Introducing Slowww.ml – the slow web server

[erikjonker@mastodon.social]

@Edent a not safe certificate, it could also be something in my infrastructure, currently at work

[michal@toot.kottman.xyz]

@Edent Oh wow, even `view-source:...` loads one character at a time! Nice!

Morning, Terence.

I got slow-scrolling text containing lots of HTML tags. I tried to scroll back to screenshot it for you, but the page kept scrolling back to a point near (but not at) the bottom. The only image that loaded was the orange SVG one. At the point where you tried to play a sound clip, the connection was reset.

@CppGuy task failed successfully!

[torstein@mastodon.social]

@Edent works for me

[datatrash@mastodon.social]

@Edent
Worked for me.
Impressive!

Some very, very mild criticism, if you can even call it that:
I'm on mobile rn and tried to scroll back to the jpg to see when it loads.
That was not possible because every letter demanded focus as it appeared.

@Edent

This is remarkable. The only 'failure' was that the WebP image didn't display on Firefox mobile on Android.

131.0.3 (Build #2016050031), hg-e69783530d6d+
GV: 131.0.3-20241011205646
AS: 131.0

Now do 110 baudot and we can do Telegraph simulation of circa 1870. How 5 bits get into 7 bits is an exercise for the reader.

@Edent works fine on Chrome in iOS. Didn’t have time to wait for *all* of it but I see no reason why the rest would not have worked.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@cazmockett your laziness is appreciated!

[edent@mastodon.social]

@datatrash thanks! Once the page has finished, you should be able to scroll back up.

[datatrash@mastodon.social]

@Edent Site load completed. No jpgs for me.

But the polyphony on that last audio button is nice.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@datatrash ta!

[riaschissl@sigmoid.social]

@Edent yes, it loaded correctly on my Fennec browser, watched it load and work its way till the very end.

Very informative and very nicely done!

[edent@mastodon.social]

@riaschissl cheers!

[imprinted@mastodon.uno]

@Edent
It works for me. There is a typo in JPEG compression.
Very slow.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@Imprinted pull requests welcome

[dusoft@fosstodon.org]

@Edent Sure it does... slow. Also:

[edent@mastodon.social]

@dusoft yup, deliberately so.

[ctd@mastodon.social]

@Edent nothing after 45 seconds on Safari on MacOS. After a minute some characters appeared. Like days of old
