gif-from-tweet

There are so many great GIFs out there and I want to have copies of them. Twitter makes that harder than it should be by converting them to MP4 and not providing access to the source material. To make it easier, I made a bash pipeline that takes a tweet URL and a filename, extracts the MP4 from that tweet and uses ffmpeg to convert back to GIF.

Dependencies

ffmpeg
- macOS: brew install ffmpeg
- Ubuntu/Debian: apt install ffmpeg

NOTE I'm trying to find the most optimal fav/touch icon setup for my use-cases. Nothing new here. Read Mathias Bynens' articles on re-shortcut-icon and touch icons, a FAQ or a Cheat Sheet for all the details.

I'd like to hear how you approach this: @valuedstandards or comment on this gist.

The issue

You have to include a boatload of link elements pointing to many different images to provide (mobile) devices with a 'favicon' or 'touch icon':

	# =======================================================
	# * Local backups must be enabled and available. See https://support.cloudways.com/how-to-download-a-full-backup/
	# * Add your machine's SSH key to your server so this script needs no input.
	# * Backups will be saved inside a new folder with today's date within your nominated backup directory. (This might not be the date the backup was taken.)
	# * Only tested on Digital Ocean VPS so far.
