Malia: "So what’s the plan?"

Derek: "Go in quiet. No unnecessary risks."

Stiles: grinning "Which means I’m benched, right?"

Lydia: "Which means we’ll need a backup plan."

Roll Your Own Home Backup Server PC Mag - July 2004

Lo pubblico qui, caso mai dovesse servire a qualcuno.

E' sempre la storia del backup, partita anni fa in maniera completamente diversa, perché mi ero messo in testa di fare la app Android di Tumblr (per chi mi segue dal 2019, si ricorderà di Rumble), ma dopo tanto studio sulle API capii che non era proprio fisicamente possibile riuscire nell'impresa, e recuperai tutto il codice scritto per farmi dei programmi di gestione del mio blog, che tuttora uso, tra cui la possibilità di fare in autonomia (e ne ho fatti tanti anche a voi) il backup del blog, soprattutto negli anni dove con Tumblr non ne voleva sapere di funzionare.

Il problema di una app che fa il backup, così come fare il backup tramite Tumblr, è che ogni volta devi ricordarti di usarla, ed è una rottura di cazzi, diciamocelo, io per primo me lo dimentico, col risultato che passano i mesi e l'ultimo backup magari risale ad un anno fa.

Fortuna che la mamma ha speso tanti soldi per farmi studiare, e l'impulso a risolvere il problema l'ho avuto quando ho acquistato l'anno scorso come regalo per Natale un ben Synology DS223j, e mi son detto "ma questo è un aggeggio che mi fa i backup di tutto, se modifico tutto quello che ho fatto per tirarne fuori un giocattolino piccolo piccolo che gira ogni sera su questo bagaglio e mi fa il backup direttamente sui miei dischi, beh, siamo ad asino", e quindi

Non è della serie "scarica ed esegui", eh, però ho provato a documentarne l'uso, per chi si vuole cimentare, e si accettano ovviamente critiche e consigli (e anche modifiche!)

Mo' ogni notte questo gingillo gira e mi fa il backup incrementale delle ultime modifiche dei 3 blog che ho.

Insomma, per la serie, fallimento di Tumblr non ti temo.

Not sure if I want to stay on Tumblr but in case I don't want to lose everything all together this time. This is the back up for @use-to-be-shy

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

with tumblr struggling lately, is there anywhere we could follow the story of cambremon at as well in case things go badly here?

Hey there amatres! That's a very good question, I've been wondering that myself! I'd like to do a backup of the story so far and continue uploading the rest of the story, but I'm not really sure which platform to use. Does anyone know of alternative websites? Also I saw something about being able to backup a blog through the tumblr app itself, but I haven't figured it out yet, could anyone point me in the right direction?

Also I've been quite busy with RL stuff lately and not so active on tumblr, but thanks to everyone for the likes and comments on the latest posts ❤️ I also have a few asks I need to answer but I need to fire up my computer to do it and haven't had the chance yet!

[used-to-be-shy]

Well they finally got me, while I was on hiatus too. If you enjoyed any of the writing on @use-to-be-shy follow me here (although how active I might be is up in the air.) Spread the word so friends can find me, and if you have any posts of mine I wasn't able to share here send them my way.
