I think I just decreased feed load times by about 40%.

A couple of weeks ago my 7yo daughter was up in our bedroom for a bit. My wife called up and asked her what she was doing:

"Just relaxing."

Of course she wasn't just relaxing. We went up later to find this:

She thought it was hilarious. Thankfully, the doll is hanging by her arm, not the neck. She's a well-adjusted kid with an odd sense of humor.

Imgur sucks, so I might be integrating this service for images: https://imgz.org/

Hmm... I think this is like when cats bring in birds and rodents and leave them on your bed. It’s a gift. A sign of love. Not disturbing at all....

What's hubski written in, if you don't mind me asking?

Your daughter rocks. So do imgz's pricing tiers. Imgur is bullshit - as long as I can still embed it like any other .jpg file I find on the web, I support your move to a less bullshit service.

I've been using put.re for a while now. IMGZ looks promising. These Imgur alternatives tend to be short lived, so it's nice to have a reserve one. Rest in peace eho.st.

Arc and Racket, so funky Lisp. The database is postgreSQL.

There's more optimization to be had. I'm just getting adequately refreshed to make sense of my previous efforts.
