Sounds like time investment that is unlikely to pay off 😏
It's looks cool as it is!

Rust crates still have names like that: parking_lot (I don't even know what the damn thing does 😅)

@romin @kaia
AFAIK so does btrfs — less advanced filesystems don't because storage is getting fast these days, desktop systems and phones are unlikely to benefit from it at the cost of using more processing power 🤷

> only the originals are federated
True. I was thinking about media proxy. Not sure GtS has this feature, but Masto, Pleroma and snac2 do this (optionally): the instance caches the original media from federated posts locally, so instance users don't have to download it from remote instances — good for privacy and reduces the overall load on the network.
Converting the media cached this way to the desired format on the fly might make sense too!

If those guys at Google are right and everyone indeed wants WebP today — shouldn't be such a big problem.
I intend to try this on my snac2 instance, see if I can come up with a working solution. It might be non-trivial with other Fedi server software, but snac2 uses paths with clear extensions — shouldn't be too hard.

@rl_dane @mirabilos
Like I said, this wouldn't be a problem is servers honoured the "Accept" header, I think it should be trivial to make a filter in nginx in front of actual Fedi server software for paths ending in the likes of ".webp" and if the client requests specific types, not just "image/*" — pass it to a tiny proxy, which would convert it on-the-fly to desired format. Coupled with caching, it shouldn't be a great hit on performance.

@rl_dane
As much as I would like to see AVIF and JPEG XL (but not WebP) succeed, support for them nowadays is indeed still quite limited.
Besides, retro does not necessary mean very old hardware, people often use exotic devices with software those came with for the sake of aesthetics. E.g. my ThinkPad T43 from 2005 is capable of decoding JPEG XL, but not my Lumia 950 from 2015🤷

Wouldn't it be great if server software honoured the Accept header? 😩
Sad to know that GoToSocial sticks with WebP now — but I suppose it makes sense: you use Go, you have to play nicely with whole Google ecosystem. That is why I stay away from Go now — I really like the language, but not everything that comes with it.

I'm not very good at positive agenda, I would probably attempt to take control over Chromium and Android and use it to somehow erase all software based on these codebases from existence — sending takedown requests and such 😈

@ddlyh It's a bit inconvenient though that snac does not retrieve a few of the person's recent posts like Masto and Pleroma do and can only show you their profile, so you sometimes have to go to that person's instance to figure out who they are, which is not a problem when you are using a web browser, but if you are browsing Fedi using software like tut, this is inconvenient.
Maybe it makes sense, as fetching posts of everyone you interact with would make snac more resource-hungry, but still…
