It does not simply reduce the image quality by a desired amount, it changes the image by brazenly removing features, potentially important ones, without telling you. It uses a chosen contrast threshold for fine details and simply removes these details if its contrast differences are below this threshold. It disappears from the image and is replaced with a monotonous color without even a hint that there was something there. This isn't compression it's forgery, it's deception, it's image fakery.
JPEG XL is the real winning format. It preserves all fine details even the faintest ones whereas AVIF at the same file size replaces it with a monotonous area. It's a shame that Chrome (and all derived browsers) has decided to discontinue JPEG XL support citing lack of interest while promoting and spreading the inferior, deceptive and dangerous liar that is AVIF.

>I for one will likely convert all PNG to ~50% smaller JXL losslessly sooner or later.
Converting from PNG to JXL makes the file bigger in almost all cases, what you mean is converting loselessly from lossy shit quality JPEG to lossy shit quality JXL which might save you 10-15% if you are lucky, of course you need to covert it back every time you want you use it because nothing supports JXL.

Is it considered weird to build your own NAS?
I see alot of people buy QNAP and Synology shitboxes after building a whole ass PC, when they are ultra proprietary hardware.

In this post when I say "free" I mean it as the kind of freedom that private property gives you, aka free as in I can do whatever I want with it.
I was thinking about how after the internet became mainstream all the trends in computing in the 21st century started pushing against the microcomputer(personal computer) revolution of the last century.
The main concept of the personal computer is that it's personal, or in other words it's your own private property and you can do whatever you want with it, it was a very successful concept for a time so why did it fall apart so badly once people started making their PCs communicate with each other?
In theory the internet was build to be decentralized(just a bunch of computers communicating without any center) and the PC fits very well into this philosophy, each PC just has to become a server with all the necessary networking software/firmware/hardware and it becomes an independent node in the network over which the user has complete control(of both the software and data)... yet in practice this almost never happens because almost everyone just connects to corporate centralized servers as a client losing all control.
But everyone already knows this right?
Well what I find even crazier is that even the very few people that are against corpos and "care" about decentralization in fact still end fighting against the concept of the PC and of private computer property.
See for example all the people that "self-host", the very meaning of that word has been corrupted from "PC I own connected to the internet running in my basement" to "VPS running in corporate owned cloud".
Or all the people that say everything should be P2P or federated yet then don't run their own nodes or if they do thet run it in corporate owned VPS anyways and in any case they don't have real control over their computing because those protocols limit your freedom with rigid rules or outright ban you.
Why do people hate freedom so much?

>>102471801
IPv6 allows all of your networked computers to be publicly addressable due to the large number of available addresses. It's somewhat of a privacy issue because now individual PCs are identified in their communications with remote hosts, rather than hiding among all the NAT'd machines. Network firewalls need to die too.

Why am I not wearing my Holoshadez? I always wear them to help me see the green aura around the spooks. I guess I should have been more graphic, so here it goes... I walk into spook central holding a 5-gallon bucket of Replikka honey flavored epoxy wearing nothing but a pair of clown shoes, my HoloShadez, NeuroBoy and a Casio Tough Solar watch. A shaved, bald head is my crown. As they stare at me in astonishment, I say,
"Go ahead glowniggers, spy all you want... while you're at it , listen to Deep /cyb/ Radio AM 404 -International, /cyb/+/sec/'s favorite ethereal radio station... fuck you." as I pour the epoxy all over my body. That's how I'm going out. When word gets out of my arrest, and the world learns of my true identity, I hope you guys will emortalize me in dank memes.
