@icedquinn so that sounds like the problem is solved, yeah?
At most, an HTTP server has to listen for 16kb to know what to do, right?

@icedquinn I mean, not to be difficult about this, but that is only 2.3 exabytes.
The amount of data we generate and work with everyday, in part because of optimization for developer time, means we might be dealing with sending that kind of data in the next decade or so. (Mostly kidding, but...)
@icedquinn is it limited in how large a size marker can be?
I mean it seems like you could place a reasonable limit, but I imagine that will cause problems at a future time, if for some reason we need size markers that are 10 million bits in size.
@icedquinn I'm wondering how that solves the problem; if you replace the text of an HttP packet when has a problem of needing to read unknown amounts of data, doesn't a blob need to be fully read in to know how long it is?
Isn't there still the same problem of the client or server has to wait for the complete blob before it can stop reading?
@icedquinn how would you improve it? Have the client and server send a bit count first, then the block of data?
@icedquinn well, the 'flexibility' of yeehawing text does allow you to implement a protocol on top of the sending/receiving, perhaps?
@icedquinn sounds good. What does the pre-rendered file look like, and what port do we wanna put it on?
@icedquinn or, do we just want to us HTTP to convey the data?
@icedquinn I had no idea about any of that. I wonder what it would take to create something new that doesn't reinvent wheels.
Dumb question: Why are current web browsers larger than 10mb?
@icedquinn I feel that. My only interest really is the alleged security of it, versus the X model, but I'm not entirely sure how the X model exposes my security.

Yet weirdly, Pro-Biden, at the same time. Those goofy Wayland folks.
@icedquinn yes. That happened. The US employed many Nazi scientists during and after the war.
Not sure what that has to do with unions and pinkertons.
Unions had power at one time. They no longer have power because of Taft-Hartley and the "Red Scare".
@icedquinn fourth reich shit?
Not sure I follow.
The Taft-Hartley act destroyed unions.
@icedquinn repeal the 1947 Taft-Hartley act...
@icedquinn that guy is wild. To imagine that the Chinese or other foreign actors are behind the division within the US.
To imagine that it is not those in power hoping to keep the people divided, so they may retain their power, but instead some 'foreign' threat, some threat we are working to keep people safe from, and not a threat that we are already deeply in bed with.
Went to update the packages on my OpenBSD 7.2 servers, and found the main CDN had dropped 7.2, so I spent about 30 minutes upgrading to 7.4.
Hooray being productive!
@thomasfuchs "You know, like people quote stuff in papers and articles and posts and texts and have been for hundreds or even thousands of years." <- Like this?
Skepticism is kinda the opposite of being gullible, my friend.
Being gullible would be believing whatever someone says, and not being skeptical of it.
@Eris the position I default to is gathering evidence and challenging claims.
If you think that's somehow dumbass, I understand.
