Good afternoon, I tried to have an image in a README.md using markdown syntax and 
base64 encoded embedded image

![alt](png-link)
![alt](data:image/png;base64,base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(imgBytes))

Note `base64` is a go package. Both attempts were not successful. Both images have < 30KB.
I wonder now if that is intentional? I resorted to sourcehut sides but the traffic I 
generated with that was for sure bigger.  Hence I don't really understand. Any clarification 
on that matter would be appreciated.

All the best Stephan

Easiest solution would be to embed the base64 code into the file 
directly, or, if you really want it dynamically pulled from a file, you 
could write a script that writes it directly into a file, and have it 
run from builds.sr.ht

the manual page on the git service[1] also says that you can define a 
custom README file within which you can use HTML, and though I am not 
sure if it can pull an image elsewhere from the repo, I see no reason 
why it shouldn't.

Try providing an absolute site URL, if project relative filepath doesn't 
work.
