The best thing to do ist upload less video. Use #Av1 for high bandwith high demand streaming.

And mainly use your personal hardware longer and if you can less devices. If you can 7 years. 15 would be great.

The new feature in mastodon to support #heif pictures also can help a lot.

#avif as the open source counterpart would also be great

How does #AVIF compressed image look (and how big it is) based on selected quality?

A picture is worth a thousand words and video is worth $LENGTH * $FPS pictures, so here it is:

I've been doing some #AVIF vs. #JpegXL low bitrate comparison (to save space for low-bandwidth image transmission).

When setting AVIF to "worst quantizer", that's when JpegXL just starts to heat up. E.g. sample original 56KB JPEG compresses (lowest quality) to 5KB on AVIF vs. just 1.7KB on JpegXL (the image looks like rubbish but that's not the point in this exercise, it still looks waaaay better than JPG).

I need to explore the parameter space, it can't be that AVIF "can't compress" better...
