Question for #Vernissage users (and maybe @mczachurski directly), I’m currently in Japan and I’m noticing opening my full-size uploads takes multiple minutes.
I am exporting my pictures to be around 9MB. I know Vernissage doesn’t really “resize” uploads beyond the one used on the home feed. Should I reduce the quality setting? I guess uploading 24Mpix images doesn’t make sense on a social media platform.
@teotwaki My approach is to upload files in 4K resolution (longest edge at 4096px). It’s a good balance between quality and file size. The files are around 4-5MB, which is already quite large for web usage. But taking several minutes to download a 9MB image is still way too long. I’ll check if there’s a way to speed this up, maybe on the Amazon S3 side.
@mczachurski Would it make sense to resize the images on upload, and then serving imagesets so the browser can pick the best resolution?
@teotwaki Of course, that would be great. But the amount of stored data would increase significantly. Right now, a smaller version of the image is generated for timelines, but its size is fixed. Maybe it’s something to revisit in the future.
@mczachurski In my experience, the amount of data would roughly double, but the bandwidth would be divided by 5-10.
Maybe I’ll setup a demo/proof of concept.
