By the time you read this article, most of the images on this site, except for some logos, thumbnails, and icons (which I personally think are unsuitable), have been converted from png, jpg, WebP to AVIF. AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a high-efficiency image format based on AV1 encoding, open and royalty-free. It is currently the best balance of 'compression efficiency + modern features + open ecosystem,' significantly superior to traditional formats such as JPEG, WebP, and PNG. In simpler terms: it saves bandwidth, loads faster for users, and may be beneficial for SEO.

While browsing news, I saw that Blender Studio released a free game called Dogwalk. I tried it on Steam, walking a dog around on a map, but I didn't understand it and didn't have the patience to finish it. This gave me the idea to use Godot to make a game.

Recently, while researching, I discovered a transparent proxy called dae, also known as 'Big Goose' (or 'Eating Goose' in Chinese). Compared to sing-box, v2ray, etc., it's based on Linux eBPF.

Yesterday, when I was using Gallery-DL to batch download images, I still felt it wasn't convenient enough. I remembered when I used Airflow to back up data for the systems I wrote at the company; I could send the backup results via Lark, and I could rest easy every day.

Suppose you're a fan of a celebrity, or simply infatuated with a certain female idol on Twitter, or a sports fan who endlessly loops Jordan videos, or simply want to learn and enrich your extracurricular life. Then you'll definitely have a need to batch download images (including videos). Don't tell me you click them one by one. I didn't have this need very strongly before, until one day I discovered that someone I liked had quit the internet, maybe they were banned, or maybe they sold their account, or maybe they simply stopped playing.
