  • So, in its current form, lemmy sends federation packets in serial form. It can send them to multiple instances in parallel, but the feed between any two given instances is serial.

    And serial means that the second packet doesn’t get sent until the first packet has been processed. Add in geographic latency, which is relevant at multiple steps of resolving any given AP packet, which adds to the per packet processing time, and now, lemmy.world is producing packets faster than it’s possible for a geographically remote instance to process them, no matter what hardware they’re running on.

    The problem would be resolved with parallel sending, but that’s not currently a thing that lemmy allows for, and apparently, is not trivial to implement either.










  • It’s a computational mode in the camera. It takes an initial photo, and then a series of photos of equal length, and composites any new light on the subsequent photos on the first. In this case, from memory, it’s 5 photos at one second exposure each.

    Basically, it lets you do a long exposure, without blowing out static light sources.

    There’s a slight post processing change to the colour, to bring out the orange/teal effect, but it’s pretty subtle

    Edit - FYI, your reply was tagged as German, which means that non german speakering lemmy users probably won’t see it, because most instances hide replies of languages the user doesn’t speak
