good news: the photography site now has a functional rss feed with images!

I never post but I finally took the time to get some of my photos online:
photos.emmalyx.dev
Some of them have HDR renditions, but those are only visible on HDR-capable iOS 26 devices rn.

yeah, and yet. :(
I treat clientside colorspace conversions in browsers as basically non-existent and I'm thankful media queries exist to let me separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak

glass looks really cool though, thanks for making me aware of it!

if I used a customized color profile I'd be fine with a photography website throwing up its hands and going "look we'll create an srgb copy but things might get weird"

there's only so many Known color profiles so I think you could feasibly handle them all with simple "If Input Space Is Larger Than P3, Create New P3 Copy" (and again for srgb) heuristics

I'm also looking into putting some of my photos online and I ran into similar problems as you lol. whenever I've got time I'll probably build out my website a little and host those photos myself

it's kinda wild that Serious photography platforms won't let you upload multiple images with their own color profiles (for presentation through a media query-gated <picture> maybe?) *or* accept photos with large color spaces and do their own srgb and p3 conversions themselves

makes sense. I convert my photos down to srgb or p3 since those are the only relevant color profiles for still images and I don't want user agents to do (or *not do*, as you mentioned) their own conversions

genuine question: why export photos in linear srgb? depending on the audience, my final exports are either srgb or p3 and so far that's been fine

A screenshot of FontForge, a font editor, showing a large number of glyphs from a font called "Podium Sans".

specifically it's a modified version of Myriad. it's a shame no vector version of this font was ever released

it uses bitmap fonts that, iirc, have no kerning information

thank you!

@freya.bsky.social oh I've been meaning to ask because I might've missed it, but what lens are you using for the kitty photos?

that's such a good photo holy shit

thank you so much!!

@pseudonymjones.bsky.social hiya! just wondering, do you still have your "have you been the victim of a bad nap?" comic somewhere? I can't seem to find it anymore :|

I'm not dealing with ui on linux, sorry. feel free to reuse the graphics I made for those tools though

that probably and they, once upon a time, incorporated stuff from git repos that wasn't merged yet for whatever reason. part of the reason why dont-ship.it exists

fair, just thought I'd mention it, definitely had my share of Fun with snap before. the manjaro thing randomly came up elsewhere earlier today so it was still fresh on the mind

manjaro is known for bundling outdated, insecure software. if you're still up for it, I'd recommend either trying fedora or simply just ubuntu

they replaced my out-of-warranty first-gen airpods pro twice on account of internal hardware damage that wasn't my fault. maybe they'll do it for you too

my sony xm4 over-ears developed the same problem a while ago, so I'm now using them as fully passive wired headphones. there's probably something fucked in your airpods, I'd get them swapped out

we still have a squeezebox touch, now backed by LMS running on some raspberry pi here, and it's wild another device like it just *never* materialized

visual studio's publish thingy has just completely stopped working for me with .NET 9 projects. two minor versions ago, it used to throw some unrelated exception but now, it'll go "success!" without having written a single file to the designated output folder. it's rough

ngl I was *just* looking at your website for inspiration the other day. the new one's fantastic. chef's kiss
