Yup, the Lemmy search feature must be broken again.

But that shouldn't stop people giving OP new ideas.

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.

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.

Just taking a minute to share this podcast with y'all. I know it's already in the sidebar here, but thought Alex & Chris deserve a shout out for their great show.

They talk about the week's news and their own experiences hosting at home. Listening to them talk tech makes me more confident about my hosting.

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.

I've searched around and can't find this but it seems like someone must have created this already. I am hoping to find a self-hosted image resizer app. I frequently need to take photos from my phone (etc...) and make them small enough to post online.

For instance, my lemmy instance (lemm.ee) only allows images in posts if they are smaller than 500KB but my phone's photos are always larger than that.

In a perfect world, I could just browse to a local server app, upload an image, select a size to resize it to, hit Go and then download the smaller image. It doesn't have to allow any other editing and it shouldn't store images long-term. I want to self-host so I don't have to upload my images to random web sites I know nothing about.

I would be happy with a FOSS desktop app I can install in linux too, but then I couldn't access it from my phone. The Android apps I found for this either look scammy or include tons of ads.

Anyone know of such a thing? Thanks!

I'm happy with [dockge] (https://github.com/louislam/dockge) for now but thanks! If I ever decide to go full auto update, I'll check this out.

For any other Audiobookshelf users looking at that article and thinking, "Wait, how did they get that nice wooden shelf look in the UI?"

The lines between mobile device and server get blurred even more.

I can't believe they're still around

My requirement with this page is it has to load really fast, because I return to it often while working / browsing. So yeah, it's really lightweight and easy to maintain, as things come and go. The source is stored in Forgejo! (the "Code" button there).

I just hacked a simple HTML page for this, with big mobile friendly buttons.

That page is served by nginx in my server and is my default home page on my phone and desktop.
