Desktop customizations, a good way to self-quarantine...
Please use thumbnails. Do not embed images larger than approx 250x250px (62,500px) into posts, use thumbnails linking to a hosted image instead. Thanks!
Various online free image hosts are available, such as Imgur, imgbb, freeimage.host, scrot.cloud etc.
Use the following BB code for posting please:
[url=<url of full size image>][img]<url of thumbnail>[/img][/url]
** Update for Imgur users **
Imgur only provides the link to the full image, but just add "t" to the name to get a thumbnail link, and the filename extension eg:
[url=https://i.imgur.com/7S2EJEg.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/7S2EJEgt.png[/img][/url]
^ ^
Imgur also provides a variety of thumbnail sizes, and the linked BBCode, in the image "View and edit" screen.
Sizes: Original · Small Square · Big Square · Small Thumbnail · Medium Thumbnail · Large Thumbnail · Huge Thumbnail
Repeat: To get the linked direct image you need make sure to add the file extension to the url. Their recommended BB code doesn't really convey this properly.
Once again when choosing a thumbnail size please keep in mind our approx 250x250px (62,500px) thumbnail file size constraints.
Stay safe, everyone!

Hmm, @Dobbie03 missed the memo. Cross-posting for him...

I miss my family. This lockdown sucks."
Perspective is everything. As a confirmed anarchist who's being forced to sit in front of a computer, an electric violin and a bicycle in a pretty city with great weather that appears abandoned...

Oh my bad, forgot Aussies are from the future!
Poor Dobbie03...hopefully there's a light at the end of the tunnel for him

I don't think "sir" is a word in the Australian vernacular. You should be using "cobber" or "mate".
Yes NZ is well away from Australia.
I'm a shut-in anyway and I really don't spend time outside of my family. Mainly because, I don't like people.
What I am struggling with is not being able to see my extended family, my Mum, Dad. My sisters and brother. My nieces and nephews. I come from a particularly close family and not being able to physically see them outside a video call is tough.
Saying that though, it's a small price to pay to keep them safe.

Agree, but due to very low-end hardware i'll lose some mouse/gui/menu faster response with compton running. I have saved some compton settings from openbox+tint2 tho.
Thank you, same to your configs. As always good work with those fine GTK themes.
Cheers and Congrat everyone for your tweaks.

I very much appreciate people posting direct image links:
Did you know that you can open those directly with e.g. feh?

Me too, i'd like to check the images as direct link instead of click here or there. I always do direct link to my scrots thanks to flickr host.
Sorry, have no idea or script how to open images of Web instantly via FEH. I haven't thought of such to say, Been using FEH for years.
The thought is interesting and would be even more interesting if realized.
From my file manager i use those two simple bash-script:
# open image with single click
#!/bin/sh
feh -F --title "%N" "$(dirname "$1")" --start-at "$1" --font ~/.fonts/iosevka-term-medium/10 --menu-font ~/.fonts/iosevka-term-medium/10 --menu-bg ~/.scripts/titlebg.jpg --draw-exif
# open images as thumbnail mode
#!/bin/sh
feh -NXE 225 -y 168 -W 1680 --font ~/.fonts/iosevka-term-medium/0 --menu-font ~/.fonts/iosevka-term-medium/10 --menu-bg ~/.scripts/tilebg.jpg --title "Thumbnail Mode" --thumbnail --action "feh -F --menu-bg ~/.scripts/titlebg.jpg --font ~/.fonts/iosevka-term-medium/10 --menu-font ~/.fonts/iosevka-term-medium/10 %f -F -Z -x -q -D 50 . --draw-exif"
# Sets background image for desktop view via WM or .xinitrc
feh --randomize --bg-scale ~/pictures/*
I only have these from FEH. BTW Feh rocks!
