In-reply-to » These pictures are expensive, 130 KB as a png file. how come? Can they get smaller to under 50Kb?

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net The smaller the file size the smaller the image’s resolution and the less detail you can see. It’s a tradeoff between space, bandwidth and pixel density and detail.

Does anybody know a right mouse click save and reduce a screen saver image to a smaller file, say 50KB?
My usual method is slow, place in image program and re-save it smaller.

I used to have a Window’s way to reduce file images from 1MB to 50 KB with right mouse click.

In Unbunti software, explore KolourPaint is says the “No application found”

Unbuntu in a bad mood. KolourPaint will not run, unstalled and reinstalled in, shut down the machine and fired it up again, installed just keeps the wheel icon wheeling????

I get nothing. The stupid Kolour Paint will not run.
The wheeling wheel keeps on wheeling, yet everything else is fine.

Why can’t you get you computer back when you shutdown Ubuntu?

@prologic@twtxt.net I wish getting a static IP and a (more) stable internet connection wasn’t so hard over here. Then I could do proper self-hosting as well. But as it stands, I need some rented VPS.

I could go ahead and just use the VPS for the IP, i.e. forward all traffic through Wireguard to a box here at home. Big downside is that the network connection would be even slower than it already is and my ISP breaks down all the time for a few minutes … it’s just bad overall and much easier/better to rent a VPS. 🫤

Thanks, @falsifian@www.falsifian.org! I’ll definitely start with the latter one then. Let’s see how far I make it. :-)

I am so sorry Maggie Forest, but I won’t be voting for you for the Ryan electorate. I will continue to vote for and support Elizabeth Watson-Brown a voice for the people of Ryan who actually gets things done!

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Oh, that’s neat! Interesting how “obviously” isn’t all that obvious at all, even to the contrary. I reckon I have to read up on that subject on the weekend. :-)

I like how Ian’s and your photo complement each other, winter and summer join forces for something special. :-)

En fait, pour le #potager il me faudrait vraiment un broyeur (histoire d’avoir un bon compost). Je me demande s’il existe des trucs sans électricité….
