DO NOT USE backup tool

Please, do not use backup tool. It downloads large numbers of images in short time which leads you to be banned from my hosting. Kyselo then looks completely down from your IP while other connections are completely OK.

I got banned this way. (massive facepalm)

I hope no one other got banned this way. If you know about someone, please let them contact me via my other contacts listed here.

In the near future I will move Kyselo to my own server which I acquired from my friend. There will be proper backup system with big ZIP files generated server side.

privacy policy & backups

as there are new EU cookies rules from 2022, I wanted to sort out these things for Kyselo. I changed how cookies works on Kyselo - now cookies is only saved when needed. This should also (probably) means fewer logouts. Also there is new more visible privacy policy.

Some of you already noticed there is new download backup option in the main menu. This is for downloading backup of your blog, but you need separate tool to download images. Backup format is documented here, it's already possible to import it back to Kyselo (or any other sites running same code).

Tried compiling your tool from git using nim, got error.
/home/juozas/Darbastalis/kyselo-tool/kyselo.nim(34, 15) Error: type mismatch: got <HttpClient, Uri, string>
but expected one of:
proc downloadFile(client: HttpClient; url: string; filename: string)
first type mismatch at position: 2
required type for url: string
but expression 'imgUri' is of type: Uri
1 other mismatching symbols have been suppressed; compile with --showAllMismatches:on to see them

expression: downloadFile(client, imgUri, target)

@juozaspo I will look at home if I forgot to commit last changes.

@juozaspo it seems you have same version of code as me but you are probably using older version of Nim (I use 1.6.2).

But it should be easily backported probably. Also - I can provide this script in another language maybe. Please suggest what would be good.

@severak I have nim version 1.0.6, included with Ubuntu archives (focal release). I might upgrade nim to newer version if I find a good ppa then I'll try again.
Edit: Got it working. Removed old nim, installed new using choosenim script, from nim-lang site, added stuff that were needed needed to path, after reboot compilation works, no crash yet :)
Edit2: For it to work I needed to compile script with ssl support. Now images are downloading w/o problem. Also syntax -D filename.ext does not work while syntax -D=filename.ext still work.

repost from Twitter

Twitter is probably most open of all social networks which I use so I added one-click-reposting to be able to repost from Foone, Archillect or any of those image reposting bots.

Also I fixed some small bugs, added random post and my random post to menu and I am still working on backup scheme.

Also - happy holiday from Kyselo!

find random gems!

This update is inspired by this post - Juozas figured out how to open random page of Kyselo overall shitposting history. Now similar function is built-in into Kyselo itself.

Wanna random meme? Or perhaps random cat? We have you covered!

There is new /act/random URL which act like a redirect to randomly found post. This is also very useful for excavating random gems from my Soup backup imported into my localhost instance.

But wait - there is more!

I also redesigned bottom part of page (THE END or see more button). This may or not broke layout, in case of problems use Ctrl+F5 to reload CSS.

Kyselo was down because of hosting issues. After that I downloaded backup of whole Kyselo to my hard drive to be safe. I am also working on backup scheme, for now you need to ask me for it (backup is generated by script at my local machine).

Also - if you not participated in Great Kyselo user survey - leave us your opinion - it's still open.

Finally some numbers:

- we are alive for 518 days (1 years 5 months)
- we have 149 users
- and 45 groups
- there are about 45 post per day
- of these 22 are originals (no reposts)

let's talk in real time!

as you may have notice in last update, I was working on another brand new feature - realtime chat.
This was more challenging than I expected but hey - it's there. It's just a basic chat. No direct messages, there is only one room, no emojis and gifs. But I keep tab with chat open (when I am online) and you can write me.

Great Kyselo user survey

I was reading an article about XMPP comeback and I started to investigate how to implement some big experimental feature into Kyselo. I am still excited about this idea but I think this is right time to think about future of Kyselo project.

So now there is GREAT KYSELO USER SURVEY when I want to ask you what do you like and don't like about Kyselo, which new features would you like to see or how do you actually use it.

Another thing which I would like to investigate is future legal form of Kyselo. In current state sole operation and financial side of Kyselo depends on me as a person. If something goes wrong with me (or my family budget) it can be pretty bad for Kyselo too. I need to invent some more stable structure which essentialy means bring more people into Kyselo team.

So please fill our little user survey and I am going make this big meme dump social network of your dreams.
