encoding the gif in base641 and then doing something like
<div style="background-image: url(data:image/gif;base64,the text base64 spits out);"></div> to "embed" it in a post and get around image attachments being broken
I used certutil -encode as suggested here because that was the first search result for windows but I had to strip out a bunch of line breaks manually
Woah that’s so cool
So basically using the text storage to store images instead of doing it via attachments?
I wonder what the limits of that approach are.
yeah exactly
as far as I know it's mostly just inconvenient, for example that little 4 kilobyte emoticon is about 2½ screens tall of text in the post editor, so dealing with multiple images or any sort of editing is tedious. and I think there's a character limit on posts, like 100,000 or something, which is huge for anything normal but small for images
