Thanks for explaining this, I feel like I already learned more on lemmy than I ever did on reddit now!
I'll keep this in mind the next time I want to optimize images on a website.
+1 for programming.dev
Interesting. I've in the past specifically encoded images for a webpage I created to .webp using https://squoosh.app as I determined it visually looked best for the file size while also being supported by pretty much all modern browsers.
And since none of the other modern image formats you've listed are widely supported by many modern browsers I will probably do the same again when I have to create another website with some images. But I would hope that other formats gain more traction in browsers so that I can use them in the future.
What benefit does rejecting image/webp give?
Awesome that it worked for you! I don't have the motivation to do that yet, maybe some day Windows becomes so bad that I actually want to switch.
Yea like I said it isn't really that I think that Linux is way worse or anything, but nothing is really motivating to switch.
I have all the applications I use figured out, some of them have no direct Linux counterpart (For one I really like the MS Office Suite and no Open Source alternative is as good in my opinion). And with WSL I have a lovely Linux terminal that I can use in Windows.
And I have to say I have never found Windows Updates to be a problem, I shut down my PC every day, and when there is a update to install I install it. Windows never forced me to install an update while I was using my PC.
The only thing that is really annoying me in Windows is the start menu, but using it as just a "search" to start applications and using Everything from voidtools to have all my other search needs on Windows met.
If I would switch so Linux I for me personally don't see any large enough benefits that convince me to invest that time, I much rather use the time to tinker with my servers that are running Linux.
But I'm really glad Linux is an alternative that only gets better with time, so once Windows gets too annoying for people like me there is a good alternative.
Awesome.
In my mind Linux is something I use on servers, but on my desktop I'm far too used to Windows. And since everything I want "just works" on Windows I haven't really found the motivation to try / switch over to Linux for my desktop.
That would be nice, but is at a whole other scale with bandwidth and storage space.
Although there is a fediverse alternative for Video Hosting: https://joinpeertube.org/
My understanding is that the actual full size image is held just on the source instance, but that thumbnails are cached on other instances for a time.
But looking into the official documentation there seem to be json files missing and the descriptions are not completly clear: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/05-federation.html#post
And just looking around using inspect element to see the HTML source it seems that even the thumbnail is not cached for external directly hosted on lemmy image posts. But then again I also could the the preview of a image post earlier while the full size image was not visible as the hosting lemmy instance was offline.
