Maybe I will change my domain. I could call my instance pickle.food.

Thoughts? Bet it’s taken.

@amberdambey @skyebot Random domain name, especially since I wasn’t sure if I was sticking with iceshrimp.net. But I don’t really see a reason to change the domain at this point.

I was looking at pixelfed and Sharkey but I actually like .net.

@sylvie @SkyDotBit I not only federate with them but I also follow them with a relay.

@stux is a very chill and down to earth person if you have questions.

So I had a wallpaper set on KDE. Then I restarted my computer.

Wallpaper reverted back to default... ideas?

On another note, never lose your only windows USB installer.

You'll find it's impossible to install windows again. You can download the ISO, but it doesn't come with the drivers. Conveniently, the drivers on the OEM website are all in .exe files, which you can't easily run on Linux and therefore you cannot extract them.

TL;DR make a backup windows installer with rufus and hide it somewhere or you're SOL.

I've successfully installed KDE Gentoo on this laptop today, so I feel like I accomplished something.

Yes, you can use bin packages with Gentoo. They offer them!

Why does ingest avif media, but fail to ingest avif media if it is account avatars or account banners? I'd love to drop webp support entirely, but can't because of this.

@SkyDotBit I dunno. With iceshrimp I have it converting media into avif (local) and webp (external) anyway. I could even do jpeg-xl, but nothing really supports that format other then safari and firefox nightly.

And I resize to 2048.

I much prefer this over storing the uncompressed jpeg/png files that use gigantic amounts of space.

Oh, pixelfed is basically just like iceshrimp? Unless I'm missing something.
