With Linux you can easily upload screenshots to tzli.me with a couple of bash scripts!
The scripts shown work together to perform the same tasks as X online service. The first script allows any text to be inputted into the 'clipboard' and mimics a 'copy' action from the keyboard. The second script uses a program called spectacle to select an area and take a screenshot, and then upload it using curl. If it was successful it will place the link in the clipboard, display a notification, play a sound before finally opening the link in a web browser.
Make sure you have the required packages. Use your distro's package manager.
sudo pacman -S jq curl xclip scrot xdg-utils
screenshot.sh
date=$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S)
mkdir -p /tmp/screenshots
fname=/tmp/screenshots/$date.png
scrot -s $fname
rawo=$(curl \
-F "apikey=j0B3w0CoEbLcU86cPhJb7i7b3SeB8ZXr0yvxz8VdkHqePxqFOa" \
-F "file=@$fname" \
https://tzli.me/api/image/upload \
)
erro=$(echo $rawo | jq -r '.error')
short=$(echo $rawo | jq -r '.imageurl')
if [ "$erro" == "null" ]; then
echo $short | xclip -selection clipboard
notify-send "Image upload complete! link copied to clipboard: $short";
xdg-open "$short";
else
notify-send "Unable to upload: $erro";
