what are the implications of this?
Unix timestamp in filenames are microseconds instead of milliseconds now

What the fuck they are
Saving OP's image is pic related
When did this happen?
Jack Gonzalez
just noticed today
Caleb Turner
1 second to 6 decimal places is way faster than a for loop.
cd reaction\ faces
for i in ./*.*; do mv "$i" $(date +%s%6N)\.${i##*.}; done

Much lower chance of hitting that stupid bug where if two people post images at the exact same time one of them gets overwritten.
Anthony Thompson
while (file_exists($filename)) {
// Change the filename
}
Asher Allen
why is everyone crying about this all of a sudden? is it a noatime thing?
Cameron Robinson
That's an easter egg and it can be amusing.
Parker Edwards
It's always Noatime.
Daniel Adams
no, this is about ctime
Charles Phillips
noa pls
Juan Taylor
this whole time i had no idea that's what that was
Jack Barnes
reduces collisions, that's it.
Josiah Turner
C time?
Adrian Wood
It was briefly nanoseconds. The obvious reason is to avoid name collisions but the real reason was to break scrapers
Jose Ortiz
If a scraper is broken by this it's very stupid.
For example my old Beautiful Soup python script that parses raw HTML to download images from a thread still works without any modification
for fileinfo in soup.find_all("a", class_="fileThumb"):
image_link = "https:" + fileinfo.get("href")
filename = image_link.split("/")[-1]
James Bell
For my scripts I use $(date + '%N')
Austin Williams
that was a feature, not a bug
Camden Young
what are you talking about?
Isaac Campbell
moooooooooooooooooooooootbros... it's literally over
Nolan Edwards
Save any Any Forums image and look at the filename.
Liam Diaz
they're smaller
