Do great memes ask questions?
What is Q's socratic technique?
Why does Q ask questions?
Do questions get people thinking?
Do people resist being TOLD?
What happens when people discover uncomfortable truths themselves?
Is there a way to reach brainwashed people?
Is there a way to tickle their minds instead of bludgeoning?
Do images sometimes convey more info than words?
Carry on!
Meme Corps doing GREAT!!!
Shadilay!
>>12207 Don't know, fren, but I deal in heavy image upload/download (memefarming) and there are times when the 8ch image server simply will NOT serve the fullsize image.
I presume when people make images CM's thumbnail server creates a thumbnail and injects its filename into the page's HTML, while sending the full size image to a caching server. (Never really inspected the site's JS to figure out what they are doing.)
Anyway it is apparent that fullsize images come from a different host than thumbnails and are often delayed.
Thanks for your scraping work.
Codefags rock!
Disagree. Trump wouldn't have twatted what he twatted, unless he wanted anons to push the idea that these 4 are the new "face of the Dem Party". This will have the effect of splitting uncommitted and centrist voters away from an automatic blue vote. They are already repulsed by some of these antics and POTUS wants us to continue that push.
Epstein Island will continue to simmer furiously, and when it boils over then we will be all over it with tweets and memes.
The public can handle at most 3 focus topics at once. I'm sure POTUS knows this better than anyone.

Thanq you fren!
Just perused your site -- how could I have missed it while memefagging, shitposting, archiving, and re_reading crumbs for 19 months? (kek)
Anyway, really appreciate the site and the effort that went into it.
Fully agree with your About page

Great job, wearethene.ws anon!
Anons will appreciate contributions that arise from your long investigative experience. Feel free to contribute when the spirit moves you.
Shadilay.

There will be a lot of dups in the scraped meme collection if you scraped them from the general. QResearch allowed duplicate images in the same bread, too, so even the meme breads sometimes contained dups. And I admit to shitposting many, many, many meme dups over the 19 months when trying to change the shilly tone into a productive tone over there.
You could probably shrink the library by 25% if you had a great programmatic way to ID dups. Hash would probably work well for that.
For the past few months I have been shrinking the meme files as I harvest them.
My algo:
Examine memes to be archived and isolate any that HAVE to stay PNGs because transparent background.
Examine memes to be converted to .jpg and manually shrink any that are over, perhaps, about 1800 pixels in any dimension. We just don't need that much resolution except for text-heavy infographics which get to remain large.
Run png2jpg.sh the ones that survived step 2:
#!/bin/bash
# Convert all .png to .jpg
# 29Mar2019 Added filename conversions from .jpeg to .jpg
# 21Apr2019 Changed quality from 93 to 95
mogrify -format jpg -quality 95 *.png
mogrify -format jpg -quality 95 *.PNG
rm *.png
rm *.PNG
for file in *.jpeg; do mv "$file" "${file/.jpeg/.jpg}"; done
for file in *.JPEG; do mv "$file" "${file/.JPEG/.jpg}"; done
Note: mogrify is a provided by the imagemagick package. It's a rather dangerous command that changes a file in place without making a backup. So use with caution! If changing the filename to jpg overwrites a previous file, well that previous file will be lost.
Drag a batch of .jpg files to Trimage image compressor. Trimage sometimes shrinks files by 2%, 5%, 10% by removing unnecessary optional color profiles and such. Now this batch of files is ready for archiving.
Separately handle the isolated .png files that are not due for conversion to .jpg.
Drag them to Trimage. Trimage will cogitate a LONG time on .png files and use a ton of CPU. It may produce some work files that are sometimes not cleaned up from the working directory.
The unconverted .png files are good for archiving now.
That's it. Lot of steps, but we try to restrain memes library filesize growth. We're just under 15 Gb on the Mega library and I will have to create a new one soon since we're using their free service plan.
Shadilay, codefag.
>"downloaded files" bearing the proper name+ext, but they are zero bytes
I get that on my browser some of the time, when harvesting memes (which I'm doing on a regular basis). It appears that the server just gives up, and the browser lacks the logic to keep retrying ad infinitum.
Is this a cloudflare issue? Or an issue of synchronization between 8ch and cloudflare's caching infrastruction -- CM's "alacrity daemon"? I suspect the latter but have not attempted to investigate.
I've been out of the codefagging business for a long time now and not eager to plunge back in.
Look again. I see wine and champagne corks.
