gRegor [davidmead], That sounds familiar and yeah looks like it from a search on the github
#
[davidmead] thanks [gRegorLove] I tried pasting the big blob into a Base64 -> image converter, but nothing 😞
#
[davidmead] Says it’s an octet-stream
#
ben that's the file itself, won't be base64 encoded
#
[davidmead] Is there a way to extract the images from that, in the exported .sql backup?
aaaa and [morganm] joined the channel

ben for sure i just don't know off hand the easiest way to do it

[KevinMarks] I think it was Quill that base64 encoded images before Known had a media endpoint

[manton] [tantek] Sunlit doesn’t currently use Micropub to get photos, just for posting. I have a couple private-ish http://Micro.blog endpoints that could definitely be replaced with something like `post-type=photo`, though.
#
[tantek] [manton] thanks for the follow-up! I think this would be great to add to a Micropub brainstorm proposals, perhaps open an issue on the Micropub spec as a feature request with the clear use-case and existing implementation of private-ish http://Micro.blog endpoints ? https://github.com/w3c/Micropub/issues
#
[manton] Sounds good. I’ll review what I have… I think there are essentially two things: one that could be solved with `post-type=photo`, and one that could be solved with a comparable version for Microsub (to aggregate photos for lots of users).
#
[manton] In http://Micro.blog, photo posts are just posts that have an `img` tag, so sometimes I do things like `filter=<img` via Micropub. Feels a little hacky but works.

#
[develumpen] Even if the img tag is in the html content?
#
[develumpen] I was thinking about filtering just posts with photo property

#
[manton] Yeah, that’s just the http://Micro.blog way. It’s less structured than some Micropub servers. That way it scales easier from simple posts with text + a single photo, to longer posts with text and photos interspersed.
#
ben hah i went through my posts by searching '<img' earlier today
