Hah, that was hilarious. I've never heard this song before.

Seeing as your font is OFL, you might like to submit it to Google Fonts. That would make it so much easier for devs to include on their webpages and other media.

Every single webpage I've seen with webp / avif images also had autoplaying videos, intrusive ads, and megabytes of JS. I don't think jxl will change that... What's the point of introducing new image formats that are poorly supported and take longer to encode/decode if you're going to cancel out the space savings anyway?

> Helps to remove WebP from the Accepts header to force servers to serve the original.

I have tried doing that with curl/wget but have been unsuccessful, websites still serve webp even when the original URL ends with .jpg or .png... Could you explain how you do it?

OnlyOffice, despite being newer than LibreOffice, has better compatibility with office documents and is way ahead in terms of UI. Plus it runs on Linux.

Excellent writeup, and the song (Searchlights) is pretty good too. Remember to always archive lost music in its full quality as ripped from the original CD or vinyl, in WAV or FLAC formats. Don't be an MP3 chump!

I'm more inclined to use the uppercase -R as it's standardized by POSIX and will generally behave the same on any POSIX compliant system.

Nice to see Newgrounds is still alive and more or less unchanged since its early days. With so many of the creative spaces online becoming highly censored hellholes, having a more laissez-faire platform is a breath of fresh air.

I've used proot in the past but it crashed often, I'm interested in finding other rootless chroot-like projects.

w64devkit is an absolute joy to use, and I'm surprised that it's still not widely adopted by devs. Extracting a single ZIP archive to get a complete POSIX environment on Windows with all kinds of build tools is nothing short of impressive, and it even supports Windows XP! (minus CMake and a couple other tools)

> Just dynamically link against the oldest glibc you want to support.

Just the other day I tried running an older binary and it failed with a glibc error, despite it being linked to a glibc version that's barely 5 releases behind the one on my system. So maybe glibc isn't backwards compatible after all...
