I recently updated my Hugo site to encrypt all images on disk and display them as monochrome, dithered images (like [Low-tech Magazine](https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/)). I wound up implementing a very simple image server and using `resources.GetRemote` to pull in the dithered images. It works really well! I documented the process here:

Very interesting, thank you. I am also looking for a way to dither my images on my little blog.

The next release, probably within the next week or so, includes a dithering image filter.
