#BACKUP

[noegrets]

(User devilrose commentary) Maybe I'm just too internet-old but I never understood the appeal of Spotify. I started building my (digital) music library in ~2001 and it's just files saved on a hard drive, I listen to them with a music player (Musicbee) where I can organize them however I want with the layout I want. 16k files all organized how I want, I can find them with ease, I don't need an internet connection. I can discover new music by listening it a bit on Youtube or wherever until I've decided that I want to keep listening to it in the future, and then I go and buy the album directly from the artists, which supports them monetarily and lets me have the nice files that I can then put in the hard drive and listen on my own time for the rest of forever.

I simply don't understand how is an online-based service any more convenient than just... having the files saved, especially one that in terms of compensating artists is practically the same if not worse than pirating. What, just for the stupid stats?

Two entirely different models of Iomega Ditto drives (800mb and 2gb) but they did their best to make the box art identical. Right down to the pen, the Windows version supported banner insert, and the placement of the three cartridges.

So. You once believed tumblr to be your safe space, your archive, your goldmine. Instead, thanks to "unforseen" circumstances (fuck you dorna), you now fear for the safety and integrity of your blog and you want to know if there's a quick way to download a lot of posts without having to do it manually (I spent half an hour yesterday doing it. Do not recommend)

Fret not my child, and welcome to

How to save the posts under a whole tag in five easy steps!

Needed preface: while this method works great for images, videos, and gifs, the same thing cannot be said for text post, which will be saved in unreadable html. I mean, you can always feed the file to a compiler, I guess. Or painstakingly copy paste everything on word. Maybe it could work on ao3 too, actually, I should check.

ANYWAYS.

Step 1: go here, and download the zip file. Once you've done it, extract it, open it, and run the program, that inside the folder will look like

this. (the one in the centre. so that we're all on the same page)

Step 2: once you've done it, you'll run to me saying "cate anitalianfrie, this graphic interface looks like a relic from the nineties!" to which I'll answer, yes, but it works and that's all that matters. Then, you'll open the settings (gear on the botton right of the page) , go to the page named "blog" and where you see the option "tags" put the tag you want to download the content from.

(it's located in the bottom right section of the page)

the space will be blank. put the tag without the "#", and with the spaces.

if you want to download from more than one tag at a time, you can! just beware that it's not an intersection of the two tags (aka: not downloading the post that have both tags) but a union (aka: WILL download posts with one, the other or both tags). if that's still fine by you, put a "," between a tag and the other (ex: "my gif, cate.txt").

SAVE BEFORE CLOSING THE SETTINGS

Step 3(optional): the program automatically saves in the folder blog inside the folder your program is in. if you wish to change this, go to the "general" page of the setting. at the top, you'll see this:

go to browse and select the floder you want to put your posts in. (ps. obviously your download location will be different than mine. i've already changed it. the standard would have been C:\User\your_username\wherever_you_extracted_the_zip\Blogs)

SAVE BEFORE CLOSING THE SETTINGS

Step 4: past the link of your blog as https://www.your_blog_name.tumblr.com or https://www.tumblr.com/your_blog_name (ex: https://www.anitalianfrie.tumblr.com, https://www.tumblr.com/anitalianfrie) in the little space down on the left,

and press "add blog" on its right

Step 5: click two times on the blog (it now should be at the top of the page) and click "download"

And voilà you're all set! Wait for the machine to finish the crawl and enjoy your newly downloaded content

Across time and space these three have made it to the Christmas Party! When Sans realized the siracha bowl wasn't actually a thing they MADE it a thing!

Doctors advise not to drink from the bowl, it is full of siracha we are not responsible for injury or death that may come from drinking straight siracha.

Alright I’ve made a backup-backup just in case

So follow @boykisser-backup-backup just in case

ephemeral

i'm the placeholder

temporary fix

band-aid on a bullet wound

discarded like a used tissue

when the sun breaks through

and laughter fills the air

i'm the ghost in the machine

whisper in the wind

shadow on the wall

that disappears when the light

is turned on

I just want to be somebody’s

favorite person. I know people like

me, but no one likes me

more than others. I’m

the backup friend,

the afterthought.

So I’m lonely. I’m surrounded by

people, but I’m lonely, because none

of them want me just for me. Is it too much

to ask simply to be preferred?
