@trickory Do you have experience with studying at a "Fachhochschule". Is it really that much practical oriented because to me it appeared as just a slightly different type of university?
-
@coolq @ElCapitan yes because most of the included files are libraries like bootstrap or jquery loaded from CDN's and the small number of self hosted static files have a cache and expire time of 1 week and will be hosted by s3 in the near future with the same cache settings.
-
@coolq compression of images is planned to be placed at the upload mechanism with some jpg/png image compression libraries and lossy for gifs.
I'm personally not a big fan of inline css because I think the small speed improvement is not worth the lost separation of html and css.
The process of prefetching/preloading ist not quite obvious to me. Will look it up soon.
The site does not really have options to use vector images because it either uses css/fonts like font awesome or really detailed images and user generated images.
I'd prefer to stay serverless for now because in this early stage I don't want to deal with setting up a vps,scaling,.. and the price point.
@ElCapitan and I are both student's so we don't want to have monthly costs.
And availability zones in different areas are probably overkill as long as we don't get many users from outside central europe or at all. -
@coolq thanks. Your experience on loading time is quite interesting because that's currently still a problem as google page insights rates the site speed to only about 60/100.
We still have to learn how to optimize our infrastructure as we are quite new to hosting a website serverlessly with aws lambda,s3 and so on.
Mainly the still lacking optimization of image size and the confusingly high response times of our lambda function of 2 seconds are probably hard to improve. -
@coolq I'm the mentioned friend and I moved our css and js imports back into the head and changed the disappearing of the loader to trigger on a jquery on load event. Although this might now prevents the site from displaying anything while any resource can not be loaded (have to test), the spinner works for now.
Although I now used jquery events instead of your proposal i'm also very thankful for your feedback and tipps. -

@Huuugo I in fact use adblock origin and also a pihole adblock dns but the ads on this site seem to not be blocked by any of the lists I have activated.
-
Bootstrap alert/warning cards are pretty good.
-
@mossesandberg A friend of mine orgsnizes all his apps on ios after color in folders named after a different color. he's kind of a strange dude

Download on second pc and transfer installer via usb drive

Ads are getting smarter :D

@codepoet Thats cute. Penta boot with windows, zorin, Linux mint, kali and the hardest of all Mac OS on this Lenovo Y580

@crafter in English it's projector, strangely enough it's only beamer Germany

Maybe this will help:

@aronmik that's very interesting I also did not know Pi's could be so helpful for big scale industrial projects.
And for your case it could be interesting to change the governors. Maybe you check the governor and see which they are on.
(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor)
So the best for low usage cases would probably be the power efficient "powersave" and for everything else including the calculations you mentioned "ondemand" should be perfect.
If you choose ondemand you could also make a quick test to see if the clock speed goes up while under heavy load (I only recommend this because I had some problems with it in the past where ondemand did not clock it up while providing an openvpn server f.e.) -
@aronmik depends. Some versions of the kernel are built with the powersave governor where the clock speed stays at minimum all the time. But you can change it to ondemand or performance to let it stay at the highest clock with this tool.
-
I should probably upgrade readme :D. The Raspberry Pi is based on the arm architecture and has some phone hardware. So theres the possibility if changing the CPU governor which sets the CPU clock speed.
The max clock speed and so on can be set permanently in a config but you have to build a new kernel or set it at every boot to change this governor. -
Has great potential for an open source project I think
-
I just installed Mac OS X on my old notebook (Lenovo Y580) to solve this.
-
@BikerMouse still vulnerable to old or strange people using Internet Explorer
-
@Eariel pretty relatable. I am also reading the same text of boxes everyday and only after reading I'm thinking what I had even expected
-
@drRoss purrfect reaction; even thought of that meme while writing "fabulous"
-
Just some suggestions to make it more interesting/professional.
Instead of the arduino IDE look for platform.io which is based on the Atom Editor and there are better arduino compatible boards imo f.e. Arduino minis,micros or the attiny mcu or the ESP8266 for wifi. -
maybe you use a vpn?
i got this problem with my vpn provider -
@deadpool88 already exists sorry
-
I mostly used it for sftp so I just switched to win-sshfs
-
@lquessenberry After reading some chunks of the text (don't have much time atm) your way to use a Raspberry Pi seems more practical. probably overkill considering it's capabilities but probably easier to achieve when you want to send things like Emails.
esp8266 mostly support pretty primitive http, or udp packet communication and the Pi can be live programmed and doesn't have to be reflashed all the time. -
@lquessenberry for Raspberrypi Pis consider using 16x2 lcd screens, they are cheap and relatively easy to program.
The esp8266 of course only suports wifi and I would use a wemos d1 mini devBoard of it with the Oled shield -
@lquessenberry you can ask me if you have questions about usage of esp8266s. although I'm not a Software engineer I'm fairly experienced with esp8266 arduino standalone usage.
