how I feel

Like an Airbender?

In b4 the snap complaints!

Alien scientists never gonna give you up...

What does it say if I can't decide whether that's Tony Bennet or Maggie Smith?

My sisters used to say "Eeek a ghost!" when I went to the beach.

Does anyone else remember back in the early days of the internet when experts used to say, "The internet routes around problems".

I miss those early days.

To @daggermoon@lemmy.world , I see that a lot with searches now too but I just keep searching or find some other way around the problem. There's no way I click in to Reddit any more. You do you, but I'm saying there's always another option.

I must be OOTL. What's all this about Signal?

LPT 4

Why are we discussing a printer port?

(I am old)

FreeTube is not working for me either. For now though, I can get the preview and then copy the URL for videos I really want to watch. Then I grab them with Open Video Downloader and watch it in VLC.

No more

So, you are saying Debian is the better choice, right?

As someone else noted, they use a platform called Fireside. I wonder how hard it would be to self-distribute a podcast with thousands of listeners.

Ethan is great too and I use his website a lot.

Oooh, neat! [Cunningham's Law] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#Cunningham's_Law) in action!

Wow, super cool! Thanks for sharing this.

Static page route

Ooooh! I started down the PHP path and that's already working but now I like this idea of using JS and canvas more so I am going to go research that next. I have an nginx server running so this could work. (I wonder if this is how https://squoosh.app/ works since they claim it's all client-side too?)

Great suggestion, I didn't know was possible so thanks very much! 👍

I loved that app for like a year and yes, it was perfect. I don't know what changed but about 6 months ago, when I upload images to it, they were black rectangles and so it wouldn't shrink my images. No idea what caused that, I searched around and could not find a resolution so I moved on.

But also, it's owned by GOOG and that's a downside for me.

However, Squoosh utilizes Google Analytics to collect the following:

    Basic visitor data.     <-- what does this mean?
    The before and after image size value.
    If Squoosh PWA, the type of Squoosh installation.
    If Squoosh PWA, the installation time and date.

  

I should see if I can download the code, strip out their surveillance and then use it locally from there. Thanks for the tip!

Yah, thanks. In a pinch, I've been using GIMP but as you say, there's a lot to it and a lot of steps to this simple process.

I'm going to see if a AI tool can help hack together a simple web page. If I do, I'll share the code I end up with somewhere.
