Bastard. Scum of the earth. Bane of my existence. Asshole.

So @Codarobo gave me an idea.

Here we go. Every load from an unique IP makes the image degrade. Every time a new unique IP loads it, the JPEG quality gets decremented by 1. When it reaches 10, the image gets copied onto a new canvas with 100 JPEG quality and it starts decrementing again.

If the server crashes and manages to restart itself, it will lose the list of unique IPs that already have loaded the file, and might corrupt the file irrecoverably. I might not restart the server if it happens. If I will, the file quality might get restored.

Only direct loads of the file count, Discord thumbnails will not work.

Let's see how many people are needed to OBLITERATE this TWINK.

UPD3: SERVER CRASHED lmao and re-used an intermediate compressed file. Fully resetting it, time to work it anew.

UPD4: I've put them side by side for now. The left is the final one I've seen on the run. The right is after the restart after crash.

🌟THE GOAL'S FINALLY REACHED TO THE END! Thank you all so much for helping us out again! All of yall who boosted and donated really did help us out and I'll always be grateful for that! MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 🌟

We're still currently in a hotel ever since we got evicted, and we did apply to a place almost a week ago and have been waiting for a word of it.

However, the price for a stay has been raised up, and it's almost at the point where it's gonna be a bit of a struggle to keep it going.

🚨UPDATE (2/9)🚨: So, we have to move out of the hotel we're in by tomorrow cuz it has been booked by someone else. Apparently there's a timing thing on how and when we're gonna pay it, and we didn't know about that. Fourtanately, we already planned out on another hotel we're going to and we're already packing stuff up. But it still sucks that it turned out this.

The goal amount is $3,500.

🌟$3,544/$3,500🌟

All boosting and donations are greatly appreciated!
