@SmartmanApps @voxpelli one of the greatest memes in history

@BeAware with the format=jpeg i'm getting a bit of blocks https://images.phocks.org/v1/images/testing/dd83b25d-b755-423f-a662-26887c89b60b?format=jpeg oh well. thanks for the help. I'll try to fix it later.

@BeAware @anathema_device Na it's not supposed to be green. I reckon it might start to develop blocks soon. maybe

@BeAware @anathema_device I've made a few changes to the config file. Let's see if it happens to this image. https://images.phocks.org/v1/images/testing/dd83b25d-b755-423f-a662-26887c89b60b

@BeAware @anathema_device Yeah I think it's re-saving the jpeg multiple times for some reason.

@BeAware @anathema_device very odd. It was fine, and then .. now

@BeAware @anathema_device haha wow yeah something strange is happening!

@anathema_device @BeAware Interesting. I wonder what's happening with the compression. Will check on my Mac.

@anathema_device @BeAware Interrrrrresting. This one seems fine. https://images.phocks.org/v1/images/testing/26b6df30-7ca5-4584-8b7d-fe117ea10be1?format=jpeg

@anathema_device @BeAware Yep. Same on Safari for me too. Fine on Firefox and Chrome. Ah hang on. Looks like it's serving up the jpeg version in Safari, instead of the webp. Maybe Safari doesn't support webp yet. Still, the jpeg version shouldn't be blocky like that, but maybe something happened during encoding.

@BeAware haha wow

Oh nice. I was looking for a self-hosted image server. This one written in Rust looks pretty good. https://github.com/ChillFish8/lust

OK so I managed to get it going with some preliminary test images. It's pretty cool. It's like I've got my very own little image upload API and content delivery network that compresses images to webp and jpeg and serves up the webp if supported. Here's a test image. Is it working for you? https://images.phocks.org/v1/images/testing/2eb1356b-f5a3-4bf5-a96b-0fe7f7e40eb1

Sooooo ... there's apparently a Mastodon security patch that's going to be released at 1am Brisbane time. I hadn't really planned on staying up this late to begin with. But now, with 18 minutes to go ... maybe I stay awake. Problem is. What if I blow up the server while trying to patch it and I end up staying up all night trying to fix it. Anyway. Much to think about. Maybe I'll have a lie down.

@BeAware This is true!

Happy 1st birthday Threads. As terrible as Meta/Facebook is, it's still 1000x better than the X bird site. https://wapo.st/4btdz2L
