Many archival collections of pulp covers, &#8216;Lovecraft locations&#8217;, etc are going to be forcibly truncated. Many users are no longer around to save their collections, either having died or been locked out due to Yahoo\/Flickr getting so badly hacked a while ago.<\/p>\n<p>Escapees from the Yahoo\/Flickr disaster-zone will need <a href=\"http:\/\/getbulkr.com\/pro\">Bulkr Pro<\/a> for bulk downloading. A year ago I backed up 2,100 full-res Flickr pictures into themed folders with relative ease. Account access is not needed, just publicly available photos. I then switched to the 500px service, which is relatively stylish and is about the best bulk &#8216;photo galleries&#8217; option. <\/p>\n<p>500px has some limitations, but cosmetic matters can be fixed with things like the <a href=\"https:\/\/greasyfork.org\/en\/scripts\/22700-500px-download-button-and-enable-right-click\">&#8220;500px Download button and enable right-click&#8221;<\/a> UserScript.  One thing that can&#8217;t be so easily bypassed is that 500px are partnered with evil stock-photography megacorp Getty, which means they don&#8217;t allow Creative Commons tagging or CC downloads. <\/p>\n<p>The best option for Flickr escapees is thus, in my experience&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>* <a href=\"http:\/\/getbulkr.com\/pro\">Bulkr Pro<\/a> and a 500px account.<br \/>\n* a free WordPress blog with a good free gallery theme (Dyad 2) for your Creative Commons pictures.  <\/p>\n<p>Though the 500px browser-based bulk uploader is not ideal, and not everyone will love the new WordPress back-end user interface.  Neither has dedicated Creative Commons tagging other than manually via the internal tag system.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone can point me to a Flickr-hosted Lovecraft \/ R.E. Howard \/ Sci-fi \/ Pulp collection not likely to be saved from the January purge, then I can use my Bulkr Pro software to go get them in full-size.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AppleInsider reports that Flickr is set to bring its free users down to a quota of 1,000 pictures, forcibly, from &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/2018\/11\/07\/fleeing-flickr\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lovecraftian-arts","category-odd-scratchings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19496\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
