I'm still working towards the goal of running my websites off of solar power. Today, I started dithering images on my blog for faster loading. On the image below, I resized and dithered it, which reduced the file size by 93% (from 837KB down to 59KB). That's not as small yet as I'd like the images to be, but it's a good start.

@tulsi Ah, good to know. I'll look into it. I do like the aesthetics of dithering, though, so I may keep it anyway.

@kormyen When AGI bots become a thing, though, I might be willing to become a digital recluse and interact only with them.

Just finished "The Tombs of Atuan." Man, that book does things to me.

Does anyone have experience with FreedomBox? It seems interesting. I'd like to hear opinions on it, if you have any.https://freedombox.org/

Ooh, this is super interesting. I'd never thought of storing compressed air for energy! https://theconversation.com/lets-store-solar-and-wind-energy-by-using-compressed-air-103183

@cscottmills How did you pick a pub server? I'm utterly new and know nothing.

@RotundCat In one of @neauoire's talks, he gave those sorts of reasons as justifications for his conlang work. For example, he said that if removing words destroys the kinds of thoughts we can think, the presumably the reverse is true: that creating new words (or even new languages) gives us tools for thinking new thoughts.
