Muchos libros de texto en epub son bastante pesados, lo que hace imposible enviarlos al kindle desde el email por superar los 50MB.

He encontrado un script de bash que permite una compresión rápida y bastante aceptable. En mi caso ha funcionado perfectamente con calidad y redimensionado del 60%, tal y como se ve en la imagen. Ha pasado un epub de un libro de más de mil páginas con más de 200 imágenes de 74 a 37MB.

2/2 I also tested the impact of compression levels and I can say, it is not worth the CPU to go beyond the default #zstd level of 3. Base64 encoded mail attachments do not compress very well. This way it is fast and reliable.

To move the mailbox to the new server, I just resynced the newly creates maildir:username@domain.tld and configured the new dovecot similarly for compression and access.

Voila!

1/2 I had to move my #mail server and wanted to use #compression. The docs are, as often, not really helpful. Ultimately, after some testing the best way to do it is, as in a side note in the #dovecot docs, to use "doveadm". First configure to use zlib globally in mail_plugins and configure it to use zstd with the default level. Then just do

doveadm -v -o maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=no backup -u username maildir:user@domain.tld

🚀 Compute Bigger with Cat2Cloud Compression! 🗜️

In this third video, we explore lazy expressions 😴—a compression-native tool to optimize operations ➕✖️➗ on your data using the Cat2Cloud web client. 🌐

💡 With lazy expressions, you can decompress and compute data only when needed, saving time and resources! ⏱️

> "... it is important to note that the compression algorithm used by lzip only discards the unimportant data. And if it was unimportant before, what makes it so important now? Huh? In fact, many users may find that compressing their entire file system and then restoring it will be a good way to learn what is truly important."

Brand new PEP by @emmatyping to add Zstandard to the standard library:
peps.python.org/pep-0784/

Will it make it in to 3.14 before the feature freeze on 2025-05-06? It'll be close but it's possible!

The PEP also suggests namespacing the other compression libraries lzma, bz2 and zlib, with a 10-year deprecation for the old names.
