bad idea: A tool that takes a JPEG and turns it into a GIF that emulates how slowly it would download at 56k speeds

@foone this is a good idea though.Maybe it can be set up with slower speeds after a classic screeching too

maybe some other video format so you don't have to limit it to 256 colors. MP4 or something. Not APNG. also it should have options for 33.6, 28.8, 14.4, and other lower dial-up speeds

@foone watching progressive JPEGs load in was a great experience and it's too bad we only got to see it a little while before JPEG loads became so fast the loadin stopped being perceptable

@ruby Firefox actually supports artificially throttling your network speed in in the dev tools (as does Chrome) but neither of them provides a preset for 56k. They start at faster more modern "slow" internets, sadly.

@itsthejoker I was thinking how funny it would be to find some 90s softcore porn images, apply this GIFing, then intentionally break the GIFs before the explicit stuff appears. Then post them on places like Tumblr full of Gen-Z people too young to have experienced 56k

and you can optionally make it stop before actually finishing. At either a percentage, number of bytes, or a y-coordinate. You know, just in case you want to emulate the 90s experience of trying to look at porn on dial-up, and the image only partially loads, cutting off before you get to "the good bits"

@foone Animated GIFs aren't limited to 256 colours, just 256 colours per frame, which can build up a picture with more colours

@foone definitely. I think 100 baud would be about right. That’s the dial-up I started with — teletypewriter speed.

@foone need to also capture the moment of doubt when you think did it fail or just pause for a bit?

@foone if you do please implement also the interlaced emulation option. For reasons I recently found myself using some terribly slow internet and I noticed that most jpegs are now non interlaced, making the waiting time even more annoying. I realized I really miss the "here a bunch of colors that at each pass become a less blurry version of the image you want"

@ireneista @foone I like being able to hear the ACK packets in real time at 1200, just as 44net was intended to be used.

@ireneista @foone I'm not quite there yet, but the goal is to see just how far (and how slow) I can punt IP packets through space and time.There's something deeply amusing about the idea of bouncing TCP/IP off the International Space Station fragments of a packet at a time.
