And a bunch of cycling news.
Every time this question comes up, I look at my list and realize a few feeds have stopped. So now I’m watching here for some new ideas. TIA y’all.
Does anyone else remember back in the early days of the internet when experts used to say, “The internet routes around problems”.
I miss those early days.
To @daggermoon@lemmy.world , I see that a lot with searches now too but I just keep searching or find some other way around the problem. There’s no way I click in to Reddit any more. You do you, but I’m saying there’s always another option.
No more
As someone else noted, they use a platform called Fireside. I wonder how hard it would be to self-distribute a podcast with thousands of listeners.
Ethan is great too and I use his website a lot.
Wow, super cool! Thanks for sharing this.
Static page route
Ooooh! I started down the PHP path and that’s already working but now I like this idea of using JS and canvas more so I am going to go research that next. I have an nginx server running so this could work. (I wonder if this is how https://squoosh.app/ works since they claim it’s all client-side too?)
Great suggestion, I didn’t know was possible so thanks very much! 👍
I loved that app for like a year and yes, it was perfect. I don’t know what changed but about 6 months ago, when I upload images to it, they were black rectangles and so it wouldn’t shrink my images. No idea what caused that, I searched around and could not find a resolution so I moved on.
But also, it’s owned by GOOG and that’s a downside for me.

However, Squoosh utilizes Google Analytics to collect the following:
Basic visitor data. <-- what does this mean?
The before and after image size value.
If Squoosh PWA, the type of Squoosh installation.
If Squoosh PWA, the installation time and date.
I should see if I can download the code, strip out their surveillance and then use it locally from there. Thanks for the tip!
Yah, thanks. In a pinch, I’ve been using GIMP but as you say, there’s a lot to it and a lot of steps to this simple process.
I’m going to see if a AI tool can help hack together a simple web page. If I do, I’ll share the code I end up with somewhere.
Maybe then, the message could be, “An internal error has occurred and we’re going to work on fixing it but there’s nothing you can do to fix it yourself right now”. It’s the “Oops” that fries my grits.
OK but then inherent in what you’re saying is also the message, “… and don’t contact us about this, because we don’t want to deal with it” which is also mildly infuriating to me.
The lines between mobile device and server get blurred even more.
For anyone curious, that comes from
Oooohh. TIL. Thanks!
If you go this route, OP, and have an Android phone, then you should know the (very sad and disappointing) news that SyncThing for Android is about to be shut down.
Hi author! I’m Dad. :)
Thanks for joining the conversation. I thought it too much to hope you’d be on Lemmy but glad you are! Thanks for adding those bits about https, but I was saddened to see that 90% of the conversation around this centered on that one side topic.
I’ve only read the TOC for your book so far but it seems very much what we need to see more people adopt self-hosting so thank you very much for putting in the time and effort!
Thanks for this idea - the counting would be easy, but I don’t have anywhere to store the numbers. With my free Netlify account and my static web site, I don’t have a DB and and can’t write to a file when someone visits, at least not that I know of.
Yup, the Lemmy search feature must be broken again. ;)
But that shouldn’t stop people giving OP new ideas. :)
