Bicycle Tag of bike

Another tagzump here we come...

I need to figure out how to post images from my phone.

if it's an android phone then it's easy. Not sure if iphone...

iPhone - it's not so much the posting, as extracting the image location from my Flickr acct.

Post as attachments?

Post as attachments?

This. Anything ends up as a dead link eventually.

Using the 'upload a file' button?

Yeah. If you click on that it will give you the option of going straight to your photo library.

I think the upload function strips any gps data from an uploaded image so there’s no need to worry about that either.

Ah. Like so

You can't tag inside your house, its not fair

Yep like that.

I was intending to go tomorrow morning, so it's all yours til then.

I turn off location setting in the phone camera when I take a BTOB snap. Easy on Android. I don't know about iOS.

Is the spam a clue?

The Spam is not Marmite (Marmite being a YACF thang).

Those sockets usually get potatochopped until they look like the wall.

I knew I hadn't made it up - you don't need to worry about the location data when uploading photos. Not because it gets stripped during the upload, but because of some other magic.

I don't think this works 100% - I just downloaded my last tag - the picture in this post - and it included the location data....

I think its pulling that info from the original (which is probably stored on the same machine).

I just downloaded the same image and exiftool doesn't show any geo info for it:-

Are you worried the electricity will leak out?

Huhhh. Creepy. Appears I took the photo with my work phone - I just downloaded it to my new work laptop which is otherwise unconnected to the phone but it somehow recognises to keep the EXIF....Feel like my overlords are watching me....(posted from my personal phone).

yes, because magnets...

I ran it through an online exif tool and it does show the GPS location. I feel like @Velocio is the only person who can clear this up.

This is super weird and will be an open ticket inside Cloudflare.

I've always used Cloudflare Polish to compress images, and loved that this stripped EXIF data.

However in this case when I tried both the .jpg and .webp the EXIF is gone (from GIMP, exiftool, etc)... but when I used the online exif tool at http://exif.regex.info/exif.cgi I do see the lat:lon.

I believe what may be happening is that some devices (that Samsung phone) may embed the EXIF multiple times, or in invalid ways... and so it is being scrubbed, but not so thoroughly as to remove it from all tools.

As this classes as a potential privacy issue (despite Cloudflare never marketing Polish as a privacy tool) I shall flag it internally and get the ticket pushed along.

And, just like that, BToB created work for some poor bastard
