I’m just nodding along and hoping no one notices i don’t know what’s happening

That would be a very long bridge, probably too long to biuld. Notice the size of lake Ponchartrain by New Orleans, which is 24 miles. This would be a bridge hundreds of miles long. It’s likely not feasible, sadly.

that’s a good explanation, thank you very much 👍

thank you for that actual laugh out loud 🫡

hey there and thanks for sharing your findings. I’m also trying to get set up with an instance and am using the 80%, but explicitly. Did you do something to convert PNGs to WebP or are we stuck with the resizing?

I’m just using

MAX_PHOTO_SIZE=20000  
MAX_ALBUM_LENGTH=15  
IMAGE_QUALITY=80  

as the only restrictions. But really, my instance isn’t really a photographer blog, so super high res images probably wouldn’t be necessary.

Looking at the source code you linked, all photos are getting resized anyway? Should we expect that a PNG upload will typically be about 3MB? Thanks for sharing :)

not quite. While it’s true that rust has a reputation for taking longer to write and release in, green field development is a lot easier to work in than stuff that already has a lot of moving parts and places that you need to consider the affects of changing one thing to somewhere else.

Obligatory MOAR!!!

I thought this was not a real movie! 😂
…or something else

That’s a cool way to do chats though, I never thought about live updates on the tag.

trying to get sucked into the lemm.ee “after shutdown” anime?

There are a few towns that became their own internet providers b/c the big guys wouldn’t bring them either any or adequate service and they realized they could do it themselves more cheaply. They had to fight anti-socialism propaganda and of course lobbying and disinformation campaigns from the big providers, despite the fact that they had no intention of ever going there.

I just looked in to it b/c my browser isn’t showing it either. It turns out the alt text is just for when the image doesn’t load or screen readers. The title text is supposed to be for tooltips, or what you’d get if you hover over the image.

A place where unnecessary injuries and torn ligaments happen.

that was ironic

paintball guns???
🤣

there is one issue that I’ve found - my work blocks lemmy.zip, so I’m using the piefed account I made to test it.

My guess is that it ends in “.zip” and is getting blocked, b/c the rest of lemmy they aren’t bothering with.

I actually described how dutch sounded to me to some dutch friends. I said something like, “Dutch sounds like if a German got drunk, tried learning English, and then started choking.”

They told me that wasn’t far off 😂

that is very good to know, especially the tuning. Thank you!

thank you, that’s a good reference :)
