Google/Blogger Image URL Parameters

Google/Blogger Image URL Parameters

This is an effort to document what is known about Google's (Blogger's/Blogspot's) image URL parameters. Some of these options were taken from existing first or third party documentation (see the links at the end of this document), but the majority is based off my own investigations.

Where to use them?

  • On Blogger's image URL's: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-OF7u67HQE1M/VHc8S8qJTDI/AAAAAAAACxI/UD-11c63diQ/s1600/005.png
  • On just about any googleusercontent image URL: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Jvmz11cLrvNIHG_LWjVO9B-UV2IN4Cfk1pycbhWZl6IriMgCAGCOFuBRtoHaiZ6xeVGqCugZcCql=w176-h176-n-o

Replace the bolded parts with the parameters.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

deploy django with nginx and gunicorn config

Testing Gunicorn’s Ability to Serve the Project The last thing we want to do before leaving our virtual environment is test Gunicorn to make sure that it can serve the application. We can do this by entering our project directory and using gunicorn to load the project’s WSGI module:

    (myenv) $ cd ~/myprojectdir
    (myenv) $ gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 myproject.wsgi

Creating systemd Socket and Service Files for Gunicorn We have tested that Gunicorn can interact with our Django application, but we should implement a more robust way of starting and stopping the application server. To accomplish this, we’ll make systemd service and socket files.

Generating an SVG from a set of shapefiles

Generating an SVG from a set of shapefiles

The USGS provides detailed downloads of fire perimeters, with timestamped files that can be used to show the spread of a major fire over time.

Using the 2017 Thomas fire as an example, we'll process this data into a single SVG file with all the different perimeter measurements.

This index page contains links to a series of shapefiles of the fire boundary, each one with a timestamp:

Setting up RetroArch on Raspberry Pi 4 and building emulator cores

Guide for myself and others to get RetroArch running on the new Raspberry Pi 4 while projects like RetroPie get an image out for the rpi4.
Disclaimer: I am not an expert and this may not be the most optimal build possible, but it works.
