Rorr404: @lifesucksthenyoudie: I am going to fucking do it.

Chud²: Hahahaha, amazing

Chud⁴: @Rorr404: mods should allow you to finish all 365 days, then delete everything and ban your account after some time

Chud⁵:

FACT

Countrywar

GODS

rule this Website.

Chud⁶⁽⁴⁾: @Rorr404: also you can probably write a python script in 15-30 minutes to scrape wikipedia, render the "on this day" section and auto-generate the 'jak images

Chud⁷: Every single day of the year will be jakked.

Rorr404: @Chud: I will do February 29th
@Chud: Don't really have good knowledge of that library, plus they are variable width and height.
@Chud: True.

Chud⁸⁽⁴⁾: Okay chuds, stop the work lmao. It took me over 2 hours but the script is completed. I will start uploading the 'jaks asap.

Rorr404: @Chud: Prove it

Chud⁹⁽⁴⁾: @Rorr404: https://ibb.co/album/TqzNct
Seriously, the result is really good

Rorr404: @Chud: It is amazing that it works, I will have to say that I used Berlin Sans FB Demi size 46 for the font by the way

Chud¹⁰⁽⁴⁾: @Rorr404: What was the last day you've uploaded? I will do the rest

Rorr404: @Chud: I did January 1st through January 9th and July 8th

Chud¹¹: @Chud: i kneel. i will make sure to use these whenever a friend's birthday happens basically as a birthday card

Chud¹²⁽⁴⁾: Just a couple more mins and I'll try to upload them without breaking the goddamn server

Rorr404: @Chud: I was originally going for 12 a day but you can go higher.

Chud¹³⁽⁴⁾: @Rorr404: I was thinking more like 365 an hour lol

Rorr404: @Chud: Maybe just 3 an hour. Plus don't forget February 29th.

Chud¹⁴:

MODS, GET TO FUCKING WORK

Chud¹⁵: @Chud: KRAUTSKIN IS SCARED

KEEEEEEKKKK

Chud¹⁶⁽¹⁴⁾: [h2]

YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

[/h2]

Chud¹⁷⁽¹⁴⁾: we're halfway through

Chud¹⁸⁽¹⁴⁾: okay, it's over. i've uploaded every day

Rorr404: @Chud: Second wave raisinstorm incoming

Chud¹⁹: What libraries did the guy even use to mass upload?

Chud²⁰⁽¹⁹⁾: @Chud: ^Generate the images

Chud²¹: @Chud:
In a nutshell:
1. I've generated all dates from today to minus 365 days in a format YYYYmmdd (plus 20200229 for February 29th)
2. For each date, I've called apiflash.com to grab a screenshot of https://web.archive.org/web/{date}120000/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page with selector #mp-otd in order to get just the "on this day" section
apiflash only gives you 100 requests a month for free so I've created a couple of accounts
3. Paste the text and screenshot to a blank science_lover template using built-in Python image library
4. Upload them all using python requests (very easy, as you are well aware booru is a crappy site with no spam protection. The main obstacle was the server crashing all the time)

90% of the 2 hours it took me to write the script was trying out different website screenshot grabbing APIs until I found one that wasn't specialed. Thank you @Rorr404 for an opportunity to learn something new and buck break the 'ruchads at the same time.

lifesucksthenyoudie: @Chud: and thank you for posting spam that was actually funny and not specialed colored dick/irrelevant country wars. we only didn't approve the rest because it'd flood the 'log too much, now that some time has passed i'll approve the rest

Rorr404: @Chud: You are so welcome.

Chud²²: This is my birthday :(
