  • Sorry, I missed that -- see it now. 👍

  • how I feel

    Like an Airbender?

  • 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.

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

  • LPT 4

    Why are we discussing a printer port?

    (I am old)

  • I tried searching for 'disgruntled gone snail' and got nothing. I don't think that's a real thing.

  • 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.

  • Life... finds a way.

  • save the hamburglar!!!!1

  • 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.
