- switch from Discord Lilliput to ImageMagick & FFmpeg

- add video thumbnails
- make thumbnails permanent (should result in faster loading of thumbnails)
- remove exif/metadata from images
- make files more efficient (small amount of lossy compression to images, sorry, but Meower is a chat platform, so original quality isn't super important to most people)

+# Meower Uploads
+Meower Uploads is designed to be a high-performance files service for Meower.
+
+Public instance hosted at: https://uploads.meower.org
+
+
+### System Requirements
+Meower Uploads can use a fair amount of CPU and RAM. We recommend using a fairly modern CPU, with at least 4 threads and 4GB of dedicated RAM.
+
+Meower Uploads has only been tested on GNU/Linux. Meower Uploads uses utilities found in the [GNU core utilities](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils).
+
+Meower Uploads also requires [ImageMagick](https://imagemagick.org) and [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org) to be installed and accessible.
+
+No special codecs are required to be installed for Meower Uploads at this time, but this may change in the future.
+
+
+### Integration
+To integrate Meower Uploads with your existing Meower deployment, simply configure it to connect to your MongoDB database.
