@abucci@anthony.buc.ci there’s a setting where you can state whether you want images displayed inline or not.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci that is a cute kitten!
@ionores@twtxt.net Indeed! :-( The only good thing is that I haven’t heard of any fires yet over here. The fire danger rating reached the highest level we have here days ago. On Thursday when we dared to go for a hike we’ve seen new signs put up warning about that and banning all fires, even smoking. We do not have any fixed sign installations like Australia or the North American states.

Vulnerability Alert: Avoiding “Dirty Pipe” CVE-2022-0847 on Docker Engine and Docker Desktop
You might have heard about a new Linux vulnerability that was released last week, CVE-2022-0847, aka “Dirty Pipe”. This vulnerability overwrites supposedly read-only files in the Linux kernel host, which could enable attackers to modify files inside the host images from the container instance. If you use Docker Engine natively, we recommend you should update … ⌘ Read more
@prologic@twtxt.net you be the man! I can’t remember the last time something gave as much troubles as this. The mention and the way to handle images are two things that have stuck in my head. Hopefully this is the last time there is an issue with this one! 🤞🏻

** A quick and dirty intro to the .pbm file format **
I’ve been fiddling with writing programs that draw pictures. I started with PostScript for this, but have since moved to writing programs that output in the .pbm format.
My goal here is to write noise to a .pbm file.
A .pbm file is the lowest common denominator among image file formats.
An example of the format,

The QOI File Format Specification
Last month I announced a
toy project called QOI — the Quite OK Image Format. It losslessly compresses
RGB and RGBA images to a similar size of PNG, while offering a 20x-50x
speedup in compression and 3x-4x speedup in decompression.
With the help of countless passionate people on Github, we have refined some of
the rough edges and specified exactly what … ⌘ Read more
I believe the selling point is to “mobile optimize” the page and send it to the browser faster than over mobile network direct.. But yes you are giving them the keys to your kingdom.
I remember similar things back in dialup days where your ISP would proxy things to you and supercompress the images.

Docker Secure Images: What Are They and How Do I Use Them?
One of the major challenges in today’s development environments is balancing innovation with security. Focusing on both is never a small effort and might seem tedious or constraining at times, but when security is implemented from the start, it can shorten development time and prevent exposure to vulnerabilities. This is why Docker rolled out Docker […]
