08:36 Techrights-sec; otr: IRC is way off the topic of tech
08:39 schestowitz-TR2; yes, irc was bad yesterday and the day before
08:39 schestowitz-TR2; busynut noisy
08:39 schestowitz-TR2; *busy but
08:39 schestowitz-TR2; now I need to talk to that nazi about his weird views
08:39 schestowitz-TR2; seems societal breakdown means mental health crisis too
08:39 schestowitz-TR2; and that means a lot of professional/exprert debate becomes politicial and whacky in nature
08:39 Techrights-sec; ack
08:39 schestowitz-TR2; just my observation anyway
08:39 schestowitz-TR2; it'll gewt worse in the coming years
08:39 schestowitz-TR2; lockdowns already exposed many adults to BS on sites like youtube
08:39 schestowitz-TR2; the re-programming makes society less functional and less cohesive
08:51 schestowitz-TR2; I joked with rianne yesterday afternoon that this past week (or few days) we got an influx of 99-helpline
09:03 Techrights-sec; true enough
09:08 Techrights-sec; thinking about the incron failure, I'm not sure of a way around it at the
09:08 Techrights-sec; moment even after resting the problem for a while. There is always the
09:08 Techrights-sec; option of running the script manually but that, I tbink, is an unnecessary
09:08 Techrights-sec; and annoying step.
09:09 schestowitz-TR2; the way I do it now is, I am stationed at Features, wget the image, then plant the filename alone in the template I alkready have
09:09 schestowitz-TR2; it does not take long
09:09 schestowitz-TR2; the annoying part is sometimes removing trailing spyware with chars that wget does not like
09:09 schestowitz-TR2; e.g. logo.jpg?salkdskjfkjdbfjkdsbkdsbfkdj#somesurveillanceshit
09:33 Techrights-sec; the resizing script is a in perl so it would be trivial to add the ability
09:33 Techrights-sec; to rename the files without the spying query trailing the URL
09:33 Techrights-sec; do the URLs you fetch from end up with a pound sign # in the name, too?
09:33 Techrights-sec; Can that even happen, in your workflow?
09:34 schestowitz-TR2; usually it is a question mark
09:34 schestowitz-TR2; let me get the most recent examples
09:34 schestowitz__[TR]; wget https://i0.wp.com/www.linuxlinks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/student-information.png?resize=700%2C386&ssl=1

09:36 Techrights-sec; ok
09:45 Techrights-sec; try quotes around the URL
09:45 Techrights-sec; either single quotes or double quotes
09:45 Techrights-sec; the ampersand is throwing it off in the interactive shell
09:45 schestowitz-TR2; I think it would still make a strange filename
09:45 schestowitz-TR2; sometimes I need to mv the file to make the filename saner
09:47 Techrights-sec; yes 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 thus
09:47 Techrights-sec; give error 400 or something similar
09:48 schestowitz-TR2; ieee is just a very nasty site
09:48 schestowitz-TR2; it does other very bad things
09:48 schestowitz-TR2; like JS-only
09:48 schestowitz-TR2; or empty titles
09:48 schestowitz-TR2; or block curl
09:48 schestowitz-TR2; I didn't look into how and why
09:48 schestowitz-TR2; it's just a really bad desigg
09:48 schestowitz-TR2; intentionally
09:48 Techrights-sec; yes, it has been the victim of microsofters rather severely iirc
09:54 Techrights-sec; anyway, see tm-scale-and-process-image.pl
09:54 Techrights-sec; it strips the queries and such from the file names as part of the processing
09:54 Techrights-sec; the two main weaknesses are that the file and its destination must be on
09:54 Techrights-sec; the same partition / file system and the script does not yet handle SVGs
09:54 Techrights-sec; yes both # and ?
09:54 Techrights-sec; and puts the image in /i/ along with a thumbnail and the text for making
09:54 Techrights-sec; a link to the image; perhaps the script ought to use a different scheme for
09:54 Techrights-sec; naming the thumbnails?
09:54 schestowitz-TR2; so it removes #.
10:13 schestowitz-TR2; if the filenames remain in tact, it helps avoid downloading some of the same images over and over gain
10:13 schestowitz-TR2; more toom for reuse, e.g. with ls|grep
10:13 schestowitz-TR2; biab gym
