Rules

If you need an easy way to host pictures, https://catbox.moe/ may be an option. Be ethical about what you post and donate if you are able or use this a lot. It is just an individual hosting content, not a company. The image embedding syntax for Lemmy is ![](URL)

I have a Steam Deck, Switch lite with grip, Anbernic 351v, and Gameboy advance (The non clamshell one) that I want to store in my drawer, but also want to keep them tidy, well displayed, and unharmed at the same time.

I was thinking to 3d print insterts/molds of the consoles that I can just slip them in and out of, and was wondering what the easiest way to accomplish that would be.

Also, I tried to upload pictures but kept getting an error.

Well, someone's gotta pay for all the bandwidth somehow.

considers

Honestly, maybe that'd be a way for instances to provide some kind of "premium" service. Like, provide larger upload limits for people who donate. I assume that the instance admins don't have any ideological objections to larger images, just don't want to personally pay out-of-pocket for huge bandwidth and storage bills.

goes looking

I believe that this is the backend used by Lemmy, pict-rs:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html

Lemmy supports image hosting using pict-rs. We need to install a couple of dependencies for this.

It looks like it only has one global size setting, so probably can't do that today.

Could also host one's images on an off-site image hosting thing, but then you don't benefit from integration with the uploading UI. I guess another option would be for Lemmy to provide some sort of integration with an off-site image-hosting service, so that a user could optionally use all the Lemmy features seamlessly, but just have your client or browser make use of your off-site account.
