Google/Blogger Image URL Parameters

This is an effort to document what is known about Google's (Blogger's/Blogspot's) image URL parameters. Some of these options were taken from existing first or third party documentation (see the links at the end of this document), but the majority is based off my own investigations.

Where to use them?

On Blogger's image URL's: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-OF7u67HQE1M/VHc8S8qJTDI/AAAAAAAACxI/UD-11c63diQ/s1600/005.png
On just about any googleusercontent image URL: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Jvmz11cLrvNIHG_LWjVO9B-UV2IN4Cfk1pycbhWZl6IriMgCAGCOFuBRtoHaiZ6xeVGqCugZcCql=w176-h176-n-o

Replace the bolded parts with the parameters.

UPDATED 22.11.2022

It's been two years since the last update, so here's the updated working script as per the comments below.

Thanks to BryanHaley for this.

setInterval(function () {
    video = document.getElementsByTagName('ytd-playlist-video-renderer')[0];

 video.querySelector('#primary button[aria-label="Action menu"]').click();

Log into unifi controller web UI
Go to Settings
Select Routing & Firewall
Select Firewall
Select Groups
Hit "Create new Group"
Enter all your DNS servers here you want to be allowed on the local LAN (Eg, mine is 10.0.1.1 - gateway, 10.0.1.14 - pi-hole)
Name this "Allowed DNS Servers"
Hit OK
SSH into the Gateway - NOT the CloudKey (username/password is whatever you set up)

Fallout 1 (and Fallout 2) Hi-Res Patch for Mac OS X

Fallout 1 was originally designed to run at 640x480 resolution. I wanted to run the Mac OS X version of Fallout on my MacBook 11", which has a 1366x768 display. There is a [high resolution patch][hi-res], but it only supports the Windows version of Fallout.

Turns out that the OS X version of Fallout runs through Wine, so we can get this patch working with just a few configuration changes:

Note for Fallout 2 users: The process for Fallout 2 is essentially the same, with a different patch, and some minor pathing differences. Other than that, the process is exactly the same!

Install Wine
