It's just a number bro

Have there ever been filename GETs in the past? It's next to impossible to predict the last three digits of a filename.

Feels like yesterday it broke into 140 or 130. How long does that second digit last, anyway? Two and a half years?

>>1436378
What do you mean? Any person can get those timestamps you only got to upload an image at that exact time then download it.

PSA needs more visibility

You know 4chan isn't a magic black box right? It's an actual server that has to process each individual image.
and even in the very remote chance that 2 people would end up with the same timestamp 4chan has ways of dealing with it to give one a different timestamp.

Also if you wait until that exact moment to upload you're definitely not going to get the right timestamp.
4chan's server code doesn't even begin processing your request until the entire image has been uploaded, so you have to begin uploading slightly before the exact time you want.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if not a single anon got those timestamps, even if everyone were trying.

It's a long shot, which is what makes it even more amazing of a get then post numbers in my opinion.

Looks like about 3 years and 2 months.

This happens frequently in fast sticky threads, its the reason you get two of the same image and everyone starts screaming MOOT since they were posted at the same time. They both receive the same timestamp.

this

>>1437939
I know that used to happen, but I thought they fixed it.

>>1436378
Neat.

>>1438395
Nope. >>1438489
Anyway there likely won't be a perfect 1500(...) post because of the random three junk numbers 4chan adds to adds at the end to avoid duplicate filenames, in addition to the aforementioned time difficulties.

>>1438994
What makes you think those are random numbers and not milliseconds?

>>1438994
At the very least, we should look for the closest timestamp.

>>1438996
Because unix time is only down to the second and tracking milliseconds sounds like it'd take resources unnecessarily.

>>1438999
Giving the Unix time in milliseconds is not uncommon. For example, open your Javascript console and type Date.now(); you will get the time in milliseconds.

Found the relevant part of the old 4chan source leak:
// time
$time = time();
$tim = $time.substr(microtime(),2,3);

microtime() gives the time in microseconds, and it does some string manipulation on that to get the milliseconds part.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php

In the archives, you can search by time, so that might help finding the closest. I'll write some scripts anyway.

Yeah, I mean even if someone doesn't actually get either of those numbers it's still an historic occasion.

Because another way to look at it is that in a few days there will be the last image ever posted on 4chan from the 14* era and a first ever image of the new 15* era.

Here's my script:

looking for script kiddies wrong generation fuk boi

>fuck boy your the 10 ear pump

>>1439645
>>1440024
Just to clarify, it's a script for looking for the time GET. A script probably wouldn't help much in actually getting it.

Nice.

I'm going to find whoever posts the very first image from the 15 series and call him a newfag.
