I couldn't replicate it using my wife's iPhone 14. She wasn't logged in though (not "on here"), wonder if that makes a difference.

Also, the laser cutter will give you burnt edges on the leather that you'll probably want to remove, and I expect it will also impart a strong smoky aroma that will be difficult to remove.

I have a Cricut that was mentioned before. I've never tried it with leather but it would only be able to handle pretty thin leather I'd expect. I'd probably recommend a Silhouette over a Cricut anyway. Cricut's software is awful and their business practices are predatory.

If you can find a local maker space, you can probably try all these things out, and talk to a bunch of people with a lot more knowledge than me.

I'm pretty late to the laser cutter party, but I just wanted to chime in with the standard warning about proper ventilation.

You'll need an exhaust system that vents the fumes outdoors.

Only some types of plastic can be safely cut with a laser; cutting PVC gives off hydrochloric acid (amongst other toxic gasses) which will corrode your optics, and even 'safe' materials like wood can give off carbon monoxide.

I found this, specifically about leather:

Genuine leather can be safely laser cut or engraved, but ensure that
if it has been tanned then it is “veg-tanned” otherwise it will have
been treated with chromium salts that will release dangerous particles
when laser engraved.

Materials that cannot be laser cut or engraved:

Artificial Leather containing Hexavalent Chromium (Cr[VI])

Sorry about that. It's all automated, and yours got overlooked because of the #repetition / #repeat thing. I usually pick up problems when I come to place my vote (e.g. I manually added the post from @Simpson which was missing the hashtag) but I totally missed your one I'm afraid.

If it happens again, always feel free to just amend the list

I understand what you're saying, but there are better ways of achieving what you want than embedding 6.6GB of images in a thread, (some of which are up to 10k pixels wide), just in case someone decides they want to open an image in a new tab.

For context, Google photos, flickr, 500px, Facebook, imgur; none of them offer unlimited original size image hosting for free.*

* maximum rep to boss man and all lufguss donors

Image chat.

Not that anyone was asking, but I took a quick look at the digital photography thread (because it's probably the worst-case scenario - lots of high resolution uploaded images), and what I found was this:

About 5k images, totalling 6.6GB. Average file size 1.4MB, average dimensions: 2700x2300px

The site displays images at a max horizontal resolution of 762px, and resizing all images to a maximum of this, brings that 6.6GB total down by 8.3x to 796MB, improves loading times of course, but also allows stripping sensitive GPS information.

Largest image by dimension was 10824x6834px, largest image by filesize was 29MB

I don't know the size of images.

You know what I mean. You have the information, and you could use it if you wanted to, you're just choosing not to. Baking the dimensions into the html can be done (3rd party images notwithstanding).

the browser determines the space to allocate by loading the image

That's fine. You'd use a combination of max-width and aspect-ratio, so the placeholder would have the correct dimensions before the image is downloaded and rendered.

But let's back ourselves out of this cul de sac.

Although the above can be done, it's largely irrelevant because modern browsers are good at maintaining viewport position.

The reason I mentioned lazy loading is because it would spread out an otherwise big memory hit, and might allow a struggling kernel a little more time to free up some memory.

But again, that's irrelevant, because I expect the effect would actually me pretty minimal, and down-scaling uploaded images is really the only way to reduce memory and bandwidth usage.

But that's probably irrelevant too because, as you say the problem has only been reported once in X years.

If I add lazy loading, the act of jumping to a comment is to scroll past all previous content... trigger the loading of all images... and move the comment you were wanting to view downwards as each prior comment loaded.

Are you doing something weird with JavaScript, because modern browsers are very good at maintaining viewport position while assets load around it.

And how does lazy loading make a difference in this scenario? You're still going to jump to a comment half way down the page, and then wait for the preceding assets to load.

Regardless, you know the dimensions of the images because you store them on your server. You can bake the dimensions into your generated HTML so there's no jank at all
