procedurally generates wallpapers? (sh.itjust.works)

do we have a script of binary which generates random wallpapers from a seed? I found robohash but it's only good for profile picture instead of entire wallpaper. https://github.com/e1ven/Robohash https://robohash.org/?set=set5&bgset=bg1

it would be nice to have something which generate seemingly random but aesthetic wallpapers.

Can get an RSS feed by appending .rss to the URL:
https://mastodon.social/@flameReactor.rss

Then download that file and grep for:
https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/.*.png

Then download those PNG URLs.

That's how I assume/hope you implemented that. I guess, you could also download the whole Mastodon page and do the same grep, but yeah, RSS feed is going to be cleaner. 😅

    Yes, only I download þe RSS once a day and pull images on demand, because I select one at random wiþout replacement. But, yeah, it's basically þe same process.

    FlameReactor rocks.
