    Hello Sara. How are you doing?

    Quite fine given circumstances. Caught a flu. Alcohol yesterday mostly took care of it.... Slow Sunday...

    Hope you get better!

    Customer projects.. Simple solution that works..

    My vps is basically idle at the moment.

    The only VPS you have?

    Yes

    Waiting for a good project to make good use of the VPS?

    Yeah. I just don't know what to code.
    My wayback machine project is fun, but if i would actually deploy it, it would require a lot of storage. And i primarily make it to learn more about web crawling and puppeteer.

    Oh that's cool. Yah, wayback machine would require a hell lot of storage.

    Well one thing that is different than the WA, is that i only save full-page screenshots instead of the whole page with all the assets.

    Oh so a waybackscreenshots. Sounds coolm.in that case you could compress the images using various tools. Infact, @TrK is working on a commercial image optimisation CDN that might be of help for your project

    Yeah average image size is currently around 25-100 kb. Small pages are around 25-50 kb, while large pages can easily reach 300 kb.

    You can bring them down a bit more.

    How? I am currently using the avif image format.

    I am not sure right now. But, I did work on this a few years ago. BTW, how are you compressing currently?

    First, the page screenshot is using png, then i compress to webp and then i compress that webp image to avif, but this only saves like 5-30 kb at the moment. Also the avif compression takes like 30 seconds.
    I am using the nodejs sharp library. I will send my code soon.

    That's quite impressive. Just to test though, try running the original image through tinypng.com and see if you are already able to get it a lower size than your final compressed image, if you haven't already. Just to confirm.

    Will try that. Don't have my laptop with me at the moment.

    Sure, let me know when you have. I am interested in this as well

    Oh by the way, the crawler already has added 800k urls in the db. About 5 of them are actually screenshotted (as that part is still work in progress).

    Wow!!!that's a lot bro

    Wayback. That's expected.

    True

    Do they disclose how much storage space they actually use? They have to be one of the largest outside of search engines i would imagine

    I once read an article about that, but i can't find it at the moment

    deus mentioned an amount but not sure if that was just another guess. It probably grows daily as well which is nuts

    It's on their wikipedia:
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayback_Machine#:~:text=Launched on May 10, 1996,over 100 petabytes of data.

    Lots of pages.. dont' want to go back now. Whats the topic currently? :D

    Img compression best methods. @BasToTheMax wants to know

    TrK knows better. He is building one optimization service.

    Yah pointed him to TrK, but he himself recommended imgproxy

    Thats also a good option. 👍

    Better than coding one and relying on something like CDN with custom endpoints and cache crawlers, just setup a docker host proxy with CF you get instant image optimization service up and running in minutes :smile:

    Differeance between a developer and an entreprenuer.. ;)

    and ofcourse between a free and busy guy :joy:

    And personal project vs customer project. :D

    always good to pass the blame to another company if someone goes wrong for those professional projects ;)

    Yup, It always works. ;)

    even faster than the RN flash sales? Those were gone instantly. I got one from RN which as i later found out is a really really hard thing to do
