#latency

@shoppingtonz @alternativeto @torproject also every #Tunneling - regardless if #SSH or #VPN or whatever - will inevitably introduce #latency (unless you happen to be customer of a shitty #ISP with horrible #peering and thus can cut down on hops needed, which is AFAIK only a theoretical scenario)...

In fact I stopped using #HEnet #Tunnelbroker and #IPv6-#GIF-Tunneling because it created more issued than it solved on my #IPv4only #Internet connection…

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.

“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 […].”

@snep espechally on mobile!

OFC it won't make shit go faster, but more reliable.

  • #latency is shit on all mobile networks that ain't straight-up #IP-based like #WiFi, Tor doesn't add that much to it...

In fact, Tor makes #throttled connections bearable for me for >15 years, as even back in 2008 one couldn't just get "unlimited data", espechally not as an individual (school child) without income or wealth!

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.
