acmcsuf.com/genuary is broken
What happened?
The images are not being fetched properly and are resulting in broken images.
It looks like the images refer to content hosted on Discord's CDN:
example url: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1191447558413897818/1191448915703238726/genuary-2024-01-01.gif
I imagine these expire at some point? idk, maybe reliable source
Oof, u/SirensToGo has made a jab at us!
Why were people trying to hotlink files from Discord in the first place? Who expected that to work long term?
The solution to this problem is to track down the original images and store them on the server (either ours or Github's).

Thanks for gathering this info. The files are too large to use Git without LFS, so Iām leaning towards using a separate file hosting service. Any suggestions?
I dont know if using a folder from google drive to generate the images would work or if we have to create a pictures folder within the genuary directory.
