? (I still miss Google Reader) [23:34] rss2email for me
