@mint@sjw@pyrate@graf@Moon@threat That's a benefit. When we can get disks to spin at 0.95c, we'll be able to send the data into the future, making it arrive exactly at the time you need to retrieve it.
@mint@sjw@pyrate@graf@Moon@threat Accurate. It is probably worth noting that sequential read optimizations are the reason that NVMe disks are long, but also why data is prone to falling out of them.
@Moon@graf@sjw lighttpd still works, is still fast. (It's also not probably still what Youtube uses, but they probably use a fork of it anyway and it handled Youtube when it was on the way up and long after the Google acquisition.) I run it in a lot of places because nginx, in addition to not supporting CGI (which I need for stuff sometimes), nginx has a really rude config file, and one of lighttpd's early selling points was "The configuration file format is not like Apache's". <Location></Location>, motherfuckers!

If you know how nginx works, you can pick up lighttpd in fifteen minutes. Precedence is easier to read, you don't have so many rules about what block something has to be in (so if you want "/robots.txt" to always point to the same file for every vhost, you can just put that at the top), you don't have to size hash tables manually. Just a little nicer overall.

Yes.

That part I don't know, because I don't know how Minecraft works. If Minecraft uses HTTP for that, then yes. I do know that LetsEncrypt tooling kinda hates lighttpd for some reason.
