GIFs and WebM

[BigDunc'sFod]

Weird, today is the first time I've tried to upload or hyperlink a moving image for a long time like

https://giant.gfycat.com/AgitatedUnsightlyBubblefish.gif
Doesn't appear to hyperlink even though it's a gif:

Also, WebM are smaller, more compact versions of GIFs and allow audio, but there doesn't be a way to link them:

Finally, you can't direct embed a twitter video without it just posting the link to the tweet, which wasn't what I wanted to do (i.e. per the last part of this twitter article)

Any chance we can get one or more of these things working?

I honestly don't have a clue about the last one though. I stopped learning about web stuff in 2007 and havn't regretted that decision at all.

I got strange looks 10 years ago when I was messing with Python at my job...now you're the f'in man if you know it.

God, I hate the entire IT field at times. Better off starting your own business in a niche field than actually work for someone who hops trends every six months. Anyhow, I digress.

Thanks lad, already had enough slagging off on both side of the pond (Wife: you sound so SCOUSE now!, Family: CROSSWALK FFS??)

Oh didn't realise that externally hosted media still relied on the GOT Server performance

Danny will correct me if I'm wrong, but they're copied onto our proxy server for client performance reasons.
I could pretty to fully understand it, but I can't invoice for my time so I just shrug my shoulders and smile.

Funnily enough, that's exactly what I did.
