To do: look into `fseek()`? My guess is we don’t need it; we `fopen()` a remote stream, forward a range header (whatever the browser sends us), and directly output, using `fpassthru()`, whichever resulting bytes we’re being sent by the upstream server—i.e., they’re doing the “seeking” for us. Also “Content-Length” and so on, we’re merely passing on. May wanna prevent a time-out, tho.

Allowing a 206 HTTP status and Accept-Ranges header (and passing thru Range request headers) seems to have done the trick. A next step would be `preload="none"` (rather than `metadata`) on `video` elements, and a (possibly autogenerated) poster image.

New feed reader challenge: have the proxy properly “stream” video files. PHP’s `fpassthru()` isn’t enough, it seems, tho it could be a Laravel thingy, too.

Anyone looking to add Fediverse (Mastodon, Pixelfed, et al.) icons to Twenty Twenty-One’s footer menu, the theme comes with two filter hooks that make this sort of thing really easy. https://github.com/janboddez/add-fediverse-icons-to-jetpack/issues/4#issuecomment-885560883

@wouter I also know what it’s like to try and renovate a very old house so perhaps not

@wouter Do it! Friend of mine recently started as a sourdough baker and sources all flour locally

@ConnyDuck Oh, interesting. Just noticed it now crashes when I scroll down far enough, so maybe the “bad” notification just got pushed down the list as newer ones appeared.

@ConnyDuck ...And now it just works. 🙃

Like, I could probably get things working with a keyboard shortcut and a WordPress hack or two.

Totally using my feed reader as a read-it-later app and it’s awesome. On mobile. I need a proper desktop/in-browser Micropub client.

There’s a single site my feed reader can no longer handle, and I think it’s IPv6-related and that I might be able to work around it.

@ConnyDuck Yep. I’m on “15.1-15c43f99,” apparently, not sure if it matters much. Happens only when I pull down to refresh, not when the tab is first loaded. Other tabs (Home, “hashtag,” etc.) all good.

#Tusky crashes when I refresh the notification tab. (Tusky Test, too.)

@fribbledom A Microsub reader. It's live, still, but I haven't exactly promoted, or worked on, it in like a hundred years. Have since started working on an "RSS" reader, privately as well, which I now use instead and hope to publish one day. Also, all of my drawings and music.

Just shows, once more, how algorithms are lacking.
