3 days agoI was basing what I said on the http.py file:
while True:
try:
# Download and write
data_block = ctx.data.read(block_size if not is_test else min(block_size, data_len - byte_counter))
except TransportError as err:
retry(err)
byte_counter += len(data_block)
I might still be wrong but that’s how I thought it downloaded any video file over http
Edit. After reading the code a bit more I see that you were correct.
I’m not a fan of mastodon because it really does feel a lot like other social media sites, I don’t really like any form of advertising, whether it’s intentional or unintentional. People post too much bullshit trying to gain followers. I never cared much for twitter/facebook/instagram anyway.
Lemmy however is a better replacement for Reddit, so far. I remember when Reddit was the replacement and now look at it, a big steaming pile of ads and bots, power tripping admin and moderators, killed 3rd party apps that made the site useable. Hopefully lemmy can remain the same as it is now.
