AVIF and AV1 have been supported everywhere for a year now (ignore dead ie, opera mini and whatever kaios is). for those who use Safari on old macs and iPhones (M3, iPhone 15 and earlier) just render hvc1 (hevc with weird macos meta tag)
So drop webps and pngs today! Host only .avif, av1 and hvc1.

Would you sacrifice EVERYTHING (dx, ux, ssr, build speed, disk space, your time, nerves) for 100/100/100/100 lighthouse score? @astro.build is built just for that
mobile still falls behind because of 13kb css file and lighthouse breaking on 2x screen density but good enough for me☝️🤓

erm ackchyually the correct mental model is to use width: 100%; max-width: 1234px; not width: 1234px; max-width: 100% 🤓☝️

Missing pre-liquid-glass macOS aesthetic? Check out my new personal website I've been crafting for 4 months and finally released it today! CSS view transitions with blur, double border on squircles, fully accessible and labelled, no JS required, works even on "safest" mode in Tor browser!

I just made this in light of recent events — mit.hloth.dev
There is a special bonus at the end of the page if you're braindead enough to scroll through wall of text titled "GPL license". Finally, some good use for hours of training your finger while scrolling reels!

Update: I also got permanently banned from another IT subreddit. I'm going to attach a few screenshots from the thread. As if defending GPL wasn't bad enough on its own, these people aggressively attack you and call you names over a SOFTWARE LICENSE. Bravo, opensource community! 👏👏👏

Apparently preventing pedos from sharing csam by scanning content locally AND without any kind of reporting whatsoever is bad enough. So bad that it's better not to implement any obstacles for this kind of content sharing at all. cause pedos are known to bypass 'em?
oh, reddit, what a nasty place...

just finished migrating all my repositories from github to selfhosted forgejo. all of them. almost 200. at least 150 are still there but are automatic pull read only mirrors. not only all issues, prs, wikis, releases, but even actions workflows with docker-in-docker (my personal hell). git.hloth.dev
