I am aware of garage, but haven't tested it yet with pict-rs. It's a cool project for sure

Yes. It uses sha256 rather than perceptual hashing, but that's Good Enough™️

I'm not against including an ipfs layer in pict-rs, but the complexity would go way up. Federating an image between lemmy servers would require sending the ipfs uri between servers via activitypub, and then each receiving server sending that uri to pict-rs. pict-rs would then need to decide, on each server, if the ipfs-stored image matches that servers' image requirements (max filesize, max dimensions, etc), and if it does, then that pict-rs server would request to pin the image. I don't know exactly how ipfs pinning works, but ideally it would only be stored locally if it isn't already stored in at least N other locations. If the remote image doesn't match the local server's configuration, it could either be rejected or downloaded & processed (resized etc).
Serving ipfs-stored images that aren't replicated locally might also be slow, but I won't know for sure unless I actually try building this out.

I can only say "when it's ready." I think most of what I want to include in 0.4 is there, but I don't have a ton of time to work on it currently. I might see if I can get my last feature changes in this weekend, then it will be a matter of ensuring the 0.3 -> 0.4 upgrade is smooth, and that storage migration is solid

pict-rs doesn't keep track of how often it serves different images, so there's not a good metric for pruning old images. That said, 0.4 will introduce functionality for cleaning up processed images (e.g. resizes/thumbnails), removing their files & metadata. If they are viewed again, they will be re-generated.
0.4 will also include the ability to scale down images on upload, rather than storing the original resolution. This is not yet implemented, but it's on my roadmap.
All this said, it is already possible to use pict-rs with object storage (s3-compatible), rather than block storage. That's a good option if your hosting provider offers it
I've just published the stable version of pict-rs 0.3, and included a short write-up in the release description. Not much has changed since I posted about the betas, but check out the release anyway! - v0.3.0 changes: https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/releases/tag/v0.3.0 - v0.3.1 changes: https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/releases/tag/v0.3.1

what I noticed personally is that my pict-rs server had eaten 1,200MB of RAM, which is the limit I allowed that container. it was still working and it automatically restarted on crash so I didn't notice it oops
after I fixed the problem, my pict-rs server has been running at about 29MB for the last 12 hours. Significant improvement I'd say

Problem:
I gave tokio-console a buffer way too big
Fix:
Update pict-rs to at least v0.3.0-rc.7
, which doesn't enable console by default

how long does it take for pict-rs to use up this memory?
Hey all! Just wanted to share a little fun side project I've been working on recently. It's an ecosystem similar to smol for writing async rust code, but the internals make no use of `unsafe` at all ### repos: - `async-join`: a safe `join_all` function for `Vec<Future>` - `polldance`: a safe polling library built on unix `poll` with `rustix` for memory & io safety - `foxtrot`: a safe async reactor bulit on `polldance` and `rustix` - `jitterbug`: a safe async executor with multi-threaded work-stealing support I'm not here to say "you should definitely use this" because I've wirtten zero tests, and I've made no effort to implement standard apis like AsyncRead, AsyncWrite, etc, but I wanted to show it is possible to build these things yourself Shoutout to [rustix](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix) for making socket programming safe and easy

If you don't know what OpenTelemetry is but you're having OpenTelemetry errors in your logs, it likely means that you have an opentelemetry_url
set in your config when you shouldn't. You can get rid of the error by deleting that line, which will disable opentelemetry exports
asonix Now • 100%
Lemmy and pict-rs support optionally exporting opentelemetry spans, and setting up Jaeger to capture those is a nice way to manage traces without shipping data to third parties

i might try
let res = collection.into_iter().map(|item| item.fallible_operation()).fold(Ok(Vec::new()), |acc, res| {
match (acc, res) {
(Ok(mut vec), Ok(item)) => {
vec.push(item);
Ok(vec)
}
(Err(mut vec), Err(error)) => {
vec.push(error);
Err(vec)
}
(Ok(_), Err(error)) => Err(vec![error]),
(acc, _) => acc,
}
});
Maybe expand it with
pub trait Evert<T, E> {
fn evert(self) -> Result<Vec<T>, Vec<E>>;
}
impl<I, T, E> Evert<T, E> for I
where
I: IntoIterator<Item = Result<T, E>>,
{
fn evert(self) -> Result<Vec<T>, Vec<E>> {
self.into_iter().fold(/* implementation from above */)
}
}
fn main() {
let result = vec![Ok(1), Err(3), Ok(4), Err(8)].evert();
assert_eq!(result, Err(vec![3, 8]));
}

With these examples I think the correlation is a little loose. Dr Lutchmedial died two weeks after his third shot. Claiming the vaccine was a direct cause when the only available evidence is a two week timespan is weak.
The other example provided doesn't demonstrate harm caused by a vaccine. It sucks that a deadly virus is deadly, and it sucks that the vaccine didn't help in this case. It's not a good argument against getting a vaccine.

Hey all! I'm the developer of pict-rs, the image host API used by lemmy. I'm here to officially announce the availability of the pict-rs 0.3 beta releases. As I type this, v0.3.0-beta.3 is currently building and should be published to dockerhub shortly. Here's what's new # Api There are now APIs to fetch metadata about images. These endpoints are mentioned in pict-rs's README.md, but at a high level they can return mime-type, dimensions, and creation date for original or processed images The rest of the pict-rs APIs have not changed, so if you experience different behavior, please let me know in the [#pict-rs:matrix.asonix.dog](https://matrix.to/#/#pictrs:matrix.asonix.dog) channel on matrix. # Dependencies pict-rs no longer links against imagemagick, ffmpeg, and gexiv2. This change makes developing on pict-rs significantly easier, since it now compiles like a normal rust application with very few system dependencies. This also means it can be easily linked against the musl standard library to create a static executable. Instead of linking against the programs mentioned above, pict-rs will now spawn imagemagick, ffmpeg, and perl-image-exiftool processes in order to manipulate images. The required versions are - Imagemagick: At least 7.0 - ffmpeg: At least 4.0 - perl-image-exiftool: whatever Arch or Alpine are packaging right now # Files images are now organized into directories by default, and will no longer have original files dumped into the root of `files/`. If upgrading from 0.2, a migration script will attempt to move existing files from their current locations to this new structure. Please please please take a backup of your pict-rs storage directories before upgrading. # Configuration pict-rs now supports configuring the service with a file, rather than relying on commandline arguments or environment variables. The majority of settings can still be manipulated through the environment or through the commandline, but there is a specific feature (mentioned below) that can only be accessed through a configuration file. For information on configuring pict-rs, take a look at the [pict-rs.toml file](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/src/branch/main/pict-rs.toml) # Object Storage There is now object storage support built-in to pict-rs. If you already have a pict-rs deployment as part of your lemmy server, there is an included migration feature to help move from your existing block storage to object storage for the image files. This does not completely remove pict-rs dependency on a local filesystem, but all original images and transformed images will be stored in object storage rather than on the local filesystem. In particular, pict-rs database still resides on the local filesystem, and temporary files created when manipulating images will still use the /tmp directory. Object Storage has not been tested with any cloud provider, but I have set up a local [minio](https://min.io/) container for local testing. If you try to use pict-rs with your favorite cloud provider and it doesn't work, please let me know in the [#pict-rs:matrix.asonix.dog](https://matrix.to/#/#pictrs:matrix.asonix.dog) channel on matrix. If you are migrating from local storage to object storage, the specific way to accomplish that is with pict-rs's `--migrate-file <file>` flag, and the associated migration file. An example can be found [here](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/src/branch/main/migrate.toml) Finally, object-storage is behind a feature flag, and can be disabled in custom builds of pict-rs by providing the `--no-default-features` flag to cargo when building # io-uring Since actix-rt gained support for io-uring with 2.3.0, I have implemented an io-uring file backend for pict-rs. It is disabled by default, as io-uring requires a recent linux kernel release and I don't want to publish an application that doesn't work on most people's computers, but if you are interested in building and running an io-uring version of the application, you can pass `--features io-uring` to cargo to produce an io-uring backed binary rather than traditional blocking file IO. In my personal testing, io-uring performed significantly better for serving files on my laptop running linux kernel 5.13. Keep in mind that io-uring in the actix-web ecosystem is currently considered unstable and is therefore exempt from semver, so the io-uring feature in pict-rs should also be considered unstable. # Links That about wraps up this announcement! Here's some useful links for pict-rs: - git: https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs - matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#pictrs:matrix.asonix.dog - dockerhub: https://hub.docker.com/r/asonix/pictrs - asonix on mastodon https://masto.asonix.dog/@asonix
And it went really well. So far the only changes I noticed were the `web::block` error api (due the the use of tokio's spawn_blocking now instead of actix-threadpool), the move of Service's Request from being an associated type to a generic, the move to `insert_header` and `append_header`, and the inclusion of the correct `JsonPayloadError` so I don't need to depend on awc to get that type :) Here's what I've gotten done - [background-jobs-actix](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/background-jobs) updated to actix-rt 2.0.2 - [background-jobs-sled-storage](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/background-jobs) revived on actix-rt 2.0.2 - [actix-fs (unpublished)](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/actix-fs) updated to actix-rt 2.0.2 - [actix-webfinger](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/actix-webfinger) updated to actix-web 4.0.0-beta.3 - [actix-form-data](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/actix-form-data) updated to actix-web 4.0.0-beta.3 - [http-signature-normalization-actix](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/http-signature-normalization) updated to actix-web 4.0.0-beta.3 - [pict-rs](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs) updated to actix-web 4.0.0-beta.3 - [pict-rs-proxy](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs-proxy) updated to actix-web 4.0.0-beta.3 - [pict-rs-aggregator](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs-aggregator) updated to actix-web 4.0.0-beta.3 - [aode-relay](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/relay) updated to actix-web 4.0.0-beta.3 My current Big Project, Hyaenidae, has not been updated because actix-session doesn't yet have a beta release, but I'm keeping my eye out. One question I have about the Service API changing is: why. I'm interested to know if there's a specific benefit for moving Request to be a generic instead of an associated type. I don't deal with Service much outside of writing a few middlewares, so this change doesn't make a ton of sense to me.
I'm writing this to hopefully get the attention of [@dessalines@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines) or [@nutomic@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/u/nutomic) to let them know that I lost my database today, which means my gitea (where pict-rs is hosted) is down until I get a new database in place and upload the source again I think I'll have that up again this evening In related news I will not be on mastodon or matrix for a while
I've had mixed results trying to use Sway on my pinebook pro. Before I reflashed manjaro recently, Sway seemed to run alright, but now I get a perpetual black screen when trying to log into Sway. If I launch it from within my MATE environment it works fine.
