Народ, тут это... #РегВыр намечается.

Извините, что сегодня без мемов про темы для регулярок и без мемного подгона. Вашего покорного слугу (и его инстанс) сегодня немножечко штормит. Однако он обязательно подоспеет к сроку. А какой срок? 21 по МСК, на старом добром XXIV Production.

Регулярные Выражения: xxivproduction.video/w/9fegf4q
-----
Напоминаю: саундчек в 20:30 по МСК.

On a more serious note - the only languages that you can confuse with Russian are Ukrainian and Belorussian, others are too different to be confused because of word construction and sentence construction.

@ZySoua письменный болгарский так-то совпадает по алфавиту с русским, так что нешарящие легко спутают

Между прочим, сегодня вечером будет выпуск Регулярных Выражений.

Кто пойдет? Что принесете с собой?

Внимание!
Новый вид мошенничества.
Злоумышленники под видом плоскогубцев продают гражданам пассатижи.

И 90% граждан не замечают подвоха.

@ashed Какое безобразие! Страшнее только бокорезы под видом кусачек 🤣

А я вчера с @n0icz на канатной дороге катался.

People are currently dunking on this post that complains about Mastodon link previews DDoSing their servers - and they deserve every bit of it.

Pulling up this site in a browser with no privacy/sanity plugins installed, it made a total of 3740 requests within 4 minutes, which amounted to 267.22 MB transferred. It has ads left, right, bottom and center, and it has one of those annoying autoplaying videos, which ALSO has a video ad in front of it. The website would not scroll even close to fluently, and I'm doing this on a 24-core M2 Ultra Mac Studio with 128 GB RAM. I had to use the `debugger` command in the JS console in order to make the network panel in dev tools stop lagging.

In addition, they quote someone complaining about 114.7 MB being requested from their server over the span of 5 minutes. Not only is that less than half as much as you make a single user download if they don't actively cut into your bloatware crap, it also amounts to a whopping 3.06 Mbit/s that you're complaining about. THREE MEGABITS PER SECOND!

Your website is an insult to the internet.

@siguza Just checked and … having the site open alone causes more requests than what I like to call the Fedi-Hammer on my little site (which I notice in my request statistics, but not on server resources) …

For context: A typical load of my site is 100KB with a cold cache and the html is 10 to 20KB … including a decorative banner image.

Also if one has a >1MB preview image >1000px wide … apology denied.

@siguza That's not to mention it's loaded with broken scripts that are causing 400s and 403s loading external resources, at least one redirect loop, and so much more. They seem to have at least four ad exchange providers *just from the ones erroring out*. Some Google ad thing is going absolutely nuts.

This really is an unusable abomination. They should be ashamed of it. Even if they had or have a legit problem with thundering herds (which they can solve), there's no excuse for what they are.

@siguza Wait I thought those 114 MB of traffic they talked about was the total mastodon OG image network traffic sent to all mastodon instances. They send 114MB PER REQUEST???? And these guys send 267MB for each page load???

Am I understanding this correctly?

so I just realized I did a sizable project and never posted about it publically

last year I spent a few months on and off reverse engineering Pinball Fantasies (a 1992 video game; originally for Amiga, though I was reversing the more polished DOS port) with the intent of doing a game engine recreation, and then rewrote the logic as a Rust program

you can grab the result here: https://github.com/wanda-phi/pfr/ ; if you're interested in the internals of a 1992 DOS game written by demoscene people, I wrote down some (rather incomplete) notes here: https://github.com/wanda-phi/pfr/blob/main/TECH.md

I'd also like to thank @domi for porting this thing to browser environment with WASM, and hosting the result: https://pfr.sakamoto.pl/

enjoy!
