turned out anubis was taking so long not because of my hardware but because webcrypto in firefox is SLOW AS FUCK @xeiaso.net please move away from webcrypto to some wasm-based hashing 🙏🙏🙏 - ThreadSky

ok this apparently is a known issue and xe has moved to purejs hashing like 12 hours ago lol
what a timing

still wasm would be more based

tei.pet•11 days ago

my sha256 wasm blob based on https://github.com/lekkit/sha256 is literally 2kb which is 2 times less than the lib xe uses so bundle size is def not an issue

it should be 1.6kb gzip anyway idk what impl is being used there

lol why not use a browser that doesn't suck

tei.pet•11 days ago

unfortunately browsers that don't suck lack sidebery
and even if they didn't, chrome has insane paddings for sidebars which makes everything look so damn ugly lol

tei.pet•11 days ago

i saw @wukko.me reducing paddings in sidebars in his fork, but they are still non-zero which is essential for this (and i also can't disable normal tabs)

wukko please add this 🙏
i wanted to contribute but spent 8 hours trying to compile chrome and gave up lol

or like propose to improve firefox rather than adding a hack to anubis yk

tei.pet•11 days ago

anubis is a hack in any case and i will die on that hill

drugu.se•11 days ago

yea but webcrypto is like _the_ right tool for the job, and if firefox sucks at webcrypto, firefox should fix its webcrypto implementation

tei.pet•11 days ago

nah, webcrypto suck anyway at the very least because they are async

webcrypto is literally slower than purejs/wasm sha256 implementations on small sizes purely due to async overhead lol

drugu.se•11 days ago

well maybe then the solution is to add a sync version to the spec eh

drugu.se•11 days ago

like anubis is a hack but anubis' implementation doesn't have to be a hack

mary.my.id•11 days ago

wait slow how

tei.pet•11 days ago

4-5 seconds on lowest diff, up to 30 seconds on higher diffs
