Anything you want to back up (data directories, media directories, db data) you would use a bind mount for to a directory on the host. Then you can back them up just like everything else on the host.

There’s one thing I’m hosting on bare metal, a WebDAV server. I’m running it on the host because it uses PAM for authentication, and that doesn’t work in a container.

Just run your own locally. If you have a machine with an AMD iGPU, you can allocate a bunch of your system RAM as VRAM and run really big models with something like LLM Studio.

Giving estimates for complex software projects is really hard.

I didn’t say it was patent free, and the text doesn’t say “unless we say so”. It explicitly says the only way the patent grants can be revoked is if you enter patent litigation or enforcement regarding this code.

If you or your agent or exclusive licensee institute or order or agree to the institution of patent litigation or any other patent enforcement activity against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any of these implementations of WebM or any code incorporated within any of these implementations of WebM constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, or inducement of patent infringement, then any patent rights granted to you under this License for these implementations of WebM shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

That is still a problem, but what I was responding to:

It’s open to write the code, but in order to be authorized to use it you have to get a permit from Google. You can’t eg.: fork from Firefox and use their permit (as you implicitly could with patent-free). Plus, Google can rescind their patent grant at any point, which they are bound to do once they secure ownership of the internet.

is just wrong.

I have no problem with calling out Google’s anticompetitive behaviors, even in this case, but don’t lie about it.

So Google contributed to it, but ultimately didn’t invent it and doesn’t own it. In other words, what I said.

As opposed to WebP, which not only do they own, they also own several patents for that cover the entire bitstream. They offer a patent license that is conditional on not suing them. So they basically own and control WebP entirely. They do not own, nor do they control, JPEG-XL. Google owns patents that cover a portion of JPEG-XL, but don’t have full control.

And then they killed it. It was Google pulling support in Chrome that killed JPEG-XL’s momentum.

It was the Joint Picture Experts Group that invented it, so Google had no ownership over it, unlike WebP.

Google’s stance on JPEG XL is ambiguous, as it has contributed to the format but refrained from shipping an implementation of it in its browser. Support in Chromium and Chromeweb browsers was introduced for testing April 1, 2021[29] and removed on December 9, 2022 – with support removed in version 110.[30][31]The Chrome team cited a lack of interest from the ecosystem, insufficient improvements, and a wish to focus on improving existing formats as reasons for removing JPEG XL support.[29][32][30]

That’s just not true.

Because Google didn’t invent it, and Google decides what does and doesn’t get added to the Internet.

Emma Thorne in my memes?

The little format that could. 🥺

According to Wikipedia, it’s 8K resolution for the baseline profile. That’s still bad.

The image format… unless your image is greater than 4K resolution.

To be fair, it’s not terrible quality loss, it’s just worse than JPEG, the main format it was trying to replace. It’s way better than GIF though.

Yeah. I play Beat Saber a lot.

I got like 82% on my first try. Then 85% on my second. Just barely human.

You were so close. I got certified human like one level later.

I just left a comment on here about email, not realizing you were talking about VPN. Sorry for the unnecessary notification.

What’s up with the animosity for Proton around here? Did I miss something? What did they do?
