Can .webm’s finally be uploaded on the site?
Last time I tried that it didn’t work, so I had to convert it to a .png instead.

Hey could we add .jxl support? It's supported by default on librewolf, and I think the only reason chrome is holding off on it is because it competes with .webp, but chrome still supports it via about:flags.
We could make some absurdly storage efficient memes with it, like sub-kilobyte file sizes, and even double digit byte sizes.

>>18177you're not going to get that kind of performance with general image compression usage. while neat the kind of features on display here scream "difficult to parse" and therefore "security/DoS risk". fun that inercia ran a jxl compo tho
No.18195
>>17328>>18177I'm not sure it's a good idea to at the moment.
The reason we only added webp for thumbnails is because all the common-enough browsers and forks worked fine.
Only issue was apparently one guy whose browser version did support it but his setup was broken. We didn't add support for uploading them, because they're still considered an annoying non-default format on many operating systems. Well, unless that's changed in the past year. I haven't kept up with formats/compatibility for a while so I'm open to counterpoints.
Until .jxl and av1 formats get more mainstream support, I don't think it's wise to allow either of them to be uploaded. Especially if Chrome doesn't support them (out of the box). The average griller user shouldn't be expected to dig into their most-common-in-the-world browser just to make images show up.
>>17440I don't see why not. I'll try and add this when I get home.

Could we have some means of adding alt-text to images? Perhaps a tick next to the spoiler tick to preserve the description part of the metadata, and use that to give images alt-text?

The RSS feed for the overboard seems to be broken, all the links point to /leftypol/, even if they're on other boards like /siberia/. So 404 since there's no threads on /leftypol/ with that number.

random question, do we have enough ban evading that doing browser fingerprinting to try to catch them automatically would be valuable ?

>>18195Given chrome is starting to lose a lot of users over the Web Environmente integrity and Manifest 3 thing, I'm wondering how complex the process of adding .jxl would be. Like would it just be adding it to a list? The only Firefox I can think of that doesn't have the config rn is vanilla stable, which is huge, but many forks just enable it be default now, so things are looking good on that front.

>>6724 Say /tech/ dev team, would it possible for the site to be able to run flash? I know that browsers do not support it any more and its "outdated" and shit, but a lot of older materials are primarily .swf files which I can neither upload, nor open functionally on the site which is unfortunate given the myriad of old school content flash files may have.

I honestly loathe cloudflare because it makes the site slow as fuck, and makes using it on low wifi or in poor areas very hard, since it loads forever, then the captcha doesn't read. It's like 2010s 8chan post captcha all over again.

Not sure if this is a mod question or a /tech/ question so I'm reposting it in both
Say mods, why are so many of the image files and video files in
>>>/leftypol_archive/ and dead or gone? Like they're not deleted by mods, they just no longer exist. There's so many .webms that are non functional it's not even funny and the number of threads missing all of the images in them is annoying as hell. It's Desuarchive's filedeaths all over again.
Just as an example
https://leftypol.org/leftypol_archive/res/489758.html has all images dead. Why and how? Or the /edu/ checkpoint thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbafT2w0cCQBut they both go and go to the same video, this first one I coped off of YouTube's share feature and the second one I just directly copied from the browser.
