I tried to do this with an image heavy web artwork before but it needed a chunk of javascript to build a loader. Even though the overall MB size with javascript was smaller, I wanted to keep it accessible for non-JS users so opted for a disclaimer that says the page needs a little time to load.
Also I love this wonderful work of yours.

When the Gezi protests kicked off a decade ago, Turkish state TV showed a documentary about penguins while people were getting tear gassed and beaten by the police.
The gas masked penguin became the symbol of the protests, and I still have this guitar pick from back then.
It's ironic that as protests against an egomaniac autocrat kick off again in Turkey in 2025, the penguin has become symbolic of another egomaniac autocrat in the USA at exactly the same time.
wow I didn't know that about Turkey and nice parallel with the USA.
The penguin is also a symbol of environmentalism and linux. And a rags-to-riches antihero who rails against the capitalist vigilante Batman. Ticking all the right boxes really.

How to Increase Swap Space on Raspberry Pi

Thanks for posting your results. I usually configure some swap on my Linux hosts except for the Pi Zeroes running with the overlayfs. I'm thinking that using RAM for swap is just not a good idea.
OTOH I've been wondering if Zram would be good in that situation. I'm trying it on my laptop which has 16GB RAM and way too many open browser tabs.
