I was trying to work out how I managed to waste so much of my bandwidth allowance in a short time. With a Lemmy profile page loaded, I hit control-r to refresh while looking at the bandwidth meter.
Over 1 meg! wtf. I have images disabled in my browser, so it should only be fetching a small amount of compressed text. For comparison, loading ~25 IRC channels with 200 line buffers is 0.1mb.
So what’s going on? Is Lemmy transferring thumbnails even though images are disabled in the browser config?
Price in 2024: 10¢/mb.
BTW, the planet is cooking in 2024 and some people care about that.
Your consumption of 1MB or 50MB of data does ZERO to prevent the planet cooking.
Being on a plan that charges you $100+/GB is also a ratified case that means you’re on a special internet connection and these issues should be resolved on your end so your whole system benefits from caching and data saving. If you’re on a stupid plan like that because you choose to be, you’re just a troll.
