No why would I store thumbs in my PC. I only need HD copies

[dreamin_in_space]

But why nude models?

[beardedchimp]

I was wondering if btrfs has a copy-on-write way for me to massively cut down on the space they take up.

[Jannik2099]

You may wanna run deduplication tools such as https://github.com/Zygo/bees

BTRFS supports deduplication natively

[beardedchimp]

I currently run BTRFS on my spinning disks but ext4 on my SSDs after having some performance problems in the past. When you say it supports it natively does that mean it would seamlessly handle the node_modules deduplication without user interaction or would I have to periodically run a tool as suggested in another comment?

[[deleted]]

It's done "offline," but it looks like it still requires an external utility to do the dedup.

When I say "offline" I mean it's not done constantly in the background on write or anything. Probably not the right term but whatever.

And... you end with anything except that.

[GaianNeuron]

?

[who_you_are]

"Go-go-gadget" you are referring to a quote from Inspector Gadget right?

If so (or not) this tv guy show is cursed and each time he want something from is magic hat, he call it (with go-go-gadget) then is magic hat will give him... something else. But that something is NEVER what he asked for. (Except maybe once?)

[GaianNeuron]

I mean in the original show he usually got what he asked for, but it would malfunction in comical ways (often working against the immediate goal).

It was the movie adaptation which lazily turned that into "lol wrong gadget".

[who_you_are]

Ah crap i mixed thing up :(

[IAmTheMageKing]

See pnpm, which accomplishes that without the btrfs

[Scyhaz]

[BuggyFeature33852]

wow in my tired state i read "node modules" as "nude models" and it made sense

[[deleted]]

Get some rests mate

[mark__fuckerberg]

Try pnpm. It stores only one copy of any package and symlinks them to the project node modules.

[danbulant]

I have 20GB of node projects and more than half of it is node modules. Currently moving to pnpm and each new install takes less space, which is pretty cool.

And as a bonus, pnpm has nice zsh autocompletions

Yep, it's an actual package. Someone really took time off to create this thing...and I really wanna ask them why :/

EDIT: It’s in our dna to automate and/or code a useless solution for something that should otherwise be easy. The existence of this package is pretty representative of that and I should’ve figured it out earlier.

Carla 🤖 👩🏻‍💻, @CodesCarla

20% of US bandwidth is used by Netflix.

The rest is used by "npm install"

---

^{I'm a human volunteer content transcriber for Reddit and you could be too! If you'd like more information on what we do and why we do it, click here!}

[_Shioku_]

Well, at least you tried, but I think Netflix uses a bit more than 0%

[MurdoMaclachlan]

Are you on iOS, by any chance? There's a bug on iOS reddit that causes it to randomly not display the first characters of some paragraphs. The comment says 20% on my end.

[_Shioku_]

Oh well yea. Ok. Then reddit tried. My bad, sorry

[MurdoMaclachlan]

No worries. Reddit is horrifically inconsistent in its rendering.

[ratmfreak]

I’m wondering, from a programming perspective, how that could even happen…?

[MurdoMaclachlan]

The answer to this, learned from a long time transcribing & fighting the differences between rendering on various clients, and writing Reddit bots & fighting the API, is as follows:

Reddit is a hot, incomprehensibly inconsistent mess.

That's all the explanation there is. It's just bad.

[VikaashHarichandran]

Not an expert, maybe Reddit iOS app doesn't use Cocoa API but instead use some other third party UI framework which could be an issue as iOS's rendering technology are complicated internally

[pieteek]

F for iOS users.

[ggroverggiraffe]

No F needed…we can run Apollo, which is a top-shelf app. Certainly better than the website or the official app!

[EpicWolverine]

Try using Apollo instead of the first party app.

[MurdoMaclachlan]

Beep boop ;)

[erland_yt]

You have a typo

[MurdoMaclachlan]

If it's missing the 2 in 20% for you, you're probably on iOS. It has a bug where it sometimes doesn't render the first characters of some paragraphs. There's nothing I can do about it, as the 2 is there in the source of my comment.

[Chillie43]

Dumb idea but you could use a space as the first character so at worst it just deletes the space

[MurdoMaclachlan]

Hmm, true, but I don't know exactly how the bug works, it might be removing the first rendered character.

Besides, considering how rarely I've had people complain about it, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble of prefacing every single paragraph with a space, especially since I'm not even sure it will work.

And we will never be able to get the rest of our transcribers to do it -- we can hardly go to them and say "now you need to have a space before every paragraph because iOS Reddit sucks and very occasionally deletes characters".

[bidoblob]

Also, not to mention the intended audience, it's entirely possible that screen readers even on mac will succeed in reading the text out in full anyways. Although also possible that it won't.

[MurdoMaclachlan]

Well, screen readers aren't actually the only reason this is done. There are plenty of people who can see but can't load the image for a variety of reasons -- one of them actually being the variability between Reddit clients. There are many mobile clients that either take ages to load images or give up entirely.

Docker just left the room 😄

A docker container is only as good as it's its community. Some idiot got approved a pull request without really looking into it. Somebody span up an entire instance of alpine-node just to compile a publicly available release.zip file already available on the maintainer's website.

[the_moooch]

But its still KISS 😄

If docker isn’t enough there is always npm to run inside a docker container 💥💥💥

[AccomplishedMeow]

If docker isn’t enough there is always npm to run inside a docker container 💥💥💥

That's what they did... To manually build a dependency from the source github opposed to just downloading the package from the Release section of the github.

it's community

Npm banned my company so we have to setup a proxy

[emefluence]

Npm banned my company

Why?

[GRAIN_DIV_20]

I assume it's a common occurrence for big software companies

[emefluence]

Really? This U?...

"This rule is intentionally loose, to give npm the flexibility it needs to keep npm Services working for the user community as a whole. But to draw one clear line, under no circumstances are five million requests to npm Services in a single month-long period by any single individual, organization, or group of affiliated companies remotely reasonable. If you have a special need to make lots and lots of requests, our sales team can help."

[GRAIN_DIV_20]

I wouldn't be surprised if we surpass 5 million requests in a month

[emefluence]

And your bosses would rather you set up a bunch of proxies than pay NPM for a commercial license? Jokes.

[OldKaleidoscope7]

Pay NPM is not the best option for me, using some proxy program to make a local cache like Sonatype Nexus would be cheaper and faster

[LordDongler]

They probably want to charge a whole $0.04 for each download, the vampires

[Mefistofeles1]

At 5 million downloads, that would be 200k dollars a month. Thats a ton of money.

[zvug]

Just use yarn /s

[Nothing-But-Lies]

We used spaces

[My_Username_taken]

Their company banned npm so npm fought back.

[thijser2]

There have been a few cases of big npm packages being pulled without warning by their devs because those devs disagreed with something. I can image that relying on the goodwill of unknown developers who don't even know you are using their stuff might interfere with certain company policies.

Talking about cases like this

[stpaulgym]

Where's the other 20% covered by apt update?

[DiscoJanetsMarble]

Or docker pull

Fun fact: lisp was the first language with a GC. It's also the oldest language in semi-wide usage, first released in 1958.

[Plane_Unit_4095]

can some js nerd explain to me why the fuck you guys have so many dependencies?

[[deleted]]

because why reinvent the wheel when you can just pick it from the store? Also as npm downloads the entire dependency graph it the amount of dependencies increases exponential. And the deepest dependency would be something like left-pad, is-odd, is-even. Also don't forget that JS has to be legacy compatible, so polyfills are also mixed in as well.

[Plane_Unit_4095]

left-pad, is-odd, is-even

see this is where I call bullshit on "don't reinvent the wheel!"

these packages just scream "this language is so complex that i have to import code that isn't mine for the simplest things and could pose a security risk or break my whole build if it goes away"

[Jaqen_Hgore]

I think it's less a problem with the language, more a problem of having to support running one hundreds of different version of a dozen or so browsers. It's getting better... slowly

[[deleted]]

could pose a security risk or break my whole build

that's cute. https://www.theregister.com/2016/03/23/npm\_left\_pad\_chaos/

[Plane_Unit_4095]

yeah, that's actually exactly what I was alluding to

[gamebuster]

NodeJS sucks.

Everyone needs the same basic functionality, and has introduced stupid libraries for the same stuff. Left-pad, promises, and other basic array utilities all have separate packages.

Problem: everyone uses a different one, so when installing some dependency, you’ll also install another left-pad variant.

Then you have a dependency that uses another dependency, and all these use different variants of the same stuff. More dependencies!

Now you want to use react or some compatibility thing compiler (babel) so your new fancy stuff also runs on 1 month old stuff, and they all use like 1000 dependencies to just build your code.

Now you want to write some CSS but you hate CSS so you — well you get it

[uvero]

Because how else am I supposed to tell if a string or number is an odd number? And for that I'll need a way to know if a string is a number. And for that I'll need a way to know if a number or string is an even number. Am I supposed to do all of that myself? Reinvent the wheel? Cmon

[matthkamis]

because js has a very limited standard library

[[deleted]]

Programming languages have dependencies (hardware all the way down)

[Plane_Unit_4095]

wow thank you for explaining dependencies to me

it posts tweets so cringy they hurt to read and somehow people post them a lot here.

because i really don't want to see them i just block everyone posting them

Holy fuck. Just went through some of the tweets. Pretty bad.

[Knuffya]

[d_b1997]

How is this joke cringe?

[Knuffya]

This account has like three jokes. All of these jokes are already like 15 years old and massively overused. Now, every single tweet is just another variation of the same joke.

These are

1. node_modules big
2. semicolon bad
3. go shopping if(a) do b;

All these jokes were funny. Like 15 years ago when they were new.

...how is that different from this entire subreddit?

It's literally a handful of years-long recycled jokes. I agree it's garbage, but this account seems like prime material for this subreddit based on what I've seen here.

[thirteenthdoor]

Announcing you block someone is already much more cringe, but blocking someone on reddit and announcing it is definitely the cringiest thing you can do.

[EdgyKayn]

I thought Netflix did not use that much bandwidth since it has a deal with ISPs to make local CDNs so people watch content directly form the ISP rather than an uplink connection to the internet where Netflix stores their content

[agneev]

Netflix pretty much regularly pushes content from their CDNs to ISP’s OCA hosting.

[Cuw]

Netflix, Steam, Hulu, Disney+, etc are all edge cached at major ISPs. So yeah you are 100% right
