Hummm, why it's slower to save the image than load the image in devRant?

Because of that, i perfer to take a screenshot to save it....

Internets, mostly.

Sticking with the weekly topic, have we considered getting rid of the dependency on internet?

It may be your internet

I think it's not... it's always true under both Wi-Fi and Cellular Data, I ping'd devrant dot com, 300ms in average...

oh, and, i'm in China mainland, is it related to this?

@juliandroid
I'm surprised they allow this app through the great firewall at all.

I will refrain from posting Winnie the Pooh memes.

Saving images causes the app to watermark it with "found on devrant"

For example.
Sorry first image down the feed.

@C0D4 Got it. Thanks a lot👍

@C0D4 that should most probably be the reason

Also, one would wonder why add a watermark on a picture that is partially lossy ;-)

This is turned out that

When loading the image, it uses (sub domain "image")$rant/$image_path

But when downloading, it uses $rant/download
which means the server has changed the output stream before sending image data...

And as @C0D4 said, it added watermarks to the image.
It can be a long-time process because the source is in JPEG format but the server converted it into PNG format when getting '$rant/download'.

I think the server does a "linear & dynamic coverting" to avoid Disk I/O
May be not the smartest way....

(Thinking about adding the watermarks before uploading?)
