Techrights-secotr: IRC is way off the topic of techAug 26 08:36
schestowitz-TR2yes, irc was bad yesterday and the day beforeAug 26 08:39
schestowitz-TR2busynut noisyAug 26 08:39
schestowitz-TR2*busy butAug 26 08:39
schestowitz-TR2now I need to talk to that nazi about his weird viewsAug 26 08:39
schestowitz-TR2seems societal breakdown means mental health crisis tooAug 26 08:39
schestowitz-TR2and that means a lot of professional/exprert debate becomes politicial and whacky in natureAug 26 08:39
Techrights-secackAug 26 08:39
schestowitz-TR2just my observation anywayAug 26 08:39
schestowitz-TR2it'll gewt worse in the coming yearsAug 26 08:39
schestowitz-TR2lockdowns already exposed many adults to BS on sites like youtube Aug 26 08:39
schestowitz-TR2the re-programming makes society less functional and less cohesiveAug 26 08:39
schestowitz-TR2I joked with rianne yesterday afternoon that this past week (or few days) we got an influx of 99-helplineAug 26 08:51
Techrights-sectrue enoughAug 26 09:03
Techrights-secthinking about the incron failure, I'm not sure of a way around it at theAug 26 09:08
Techrights-secmoment even after resting the problem for a while.  There is always theAug 26 09:08
Techrights-secoption of running the script manually but that, I tbink, is an unnecessaryAug 26 09:08
Techrights-secand annoying step.Aug 26 09:08
schestowitz-TR2the way I do it now is, I am stationed at Features, wget the image, then plant the filename alone in the template I alkready haveAug 26 09:09
schestowitz-TR2it does not take longAug 26 09:09
schestowitz-TR2the annoying part is sometimes removing trailing spyware with chars that wget does not likeAug 26 09:09
schestowitz-TR2e.g.  logo.jpg?salkdskjfkjdbfjkdsbkdsbfkdj#somesurveillanceshitAug 26 09:09
Techrights-secthe resizing script is a in perl so it would be trivial to add the abilityAug 26 09:33
Techrights-secto rename the files without the spying query trailing the URLAug 26 09:33
Techrights-secdo the URLs you fetch from end up with a pound sign # in the name, too?Aug 26 09:33
Techrights-secCan that even happen, in your workflow?Aug 26 09:33
schestowitz-TR2usually it is a question markAug 26 09:34

Techrights-secokAug 26 09:36
Techrights-sectry quotes around the URLAug 26 09:45
Techrights-seceither single quotes or double quotesAug 26 09:45
Techrights-secthe ampersand is throwing it off in the interactive shellAug 26 09:45
schestowitz-TR2I think it would still make a strange filenameAug 26 09:45
schestowitz-TR2sometimes I need to mv the file to make the filename sanerAug 26 09:45
Techrights-secyes it will make a strange file name but the file can be processed and renamed then, some sites will react badly if you cut off parts of the query and thusAug 26 09:47
Techrights-secgive error 400 or something similarAug 26 09:47
schestowitz-TR2ieee is just a very nasty siteAug 26 09:48
schestowitz-TR2it does other very bad thingsAug 26 09:48
schestowitz-TR2like JS-onlyAug 26 09:48
schestowitz-TR2or empty titlesAug 26 09:48
schestowitz-TR2or block curlAug 26 09:48
schestowitz-TR2I didn't look into how and whyAug 26 09:48
schestowitz-TR2it's just a really bad desiggAug 26 09:48
schestowitz-TR2intentionallyAug 26 09:48
Techrights-secyes, it has been the victim of microsofters rather severely iircAug 26 09:48
Techrights-secanyway, see tm-scale-and-process-image.plAug 26 09:54
Techrights-secit strips the queries and such from the file names as part of the processingAug 26 09:54
Techrights-secthe two main weaknesses are that the file and its destination must be onAug 26 09:54
Techrights-secthe same partition / file system and the script does not yet handle SVGsAug 26 09:54
Techrights-secyes both # and ?Aug 26 09:54
Techrights-secand puts the image in /i/ along with a thumbnail and the text for making  Aug 26 09:54
Techrights-seca link to the image; perhaps the script ought to use a different scheme forAug 26 09:54
Techrights-secnaming the thumbnails?Aug 26 09:54
schestowitz-TR2so it removes #.Aug 26 09:54
schestowitz-TR2if the filenames remain in tact, it helps avoid downloading some of the same images over and over gainAug 26 10:13
