#latency

Not even bad the latency (this is just about latency, not overall bandwidth which reaches the full 4.9Gbit via 2x 2.5Gbit links).

Taken inside a Debian VM running on a Proxmox node connected to the storage:

GMKTec G9 NAS
2x 2.5Gbit
NFS 4.2 (with pNFS)
2x WD Back SN7100 NVMe
Mirror mode ZFS

While this are already pretty awesome latencies, let's see how it performs with SPDK and NVMe-oF (TCP).

I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?

And the answer is: Yes, actually.

⏱️ 42 ms on X11, compositing off
⏱️ 56 ms on X11, compositing on
⏱️ 64 ms on Wayland
⏱️ 71 ms on Windows 10

Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.

→ Nigerians are building affordable alternatives to AWS and #Google Cloud

“The payments to #AWS gradually skyrocketed as the naira depreciated around 70% against the #dollar between 2020 and 2024”

“Besides the option to pay in #naira, these companies allow #Nigerians to store their #data within the #country — an advantage most of their Western rivals lack. #Local servers give businesses the benefits of low #latency and data #localization […].”

Rest of World · Nigerians are building affordable alternatives to AWS and Google CloudLocal cloud startups offer data sovereignty at a time when the debate about who has access to a country’s data is heating up.

So I got the Anker K20I earbuds. They sound okay, but the latency is almost too much to deal with on Android. And of course, the only codecs they have for HD audio are SBC and AAC, cause Apple, gotta have that AAC. Game mode does nothing that I can tell. But they would be good earbuds for walking around listening to a book.

I don’t know how many people one could convince to watch 55 minutes of a #CovidPSA #PSA but minute 27 section on #HIV #AIDS 1980’s crisis is a good section to point out in explaining #latency #clinicalLatency AND WHY TF PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO PAY ATTENTION

HIV still gets responses🤨😳when I throw it out in casual convo & tbh like @molesen would rather be dealing w/HIV over #ConstantCovid

I’m on an anti Topol rant & am seriously disturbed how they’re trying to conflate #MECFS & #LongCovid under 1☂️but aside from that, an excellent watch & highly informative
