October 29, 20223 yr So I got another crazy idea, despite being sober What if it was possible to, when an image is stored on the array, a plugin or something automatically pulls it through an image minification process like imagemin? For those who might not know what this is: it's a process to further compress images without sacrificing quality (lossless recompression) and without losing metadata. In PNG it means to compress the image using a "stronger" compression, just like you can do with zip/7zip/rar and the likes. In JPEG a similar optimisation can be done, as well as in GIF, WebP and AVIF files (not sure though if imagemin specifically supports the latter two, but conceptually it could). I personally store a lot of PNG images on my server and for most I, or whoever created them, haven't bothered to pull them through a script like that. It's just too much hassle. But what if it could be done totally transparently? I'm thinking some kind of plugin would need to exist for this, but I don't know if it does - it's not easy to look for someting like that, as it's quite esoteric in a way, to do this on a NAS. Any thoughts on this? Edited October 29, 20223 yr by thany typo
