On AFAID 2012

So, uh, in the end, I decided to go to this AFAID despite my current state. Due to that I got laziness fee of 100k IDR for buying two days worth of standing concert tickets (which includes stage and exhibition tickets). On the brighter side, there’s almost no queue for this type of ticket which, from what others told me, saved me two hours of queuing.

moebooru again

Last week I posted about my random project which involves modernizing moebooru without doing complete rewrite (see this for yet another complete rewrite attempt).

Let’s revisit the plan:

  • Upgrade to Ruby 1.9: done, need testing.
  • Update all plugins: mostly done, can use some trimming.
  • Update anything deprecated: nope
  • Migrate to Bundler: done, not sure how to test.
  • Use RMagick instead of custom ruby-gd plugin: nope
  • Use RMagick instead of calling jhead binary: nope
  • And more!: I hope you didn’t expect me to do more while there are incomplete items above.

Sure looks good. Need more testing though. There’s also one part which I totally had no idea why should be changed when upgrading to 1.9. Just grep for FIXME to see which it is and hopefully fix it up for me (or explain what it does).

As usual, having completed the work for today, live demo is up and open for everyone to break (…if there’s anyone, that is).

FreeBSD is Rolling Release (the ports)

Don’t get tricked by the “release” system. Apart of the base system, FreeBSD perfectly qualifies as rolling release. I guess it’s also why the binary package management sucked so badly. You won’t find how to upgrade certain packages using binary method in their Ports’ UPDATING page.

Here’s the example:

20120225:
  AFFECTS: users of archivers/libarchive
  AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org

  libarchive has been updated to version 3.0.3, with a shared library bump.
  This requires dependent ports to be rebuilt.

  # portmaster -r libarchive
  or
  # portupgrade -r archivers/libarchive

You would think the dependent packages got version bump to ensure their proper dependency – but they didn’t. Instead you had to recompile everything depending on it.

And then there’s another case:

20120220:
  AFFECTS: users of graphics/libungif
  AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org

  libungif is obsolete, please deinstall it and rebuild all ports using
  it with graphics/giflib.

  # portmaster -o graphics/giflib graphics/libungif
  # portmaster -r giflib
  or
  # portupgrade -o graphics/giflib graphics/libungif
  # portupgrade -rf giflib

Of course, ArchLinux kind of managed to do it but that’s a purely binary rolling release Linux distro. The maintainer worked hard to ensure such kind of thing get handled properly by all their users which mostly use binary packages. FreeBSD on other hand tried to claim capable of both but it really isn’t (unless I missed something).

I’m intending to contact pkgng creator to ask his opinion about this but have yet to do it…

An Attempt to Update moebooru Engine

Posted on by

If you didn’t know, the current moebooru running on oreno.imouto is using ancient version of many things. It also uses a custom lighty module (mod_zipfile) which doesn’t seem to be available anywhere.

I’ve updated it with latest Rails 2.x and made it compatible with nginx. Mostly. You can see it running here.

The plans:

  • Upgrade to Ruby 1.9.
  • Update all plugins.
  • Update anything deprecated.
  • Migrate to Bundler.
  • Use RMagick instead of custom ruby-gd plugin.
  • Use RMagick instead of calling jhead binary.
  • And more!

We’ll see if I can actually finish this one. Grab the source here. Yeah, I’m using Mercurial for a Rails project.

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru chapter 8

Hello there. This manga has fucking long title. And the scanlator decided to skip on giving DDL after their previous attempts in using watermark. Inb4 they reinvent SecuROM.

Ripped from batoto with following command:

for i in {1..37}; do
 curl -O "$(curl http://www.batoto.net/read/_/76060/ore-no-kanojo-to-osananajimi-ga-shuraba-sugiru_ch8_by_japanzai/$i 
 | grep 'img src="http://img.batoto.com/comics/' 
 | sed -E 's/.*src="([^"]+)".*/1/')"
done

Whoopsie, as it turns out, the files are actually gif. Brb fixing them.

Here be fix:

for i in *.png; do mv $i ${i%%.*}.gif; done
for i in *.gif; do convert $i -flatten ${i%%.*}.png; rm $i; done

Links updated to fixed pack.
