The app contacts Github's CDN every 45 seconds. Is there a particular reason / need for this behavior?
Tested on macOS with the following command:
sudo tcpdump -k -i en0 | grep Upscayl
- samstave 4y agoJust an aside as we all get Old Fat and Ugly, its actually a good thing to have such a simple reminder to grep for shit out of your egress just so you stay close to whats happening on the wire. I haven't thought about TCPDUMP in a long time, and I appreciate this man page.
- NayamAmarshe 4y agoIt must be because of the auto-update checker. It's a useful feature that lets us notify users about new versions and also let them download and install without opening the Github repository.
- gonzus 4y agoBut you check for updates every 45 seconds? Why?
- NayamAmarshe 4y agoIt's the electron-builder that's doing it, must be its default configuration. I'll see if I can fix the continuous checks and limit it to only at launch.
- LaputanMachine 4y agoThanks for taking a look at this! Maybe the update check is not completing in time and hitting a 45 second timeout similar to [1]?
