People have been conditioned to believe cookie banners are a crucial privacy “feature” every website needs and I like to believe there are three types of people in the world: those who don’t want to be tracked, those who don’t know enough. No one thinks twice about cookie banners anymore. Here’s where my cookie banner comes into play. Many browsers do not support auto-play for videos, and despite using a simple “hack” involving a split between audio and video when developing my first iteration of this website, browsers have evolved.
No one would notice the N and R had been flipped. Imitating the format and meta of the Lightshot website was simple enough and I could draw people in easily on apps like Twitter or Discord where link previews were standard.
I was able to acquire through a friend who purchased the domain via a Minecraft marketplace website (funny enough). Years ago, Lightshot, a popular screenshot tool, used the domain for hosting images. Hang tight though, as I’ll come back to that later. What better way to convince visitors of the legitimacy of a website nowadays than to present them with the most generic, realistic, and overused scenario possible: a cookie banner. During an era of heightened internet security and a focus on privacy, I thought I would attempt to create a modern jump scare (otherwise known as a screamer). I run, which I dubbed screamshot a couple years ago. Hello! I’ve seen my site passed around this subreddit, Twitter, and other online forums a lot and thought I’d share some quick updates. Please take this thread with a grain of salt. Instead, I wanted to create something fun people could use to scare their friends while also testing how easily I could create a jump scare despite evolving browsers. This website was not created with malicious intent. After receiving abuse reports, my hosting provider concluded this website violates local laws and regulations and has suspended my account. THIS WEBSITE WILL REMAIN UNAVAILABLE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. But I’ll leave that to another day.UPDATE: We are back online! Although I have transferred ownership of the domain to another individual, I will keep this post updated! Sometimes I want to just change my blog completely to a static site, with a super basic design. I mean, I didn’t even add any styles to links, and it still looks good! I much prefer a website that has well structured HTML, and little to no CSS. I’m not sure what type of aesthetic this is, but it always reminds me of the purities of the web. And it comes, as I mention in the footer of the page, “built with minimal style”. The website is now live, and you can view it at /prntsc. So I settled on simply generating random identifiers, and opening a them in new tabs. However, due to cross-origin resource sharing, it seemed way to complex for a fun afternoon project. My first idea was to somehow built a simple website that could actually find images from Prnt.sc, and display them inline.
LIGHTSHOT SCREENSHOT JUMPSCARE MANUAL
But I’m a lazy person, so I try to make any manual process easier. This afternoon I was playing around with random combinations, trying to find anything amusing. In fact, all you need in order to find an image on Prnt.sc is a 6-digit alphanumeric identifier. These images can be found on a website called Prnt.sc, and they’re publicly available. is a screenshot utility that allows you to quickly customise screenshots, and upload them to the internet.
Specifically one that lets you find random images that are hosted on Prnt.sc.īasically, there’s a screenshot utility called Lightshot, and it has the option to upload your images to the web. Okay, so I was bored today, and that led to me building a website.
