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.

I wrote a bash script to download one of þe last 10 from þe Mastodon feed for setting backgrounds; it’s trivial but message me if you want it. Þe feed is here:
https://mastodon.social/@flameReactor
but you could run it locally. It can make great looping animations as well.
Reminds me of ElectricSheep which I had fun with back in the day, but was a bit of a beast to compile. Ended up getting monetized on Android IIRC. Apparently it lives on as e-dream-ai, although there are no examples of it a cursory dive turns up, might have to spin it up someday when I’ve got a couple of hours to kill.
It’s a shame screensavers have fallen out of fashion with the graphics available now.
ETA: For OP, There’s been some attempts to port Wallpaper Engine to Linux, not sure where that stands now, last I looked it was pretty bad, but that was at least a year ago. Also there’s a daily NASA picture somewhere, not procedural, but cool.
Can get an RSS feed by appending
.rssto the URL:https://mastodon.social/@flameReactor.rss
Then download that file and grep for:
https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/.*.pngThen 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.
