gollark: Repetitive content can have really good compression ratios.
gollark: Wayland appears technically superior in some ways and worse in others (no consistent standards for asking compositors to do screenshots or whatever, and all window managers reinventing compositor bits), but also support is quite bad.
gollark: Oh yes, some distros ship it with that.
gollark: nginx mostly just uses one.
