everything except long videos, i learned my lesson when @Stir Fry asked me for the pic of nap deep throating a banana and i failed

i sent my poor bot spelunking thru some other archivists' tinypic backups for days to no avail, toiling in the mines alone gave her colossal robopsychological damage, never again :mjcry:

edit: maybe i should submit large media to archive.org or just do it myself, space is way cheaper than the time i spend maintaining my robot army lol

for a while now i've been thinking of making a script to monitor [img] and [media] for links that can be mirrored to archive.org but I thought it wouldn't be as useful if the site went down and there was no reference for it. i also wanted to mirror all tweet text, instagram texts embeds, etc to a github repo so have something thats searchable.

dude doesnt even know about ublock origin and youre telling him to install freebsd on his router?

thats like telling a guy who lives on mcnuggets to cook a bouillabaisse


the best way to learn is to jump into the deep end.

@Morethan1 sent him an email basically on some "the f*ck is going on?"

It's the only reason the site was updated last time.

And no, he doesn't respond to emails anymore either.

So, the 2022 update was a "here nikka damn" fix and the final fix :francis:
Sounds like he know that the majority ain't gonna jump ship, so he'll basically keep the site online, until there's a massive drop in activity.

So....can you and the other mods who care start a new site? How much does it cost to run thecoli?
