I can't believe I'm watching Youtube completely fluidly on this 2010 thinkpad running #OpenBSD. I mean, of course, it's 720p, and it's using mpv streaming via yt-dlp, not the bloated hellsite youtube dot com, but STILL. P.S. Tried youtube dot com, just out of curiosity. Set it to 720p, and after the initial thrashing once I hit full screen, it was dropping about one out of every four frames, with the CPUs nearing 100% utilization. In contrast, with mpv, 50% CPUs utilization (core 2 duo), 0 dropped frames. And that's with streaming the video from youtube with yt-dlp, not pre-downloading it.
Hey #AskFedi #HiveMind, I use [Zathura] as my #PDF and #EPUB reader, and it's one of my favorite programs because it's fairly lightweight, and is completely controllable from the keyboard, like less or vi, but a GUI. My only gripe (and it's a small gripe) is that it doesn't have any provision for adjusting the font size on EPUBs, most likely because it is using the mupdf library to render the EPUB into something it can work with (PS, PDF, or some other vector form, or possibly just calling the library to have it schlep it a bitmap, I don't know how it works under the hood). Is there a less-style keyboard-oriented epub viewer? I know there are some really good epub viewers out there, but they're not super keyboard friendly like #Zathura is. Just curious. I'm still happy to continue using Zathura to view my EPUBs. It's a really great little program.
