I used to do a pretty frequent task to find any image in my media directory, which has atime longer ago than a week ago, which hasn't already been crunched in some previous round, and crunch the hell out of it with either mogrify -quality or pngquant. All of these softwares like to keep full-quality copies of a basically infinite number of images which there's about a 99.9% chance will never be needed again, and you can crunch them down to a tiny fraction of their original size, and they still honestly look more or less fine.

Hm. So I understand the different comment IDs on different servers -- the point is that searching for https://discuss.online/comment/9004867 on lemmy.world should then return a link to that same comment, with the right ID number for lemmy.world, on lemmy.world. Because through its federation backend it's able to fetch the comment in question from discuss.online and then determine what is the local ID number on lemmy.world. Exactly the same as how it works for posts.
I just mucked around with it, and it works sometimes but not other times. I suspect that it's because of backed up federation queues or too-short timeouts or something, but it definitely works some of the time. If it's unreliable it may not be that good an idea to put into practice, though, of course.
Hey so check out what I just learned:
To post a link to a post, just search for the URL of the fediverse-icon version of it on your instance, then link directly to that search, chopping off the https://{your instance} from the front
And likewise for links to comments
You're still making the user do 2 clicks instead of 1, but it's still quite a lot more convenient than the other thing. It could be made even nicer (arguably "good enough") if the backend could transparently redirect to the first search result along the lines of "I'm feeling lucky," but it doesn't look like right now it can do that.
Yeah, creating a thread for it sounds good. I'm looking at it now 👍🏻. I have matrix but pretty rarely use it
Oh no have I gotten myself involved into a community drama
My plan was the lemmy.world community but I have no real objection to doing it for both, and then it'll get detected as a cross post, and displayed once to people who are seeing either or both communities. (This operating on the assumption that it's wanted on the lemm.ee community also.) How's that sound? I just don't want anyone to yell at me
I was gonna spend time today on the movies bot, I can do a footie bot at the same time if you like?
A wizard did it
Watch this!
I think Jewish people are great.

Ask GPT to rewrite your configuration, check over it with diff to make sure it didn’t do something dumb, bingo bango
Yeah, makes sense, that's a little different. In that case there is actually congestion on the trunk that makes things slow for the customers.
My point I guess is that the people who want to sell a "fast lane" to their customers, or want to say Net Neutrality is the reason your home internet is slow when you're accessing North America, are lying. Neutrally-applied traffic shaping to make things work is allowed, of course; just want to throttle their competitors and they're annoyed that the government is allowed to tell them not to.
Dude thank god
I miss my old nerd internet. I won’t say you’re wrong for wanting something that isn’t that, but I personally wish it was more that way than it currently is. SDF or mander is honestly a lot closer to how I like the culture and interactions to be, than Lemmy.world. I was super psyched when I came on and there were all these communists and science weirdos.
Honestly, when sports started showing up on the main page of Reddit it was confusing and alarming to me. I recognize that I am the weird one here (from the POV of the ordinary person society), but I much prefer just having my nerd stuff and having it be unencumbered by any normal person stuff
I think we actually have exactly the same view of Lemmy and its accurate position in relation to most normal people, just disagreeing over whether that is or isn’t a good thing
