Wie kann man denn denken, „er” sei fertig, während man noch ’ne Nadel im Arm stecken hat?

So you might need to try different file extensions.

No, you don’t. The HTTP response header will tell you what type it is.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. You need to know the name of the file before you can download it.

For instance, my lemmy client, says in its HTML that its favicon is <link id="favicon" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/9c6eeb58-bf66-4a15-9537-0a822f3c4feb.png">. If I were to blindly download /favicon.ico, I’d naturally get a 404 page:

$ curl https://sopuli.xyz/favicon.ico -i
HTTP/2 404 
# more data

Didn’t think of that. Thanks for clarifying.

TCP ACK packages are tiny compared to the payload. I’m not sure this is really your issue.

Edit: To prove the point, this is me downloading a large file. The download to upload ratio is about 40:1.

Why would you need a big upload capacity for streaming?

I believe every internet connection in the world is asymmetric. Most people download way more than they upload.

Guitars are very hard to play for kids because the strings are so thin that they hurt after very few minutes.

That’s a better reason.

Why not have a fun joke and some education?

If you’re wondering, Why recorders? — there are three reasons:

• They’re portable.
• Recorders in decent enough quality can be cheaply produced, so even low-income children get to play one. Compare that with a guitar where 30$ gets you a piece of wood that detunes as soon as you lay eyes on it. Not great for practicing.
• Recorders have an easily memorizable fingering scheme that allows you to quickly pick up the C Major scale. Compare this with a guitar where you need to remember for each string individually which frets have the notes of the scale.

Now that its 10 years since I last set foot in a school, I hold three opinions about the public school system (in Germany; check yourself what applies to your country):

1. Schools are an institution where adolescents are detained during the day, so their parent(s) can work and not worry about their children setting fire to the city.
2. A lot of the curriculum doesn’t prepare you for life. And it’s not meant to. Instead it forces you to engage with a topic for a longish period of time without the possibility to quit. That is supposed to allow you to see if you find the problems that topic poses interesting and if you like finding solutions for these problems.
3. Schools should put more emphasis on life skills.

… which is why I’ve become opposed to the notion of ‘spoiling your kid’ by giving them the things they want. There are only so many years you can buy true happiness for as cheap as a cone of ice cream. Why not do it while it’s possible?

That might be what he meant, but it’s not what the captions say.
