What's the easiest way to make inserts to keep my handhelds tidy in my drawer? (lemm.ee)

I have a Steam Deck, Switch lite with grip, Anbernic 351v, and Gameboy advance (The non clamshell one) that I want to store in my drawer, but also want to keep them tidy, well displayed, and unharmed at the same time.

I was thinking to 3d print insterts/molds of the consoles that I can just slip them in and out of, and was wondering what the easiest way to accomplish that would be.

Also, I tried to upload pictures but kept getting an error.

Image upload limit is 500kb per image

Cripes. I'd dissolve like the Wicked Witch of the West.

Well, someone's gotta pay for all the bandwidth somehow.

considers

Honestly, maybe that'd be a way for instances to provide some kind of "premium" service. Like, provide larger upload limits for people who donate. I assume that the instance admins don't have any ideological objections to larger images, just don't want to personally pay out-of-pocket for huge bandwidth and storage bills.

goes looking

I believe that this is the backend used by Lemmy, pict-rs:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html

Lemmy supports image hosting using pict-rs. We need to install a couple of dependencies for this.

It looks like it only has one global size setting, so probably can't do that today.

Could also host one's images on an off-site image hosting thing, but then you don't benefit from integration with the uploading UI. I guess another option would be for Lemmy to provide some sort of integration with an off-site image-hosting service, so that a user could optionally use all the Lemmy features seamlessly, but just have your client or browser make use of your off-site account.
