I converted into a GIF, but somehow the file size increased from 4 to 120 MB š„“
So, here's the video :)

Gif is an ancient format, mp4 is something like 30 years newer, so file sizes are much smaller in mp4. Most "gif" files you see are in fact not actually gif files. "gif" has become a synonym for "short duration looped video"

I didn't realize that, I would have assumed gifs, being a simpler format, would be smaller
Thank you for teaching me something! š

Gifs have a compressed look to them because it's quite limited in number of colours it can have. But gifs are ~acrually uncompressed~ barely compressed lossless images, similar to .bmp (bitmaps).
Edit: Clarified GIFs are actually compressed, just lossless.

GIF does do some mild compression (with an algorithm from 1984). But the compression is lossless like bitmap, if that's what you mean...

Thanks for pointing it out. I forgot if they were actually compressed or not.

Compressing files efficiently is hard to achieve, that's why the newer formats will produce a smaller file size. As you said, gif is a simpler format, therefore it is less advanced at compressing file size

In particular, GIF is just a bundle of images with generic file compression slapped on top. MP4 and similar instead analyze the frames and only store the differences compared to the previous frame.

That plonk sound. Just as satisfying as when you hear it on the loo.

fucking get it. get it you sonafabitch get it
He fucking got it, did you see that?
Maybe they can help you on your balcony!
Thatās amazing. Did the buggy get there on its own or did you help?
I don't think so, because there are so many that are attracted by other things, such as honeydew.
But I have a Sarracenia out there!

It wasn't really happy until now, but once it acclimatises, it might catch a few ants and maybe wasps?
My nepenthes is indoor only, because I'm afraid I might introduce pests to my other houseplants when I have to bring it indoors over winter.
I had to help a bit š
I put the bug onto the plant itself, but it crawled in there on its own.
My neps are still learning to walk. They've been fed synthetic fertiliser up until now, and they yet have to develop their hunting instincts :D
Bon appƩtit !
