Went to the ER last night after accidentally slashing a home in the back of my hand with a drywall saw. Five stitches. No pain. Weird to have my skin open like three inches, just looking inside.

- You didn’t hit a nerve?? I’m 13 years after cutting a nerve in my hand I still have feeling lost in some fingers.monospaced

Considered not sharing this, but figured I had put so much effort in I may as well.
It all started two weeks ago when I read the news that Imgur was going remove all anon and NSFW images (https://qbn.com/reply/4090042...
There was a comment from PhanLo that really struck home for me: "This is absolute bumsauce! Will make QBN a graveyard of broken links. Who will take the image sharing crown?"
At first I thought, that's sad. Then I thought, I've been wanting to build something like this for over a decade. So I did.
I present to you: https://haasie.com
Inspired by QBN. An after hours project. Still rough around the edges, but it does what it says on the tin. It was built specifically to prevent link rot on Imgur links.
I will be adding more features in the future but for now:
1. Upload the Imgur links you want to backup.
2. Wait a while - it can take some time depending on how busy the service is.
3. Swap out "imgur" in the links with "haasie" in the database. (ie.becomes
). Now when the file is deleted on Imgur, it will not disappear from QBN.
I can help with scripting on the DB if needed.
- Forgot the links would not be text. Should be: https://i.imgur.com/… becomes https://i.haasie.com….skinny_puppy
- The QBN link is: https://qbn.com/repl…skinny_puppy
- wow!!!!oey_oey
- but that would mean I know the imgur links of what I posted in the first place no?oey_oey
- Yeah, that is a catch. I was thinking more along the line of dumping all the imgur links out of the database (of say QBN) and uploading those.skinny_puppy
- And then find/replacing them in the database with haasie links.
If you have a suggestion of how it would work better for you, happy to look at making that work.skinny_puppy - Holy shit, what a hustle! That's awesome!Continuity
- Has imgur provided any sort of back-up tool? After over 15 years of use, I've built up a staggering number of images ...Continuity
- thats cool!milfhunter
- so where doe it store everything? Concerning you might end up with a shitload of porn and this could go end up with illegal stuff as well..milfhunter
- Thanks! I've seen some people have written their own scripts, but nothing official. Like this: https://dschep.githu…skinny_puppy
- Could look at building something that could upload a user's account to Haasie.skinny_puppy
- On DigitalOcean. Porn is fine as long as it is nothing illegal (ie. kiddies, revenge). Same rules as Imgur. Hoping Imgur acts as a filter for now.skinny_puppy
- I can extract the imgur links for each user from my partial DB. Is there a format to convert multiple imgur links? I can take a look at it next week.palimpsest
- Good lookin' out for that download tool, s_p, thanks!Continuity
- You can paste in a batch of links with one per line. Currently only supports "i.imgur.com" links, but I will add more support over the wknd.skinny_puppy
- Nice :) well doneGnash
- Yeah!! Good work and thanks :)OBBTKN
- Very cool, thanks for this!spot13
- this is amzing!Squiddy
- wow!YakuZoku
- Tl:Dr; just spent 5 mins trying to find differences between those two imagesdrgs
- @skinny_puppy thanks! my idea was to scrape all our imgur links put them on an account and create an extension what pulls the missing images form that account.sted
- Fuck yeah.garbage
- Also "link rot" is a great term.garbage
- you rock!utopian
- and definitely thanks, man!oey_oey
- Thanks for this!bezoar
- impressive skills, you did that quickhotroddy
- Thanks everyone! @sted that's cool. I have no idea how to write an extension, so I'm impressed.skinny_puppy
- Update - Shared Haasie on HackerNews. Someone (from QBN? HackerNews?) uploaded 158,159 files - 91GB just over an hour ago.skinny_puppy
- lol that idiot. go and explain people that this isn't a done service.sted
- :) it's definitely available for use, although needs a lot more work. And I'm kinda proud it managed to withstand that.skinny_puppy
- Yup, works great!

I have to finish refinishing the roof of my beloved Fiat, painting the ceiling in my daughters' bathroom, and mounting a towel rack in our bathroom...
But, I have inflated the tires of my bicycle, for this Sunday to take a ride, even if it is pathetic, through these roads of God :)

Awww, Uber just sent me an email suggesting "Let's reconnect over a meal". How nice. Suggestions for said meal include McDonalds, in second place. How thoughtful :.)
First option is for a Vegan place that - whilst it's really fucking close to where I live, I know literally does not exist. Must be a dark kitchen operating out of someone's house. Mmmm, Yum?

there were a load of Uber bikes outside the studios as I left, so I decided to sign up and take one and spoil someone's journey home.
I paid about twice the value of a bus journey to get home to exercise, cycle like a spastic and nearly kill myself a couple of times.
I'm still unsure of the cost/benefit analysis here.
- funmonospaced
- the value vs fun & convenience isn't too bad for one person. as soon as there's more than one of you an Uber or cab becomes cheaper.BuddhaHat
- you should hack them...which is probably easier than building egg throwing drones nowadays.uan
- people throw them in trash cans and start them on fire here********
- sign you're getting old.pango
- Lime scooters are absolute fun.garbage
- @uan They're actually pretty hard to hack. You need to know how to disable the tx/rx because they phone home immediately if something is wrong.garbage
- Then they brick it, and put a pin on your location.garbage
- If one *were* to do this, they would need to ride it very far away, disable the transmitter, do some sidewalk soldering..garbage
- ..because it's not just a software hack. Then figure out a way to retcon a charging station. It's not worth it at all.garbage
- That's why you can find ebikes of every brand tossed in lakes or destroyed in Seattle: idiot junkies that didn't know what they were getting into.garbage
- The youth her in London just heavily kickstart them, knocking out whatever lock mechanism they have, resulting in a very clicky rideNairn
- So Uber keeps them rotation after the wheel lock has been shattered? Seems about right.garbage
- They also clock in at around 60lbs, which is an accidental theft deterrent. Anybody around here that actually pulls what off what I described above..garbage
- ..let's just say it exceeds the abilities, intelligence, and determination of Seattle gutterpunks.garbage

I hate Google Analytics. I've set up data filters to exclude IP addresses. Successfully tested it with comparisons in Realtime reports. Then activated and tested successfully. Now, two days later, it's not working anymore, and I'm being counted in the visitor numbers despite my IP address remaining the same. The frustrating part is that if you make any changes, you have to wait another 24+ hours to test it again. Ugh. Hours of work, for nothing.

What's a healthy breakfast?
What do you eat for breakfast?- pelletspango
- Café au laitOBBTKN

2nd breakfast: müsli and protein powderContinuity - Yerba Mate for drink. 2 egg omelette with scallions, salt, cheese and schezwan pepper. Wheat grass + Whey Protein + Faba bean protein + cream + milk.shapesalad
- If you eat jam or something sugary, it gives you a massive glucose spike and sets up your day for over eating.shapesalad
- Fuck, I miss smokingGnash
- Nothing. I've been intermittent fasting for 3 years more or less; nothing before 1pm as a rule.i_monk

- skip ofcgrafician
- @i_monk that is the waygrafician
- Egg and morningstar sausage on english muffin. I like something bright on it like pickled onion/veggies, or hot sauce. Enjoy with coffee, news, vape, and catscarabin
- During the week: coffee, toast. Weekend: eggs, sausage, toast. sometimes pancakes.bezoar
- I don't actually follow this but it's probably better to eat a healthy breakfast and then fast later in the day rather than the other way around.yuekit
- Scottish cliché sorry but porridge, albeit with fresh fruit, granola, yoghurt and sprinkle of honey on top, EVERY DAYGardener
- and black coffee too obv.Gardener
- Who am I kidding. I don't eat breakfast.
Maybe a cigarette.pango - Carrot and green lentil scrambled eggs with chopped spinach and cottage cheese. A pint of water. Coffee with oat milk. Various supplements.jagara

Yesterday as part of a inheritance I went to an apartment of a person I've never meet. Partly to see if there was anything I wanted before it was emptied and sold, partly because I was curious.
While I've never meet them, it didn't seem like it would have been a happy existence in old age. Walking trolley inside, a box and bag full of pills, an big box of adult diapers, underwear on radiators, trash on the floor and a generally rundown feel.
Growing old alone just rose significantly on my list of things to dread.

- You could make it work in a dismagazine type of way.palimpsest

I just gave my new e-mower a test run and it passes the test. My gas mower has been on the fritz for a year or more, there was a huge sale on these e-mowers so I did some research and went for it. The battery is a 56 V lithium ion and can run give or take for 60 minutes. It comes with three different blades, headlights (!) and a self-propel feature. This mower is quieter - I no longer need to wear ear protection, it's lighter weight so easier to push around my hilly yard, and the cut quality is very good. And it folds up for storage which is a huge plus for me and my 6'x10' shed.

I.T. departments are full of dicks. Just got a top of the line MacBook Pro issued at work and some cunt has locked my dock so I have the full MS office suite stuck there forever, no indicators to show what's open and it has Microsoft defender real time scanning going all the time on everything. Whenever I change a setting it gets wiped on reboot. The cherry on top is having my wallpaper locked to show a big fuck off company logo all the time.
I'm going to be really annoying via support tickets until the little jackboot power tripper who did it sees sense (or I get sacked).

This sunday is the general elections in Turkey.
It has never been this close for Erdogan to lose, he's behind even in his own polls.
If none of the candidates reach over 50% it goes to the second round between the first and the second.
If this goes for the second round I'm sure he'll bring in all the nasty tricks that he did in the past, (bombs going off, national security problems etc)
But if he goes down, he's in BIG trouble.Either way I still don't like this country and I think not much will change unless the society changes for the better, but at least there will be more freedom and I have more hope for the youth who are not afraid to break the norms.
