This article seems outdated. Webp supported on Safari. Also this article itself confirms that webp saves image size, just author for some reason thinks that it does not matter. Well, this page is not so fast to open for me, definitely not 0.5 second, more like 5 seconds, so I wouldn't be the one listening to his advices.

its hosted on a raspberry pi and is front page of HN...

I'm pretty sure the parent poster is talking about the page that says you shouldn't use Webp, not about low-tech machazine. The former claims to load in 0.5 seconds, the latter doesn't.

doh! I hate it when i end up viewing threads out of context :/

Amazingly enough the page seems to be updated very recently ("November 2021", which was not present back in March [1]).
