03:52 πŸ”— BlueMax underscor, any good? http://pastebin.com/Y2Vrz6aK
03:56 πŸ”— godane this guy may have some stuff for archiveteam: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2076822/Richard-Wallace-hoarded-rubbish-seen-space.html
04:11 πŸ”— underscor BlueMax: if by any good you mean fuckin' great, then yes
04:11 πŸ”— BlueMax lol it's really that good? I just went full robot mode and that came out
04:13 πŸ”— underscor It looks good. You did well.
04:13 πŸ”— underscor Now do the rest! :D
04:14 πŸ”— BlueMax D:
04:17 πŸ”— winr4r godane: that guy reminds me of my hard drive man
04:18 πŸ”— BlueMax just sent the metadata to the textfiles email. now which one to do next :P
04:29 πŸ”— godane winr4r: i got nick arcade now
04:30 πŸ”— godane and 4 seasons of bad influence
04:48 πŸ”— Coderjoe man
04:48 πŸ”— Coderjoe He has some impressive collecting going on there, but plenty of plain old hoarding
04:50 πŸ”— Coderjoe (the newspapers are nice, though also slightly disorganized. the piles of stuff that look like food trash are gross, though)
04:52 πŸ”— godane i know
04:53 πŸ”— godane but a least he had a lot of newspaper that looks to be good
04:53 πŸ”— godane and not like moldly or something
04:53 πŸ”— Coderjoe 'A lesson to anybody thinking about collecting things - donҀ™t. ItҀ™s not really worth it, is it? It doesnҀ™t make sense.Ҁ™
04:54 πŸ”— Coderjoe Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2076822/Richard-Wallace-hoarded-rubbish-seen-space.html#ixzz23mBKYRlq
04:54 πŸ”— Coderjoe argh
04:54 πŸ”— Coderjoe I hate when shit tacks things on like that
04:54 πŸ”— Coderjoe anyway... if nobody collects, large parts of history can disappear
04:54 πŸ”— Coderjoe and THAT doesn't make sense
04:55 πŸ”— Coderjoe godane: in the text there is mention of having to put some of the papers on palettes and cover them with tarps. the papers got waterlogged and destroyed, of course.
04:56 πŸ”— godane ok
04:57 πŸ”— godane but it looked like a good chuck of it was still good
04:57 πŸ”— godane maybe stuff by the stove wasn't
08:12 πŸ”— SmileyG aren't google pics taken from non-space?
08:29 πŸ”— SketchCow Some are, some aren't
08:29 πŸ”— SketchCow Google Earth really kind of exploded the market of satellite photos
08:56 πŸ”— SmileyG k.
09:22 πŸ”— Schbirid huh, i lost my flagging abilities on hacker news
12:32 πŸ”— Coderjoe I think goog has been adding non-sat aerial photos as well.
12:32 πŸ”— Coderjoe MS certainly has in bing maps
13:40 πŸ”— Schbirid higher zoomlevels were always from non-satelites

15:48 πŸ”— godane uploaded: http://archive.org/details/bad_influence_se3ep3
15:49 πŸ”— godane uploaded: http://archive.org/details/bad_influence_se3ep2
15:50 πŸ”— winr4r hi godane
16:09 πŸ”— godane hey winr4r
16:10 πŸ”— godane uploaded: http://archive.org/details/bad_influence_se3ep4
16:11 πŸ”— winr4r excellent
16:47 πŸ”— godane uploaded: http://archive.org/details/bad_influence_se3ep5
16:47 πŸ”— godane i can't upload anything else for now
16:48 πŸ”— godane my brothers foot hurts and is bitching about the internet speed
17:09 πŸ”— Coderjoe your brother's foot is bitching about internet speeds?
17:09 πŸ”— Coderjoe (also, you should perhaps look into QoS/shaping/prioritizing)
17:10 πŸ”— winr4r Coderjoe: haha
17:11 πŸ”— Coderjoe when I was pushing all of my stage6 data to IA, it was from a system that wasn't doing anything else with the internet, and I set things up so that system's outbound packets were placed last, after everyone else
17:12 πŸ”— Coderjoe nobody even noticed that the connection was completely busy
17:13 πŸ”— Coderjoe (keep in mind that to do that, you need to control the buffering, so you have to set a local limit that is slightly below what your provider allows. Otherwise packets build up in your modem's buffers)
17:13 πŸ”— godane i'm just finishing se3ep6
17:13 πŸ”— winr4r never worked out why saturating upstream destroys an internet connection far more than saturating the downstream
17:14 πŸ”— Coderjoe winr4r: that's only for asymmetric connections. when you are getting data from a remote server, you have to send several packets out in order to establish the connection, and several packets telling the server you got what they sent
17:15 πŸ”— Coderjoe historically, US broadband ISPs would give you JUST enough upstream to send those ACK packets fast enough to saturate your downstream
17:15 πŸ”— winr4r ah
17:17 πŸ”— godane uploaded: http://archive.org/details/bad_influence_se3ep6
17:18 πŸ”— godane i'm uploading se3ep7 at a slower speed
17:20 πŸ”— Coderjoe you're doing great. but again, we don't need continuous status reports.
17:20 πŸ”— godane i know but i feel better about doing that
17:23 πŸ”— godane after bad influence i have gamesmaster
17:23 πŸ”— godane thats about 20gb
19:22 πŸ”— Famicoman so who started the archiveteam subreddit
19:26 πŸ”— winr4r SketchCow: i think i've found my favourite wikipedia bio trick used by assholes
19:27 πŸ”— winr4r remove literally all the content save one sentence on entirely spurious grounds, then get someone else to nominate it for deletion on the basis that there is "literally no verifiable information"
19:28 πŸ”— winr4r (one of those things, in a particular case, was stuff like scientific papers and granted US patents, deleted because they weren't independent sources (!))
19:29 πŸ”— yipdw I'm going to make a Wikipedia derivative that is perfect
19:29 πŸ”— yipdw number of pages: 1
19:29 πŸ”— yipdw Main Page
19:29 πŸ”— yipdw "Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"
19:29 πŸ”— yipdw end.
19:30 πŸ”— yipdw on a less boring subject, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSvx_IP9XXU is pretty awesome
19:31 πŸ”— winr4r wikipedia isn't so bad, but you get shitheads with agendas
19:31 πŸ”— * winr4r listens
19:32 πŸ”— yipdw that mashup really depends on whether you've played Analogue
19:35 πŸ”— winr4r i haven't
19:35 πŸ”— winr4r but that was pretty well done
20:54 πŸ”— shaqfu My favorite Wikipedia trick is still SketchCow adding fake books to lists, letting them get scraped, and ordering the fake books
20:56 πŸ”— emijrp wut?
21:00 πŸ”— shaqfu A lot of Amazon retailers scrape titles from Wikipedia and print on demand when they get orders
21:00 πŸ”— shaqfu So, he put fake books in lists of works
21:00 πŸ”— shaqfu Waited a bit
21:00 πŸ”— shaqfu Found someone that scraped the list, ordered it from them
21:01 πŸ”— shaqfu Where it sits forever, waiting to ship
21:03 πŸ”— emijrp and what is the point?
21:06 πŸ”— shaqfu Fun, and that miniscule chance of someone actually sending a book
21:15 πŸ”— underscor hahaha, that's awesome
21:26 πŸ”— emijrp List of archivists is missing in WP
21:28 πŸ”— emijrp im going to add this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_Kahle but WP says is just a digital librarian
21:28 πŸ”— emijrp not an archivist
21:35 πŸ”— SketchCow http://ascii.textfiles.com/schuyler-towne-kickstarter
21:38 πŸ”— alard A sad story (the kickstarter, that is, not the cleaning up bit).
21:48 πŸ”— godane SketchCow: i found 4 hours of video of bbc 1 new year's eve 1999
21:49 πŸ”— godane i don't think archive.org has that recorded
21:49 πŸ”— godane also is there a list some where to know what tv channels that archive.org is recording
21:58 πŸ”— godane season 3 of bad influence up
22:41 πŸ”— Clandesti I wonder how reliable are these http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Blank-MD2D-5-25-inch-Dysan-100-Disks-for-Apple-II-IBM-PC-More-Sealed-/200802295533
22:58 πŸ”— godane my stupid internet
