everyone please do a git pull if you are not using the warrior |

I always figured those "official" shorteners like post.ly or youtu.be are the least important to back up because they will exist as long as the company that uses them exists |
|
22:21

I figure those are the 'cheapest ones' to get, since they got a lot of infra - and a lot of user data. So it's basically a pre-fail crawl :) |
|

|
ersi |
How do you usually go about finding out the charset of a shortener? |
|
22:29
🔗
|
soultcer |
Since post.ly was a shortener mostly used to send posterous posts to twitter, I simply did a twitter search for post.ly |
|
22:29
🔗
|
ersi |
ah |
|

|
soultcer |
Then you can easily discover what characters are allowed and also if it is sequential or not |
|
22:30
🔗
|
soultcer |
And even what the order of the sequence is (e.g. posterous has uppercase letters before lowercase letters) |
|
22:38
🔗
|
ersi |
That's totally not dumb |
|
22:40
🔗
|
soultcer |
It works well in this case because post.ly only lets you shorten an url if you log in via twitter and then automatically posts the shortened url |
|

I'm a bit interested in adding wp.me actually. Not that I think they'll go under any time soon, just.. Interested. |
|
22:41
🔗
|
ersi |
It seems like all content created (each post) gets a shortening on their shortener |
|
22:42
🔗
|
soultcer |
Go for it |
|
22:44

|

will do |

I havn't tested it though, and it's just a "very basic" addition based on what I've seen so far |
|

oops :) |

If you push to master, you have to always be careful because the warriors will update within seconds |
|

soultcer |
If you break it, then all warriors running the urlteam tasks break too |
|
22:57
🔗
|
soultcer |
Well, the warrior won't break, but it won't do any more urlteam tasks |

I'll run some wp.me tasks on a test machine to see what will happen |

I usually do things in a feature branch and do a pull request. I think I'll continue doing it like that :-) |
|
23:02
🔗
|
soultcer |
btw, if you look at the wp.me urls |
|
23:02
🔗
|
soultcer |
they are always ABCDEF-GHIJ |
|
23:02
🔗
|
soultcer |
The first 6 characters are some kind of id for the blog |
|
23:02
🔗
|
soultcer |
And the remaining 4 characters are for a specific post |
|
23:03
🔗
|
ersi |
Yeah, I did however assume that was because of how high the 'numbers' were for the ones I've seen recently |
|
23:04
🔗
|
ersi |
but that makes sense - since code "123" with delimiters like -_#!"#% have the same location: |
|

So wp.me/s1a leads to a blog |

wp.me/ps1a-XXX leads to a specific blog post |
|
23:06
🔗
|
ersi |
not too bad layout |
|
23:08
🔗
|
soultcer |
And the XXX is sequential |
|
23:09
🔗
|
soultcer |
First blog post = 1, second = 2, 10th = a, 16th = g etc. |
|
23:12

|
soultcer |
This will make it easy to scrape |
|
23:13
🔗
|
ersi |
That's *always* good news :-) |
|
23:13
🔗
|
soultcer |
I think the blog ids might also be sequential |
|
23:15
🔗
|
ersi |
would make sense, less hassle to organize for 'em |
