    Maybe in a few hours. That's the only mystery, but you will be given some time to prepare for it.

    Oooooo. How I will be prepared?

    BTW @DeusVult who's on your pfp?

    Uhtred from The Last Kingdom. It's a pretty good show. Recommend it.

    Thanks adding to my to watch list.

    You will not regret! What's your favorite tv show btw?

    In recent times, saw many. So difficult to choose one. Here are some though - Banshee, The Boys, Sons of Anarchy, etc.

    I watch a lot of Star Trek :)

    Never been into house scifi movies. Wanna try them in 2025.

    Cool!

    Can you recommend some good ones?

    The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

    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).

    Oh I see. The crawler coded in Node as well?

    Yes 😅

    I love NodeJS 😎

    He should try rust :)

    What about golang?

    I haven’t dabbled much with golang.
    Mostly just NodeJS and Ruby.

    or if you have an idle vm in your inventory you can always use imgproxy :wink:

    is this your commercial project ?

    nope it's an open source project, i used for quite some time :smile:

    Youa re gonna open source it?

    mine is entirely different, it's meant for shopify and likes a plugin :smile:

    Oooo you do sales?

    have a store with shopify, we recently started and i am constantly looking for ideas on tees and hoodies :smile:

    make some LET themed swag and throw it up there :)

    I’d honestly purchase some LET merch.

    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

    Well over 100 petabytes (!!!)

    I'd like to have that kind of storage in my home :)

    I’d like to have a data center in my home.

    Now I'm learning latin and well... It's hard

    jumping the gun are we aye? i only heard like 1-2 people daring to go for latin :joy:

    Hahahahaha yeah it's pretty hard brother. But I love the middle ages, rome and I'm Roman Catholic, so it's perfect for me

    ITs got a lot of history too which is why i think its fascinating, just way too much of a time commitment for me! But good job taking that leap!

    Thank you 😊!!!
    Any language you would like to learn?

    I was interested in French, Latin, Polish, Italian, amongst some others. I would love to be able to speak many languages so when i travel i can blend in a little better

    I would like to learn french and polish as well. Italian is similar to Portuguese so I think it would be easier to learn as well

    Spanish is very beneficial.

    that one is a blast from the past, soon we'll all have implants that translate on the fly.. maybe in that case it wont be nessecary to learn languages
