(Copied from http://8ch.net/tech/res/771513.html. Not spam, Just seemed this is a better place to ask.)
It is important that art remains well archived, especially porn. It is also important that software used to archive it is free and open source. However, a lot of major furry porn sites like e621, FA, Inkbunny, and many others use non-FOSS means of archiving and distributing this material.
Is there any FOSS alternatives to these?
▶ No.37289
>>37274 (OP)
Dont know anon, maybe the boorus are FOSS but they're not nearly as popular because even though archiving sites are for storing art they usually end up with huge communities around them. The boorus are always dead outside of the imageboard threads.

Someone should host a mediagoblin server and customize the interface to be close to FA or e621. Boom, libre software and pron. But then you'll have to deal with the DMCA takedown requests and Big Brother knocking on your door possibly because you didn't remove that one Sexyfur smut piece.

i tried the hydrus thing once but it was too hard for my low IQ depressed brain.
as far as i learned, im supposed to manually tag every single image i have and thats just not possible, i have tens of thousands, so i gave up on it.

You can connect to the Public Tag Repository to tag some of your stuff. A lot of the tags from e621 are on the PTR, so if your pictures are also on e621 you won't have to tag them.

because the pony fanbase did every stupid type of shit the furries did in 30 years, in just 2 years. It was like a Blitzkrieg repeat of the entire furry fandom history. so the more "vanilla" furries point at them like the boogeyman/black sheep heh because the stupidity is fresh in the public's mind.
its really the same thing every non-conforming social group does to score some "good boy points" with the general populace and be seen as less horrendous/disenfranchise themselves from the part of the group they don't like. Like /monster/ does with us, completely disregarding the fact its the same fucking thing. i could give more examples but i'd probably get hate for them.

It's ironic because grown up guys fell for it. And even watched Littlest Pet shop with the same color pattern, which is a product you get at the cash counter in all supermarkets. And they STILL fall for that marketing stunt.
I'm a ponyfag because of Twilight's, Applejack's and Rainbow Dash's personality combined with a massive ass fetish.
And teen Twilight living together with a shota dragon and you expect me not to think dirty of this? Please.

too bad LPS is getting the Barbie treatment now. they're going to remake it into a generic doll-looking shitshow to sell massive amounts of toys to dumb girls with dumb parents, who will become even dumber by consuming the remake of LPS.

Oh you mean like the Equestria Girls treatment and bronyfags STILL fall for it?!
They desperately cling to something noone cared about anymore after season 2, just because that's the only way to relate to other people just as freaky as them.

RIP old LPS, but at least the new one looks kinda nice . . . ? hopefully the actual show's way better than the shorts. I'm gonna miss Zoe and Pepper and all the old pets though, they were fun.

>the new one looks kinda nice
no it doesn't, it looks like the most insipid 22-minute toy commercial ever made. its like Bratz or Trollz or Winx Club or Barbie videogames.
now, given, LPS is a franchise made to sell toys, like MLP, but MLP managed to have a fucking decent show and look at what happened, why couldn't LPS keep going with the great show it already had?
▶ No.55015>>55016

I meant it LOOKED nice, the whole atmosphere felt pretty nice with the coloring, and the softer shadows. my bad, but at least there's no humans. the 2012 LPS kinda looked bad at first, and we haven't even seen the other characters yet, so there's still some hope.
I also think that the "world of our own" deal is supposed to make it like MLP so it's easier to self-insert with OCs and come up with headcanons for the universe but obviously it's not going to work lol

wait, i can't find the one im talking about now.
"a world of our own" is a different remake one than the one im referring to as an insipid toy commercial. i just dont know anymore, can't find shit on google either about the one i meant.
just forget i mentioned it, sage because we've strayed off-topic.

i started using Hydrus like anon suggested, now i spend my days looking at cute furry porn, tagging it, and jerking off hard and repeatedly. It took me a couple tries to get into it, but now i don't wanna leave it ever.
no "comments section", no communist mods, no bans, no material takedowns, no DNP lists (fuck you e6), and all material is allowed.

its great, since im manually dumping and tagging the files that aren't automatically tagged by the public repository, i get to see a lot of pictures that i've had for a long time but haven't fapped to in years. No time like the present to relive those age old faps.

I doubt most of your stuff is not in the PTR. This happens because your images may be different to the ones on e621 (eg: different resolution or jpeg levels) and therefore the md5s don't match or no one else has parsed the e621 post yet.
Some helpful tips for everyone:
If you know things like the artist name and like some of their stuff you can add a subscription and get everything (delete the shit later). Old images you already have will get tagged or else can be processed for duplicates later in the case that the md5s don't match.
You can also try one of the booru parsing scripts here https://8ch.net/hydrus/res/4475.html.
The e621 script will even find tags for deleted post pages that do not appear on searches (there is no image if you visit the page, just tags, comments and a red deleted banner)
