Expansion opportunities

Could we build a web-based service that acts like an FTP browser for the internet?

Yes you could, but ftp:// links still won't be clickable, which kills the discovery aspect. :: sadblob ::

Funny enough, that's the camera OP used to take the pictures in the floppy-disk hosted blog!

I'm a big fan OP, cool project!

Just tested on Tahoe 26.1 and it's still happening as he described.

I’ve been getting an increasing number of SendGrid-themed phishing emails lately, but this one was easily the most creative.

Rejected. Next!

Cool. Good luck with your tourism industry. Viva la Mexico!

"Excuse me, what is the required amount of social media activity to enter the US?"

I get it, but I’ve never really bought into the idea that Apple optimizes for the environment out of pure altruism.

The amount of time I've spent dealing with this over the years is just incredible.. It's gotten to the point where during ingestion we auto-rotate everything just in case and strip out exif orientation metadata and never have to deal with it again.

This is the correct approach in my opinion. Metadata should not be used to control rotation - there are just too many edge cases for where it can go wrong.

Yes, came to the same conclusion - it's a pain, but solves the problem permanently.

EXIF orientation has always been a massive pain to deal with. Specially with HEIC that keeps getting updated libheifs and causing all sorts of compatibility issues.

The fact that it's nicely commented is even more so. Check out the other environment configs commented out, are they doing this by hand? Wild.
