Is getting an ONT with Ethernet output normal? The comments were making me think that’s more of best case but maybe not standard.

“Reckless reliance” on our own software lol

I kinda hate Verizon, but I didn’t realize there were these other gotcha that I’m avoiding by using Fios hardware. The hardware itself has actually been pretty good. I can’t imagine paying for internet and not being able to just plug in my own router.

We’re so short sighted and bad at making long term beneficial decisions. Idk how humanity is gonna survive

Lol. Idk I like my iPhone. Absolutely not the labor practices of Apple, I’ve thought about a fairphone. But Apple is privacy focused enough, and I love their design language, both hardware and software. I love Linux, but mostly for SSH not my laptop.

Firefox is fine, but as a professional frontend developer, I need to test things on a Chromium based browser. I prefer the ethics and privacy of Mozilla, but Chrome is technically a great browser imo.

But vim, omg. I don’t think there’s a more beautifully designed piece of software. I want to reach wizard level. I want to navigate text like it’s magic with perfect fluidity. Vim is perfect.

I wonder if anyone else on Lemmy is like me lol.

I don’t use Firefox or Linux, but you had me at Vim

What’s a mouse? I use neovim btw

This website is really pretty. Design goals

You all don’t know what you’re talking about. Elon absolutely is a visionary. Who else could come up with the new Tesla Roadster with rocket thruster package (source)? Now, actually brining that vision to market, yeah Elon might not be your guy. Now that I think about it, his visions are more like delusions. Maybe let’s call him a delusionary.

Also gonna put this here if you would like to read more of his delusions. https://elonmusk.today/

• Garfield
• Tom
• Puss in boots
• The one in the hat

Idk, I think it would get stuck in his hair

How do you stay politically active without being the freaker.

I’m guessing it’s business that are optimizing for number of signups instead of returning users. Which is short sighted and stupid.

I bet if you showed this to Trump he would have some words for Altman. Though idk if his reaction would positively or negatively impact OpenAI is this Trump dystopia. I’m thinking if it’s anything like Elons retuning of (mechahitler) Grok, it would impact them negatively.

I wonder what would happen if the entire party started mocking Trump like this. Maybe this is our JD Vance meme moment but for Trump.

Thanks! I think I’m just going to upload progressively larger images to my instance and see where uploads fail lol.

So I actually kinda know what I’m talking about, but not really:

• Lemmy uses pictrs to handle image uploads
  • I know from experience that pictrs will fail on gif upload if max width is greater than PICTRS_MEDIA_ANIMATION_MAX_WIDTH and same for height and (I think) animation frame count
  • It’s less clear to me if static images get auto compressed on upload. Looks like pictrs implemented this a couple years ago, but I’m not sure if this is automatic behavior or has to be turned on by Lemmy admins.
  • I haven’t messed around with limits for image dimensions other than the settings for animated media, but I’m planning on testing this on my instance soon.
• Lemmy API image upload
  • 0.19.x has all images uploaded via the same API endpoint. So I think any image uploaded should be subject to the same dimension and size limits.
  • In the upcoming Lemmy v1 release, this might change as I believe they will have different upload endpoints for avatar, banner, post, etc. Avatars, for example, might be subject to smaller dimension limits. This is all subject to change as Lemmy v1 is not released yet.
• Lemmy API getting the image upload limit settings
  • 0.19.x does not expose the image upload limits via the API. So whatever, for example, lemmy.world set’s their limits to, there isn’t an easy way for a Lemmy frontend to look up those limits.
  • In the upcoming Lemmy v1 release, I believe they are planning on adding a way to look up these limits via the API.
• Other limits
  • Lemmy imposes it’s own rate limits on how many images you can upload/time period. I wanna say the default is roughly 6 images/hour, but I might be totally wrong there.
  • I’m also curious how many sever admins leave the default settings, or change them.

TL;DR, what does this all mean?

• Uploading gifs is always going to be a little annoying as they don’t auto compress. As a server admin, I just set the dimension limits higher so users encounter errors on fewer images
• Non animated images, I’m guessing are automatically compressed on upload. Otherwise I suspect many more people would be complaining about failed uploads. But I’m working on verifying this

Just to be extra safe – and also here’s why I know all this – I’ve chosen to auto compress images on upload in my own Lemmy/PieFed frontend to 1mb and 1000 max width/height, whichever comes first. I’m actively testing these settings.

I was trying to find the one of her face sliding around the ground

Side note: this is something I’m trying to figure out rn, but I know for certain that Lemmy gif uploads will fail if they are too wide. It’s unclear to me if non animated images will auto compress or fail when too big

You obviously forgot to put blood in your door
