Online video.
I accept that it's necessary to keep the video quality fairly low if you're posting a clip of your band playing, or something like that.
But it costs virtually nothing to have decent (near-CD-quality) audio, and nobody ever bothers!
You wouldn't post a recording of yourself as a 32kbps mp2 file, would you? No. So why not include decent audio tracks with your video, particularly if it's something music-related?
This has been a public service announcement, &c.

The amount of real mail, spam and viruses I've received in the last year or so.
I was expecting an upward trend in the amount of junk, but it hasn't actually changed much...
(I think the drop in August is when I stopped receiving mail for randomaddress@us-lot.org.)
Ah, no, it's when we switched to Exim and started doing sender callout verification. So I'm glad that's working.
azz:
It strikes me that this'd be a useful thing to write at some point.
It'd be interesting to do a terminal emulator in Javascript...
(Well, painful, really, but it'd be useful.)
I'm thinking of something analogous to CGI::IRC here.
David:
What with XML HTTP Request you could probably do this fairly "easily".
What odds are you offering that if you open sourced it and put it up on fm][ that somebody would run it over regular http with no SSL before a week had passed?
azz:
Oh, pretty high, I'd imagine...
It might be useful to do that for a library OPAC system or something, though.
I guess it'd actually be a CGI/JS terminal emulator, rather than specifically an SSH client.
azz:
The first video's very neat.
The second one's hilarious.
azz: I did think it was going a bit slowly...
David: Does "More legitimate use then we were expecting" really qualify as a DDOS attack?
azz: This is debian-curiosa, so he's not being terribly serious.
David: Ahh
azz: Appears to be the full text.
