The only bypass I'm aware of is chromium browsers have something that forces some sort of .png request, or it used to. When I tried it a few months ago I had issues.
There was an extension that did it in firefox, too, but when I tried it a year ago it was broken.
Or maybe I need a plugin so I can actually open WEBP files...

How the heck does PNG filesize work? More color variation means its larger? 4.31MB for this seems pretty crazy and it seems like I shouldn't be doing this in 1080p unless it's a BD.
Average size for the episode seemed to be around 2.3MB and lowest was 1.2MB. I imagine a PNG optimizer would work well, but I'd need to download one because the web-based ones don't work well.

You can use about:config to remove accept webp from your request headers which will make 99% of non-shit websites serve you a jpeg instead of webp which is very useful when saving images that you want to repost elsewhere.

PNG works well with blocks of solid color and repeated patterns, and there's not much of that in this image. You can still get some lossless compression from the fact that slow color gradients are more common than fast color gradients. Pic related is my crude estimate of the most expensive parts of the image. Encoding the fine details of the trees in the background uses a lot of data.

My recommendation is to just buy based on size and not get a screened tablet. Resolution is way too much than you'd ever need on most tablets, pressure sensitivity is important just to have.

I'm thinking I need to bulk download thousands of images from boorus again for the background switcher program I opened the "cool software" thread with.
Do you guys have any recommendations for tags to use so that I wouldn't need to manually remove lower quality stuff as much? Some sites like danbooru have filters like voted score, but I can't remember how to do that one and that's heavily biased towards the oldest stuff. Danbooru itself seems like a bad idea because you can only have two tags unless you pay them, and I definitely want to remove grayscale stuff and explicit so I don't even have room for other things.

Looks like konachan is split into a 'safe' version so I could use that, yeah. konachan does seem to have a basic quality control thing in place like danbooru. Looks good. Though, the benefit of something like gelbooru is that it's democratic with user scores, so maybe a combination of them would be best.

>>97391
Thanks. I never thought of background tags, but it could help prevent images with the plain white background, huh? It would be great if there wasn't so much white in the images, like what I have going on here right now.
Though, this program does let you designate a folder for the 'background' image and in theory I could clean up the plain backgrounds with photoshop's magic wand tool so that the background is transparent instead. Takes a lot of time to through so many images, though.

>>97392
It does work with the negative tags, I.E
"touhou -explicit" will give me touhou tags without the explicit tag. So I COULD use the Mewkledreamy tag. But, not all tags are appropriated applied at all times so it requires some cleanup.

My computer chair is starting to become more and more unusable, but it makes me wonder... how on Earth do you find the right kind of computer chair these days?
So, I would hop on some sites and browse around, but.. uhh... chairs are a personal preference thing dependent on your height and how you prefer to sit and stuff.

Not a stupid question per se, but where does one go for doujin music these days? Particiuarly remixes and covers of stuff.

Is anyone able to tell me what is going on here? Why is it that when I'm using 11gb of RAM in Stable Diffusion I'm risking an out of memory computer crash? I add up all the programs in task manager it only adds up to like 14gb and it's pushing the limit despite my system having 32gb.
Is this some dual channel thing that means I can't actually use 32gb? What the heck is going on? I've never actually made much use of RAM until now apparently so I never bothered to look...

 No.114748

>>114747
you might be needing so much memory that its going into the swap file
the other day i had some browser tab in firefox suffer a memory leak and rapidly use up memory but my task manager was saying that no particular program was using a lot of memory when sorting it by memory usage as in your pic. I clicked over to the Performance tab and saw that the memory usage AND the disk usage was near 100%. I think this means the swap file was being used heavily. When this happens you have what is called thrashing as the memory used by programs gets shuffled between the swap file and the RAM, killing the performance of the whole computer. Is your computer running massively slowly in this circumstance?
(also how are you at 3% disk throughput when you have something writing 240 MB/s)

File:Taskmgr_UEiOsZgz4C.png (52.3 KB,982x790)

>>114748
Yeah, memory leak or cache thing might be the problem I think. Looking at the resource thing you mentioned, I guess it IS showing almost full RAM usage.

>(also how are you at 3% disk throughput when you have something writing 240 MB/s)

I don't know? I wonder if it's fluke because it doesn't usually show 3%. It's an SSD thing that snaps into the motherboard (forgot what those were called) and the capacity is 1.8TB so I've converted it into being the AI processing drive. These checkpoint files that I'm combining and shuffling are around 3-6gb each (two used at once). I read almost a year ago that this AI stuff can be hard on drives so the only thing on it is AI stuff since it's lifespan might not be as long as it should.
Maybe this thing is just wildly inaccurate, but I have indeed been having computer crashes so maybe the numbers are wrong but the warning highlights to show high usage are correct.

Hmm... I guess I'll buy some RAM. I still have 2 slots and it's DDR4 or something when the most recent is DDR5 so it should probably be cheap... I hope.

I've noticed this before as well. The real answer is that Task Manager does not show the real memory usage of all processes. Some are inaccurate, other processes don't show up at all. Noticed this when using PrimoCache to create a RAM disk for caching files and its usage did not show up at all.

Does anyone know of a good way to clean out hard drives of unused/old stuff? I just realized that Stable Diffusion had 5gb of temporary image files that it failed to delete, but I only found them by accident. Windows 10 does have a cool thing that shows you folder sizes and you can use something like 'Anything' to search for stuff and sort by filesize, but there's still a lot of junk floating around on my drives after years of existence.
Doing this manually is really exhausting.
