Why is this a jpg?
Just be happy that the jpg is not embedded in docx
Itself embedded in an auto extractable zip executable.
Archived once more in RAR, just for sure.
And then tar.bz2 on top so that no basic users of sidewalks can ever open it.
ikr
svg, lossless webp, or png are way better options for an image of text
JPEG XL would be the true future format, unfortunately Google killed it
Not yet they haven’t
They’re doing their best though
Because fuck blind people, that’s why

After a month and a half downtime all the users will have moved on to other instances. This is essentially a death sentence for the instance and its communities.
You underestimate the userbase. I made a temp account in the mean time, but we are a hyper tight knit community. We will probably lose accounts - no question - but the core userbase will return
The local communities are such a great mix of uplifting and informative posts that I am sure to return.
I agree. I replied to Kris elsewhere saying this, but I am super glad to have been a part of this instance because it feels like a nice balance of being large enough to be robust and diverse, but small enough to have a distinctive culture. I don’t often interact with the communities that were on the instance, but I always enjoy seeing my peers crop up in the comments of various posts — it’s one of my favourite parts of Lemmy being federated (db0 is another example of an instance that has such a distinctive vibe that seeing it as someone’s instance is often useful metadata that affects how I parse their comment)
You may underestimate user dedication. I love my instance and totally would come back after a few months away temporarily.
You got me on the communities though.
Fediverse is designed to handle servers with less than stellar reliability.
I think the migration to Piefed would be worse. Piefed is great, but needs better App support for Lemmy users to migrate. A merge of the Thunder fork into main Thunder would get the ball rolling.

On Android you can use the Interstellar app https://interstellar.jwr.one/ with piefed.social! Also iOS: https://testflight.apple.com/join/JXRtHye2
I don’t think so, I will definitely go back and do not wish to move permanently in another instance.
As others have said I think this instance has a strong base of dedicated users, it’s a “specialized” instance that has no equivalent.
They didn’t need you anyway.

Slrpnk.net is currently offline due to an unforseen hardware failure in combination with the main system-administrators having no physical access to the server location until mid July due to work or summer-holiday related travels.
We are very sorry for this unforseen down-time, but slrpnk.net will return for sure and we already have some plans for a nice relaunch, so stay tuned!
What is so special about piefed? I see a few communities moving there. The interface looks different from the original lemmy interface.
Well, you can add flairs :)
Thank you so much for the update - I hadn’t had access for about a week and was getting worried. Couldn’t reach them on XMPP either.
Did they run out of sun?
Maybe is vacationing in United Kingdom
No, just punk.
That sucks.
I’ll be back when they get back up.
“unforseen hardware failure”
somebody didn’t check their backups!
