@ErikJonker what certificate error did you see?
Thanks!

[edent@mastodon.social]

@simoncox @mattround
Perfect! Ta.
Looks like it will work for very occasional use.

[erikjonker@mastodon.social]

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

@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.

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!

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