Hi everyone, from on a plane :O the latency is insane.

sjorge: is it at least the same in both directions?

remembering the joys of australians with satellite/dialup pairs, and also EFnet when things desynched

Yeah the latency seems consistant

64 bytes from <snip>: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=922.545 ms

SSH works, ZNC works fine,... discord, mattermost, ... do not like this at all

that's not that surprising

the greatest sin of all of these is not admitting when they're (probably) out of date

every IRC client in the world had the lag indicator

a fun one i encountered a few months ago was teams for some reason decided to not send messages, but only in one specific channel

My guess is anything that was around during dialup days works fine-ish

sjorge: right and I accept the internet is way better now -- unless you're on a plane, a farm, lower wacker, ...

this is probably where I start shouting at clouds, but trying to shove anything and everything through http[s] probably is also less than optimal from a functionality perspective

Oh yeah modern internet bandwidth allows for so much nice stuff, although sometimes less is probably better imho.

no reason teams client should need around 4-5G of memory on a bad day and around 2 on a good one.

does anyone know of a database of character set info that can be searched?

i give a bit string, i get a character that it might represent

everything I know of is statistical, and I don't have enough weird characters for that
