[TAI & TAJ] ALL TAI OR TAJ USERS PLEASE READ (TUMBLR)

Post by ski23 »

Tumblr has decided that they will be purging tumblr of all NSFW content on December 17th, 2018.

As many users of TAI and TAJ are aware, this presents an issue as TAI and TAJ both rely on using tumblr urls to download images from blogs. On December 17th, ALL of your url files will become useless and those images will NO LONGER BE ACCESSIBLE.

Any images that you want to save from tumblr, you need to backup and store locally on your computer so you can still have those images after December 17th. There are multiple ways to do this. However, I've written some code built in to the latest version of Mischevious, my personality for TAJ, that will do this easily for you.
You can find the download to Mischevious in my signature.
For now, use this experimental version of TAJ. We will push this to a release soon.

Backing Up Images
To back up your images, first make sure you have Mischevious running on TAJ.
Then, type one of the 2 commands in chat:

Code: Select all

downloadallurls
or
downloadurl filename
downloadallurls will download all of the pictures from all of your url files and save them. If you have at least 5gb of free space, I'd recommend doing this.

downloadurl will download all the images from a specific url file. For example, if you had a url file called: "urlfilename123.tumblr.com.txt" you could do the following command:
downloadurl filename123
or
downloadurl urlfilename123
or
downloadurl urlfilename123.tumblr.com.txt

When you run one of these commands, the images will be saved to individual folders in <TAJBasePath>/Images based on the name of the urlfilename.

The important part here for all users is to back up any files you want to keep.

Backing Up Images from TAI
You can use the exact same way to convert images as above for url files from TAI except for one small difference.
For the url files you want to convert, open up the txt file and on the first line, put the url to the blog, and on the second line, put "false". After doing this, you can convert TAI url files exactly the same as TAJ url files.

Tumblr Alternatives Help
So, now that tumblr will basically be useless for TAI and TAJ, I need the community's help to find other sites that TAJ (I can't speak for what TAI will do) can use. The site needs to have some type of user profile or feed or blog or library or to put it simply, it need to have a way to access many images from one url. The site ideally needs to also be general. For example, there wouldn't be enough developer time to be able to implement a different way to download images from 20 or 30 different individual blogs that are specific. However, if you have a platform like tumblr, or twitter or something that shares an api or means to retrieve these images across many different pages, this is perfect. We will take all suggestions, and likely, we will probably use more than one site that images can now come from instead of just 1 (tumblr).

Finally
This decision by tumblr is an inconvenience for TAJ. However, we (the developers) will make sure that TAJ is just as good after this if not better than it was before. With your help, we should be able to help make this software even better as a result of this poor decision by tumblr.

For TAI you can just enable Offline mode:

Image
Added Offline Mode to System States settings in the Misc tab. If you're using Tease AI without an internet connection, Offline Mode will automatically convert @ShowBlogImage Commands to @ShowLocalImage, as well as removing @ShowButtImage and @ShowBoobsImage Commands if they are set to URL Files. Toggling Tease AI to Offline Mode when you have no connectivity will help mitigate delays and crashes.

That doesn't actually help for this issue because that will just use images you already have on your computer. What I was pointing out here is that if you want to keep the images from your tumblr files, you need to download them. That option doesn't download url images. I appreciate the help though!

there is choualbox.com/g/porn, but I don't know if it will work, and the content is not really classified by genre

That looks like a good possibility! Keep them coming.

I don't know either way but it would be my guess that it would be difficult for tumblr to actually take down "bad" images from their servers in bulk. But backing up what you want is still a good idea.

For an alternative to offline mode however, if you can find some tool to dump a reddit or similar to a list of image URLs, that will work just as well in place of tumblr files.

I will certainly be looking for such tools because having the random images to me is nice and I feel more in the spirit of the like/dislike system (why would you save something if you dislike it? :lol: ).
On that note, going through your LikedImageURLs.txt to save those would be a wise choice.

Thanks for the reddit suggestion. Thats a good idea. Also, they will just be marking all NSFW content as private so only the poster can view it anymore. IMO thats better than deleting it all because in the case that tumblr dies or they realize this was a stupid decision, it would be easy for them to undo this move. Idk what will happen though.

What about https://scrolller.com/

Get's images from various subreddits, so can be somewhat sorted by genre.

I was just looking into it. It looks like a really good alternative to tumblr possible. The only thing is scroller doesn't seem to have great search functions sadly. We might use it anyway though because it looks really good. Nice find!

I know someone else suggested it, but I wanted to expand on how Reddit would really be a great option. Currently right now, we can take specific tumblr's that represent a certain sexual act or kink. You can then link that specific tumblr to that kink and only see images from that kink or sexual act.

You can do the exact same thing with Reddit as they offer different sub-reddits for a huge variety of kinks and acts. Want to only see images/gifs of blowjobs? https://www.reddit.com/r/Blowjobs/
Want to only see images of asses? https://www.reddit.com/r/ass/
Boobs? https://www.reddit.com/r/Boobies/
NSFW gifs? https://www.reddit.com/r/NSFW_GIF/

The amount of different subreddits is pretty incredible. Plus they are all moderated to make sure there are no other images other than those that are on topic.

Obviously I don't know much about programming this and making it all happen, but that would be my suggestion.

Also, the newest version of Fap Instructor, has this fuction built in already. You can pick and choose subreddits you want it to display and it will show you those images. Not sure how he is doing it, but here is the link to the thread. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=20101

Definitely something we will go with I guess

Oh, sorry. I was just showing how we can avoid getting errors when tumblr go down.

To be honest, I got so many "non-sexual-related" (reblog this if you like that) ramdom pictures from that, I will just disable it. :lol:

So doomsday has come, and apparently all that is being done is posts will be hidden, and leaving the images online? https://staff.tumblr.com/post/181199101 ... nounced-an
