PrivacyI’ve been fighting with the image proxying for days now, I just gave up on this post since the meat and potatoes is the text post itself

Yea I know there are certainly tangible benefits like privacy, censorship bypass, caching etc
But the crux of the issue
using ffmpeg in the background to recompile the image which will crash and burn it the image has even the slightest issue/corruption.
Does it really need to do all that? IMO it’s a proxy and it should just proxy things, not mess with things. Some basic checks at the most to just verify the image is an image and reject non-images, but that’s it. If there’s a need to also manipulate images then it should be handled separately
I loathe the image proxy -_- I had to strip the proxy part out of the link and open your instance URL in the browser just to see the gif because the image proxy fucked up again
Worth though it was a fitting gif lmao

Yeah, because the proxy has decided it doesn’t like it
This is what I actually wanted to link to/embed

Well actually I originally tried with a direct tenor link
But it didn’t like that either

It’s a feature of Lemmy where your instance will proxy image links for you, it can be useful in some cases to do things like bypass regional censorships (If you can access your home instance from your country, but not instance lemmy.example.com your home instance can proxy the image from lemmy.example.com so you can still see it (text is handled by federation already, so no proxy required for just text)) or to cache images in case an instance goes down
But it seems to be poorly implemented where it’s end user experience is a pain at best, and the more aggressive it’s set the more annoying it is.
Take for example this instance I’m currently on, infosec.pub, they seem to have it set to aggressively replace all image links including in comments no matter what.
So now my attempt to reply to this comment https://infosec.pub/comment/20590443 is utterly broken because the image service just doesn’t like it despite me just wanting to link to the off-site gif link manually typing the markdown instead.
This is what that gif looks like proxied:

GrapheneOSSo like @UnpledgedCatnapTipper@piefed.blahaj.zone found out it’s a Verizon sold phone and Verizon are absolute fuckwads about letting you unlock the BL.
When the seller said “Unlocked” they meant carrier unlocked as in it will accept any non-Verizon SIM card
Now, generally, for every other US carrier that does also mean you have the ability to unlock the BL because per Google policy when the phone is carrier unlocked then you will be able to BL unlock…
…except when that carrier is Verizon
Not sure how successful you’ll be on getting a refund, because technically they didn’t mistake anything the commonly accepted definition for “Unlocked” in this context is carrier unlocked. Which you would have been fine with, again, had that carrier not been Verizon.
Fuck Verizon.

Dividing line between metals and nonmetals (en.wikipedia.org)
The dividing line between metals and nonmetals can be found, in varying configurations, on some representations of the periodic table of the elements (see mini-example, right). Elements to the lower left of the line generally display increasing metallic behaviour; elements to the upper right display increasing nonmetallic behaviour. When presented as a regular stair-step, elements with the highest critical temperature for their groups (Li, Be, Al, Ge, Sb, Po) lie just below the line.[1]

Iran Demands Bitcoin For Ships Passing Hormuz During Ceasefire (slashdot.org)
He said that the tariff is $1 per barrel of oil, adding that empty tankers can pass freely. “Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, vessels are given a few seconds to pay in Bitcoin, ensuring they can’t be traced or confiscated due to sanctions,” Hosseini added.
