overhyped for image pasting landing in Polari for @gnome 3.20. D:

Image pasting, what's that?
-
@mmn Ctrl+V to upload an image from your clipboard. Then you can send a message containing the link to the image.
-
@bastianilso Aha, that sounds cool. I assume the upload service is configurable. I'll have to see if it's easy enough for me to make a !GNUsocial image upload thing - at least in my use cases I often upload images here and then link them on #IRC :)
-
@mmn the upload service is not directly configurable but can be patched, there's no single API out there for this kind of stuff. If you know of a free software image paste service let me know though. Currently we use Imgur.
-
@bastianilso I generally use http://h45h.com which is a quick and dirty hack by @mikael - it uses the age-old HTTP method PUT and returns a URL with the filename directly related to the sha256 hash of upload contents. Code available here: https://github.com/mikaelfrykholm/h45h.com
To try it out: $ curl -s -T file.jpg http://h45h.com/
(should of course be made to use #https if there's any interest in using it)
But I guess there's also an interest in requesting a certain max hosting duration rather than keeping it indefinitely? Not that I know if imgur prunes or not...-
@bastianilso I'd be down for setting up a donation-financed publically usable libre image hosting service if there's an interest.
Preferrably just hosting, no publically available archive, to avoid trolls spamming inappropriate material.-
@mmn that would be awesome. I will ask the rest of the polari team what they think and get back to you. :)
