That's a good song, I think it's off their best album — Comfort Eagle. At least one of the best, I don't have favourites, but this one — I think I even have it on CD somewhere, that's why I'm more familiar with songs from it 😅

I'll start calling you Bernie Sanders from now on 😜

I use apulse with Firefox. It adds a little lag, but works much better, when it uses ALSA natively, it doesn't support mic input, with apulse it works flawlessly.

Okay, I've figured out what larping is, now wtf is sperging? 🤔

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 😅)

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.
