So why doesn't 4chan support WebP files?
Google shills out in full force this morning?
>>109650481Why doesn't 4chan just not limit what type of file we attach?
>>109650481webp is too reddit
>>109650648haha yeah bro check out this cool meme>bill_clinton_cat.jpg.exe
>>109650481>So why doesn't 4chan support WebP files?They dont touch the code base. People will be asking this until the year 10191.
>>109651046but they approved mp4 though, and vp9
>>109651368Then ask them for an official answer.https://4chan.org/contact
>>109651394I'm not the OP, just saying they do change the code
>>109650481because they use software from 2012 to generate thumbnails, and libwebp only exists since 2018
>>109650481
>>109650481>why doesnt 4chin support googlefaggotryit is a mystery
>>109651368mp4 container, h.264 video support was to make it easier to cross-post slop from Xitter.
>>109650648I'd get into cryptojacking if that were to happen. Would love to make some money off of you retards.
>>109651567webp heems both jpg (lossy) and png (lossless) though. what are you on about?
>>109651548desuwa switched all to cloudflare polish after the last hack, no?
>>109651592my lil board supports:Images: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebPVideo: WebM, MP4Audio: MP3, OGG, FLACDocuments: PDF, EPUB, plain textArchives and disk images: ZIP, 7z, RAR, TAR, gzip, bzip2, XZ, LZ4, Zstandard, ISO, PAR2 (data recovery/integrity files)can you l33t h4x me?
>>109651655does it strip metadata? does it reencode into shitty jpegs for phonefags?
>>109651660Only strips gps/serial numbers from pictures, leaves videos untouched. Am I cooked?
>>109651673that's where the bugs are usuallyprobably not many nowadays but still
>>109651682well darn, guess I will find out with time.
>>109651682was always buggy for 4chan till they switched to cloudflare polish
>>109650481I still imagine the 4chan server being a beige tower whirring away in someone's home office
>>109651695nowadays you can just containerize with strict time limits after which the container gets killednot to mention the ability to disable internet access for the container entirely
>>109651695is there a visual difference between cloudflare polish and cloudflare english?
>>109651601not too late to grow a spine mr shrimphttps://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/08/google-will-block-sideloading-of-unverified-android-apps-starting-next-year/
>>109651714that's not going to help against pee
>>109651749it's stored in the balls.
>>109651744not relevant to what I stated, which is true.
because literal nigger modthat's actually why
>>109650481Rapeape can't afford a Claude subscription to add it
>>109651818lmfao
>>109651818wrong, see >>109651558
>>109650481Because hiro just doesn't give a fuck about this place anymore.If you want Webp there's a growing number of altchans that support it now like umigalaxy, I'd suggest you give them a try instead of bitching all day and night about how terrible 4chan is. WE FUCKING KNOW
>>109652253>umigalaxyUI too gay, not using that
>>109652255That's where you'll learn about all the cool stuff about webp if that's what you're into. Personally I'm more interested in JXL and if altchans like this have added support for webp then it's possible they will add support for JXL as well.https://umigalaxy.com/explore/technology/785/lossless-webp
>>109652255It does seem like anonymous posting is supported there, it looked like a twitter clone at first. Might be a dead altchan like so many but it does support webp unlike 4chan.
>>109650481Is not a battle tested format. We used to have .jpeg and .gif images that could deploy malware.
>>109652414The biggest webp RCE was already patched years ago.
Do I have any RCE's? altchan.org phones probably wont reach it.
>>1096504814chan is legacy code and was bought by a Japanese guy.The 2025 hack showed that they don't do any modernization
>>109650826>.exeIf you're on wangblows you deserve it
>>109652512I always pipe curl to bash as root.
>>109652507True and real, the "onions" switcheroo is still in the code because they don't know how to fix it.
>jxl finally shipping in chromium & firefox this year, already in safariwhy bother implementing a clearly-inferior format at this point?
>>109652253perro chancla
>>109652651At least for Anime images there's no practical benefit going from WebP to JXL. Some have mentioned that this could improve in the future but that's one big maybe.Most altchans deal primarily with Anime images so it's not going to be easy to convince them to adopt JXL.
>>109652651Also performance. A single VP8 keyframe is incredibly easy to decode, picrel probably turns completely green.
All chan boards should just convert all image formats to PNG. It's the only one with a proper starting and stopping key barrier that is enforced.
>>109652886What about bandwidth? see >>109652301Lossless webp uses 20-30% less bandwidth than PNG
>>109652905I mean, with so many streaming videos these days I don't really concern myself with bandwidth.
>>109652720>>109652862>he's still trying
>>109651558Why is this gorilla negroid still in charge of anything?
>>109653291You're confusing DECODING with encoding. The former is what users actually care about in real life. For example if a website takes longer than 1 second to load then users are likely to abandon it.
