Uploading a 6 MiB avatar returns “413 Request Entity Too Large”.

−1

When I upload a new avatar:

  1. #!/usr/bin/env pwsh
    Start-Process 'https://powerusers.codidact.com/users/edit/profile#user_avatar:~:text=user%20avatar-,Avatar,-An%20optional%20profile'
    
  2. #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
    (() => {
      const run = () => {
        const fileInput = document.querySelector('#user_avatar');
        const onChange = () => {
          if (fileInput.files && fileInput.files.length > 0) {
            document.querySelector('input.button').click();
          }
          fileInput.removeEventListener('change', onChange);
        };
        fileInput.addEventListener('change', onChange, { once: true });
        fileInput.click();
      };
      if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
        document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', run, { once: true });
      } else {
        run();
      }
    })();
    

…if the submitted file is ⪆ 4 MiB:

  1. #!/usr/bin/env sh
    mediainfo --Output=JSON "$HOME/JPEG.JPEG" | yq -P
    
  2. creatingLibrary:
      name: MediaInfoLib
      version: "25.10"
    media:
      '@ref': /home/RokeJulianLockhart/JPEG.JPEG

          transfer_characteristics: sRGB/sYCC
          extra:
            ColorSpace_ICC: RGB
            colour_primaries_ICC_Description: GIMP built-in sRGB
    

…the submission fails, with a nondescript error:

<html>

</body>
</html>

Instead, I should be informed that the image is too large, after which QPixel should allow me to re-upload a new avatar file.

If you really were trying to upload an avatar entirely from the terminal, there's not a lot we can do about the user-friendliness of the content returned - this isn't a supported way of interacting with the site. From a UI perspective, we should look at adding a caution pre-save.
