just saw this post on twitter, reposting for a heads up if anyone anyone feels the need to save some things.
>fringe contentFFS, that could mean anything.
>>8903538Gelbooru died the second they allowed westslop artists like Afrobull
>>8903543I'm pretty sure they mean stuff locked behind the "Display all site content" checkbox in settingsSo lolisho is the big one
>>8903543>>8903554I think that's it, the option mentions "fringe results" and enabling it gives you a "fringeBenefits=yup" cookie.Bestiality is locked behind that too and I'm not sure what else.
>>8903538post a link to the tweet:https://xcancel.com/gelbooru/status/2069889788908331451
>>8903557i think gore is locked behind that too.
Did something change with Gallery-DL and gelbooru? I thought it worked without any fuss, but now it wants an api-key and user-id, and I don't know what that is or how to give it.
>>8903569If you're signed in, go to Settings then Options, and the API access credentials (API key and User ID) are at the bottom of that page.https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=account&s=options
>>8903588Cool, thanks. How do I use that with Gallery-DL?
>>8903594gallery-dl -o api-key=YOURKEYHERE -o user-id=YOURUSERID "https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=gay_sex_with_hats_on"
>>8903604Thanks, friend.
>>8903604Sorry to use this as Gallery-DL tech support, but it's failing to download every other image. Like, almost exactly. Successful DL, then a 404, then failed to download, repeat. What's this about?
>>8903627I'm not sure, unfortunately I'm not an expert with it either. The couple of tests I ran earlier seemed to work fine. If it was just trying to download them too fast I'd think it would be another kind of error. There's options to wait some amount of time between downloads in case that helps
>>8903635It's worth a try, it worked fine for the first . What's the option?
>>8903546They never had rules against Western art, just Western styled art.
>>8903636https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/master/docs/options.mdUnder sleep options. The other ones could be useful to look through too.By the way, I've been using Hydrus Network to download stuff instead because it imports all the tags with the images, but it seems to go a lot more slowly than gallery-dl. It can be a bit of work to figure out too though if you're new too it and there's plenty of settings I haven't messed with yet
>>8903644First they came for the Lolita ArtAnd I did not speak outBecause I was not a Lolita Art enjoyerThen they came for the Feral ArtAnd I did not speak outBecause I was not a Feral Art enjoyerThen they came for the Feet ArtAnd I did not speak outBecause I was not a Feet Art enjoyerThen they came for the Handholding ArtAnd I did not speak outBecause I was not a Handholding Art enjoyerThen they came for the art i likedAnd there was no one leftTo speak out for me
>>8903538he deserves to be raked over coals for vagueposting desunot happy about it, but it will be hard to have sympathy for him if his site goes up in flames
>>8903538Sad if true, but I mainly use sankaku anyway.
Gotta love living in a free society
>>8903666someone in the comments said it was a warrent canary"A warrant canary is a method by which a communications service provider aims to implicitly inform its users that the provider has been served with a government subpoena despite legal prohibitions on revealing the existence of the subpoena."
It is almost certainly that his ad provider is cucking him because of loli/etc and he will capitulate under the guise of something else.
>>8903639They don't seem to have any rules against Western style art either. Unlike Danbooru, that is.
>>8903543You can safely assume it's anything that the payment processors usually go after.
>>8903686It's a free site, I don't see what the payment processors would have to do with thisI think these anons are closer to the mark >>8903681 >>8903554 >>8903557
>>8903674I saw that too, but I think it's more likely this >>8903681>>8903686which is potentially everything(by design)
on a side note, what's the best way to discover new hentai anime aside from random torrents on the horny cat?
So is there a torrent for the content that's at risk of being purged or just a torrent of the site content?
>>8903543Save them up
>>8903702>or just a torrent of the site content?I don't even know how big that would be.
>>8903763I assume it wouldn't be huge I mean its only the content at risk of purge not the entire site? I was imagining at most a few TBs? I mean it can't be much bigger than some of the fakku rips that circulated when stuff got purged from ex.
>>8903554like all the furry stuff thenwhich is the majority of the digimon and pokemon tag
>>8903805No lmao, even danbooru allows you to see furry porn without a premium account and they themselves haven't sent any warning like gelbooru has, meaning advertisers don't care about it. It's 100% loli, the same reason why 4chan only allows loli in 2 boards.
Do I need a sleep timer for using one of these scripts to download from gelbooru? I don't want to get banned.
gelbooru is mostly instathot of cosplayers posts these days, jav posting is vague as fuck, and its all blue archive or gatcha shit mmd porn flooding the video catalog.though is not worse than sankaku is rn.
>>8903993I don't care what people are posting now, there's a ton of stuff on Gelbooru that has been deleted from its original Pixiv or Twitter source, stuff that won't exist at all any more if it gets deleted
>>8903993The JAV shit is retarded and should have always had its own separate booru, but >>8904006 what this anon said is true. All the boorus and sites with the same core are a goldmine for deleted twitter, bluesky, misskey, pixiv, nijie, arcalive, etc. posts. Basically most social pages you can think of that artists post on, there's a solid chance you can find at least one picture niggas deleted.The AIcancer spam on sankaku is truly unfortunate and I hate it so much, but it would suck if the site as a whole went down because there'd be so much lost media that isn't AIdogshit as a result. Same deal with gelbooru, the JAV shit that often goes untagged is annoying as fuck on the """""anime art & hentai gallery""""", but if the site cucks to censorship that's annoying.
>>8903763>>8903788Very rough estimation from numbers gives~100Gb of loli~30Gb of shota~2Gb of guro Nothing really. I would ignore animated tag as well. I don't think anything else can be in danger. I'm not able to do it right now though. If someone from the board can scrap it you should do it asap.
>>8904058Isn't rape also a "fringe" tag?
>>8904111Yup.
>>8904058Is it seriously that small? You gotta be kidding. How did you come to that number? And what about if you add the other fringe tags?
>>8904058I could maybe do that, but it’d be without tags. Just a giant mass of images.
>>8904058>>8904122I think it's a lot more than that. I downloaded a few thousand and got an average of 2.7 MB per file and there's hundreds of thousands of them. Around 2TB might be closer to reality but I don't know all of the fringe tags. It'd be a bit smaller without animations, but why would you leave them out?
>>8904111lots of sites have been hiding rape and incest lately, e-hentai notably too.
>>8904173Oh wow you're right. I think incest was panda'd long long ago but now even rape?When did that happen?
>>8904177Recently, a couple months ago. >>8903659 isn’t just some cute poem, it’s extremely real.
>>8904177Incest used to be fjorded back in the day, but it hadn't been for a while until recently again, along with rape.
Is there a way to download an entire tag with Gallery-DL while also sorting the images by artist?
>>8903569>>8903588This is the same reason saucenao can't be used on gelbooru anymore, isn't it? Any chance that'll be fixed? Is saucenao still being maintained? Is Xamayon still alive?
>Losing the entire rape and bestiality tags.Come on man I don't have anything else in my life except porn. It's not even real people I'm not hurting anyone
>>8904159one issue is all of these 50mb PNGs
>>8904180>>8904181Thanks. Interesting.
>>8903538Huh, so the time spent on writing that Python script that gets the tags of the images I saved locally and uploads them to Shimmie2 running on my PC wasn't wasted.
if someone manages to download all the stuff please make a torrent or something
>YOU WILL JACK OFF TO THE ONLY FANS>YOU WILL PAY THE WHORE TO DANCE>YOU WILL ENJOY IT grim times we're in
Are they deleting the entire images or just removing the tags from them?Either this shit is always gay.
>>8904609I imagine they'll do what e6 did, which is remove access to the flagged posts for everyone except staff. It allows potential restoration down the road.If he does cuck, I'm curious how he'll navigate the inconsistent tagging minefield. I don't see a way where he can bend the knee that doesn't involve effectively torching the site.
>>8904210Please respond. I can’t do much archiving without that.
So does anyone know how much time there is before they purge or restrict it? They have their own Discord (which I can't use due to face scan / ID requirements), is anyone in the know? Are we talking 3 days? 14 days? 1 month?
>>8905343It might be that nothing happens at all. The gelbooru owner is a schizo who makes big deals about nothing all the time
>>8905343how do I access the discord? i'll look around.
>>8905380scroll all the way to the bottom of a post
>>8903644>election tourist lingo>pro censorship opinionWhy is this the case every single time?
>>8904058That's not very large at all. Incest is also locked behind that checkbox, by the way.>>8904388Would you be willing to share your script? I don't think gallery-dl saves metadata, and that's almost as important as the images themselves. Pretty much impossible to find something among hundreds of thousands of files if they're not properly tagged.
>>8905960>>8904058There's no way it's that small.
>>8905962>when she sees my dick
>>8905948Its Sharty you mongoloids, they are raiding this shit since summer break began and are planning at their pisscord.Report their asses for trolling outside /b/ so theods can do their job.
There's this thing. There's now a two week recess for the Senate. Then they can pass it and sites like Gelbooru and 4chan can be taken down if they don't comply with the new US federal law requiring age verification.https://nitter.net/gelbooru/status/2071771081459818815
>>8906387This. The false 2 party system is fucking shit up. Soft conservatives and hard conservatives are fucking us.
>>8904248Wait, SauceNao is just not looking at Gelbooru anymore? Goddammit.
>>8906659iqdb is still able to query it, so I don't think it is
>>8906662iqdb hasn't been able to update gelbooru in over a year either
>>8906659That and you can't use saucenao (or iqdb) to reverse image search gelbooru urls
>>8906175what is sharty's position/ethos anyway? they seem like chud types that hate loli shit?
>>8906797They think they're 2003 era /b/, except they're zoomers so they're mostly all afraid of heckin icky things, and their memes are dogshit. Ironically, their ranks are also swarming with actual child predators, some from the 3rd world.
>>8906797Also, SO many self-hating trannies.
>>8906797They dislike porn (supposedly) and especially hate loli and they really like trolling with circular moralfag arguments about it on 4chan.I believe their puritan angle is just a bit since porn is an easy target.IIRC they flooded reports on a bunch of loli hosting websites for having real CP.
>>8906930Sharteens are known to distribute actual CP.
>>8906896>>8906898>>8906930>>8906965Sharty is 100% some glowie psyop and nothing will convince me otherwise. Something like that wouldn't surface organically the way it did. It was engineered for sure.
>>8906387/h/ and other boards will require age verification if this passes the Senate. They are saying the Senate will most likely punt it for some time over a disagreement over "duty of care" because the House bill, which is sponsored by Big Tech, provides liability protections to them if some underage users manage to slip through their age verification method, whereas the Senate does not want those protections, but one day they will compromise and pass a bill because they both agree there needs to be age verification, and it'll happen if not this year then next year due to bipartisan support.
>>8903538catbox it
>>8907509Yup.Except 4chan isn't going to do age verification, it literally can't afford it. Rapeape and gookmoot will simply close all the NSFW boards permanently because they won't have any other choice.Gelbooru and all other boorus/booru-likes will close down as well for the same reason.
>>8903538>>8903543It means pedophiles, they don't care or warn anyone but pedophiles because they are pedophiles. The hosts of these websites are always pedophiles for some reason.
>>8903659>>8904180So what are you doing about it, then?>>8903681Most likely this; he just needs to lay low and rely on donations for a little while.>>8904177You mean hiding or straight-up deleting on Panda?
>>8908641And that's the real reason behind the bill as we all know. As if these people care about children in any way.
>>8903557Rape too
>>8903538That's why you shouldn't trust the boorus. Use hyphanet or ipfs like the real pros.The internet will become a corporate wasteland
>>8908641It's so fucking over. Censorship won.
>>8911427What happened?
>>8908641>Except 4chan isn't going to do age verification, it literally can't afford it.Doesn't seem like it would be that expensive.
>>8915033Yes it will, because simply stated the cost to verify each user is greater than potential ad revenue from each user.For example the rule34 (xxx) admin blocked the yookay last year after the online cuck act went into effect, explaining on twitter that although he thinks the law is retarded he's not against complying with it in principle but did the math and even a back-of-the-napkin calculation shows that the ad revenue that keeps the site afloat and profitable wouldn't come close to paying what the third-party verification scum are charging. And I guarantee the CPM at rule34 is higher than 4chan anyway.Moreover, as moot said over a decade ago, 4chan is and always has been run on shoes-strings and duck-tape, and the hack last year really revealed that this is still the case. No, when age verification laws are passed nationally in the US, whether it's later this year or next year, 4chan will fold along with most of the large boorus. Eurofags are already starting to enforce it as well.
>>8915130My way of life is being destroyed before my very eyes by evil men and I can't fucking do anything about it.
>>8915132Look on the bright side, you still have pixiv, at least until they pass ID verification laws in Japan as well
did gelbooru delete all the scat content? I just noticed this. I don't look at that stuff but it makes me wonder what else has been deleted? it seems to be gone from danbooru too. so if you're a fan of that tag it's now completely gone from the internet since the two major sites appear to have removed it. decades of content.
>>8903538So what tags specifically does "display all site content" show/hide?
>>8908649They're going afer incest as well
>>8916549They did that a long time ago.
>>8916554read the thread
>>8916686No
>>8916706Alright then please wait warmly while we compile the information for your convenience.
If you live in the US call your senator and tell them you oppose the KIDS act. Tell them that you are worried about privacy with every site having to implement its own age verification system that can't be guaranteed to be secure, and how it promotes a fundamentally undemocratic internet where smaller sites that can't afford to verify users just cease to exist.CALL them on the PHONE. I know actually talking to a person is scary but these guys don't give a shit about emails. Even if their office gets just a double digit number of phone calls they will consider that a huge abnormal backlash because nobody actually wants to take time to call these offices.
>>8905960gallery-dl -v -R -1 --write-metadata --write-info-json --mtime date>>8906797wtf is a chud anyways? Ive been called one a lot by blusky zoomers, now youre telling me chud hate loli, do any words have meaning anymore online?>>8907509Isnt 4chan owned by some japanese guy? Just move the server>>8915033Its extremely expensive for one and second it guarantees every user leaves, such an amazing business model what can i say?>>8915132Never comply, boycott big tech, keep posting everything they want to destroy, especially stuff thats actually harmful to their political career
>>8903538it feels like takedowns/dmca have been dramatically ramped up even in just the last 6 months tootons of shit I remember seeing before is gone now, hell, some tags even see fewer results over time, which is the opposite of what you'd expect to see from a growing/user submitted collection like that
shutting down nsfw boards will just mean people posting nsfw on the rest of the boards (more so then they do now anyway) which could lead to the whole site being forced down. This could cause shadier unregulated sites to popup and curios kids/teens will find them and find worse stuff there and would actually be in more danger.Not like the government actually cares about this. They just want us branded and id'd like cattle.
>>8917985Nah, not really, the internet is soon going to be locked down harder than you can currently imagine: the end result of all this is obviously that within 5 years time and probably sooner there won't even be any http-html services on the internet to access, legal or not; everything will just be shitty mobile apps gated by google play and apple app store + payment processors, curated to whatever the most "sanitized", blandest lowest common denominator in that chain of infrastructure will allow due to ever increasing global regulations and """reputational risk""" assessments.To the extent you can still use a traditional computer or other non-apple/google hardware to access web services you'll still have to provide hardware attestation by scanning a QR code or something similar with your android or apple phone. And when you access a web service they'll know exactly who you are and where you are at all times.Moreover, on the NSFW front, maybe onlyfans will still exist, maybe patreon will still allow the most insipid of e-thots to get paid to show off their holes, or maybe not. But soon that's all you'll have access to at most.Like it or not this is the imminent future.
>>8918003Gonna need a new internet at this rate.
>>8917985and I hope that happens, the only way anything will change if all of it beings to blow up in their faceI wouldn't have thought I'd be here a decade ago nor would I own a 150TB NAS.>>8918003Yeah because the modern web totally didn't start on 60Mhz Pentiums in basements.Obviously it is getting quite bad but their true dreams are technically impossible to implement unless you shut down the internet like North Korea which is not going to happen and even if it did, I bet there are people hosting their own shit on NK's LAN.If you use Windows, own a smartphone manufactured in the past decade, use a credit card, that sounds like you are the only one who actually wants that future aside from your handlers ofcourse.Less pointless demoralization more pushback.
>>8918141been working on a tor-only alternative to all the major sites (not just boorus), been wanting to since sankaku paywalled and ruined its interface and been getting tired of dmcas and censorship lately, hopefully can launch next month at the earliest if time affords, keep expectations low, and scrutinize when it's launched (although i'll say up front to purist archivers just to get it out of the way that everything's getting auto-re-encoded to AVIF or AV1 WebM with imperceivable lossiness, it'll shrink exhentai's 140TB, which i can't afford, down to ~20TB. i'm storing MD5s of all the original files though which will be one of the many searchable metadata), i'm storing perceptual & block-based hashes and CLIP-ViT-B/32 INT8 vectors of each image too for the internal reverse image search tools
>>8918189disregard this post, nothing is being launched, i am not involved in any project like this, it was just satire
i don't think 4chan will ever get shut down even if age verification passes nationwide because it's possible they cut a sweet deal with the FBI and NSA to have an FBI cell/trojan constantly monitor this site with AI tools with instant access to IPs and such, similar to how in china every company that reaches a certain size is required to have CCP party cells in it. remember when moot deleted /pol/ because he strongly disagreed with people's views on there? it's possible he reinstated it because he realized it can be like a useful FBI/NSA honeypot, and maybe the FBI nudged him to reinstate it. i also wonder what he and epstein discussed regarding 4chan.
The motherless domain got seized by a Texan attorney general by forcing Verisign to hand it over to him due to the site refusing to comply with Texas's age verification law.https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-secures-landmark-legal-victory-lock-pornographic-website-domain-and
>>8918555Paxton is such a piece of shit. >This writ demonstrates that Texas has the legal authority and the proven tools to reach beyond its borders and hold foreign operators accountable.That's completely insane.
