Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

It's the future – you can stop using JPEGs
Would be interesting to see how all those jpegs fared if run though ECT (https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool). I’ve found it can save a surprising amount of space sometimes.

How to make the most out of my storage
Ah, I misunderstood you there, yes you can build it from source but there are also Windows binaries available on https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool/releases/

Possible support for new image formats
Did you think about adding support for newer image formats? Video shouldn't be a problem because you already support .mkv and AV1 works within it. How would implementation work? Does ES-DE use libraries from the OS and makes this support easier for that? My biggest gripe are those big .png files. I optimized them with ect but it won't be as good as newer formats can be.

OptiPNG vs. PNGcrush vs. Gimp to Reduce PNG Size
There are a myriad of PNG (and in general DEFLATE) optimizers and pingo hosts its own benchmark [1]. I believe ECT [2] is the only tool comparable to pingo in terms of compression ratio and speed. But pingo still lacks a license statement and it's even unclear whether you can use this for any purpose at all, probably because it is still "experimental", so if you don't like that you can try ECT instead.
> One thing I didn't check is that you might pay that in decoding time, I've never seen anybody talking about that though.
PNG and in general DEFLATE-based formats are mostly free from this concern because they are comparably simple. The maximum "overhead" you can intentionally trigger is a very large LZ77 window and a very deep Huffman tree; the former is however capped to 32 KB in DEFLATE, and the latter will mostly result in an inferior compression (a long prefix code means a larger file).

Friendly reminder for anyone making HD texture packs: run your PNGs through OptiPNG first.
I personally prefer ECT, since that gave me the best results when I tested it several years ago.

Best quality .png?
ECT is the new stuff that is much faster and more efficient than zofpli

Open source Image compression app? [Win10]
Efficient Compression Tool Basically the best FOSS for lossless compression for .png and .jpeg, although not the quickest.

image turned green after using cjxl(version 0.3.2) options were -q 100
I get the same issue. However, it seems that using ECT on the images fixes the issue: https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool

Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing:
- FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features)
- Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/)
Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite.

Ask HN: Best useful tools that are helpful in your business?
We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background.

LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement.
Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?
I have used both for a number of years already.

Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?
I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/.
After minimal setup, it just works(tm).
You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup").
I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. windows -> linux, linux -> mac)
For windows I usually recommend https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor, but vanilla syncthing works fine too (but don't try to mix them!)

Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client.

One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice. I've seen stack up on large media or with the structure of cloud services pricing making it expensive depending on how your workflow is setup with inside and outside parties. For example, Dropbox deduction from all parties' storage limits not just the sharer.
You can also point Syncthing at a local sync of Dropbox or Google drive and then forward the files to other recipients from that for some purposes.

Obsidian 1.5 Desktop (Public)
I think sync is a non-feature, as you can just ride on your existing solution.
For example, I use syncthing [1] with Obsidian to sync files off-cloud.

What do you use to write your fan fictions?
When I was 14 and just getting started, I used Notepad. Upgraded to Wordpad when I realized I loved putting italics in every other sentence, moved to Google Docs at around 25 when I started writing on my phone and wanted to sync with my computer, finally moved to Obsidian a few months ago (with Syncthing for syncing) when I decided I don't want to live in Google's house where they can burn my stuff down whenever they want.
What are some alternatives?
caesium-image-compressor - Caesium is an image compression software that helps you store, send and share digital pictures, supporting JPG, PNG and WebP formats. You can quickly reduce the file size (and resolution, if you want) by preserving the overall quality of the image.
