unicornporn··on Swedish slow TV: The great moose migration [video]
You must be bored. ;-)
unicornporn··on Swedish slow TV: The great moose migration [video]
> Are the Scandinavians so bored that they find the dashcam of a train amusing?

Or so at peace with life (knowing that we can get free healthcare and education if or when we need it) that we can find beauty in simple things, like moose migrating. ;-)

Got it in Sweden today.

> I think my main complaint about Doku is that it's built on PHP.

How is that a complaint? PHP is thoroughly battle tested and works on any cheap shared hosting. It's the perfect choice.

Stop dreaming, support is strong. Washington Post via Levada reports an enormous 80-percent approval rating.[1]

Yes please. :)

unicornporn··on WebP is such a goated format
That is not the same thing. This addon does not modify "image.webp.enabled" or "image.avif.enabled", it modifies the accept header. If you modify the preferences you mention you will still be served AVIF and WebP, but viewing will break...

It does not convert. But if you don't want WebPs, use:

unicornporn··on WebP is such a goated format
> Does WebP provide a savings against jpeg for these photos?

“WebP seems to have about 10% better compression compared to libjpeg in most cases, except with 1500px images where the compression is about equal.”[1]

mozjpeg JPEGs + AVIF in a <picture> element is the way to go now. You will probably always want to serve JPEGs as an alternative WebP and AVIF and that makes WebP is a waste of disk space for lossy compression of photographs.

I'm amazed the “WebP is such a goated format” blog post made in to the front page of HN.

unicornporn··on GTK4 Matrix Client
Very good news, thanks for the update.
unicornporn··on GTK4 Matrix Client
Like almost every client out there it has no support for e2ee. I was happy to find https://nheko-reborn.github.io (Qt based).
unicornporn··on GTK4 Matrix Client
Have they implemented e2ee yet? https://nheko-reborn.github.io has.

https://nheko-reborn.github.io/ supports it too?

> indeed, the other is a proof of concept and will remain as is.

I've always said that a easy to deploy CMS is one of the missing pieces for the IndieWeb. Preferably it should work on any shared hosting. PHP/SQLite would be a good fit, but I understand if you have other preferences.

unicornporn··on Mastodon 3.5
Oh, I came across this long ago and forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder! Hope you will find funding via Prototype Fund too!

> Would you pay a doller per month for such?

For what? Hosting or development? I'd definitely pay $1 for development. :)

BTW, you say #Seppo, but the repo says ShaarliGo. Are you considering a name change?

> I've never attached my 2020 LG 4k 65" to any network and it works great.

I guess that would work as long as you move to a place far away from humanity. It definitely won't work if a neighbour runs a WiFi hotspot without password protection.

Thanks for taking the time!
unicornporn··on NLAW anti-tank launcher unboxing and instructions video
Thanks. I'm glad someone knows these things better than I do. I'm also happy (and sad) that someone else will have to do the dirty job of firing these beasts.
unicornporn··on NLAW anti-tank launcher unboxing and instructions video
Thanks!

...perhaps I should add that by "Swedish" I also meant SAAB weapons.

unicornporn··on NLAW anti-tank launcher unboxing and instructions video
As a Swede I'm happy to see that our Swedish weapons are in the right hands.

I believe we've sent 5000 AT-4[1]. I'm not sure this is one of them though. From a rough Google Image search this does not look an AT-4. But what do I know...

unicornporn··on Folding bicycle small enough to fit in hand luggage
My biggest question is the combination of an extremely short wheelbase, small wheel diameter and, perhaps more importantly, the negative fork offset and the steep head tube angle. It seems it would be extremely easy to get thrown over the handlebars when hitting an obstacle... What's your reasoning behind this geo? Is it only space saving?
unicornporn··on Largest GDPR fines surpass $1.3B
Quite simple. You just facilitated Twitter's data collection. Without you it would not have happened.

Even worse, the user loading your page could probably not have known you embedded a Tweet (and sent their data to Twitter) before actually loading the page (if you didn't implement a consent dialog with a reject option).

How could that possibly be a nightmare? Download the fonts and host them yourself.

What if they could go for the companies building these standardized GDPR cookie consent dialogs instead...

> Seat post height is based on how long your legs are, not how tall you are.

Thank you, just what I was thinking!

> If anything, you should list that by inseam.

What you want to measure is the PBH (pubic bone height). It is very precise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yxZkHpAB4g

unicornporn··on Bicycling Street Smarts, Chapter 6: Using Your Brakes (2001)
Oh shit, that's a grim reality. :(

Weather in SF seems nice, but when it comes to bike commuting I'm happy to be in Scandinavia.

unicornporn··on Bicycling Street Smarts, Chapter 6: Using Your Brakes (2001)
> The outcome of that is you'll chew through your front pads and rims much more quickly than your rear.

Most contemporary bikes have disc brakes (breaking won't chew on your rim) and wearing through the front pads faster than the rear pads can't really be considered to be a problem, can it?

unicornporn··on Apple Studio Display Review: Nothing to See Here
I'm not sure you know how built-in hardware calibration works. A built-in arm on the CG swings out at a set interval and automatically creates a LUT for the screen.
