Big Oil Drops Renewable Goals, Expands Fossil Fuels
Tik Root, Staff Writer - truthdig | Grist

Dang it! I ran into import cycles with shared test utilities again. :-( Either I have to copy this function to set up an in-memory test storage across packages or I have to put it in the storage package itself and guard it with a build tag that is only used in tests (otherwise I end up with this function in my production binary as well). I don't like any of the alternatives. :-(

re reading so NewRAMStorage(…) is just something that setups your storage and initial data.. that can probably live with storage/sqlite. The point is the storage package does not import the implementations of storage.Storage It just defines the contract for things that use that interface. Now storage/sqlite CAN import storage and not have a circle dep.
It kinda works in reverse for import directions. usually you have your root package that imports things from deeper in the directory structures.. but for the case of interfaces it reverses where the deeper can import from parents but parents cannot import from children.

My usual method is slow, place in image program and re-save it smaller.
⤋ Read More
@off_grid_living@twtxt.net No right click thing, but in the terminal:
convert -strip -quality 70 -resize 300x original.jpg resized.jpg
“original.jpg” being the filename of the input file and “resized.jpg” the filename of the output. You can play around with the width, “300x” means 300 pixels wide and the height is determined automatically to still remain in the same ratio. The quality is how much to compress it. The closer to 0 the value gets, the worse the result, but also smaller in file size. More towards 100 and the quality improves together with a larger file size.
You have to install the package “imagemagick” for this to work, I believe.
