The whole "size" thing is something from computing in the 1980s. Not
relevant today (even less tomorrow).
I don't agree in that particular point, since file sizes increased
nearly as fast as the speed of the connections and the transfer limits
of providers - modern cameras produce huge pictures both in resolution
and quality. But since you suggest a linking solution we could combine
this with a technical enforcement, just as the wiki already does -
server computing capacity is another thing that got cheaper, so resizing
and, if that's not enough, forcing a better jpg compression should be no
problem, and most people won't even notice the visual loss from reducing
to 70% jpg quality.
meanwhile i'm bracing for another frosty night - after a very warm late
march with occasional 25°C, last night's -3°C were devastating. Most
potted bulbs are safe back in the garage, which is filled with the scent
of Gladiolus tristis right now. but out in the open, it's heartbreaking:
lilacs and plume poppy, Hosta, Hibiscus syriacus, Buddleja, the Kiwis
and Zanthoxylum share various shades of brown, let's hope night 2 will
not add more to that list.
