Earlier this year we’ve been asked to help redesign the website of lowtechmagazine.com. The primary goal of the redesign was to radically reduce the energy use associated with accessing their web content. At the same time it is an attempt to find out what a low-tech website could be.

In general the idea behind lowtechmagazine.com is to understand technologies and techniques of the past and combine them with the knowledge of today. Not in order to be able to ‘do more with the same’, but rather ‘to do the same with less’.

Dither it!: a web application for dithering images

What is Dithering?

Dithering is a method for trying to make an image look good while reducing the number of colors it uses, or as wikipedia puts it:

Dithering is used in computer graphics to create the illusion of "color depth" in images with a limited color palette - a technique also known as color quantization. In a dithered image, colors that are not available in the palette are approximated by a diffusion of colored pixels from within the available palette. The human eye perceives the diffusion as a mixture of the colors within it (see color vision). Dithered images, particularly those with relatively few colors, can often be distinguished by a characteristic graininess or speckled appearance.

For more information, see this list of dithering resources from around the web: explainers, algorithms, examples, etc.

About this site

Dither it! is built by Alex Harris.

It was inspired by a blog post from Low-tech Magazine about how to reduce the energy usage associated with running websites. One method discussed was to reduce full color images to dithered images with very few colors and subsequently smaller file sizes. Ensuing discussion clarified that there are other, more modern ways to compress images (try Squoosh) which achieve reduced file sizes while maintaining color. Nonetheless, dithering is a fun technique that looks cool and is interesting to learn about.

The Dither it! source code is freely available on the Dither it! Github page. Please feel free to contribute, share or pilfer.

Thanks to Leon Sorokin, for making RgbQuant.js and Don for making vue-color.

Est-il vrai que l’avion n’est responsable que de 3% des Ă©missions mondiales de CO2, soit moins que le numĂ©rique ? – vert.eco

Le transport aĂ©rien est l’un des secteurs les plus pointĂ©s du doigt en raison de son impact environnemental. Mais alors que les Ă©missions de gaz Ă  effet de serre liĂ©es au numĂ©rique explosent, celles-ci deviennent une excuse pour ne pas se prĂ©occuper de l’aviation, qui serait plus vertueuse en comparaison. Un amalgame fallacieux.

How to Build a Low-tech Website? | LOW←TECH MAGAZINE

Our new website is designed to radically reduce the energy use associated with accessing our content.

Low-tech Magazine was born in 2007 and has seen minimal changes ever since. Because a website redesign was long overdue — and because we try to practice what we preach — we decided to build a low-tech, self-hosted, and solar-powered version of Low-tech Magazine. The new blog is designed to radically reduce the energy use associated with accessing our content.

Adding ALT text to article thumbnails on social media | Stefan Bohacek
thumbnail

If you’ve been running your own personal website or a blog for a while, you are likely familiar with the og:image and twitter:image meta tags that let you specify an image that will be shown when you or someone else shares a link to your site or an article on social media.

Did you also know that there are accompanying meta tags that let you provide alt text for this image?

That would be og:image:alt and twitter:image:alt.
