00:55 πŸ”— joepie91 http://treesheets.com/ / https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/
00:55 πŸ”— joepie91 treesheets is now open-source :)
00:58 πŸ”— ivan` cool
01:15 πŸ”— Famicoman woot
01:15 πŸ”— joepie91 very cool indeed
01:15 πŸ”— joepie91 do have to say that I'm noticing some performance issues with the latest version, though...
01:16 πŸ”— joepie91 which is odd, I've never had any kind of performance issues with TS whatsoever
01:16 πŸ”— joepie91 it happily ran on a Pentium 3 with 384MB RAM...
01:16 πŸ”— joepie91 at effectively full speed
01:18 πŸ”— DFJustin this is pretty cool http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/portalarium/shroud-of-the-avatar-forsaken-virtues-0/posts/553226
02:25 πŸ”— Ravenloft is there any public collection of "scene" releases?
02:28 πŸ”— Ravenloft like, I remember a Centropy intro on this release, that I downloaded via IRC back in the day, and it took like an entire day to get it
02:28 πŸ”— Ravenloft 2002-05-03 22:00:00 SVCD Spiderman.SVCD.TS-Centropy
02:29 πŸ”— Ravenloft I suppose mostly here are familiar with #pre and stuff
02:30 πŸ”— Ravenloft think orly.db, but with the actual files
02:31 πŸ”— Ravenloft you know, someday, generations after us, Mickey will be free
02:31 πŸ”— Ravenloft maybe
02:32 πŸ”— Ravenloft do you think that the NSA guys reading this would mind this conversation?
02:37 πŸ”— Ravenloft in another note, this: http://www.kempa.com/2004/03/09/vinyl-data/
02:38 πŸ”— Ravenloft I tought about it the other day, look it up, and surely someone did it
03:05 πŸ”— Ravenloft http://www.headen.com/XL1.htm
03:05 πŸ”— Ravenloft *I thought about, looked it up and sure enough, someone had done it
06:12 πŸ”— omf_ http://gigaom.com/2013/07/29/apple-workers-file-lawsuit-for-lost-wages-due-to-bag-searches/
06:15 πŸ”— yipdw you'd think Apple would be more efficient at it, given how much they plug Spotlight
06:15 πŸ”— yipdw no command+space for bag search I guess
06:19 πŸ”— omf_ Who would want to work a company that clearly does not trust employees.
06:20 πŸ”— omf_ I wonder when the bag check policy started
06:24 πŸ”— yipdw the complaint makes a reference to six years before it was filed
06:24 πŸ”— yipdw that's not a direct indication that it's six years old, though
06:28 πŸ”— yipdw I understand (to a point) the package and bag search, but that doesn't excuse the shittiness or inhumanity of the policy, in my mind
06:28 πŸ”— yipdw that said, I've never worked a retail job, and I'm always shocked when I read about policies that are common in that sector
06:28 πŸ”— omf_ There are better solutions to this kind of issue
06:30 πŸ”— yipdw I was going to say trust works, then I realized Apple is on the West Coast
06:30 πŸ”— yipdw and the plaintiffs are also coastal
06:30 πŸ”— yipdw and the main problem with coastal Americans is that they are universally fucking insane
06:53 πŸ”— omf_ joepie91, you'll love this http://missingm.co/2013/07/identical-droplets-in-the-digitalocean-regenerate-your-ubuntu-ssh-host-keys-now/
07:38 πŸ”— SmileyG hmmm
07:39 πŸ”— SmileyG when i worked in retail, they had the right to search bags
07:39 πŸ”— SmileyG no arguments there
07:39 πŸ”— SmileyG as for 30 min unpaid, I ended up waiting 15min unpaid most shifts while they locked up
07:40 πŸ”— SmileyG Didn't want it searching? Don't take it in.
07:47 πŸ”— SmileyG while it sucked..... not much I could say
07:48 πŸ”— SmileyG So it's illegal to check an employees bag there? Or it's illegal due to the 30 min wait? (Which is actually 5-15 if you read the articles?)
08:07 πŸ”— SmileyG omf_: lol so their image generation wasn't generating new keys, nice
08:07 πŸ”— SmileyG it makes me wonder how many people didn't notice.
08:08 πŸ”— omf_ I have a script that switches the keys on any cloud hosting provider the first time I use it. Unless you install the image yourself, shit is untrust worthy
08:09 πŸ”— omf_ ovh, linode, and DO have all had security shit in the last year
08:09 πŸ”— omf_ How fucking hard is it to be a butt provider. AWS and Joyent seem to get it right
08:10 πŸ”— omf_ Maybe they need a Sir Mix-a-lot record
08:11 πŸ”— SmileyG DO's isn't so bad, if it's just the one above.
08:11 πŸ”— SmileyG That's just a silly mistake or someone not understanding what they are doing when creating a new image.
08:11 πŸ”— SmileyG OVH and Linode's were big fuckups iirc
08:12 πŸ”— omf_ DO was rumored to have a hole in their admin interface at one point
08:13 πŸ”— omf_ no public stories to verify it
08:13 πŸ”— ivan` providers can compete on price but not really on security
08:13 πŸ”— ivan` plus no consequences for fucking it up! yay
08:13 πŸ”— omf_ Don't get me wrong, I use DO all the time. I do not trusted to do massive web data crunching. I am going to release what I learn as CC anyway
08:14 πŸ”— omf_ I just need discrete computing that is functional while I use it
08:14 πŸ”— omf_ I built a PCI compliant system a few years ago and that was on dedicated hardware the company hosted locally
08:15 πŸ”— omf_ For what I am paying I am fine with how it works
08:39 πŸ”— SmileyG PCI Compliance is a load of BS too tho
08:39 πŸ”— * SmileyG knows from building out Credit Card platforms here.
08:41 πŸ”— SmileyG It's agood starting point, but just because you are PCI-DSS compliant means you in no way secure.
08:46 πŸ”— omf_ Did an external auditor check your compliance?
08:46 πŸ”— omf_ I had to and they were brutal
09:06 πŸ”— SmileyG yes
09:06 πŸ”— SmileyG ours was an idiot
09:06 πŸ”— SmileyG he'd say one thing, then reverse it when it fixed it
09:06 πŸ”— SmileyG then we tried to phone him and he's in iran or something crazy.
09:12 πŸ”— omf_ the dude I got knew what the fuck was going on
09:12 πŸ”— omf_ I learned a few things during that process
09:13 πŸ”— omf_ Just imagine if they were all good at their job
09:14 πŸ”— omf_ thats the problem is there are very few great security experts and a bunch of lucky security people
09:14 πŸ”— omf_ lucky as in no one attacked their system before
09:17 πŸ”— SmileyG Aye
09:17 πŸ”— SmileyG I'm good, but I have no clue where to start _after_ an incident.
09:17 πŸ”— SmileyG I'm open and honest about that though.
09:17 πŸ”— SmileyG I'm not a DR guy.
09:18 πŸ”— omf_ I think of Disaster recovery and security breaches different
09:18 πŸ”— SmileyG Oh yeah they are
09:18 πŸ”— SmileyG but as theres only 3 of us here.... we end up doing everything
09:18 πŸ”— omf_ oh fuck the power went out! means get shit back online
09:18 πŸ”— omf_ security breach? disconnect all the things
09:19 πŸ”— SmileyG :D
09:19 πŸ”— omf_ I just found an audio cd I have that has a fucking starbucks logo on it :(
09:19 πŸ”— SmileyG D:
09:19 πŸ”— SmileyG one of the free ones from teh stores? did they ever give away CD's? or just free downloads?
09:20 πŸ”— omf_ No it is a jazz cd I bought used a few years back
09:20 πŸ”— omf_ To think a coffee company is important enough to stick their shit on other people's work
09:20 πŸ”— omf_ they underpay the farmers
09:21 πŸ”— SmileyG they underpay their taxes
09:27 πŸ”— omf_ I just found out the company that my mother has been buying linens from for 20+ years just went out of business after being open for 216 years
09:27 πŸ”— omf_ 126 years
09:28 πŸ”— omf_ I mean damn
09:29 πŸ”— omf_ they got outsourced
09:48 πŸ”— SmileyG :/
12:16 πŸ”— godane that is taking the search index so long?
12:24 πŸ”— godane i sort of decide to start uploading all formats of the labrats podcast
12:29 πŸ”— joepie91 omf_: surprise!
12:29 πŸ”— joepie91 re: DO
12:32 πŸ”— norbert79 joepie91: Hey...
12:32 πŸ”— norbert79 joepie91: Just an interesting topic: I have tweeted about a course in a school on my Twitter account, but here is the link... Just cool: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~redwood/OffensiveSecurity/
12:33 πŸ”— norbert79 Started reading slides, very valuable
12:33 πŸ”— joepie91 bookmarked
13:08 πŸ”— godane SketchCow: another twit network collection: https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22science-news-weekly%22
13:28 πŸ”— joepie91 ... impressive.
13:28 πŸ”— joepie91 Downloaded: 278 files, 46M in 6.8s (6.84 MB/s)
13:28 πŸ”— joepie91 I just wget-warc'd a site.
13:32 πŸ”— joepie91 hey uh, SketchCow, seeing as I was raided not too long ago I don't currently have access to my archive.org account
13:32 πŸ”— joepie91 nor do I have access to the e-mail address it was registered on
13:32 πŸ”— joepie91 (because keepass)
13:32 πŸ”— joepie91 how would I go about regaining access to it?
13:34 πŸ”— norbert79 raided?
13:36 πŸ”— SmileyG norbert79: he's naughty
13:36 πŸ”— norbert79 Yeah, I was aware, but this naughty?
13:36 πŸ”— norbert79 :)
13:37 πŸ”— SmileyG This page contains all the lecture Lecture Slides and youtube videos for the Spring 2013 semester of this course. << this I like.
13:37 πŸ”— norbert79 SmileyG: Indeed, started reading, it demonstrates experience and skills indeed
13:37 πŸ”— joepie91 norbert79: I'm surprised you didn't hear
13:37 πŸ”— joepie91 was raided by Dutch authorities as a "witness", raid ordered by FBI
13:38 πŸ”— joepie91 hardware taken
13:38 πŸ”— SmileyG I haven't yet, but will be interesting.
13:38 πŸ”— SmileyG fun
13:38 πŸ”— SmileyG they raid witnesses?
13:38 πŸ”— joepie91 apparently so, yes.
13:38 πŸ”— norbert79 joepie91: Yeah, sometimes it slipped by me...
13:38 πŸ”— SmileyG Nice country you have there.
13:38 πŸ”— norbert79 heh
13:38 πŸ”— joepie91 SmileyG: that was my thoughty, pretty much.
13:38 πŸ”— joepie91 thought, even
13:38 πŸ”— joepie91 also, uploaded: https://archive.org/details/traindriver-warc
13:39 πŸ”— SmileyG See my country might suck in ways
13:39 πŸ”— SmileyG but I've not heard of us raiding anyone as witnesses yet.
13:39 πŸ”— norbert79 Me neither
13:39 πŸ”— SmileyG Also, you can't force a witness, can you?
13:39 πŸ”— SmileyG So them raiding you simply makes you want to go "Nope, saw nothing, sorry" and all the evidence is unusable?
13:40 πŸ”— joepie91 SmileyG: not quite
13:40 πŸ”— joepie91 images of my hard drives etc. will be made, and sent off to the FBI
13:40 πŸ”— joepie91 for use in their investigation
13:40 πŸ”— SmileyG Hmmm
13:40 πŸ”— SmileyG So they do have uncoopertive witnesses.
13:40 πŸ”— joepie91 seems so, yes.
13:40 πŸ”— SmileyG then again here, they can't raid you unless your a suspect.
13:41 πŸ”— SmileyG So yeah, nice laws.
13:41 πŸ”— joepie91 welcome to NL
13:41 πŸ”— SmileyG :)
13:41 πŸ”— joepie91 the free country that isn't as free as non-Dutch people tend to believe
13:41 πŸ”— SmileyG I don't believe anywhere is free, unless you live on a mountain, or in a desert.
13:41 πŸ”— SmileyG like _really_ off the grid.
13:42 πŸ”— norbert79 Shameful I say
13:56 πŸ”— GLaDOS I think i can reasonably deduct from today that I am absolutely shit at Guitar Hero
13:57 πŸ”— GLaDOS Now, to prove that deduction, SCREAM AIM FIRE
14:07 πŸ”— godane i'm starting to upload Dr. Kiki's Science Hour
14:08 πŸ”— godane since it was canned in mid 2012
14:08 πŸ”— godane also no hd videos so i will not have to decide if i'm going to do the hd versions
14:09 πŸ”— godane also episode 25 video is broken so its no being upload
14:09 πŸ”— godane maybe odtv has a copy
14:09 πŸ”— norbert79 still more, than nothing
14:12 πŸ”— godane we may get all video of dr. kiki's sicence hour video
14:12 πŸ”— godane i say that cause it started in 2009 and the odtv videos are still ether
14:18 πŸ”— godane uploaded: https://archive.org/details/Dr_Kiki_Science_Hour_24
14:29 πŸ”— godane i just noticed something very old
14:29 πŸ”— godane archive.org doesn't derive everything
14:30 πŸ”— godane i uploaded divx, wmv, m4v, and mov to one of my labrats items earlier
14:30 πŸ”— godane the original derived item was divx
14:31 πŸ”— godane now it looks like it will only derived the m4v file
14:31 πŸ”— DFJustin if they're all the same filename except for the extension I think it messes it up
14:31 πŸ”— godane uploaded: https://archive.org/details/Dr_Kiki_Science_Hour_26
14:32 πŸ”— godane ok
14:32 πŸ”— DFJustin since all the derivatives would have the same name
14:32 πŸ”— godane ok
14:33 πŸ”— godane uploaded: https://archive.org/details/Dr_Kiki_Science_Hour_27
17:22 πŸ”— Tephra if anyone missed: http://swartz-report.mit.edu/docs/report-to-the-president.pdf
17:49 πŸ”— SmileyG winr4r: you now need to thank me for grabbing pouet.net on twqitter too
17:50 πŸ”— SmileyG that was you right?
18:31 πŸ”— joepie91 eh, relevant
18:31 πŸ”— joepie91 http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/07/30/the-free-web-program-that-got-bradley-manning-convicted-of-computer-fraud/
18:31 πŸ”— SmileyG not loading without script,
18:31 πŸ”— SmileyG so what is the program joepie91 ?
18:31 πŸ”— DFJustin wget
18:32 πŸ”— joepie91 ^
18:32 πŸ”— SmileyG D:
18:32 πŸ”— joepie91 it says it in the article
18:32 πŸ”— SmileyG joepie91: ^^
18:32 πŸ”— SmileyG doesn't load without script
18:32 πŸ”— joepie91 How does using wget qualify as computer fraud? U.S. prosecutors pointed out that wget was not on the list of Ò??approvedÒ?Γ―ΒΏΒ½ programs for use in facility where Manning worked. They argued that, although Manning was allowed to access the files, using an unauthorized program to do it amounted to a digital Ò??trespassÒ?Γ―ΒΏΒ½ and thus computer fraud. They also used the fact that wget was not permitted on ManningÒ??s computer
18:32 πŸ”— joepie91 as further evidence that using it amounted to illegal computer access.
18:32 πŸ”— SmileyG fuck that for a start.
18:32 πŸ”— SmileyG Oh so it wasn't wget as such
18:32 πŸ”— SmileyG it was the fact there was a unauthorized program
18:32 πŸ”— SmileyG so stop spreading the fud and carry on.
18:33 πŸ”— DFJustin it's more so the CFAA being broken as shit like usual
18:33 πŸ”— DFJustin but it is still pretty lol
18:33 πŸ”— SmileyG it is lol, except someone is in jail :/
18:33 πŸ”— sep332 this article has some details on the technical confusion in the court http://indyreader.org/content/thoughts-attending-bradley-mannings-computer-crimes-trial
18:34 πŸ”— sep332 (3 pages)
18:34 πŸ”— joepie91 SmileyG: you do realize that the same argument can be used in the case of archiving?
18:34 πŸ”— sep332 > But the government's argument is that use of wget was 'unauthorized' access, a criminal act under the CFAA because Manning was, to quote from their closing argument, "only allowed to view one document at a time using a web browser."
18:34 πŸ”— sep332 ^ my favorite part
18:34 πŸ”— SmileyG ah it's like our computer act too
18:35 πŸ”— SmileyG joepie91: yes, if your not allowed
18:35 πŸ”— joepie91 "even if you can publicly access the site, it's only intended for browsers, and using wget-warc would be trespassing because it's not authorized to be there"
18:35 πŸ”— SmileyG joepie91: if they fail to robots.txt, fuck em
18:35 πŸ”— joepie91 SmileyG: which means the argument can still be used against -e robots=off
18:35 πŸ”— SmileyG of course it can
18:35 πŸ”— SmileyG you scared yet?
18:36 πŸ”— sep332 pretty similar to what weev got convicted for. i mean there are reasons he should be in jail but not wget :p
18:36 πŸ”— SketchCow I only got a while into the report before I got angry
18:36 πŸ”— SmileyG AMERICA< FUCK YEAH
18:36 πŸ”— SmileyG when will you fucking rise up
18:37 πŸ”— SmileyG how much shit needs to happen before it all explodes?
18:37 πŸ”— SketchCow I'm already rising up, sir.
18:38 πŸ”— SketchCow I've put terabytes of vintage software up.
18:38 πŸ”— SketchCow Terabytes.
18:38 πŸ”— SmileyG SketchCow: not aimed at you in the slightest.
18:38 πŸ”— SmileyG i just get so fucked off with americans and their "freedom"
18:38 πŸ”— SmileyG yeah right
18:39 πŸ”— sep332 surprisingly, people are getting angry about NSA spying recenly. enough to scare congress.
18:39 πŸ”— sep332 not sure how that happened, but maybe it will spill over?
18:39 πŸ”— SmileyG .... they are?
18:39 πŸ”— SmileyG last I checked not much has really happened
18:39 πŸ”— SmileyG until the next time
18:40 πŸ”— SmileyG how are those protests on wall street going?
18:40 πŸ”— SmileyG HOw is iraq looking?
18:40 πŸ”— SmileyG How you doing in afaganistan?
18:40 πŸ”— sep332 congress had a vote to remove funding from one of the NSA programs. it almost passed.
18:40 πŸ”— SmileyG how is libia?
18:40 πŸ”— SmileyG what, we forgot all of those?
18:40 πŸ”— SmileyG Almost passed...
18:40 πŸ”— SmileyG seriously
18:40 πŸ”— sep332 that means a lot of congress critters are unhappy with the program in general
18:40 πŸ”— SmileyG the country is in all out uproar
18:40 πŸ”— SmileyG and a thing "almost" passes.
18:41 πŸ”— sep332 it will get changed/ out in the open which is what should have happened.
18:41 πŸ”— joepie91 SmileyG: honestly, that people are still talking about it is a small miracle, compared to previous events.
18:41 πŸ”— SmileyG joepie91: shame we seem to have forgotton Aaron?
18:41 πŸ”— SmileyG How about Mr Ecudorian Embassy?
18:42 πŸ”— SmileyG funny how the media is almost controled to the point of not looking back
18:42 πŸ”— sep332 no one noticed aaron to begin with.
18:43 πŸ”— sep332 some people are still fighting over aaron. MIT is still fighting back
18:45 πŸ”— winr4r SmileyG: it's all very well to criticise america on this count, but bear in mind that GCHQ was found to have a tap on the fucking transatlantic cable *and nothing happened at all*
18:45 πŸ”— winr4r and that's arguably far worse than what we know the NSA are doing
18:46 πŸ”— winr4r so you know, we're not doing so great on that count
18:46 πŸ”— SmileyG winr4r: I don't think we ever believed GCHQ wasn't monitoring us, and they haven't denied monitoring UK citizens either afaik?
18:46 πŸ”— sep332 at least google will encrypt my data (via SSL) before sending it over transatlantic cables.
18:46 πŸ”— SmileyG They quite proud of the fact they can buffer 10 days of the data going in/out of the UK
18:46 πŸ”— winr4r right
18:47 πŸ”— sep332 then hand the NSA the plaintext from their servers. i think that's worse.
18:47 πŸ”— winr4r so america is worse because their spy agencies lie about what they do?
18:47 πŸ”— SmileyG winr4r: yes?
18:47 πŸ”— SmileyG hmmm
18:47 πŸ”— SmileyG yes
18:47 πŸ”— winr4r and that merits you telling them to rise up, what are *you* doing right now?
18:47 πŸ”— * SmileyG continues to think
18:47 πŸ”— SmileyG winr4r: I write nasty letters
18:47 πŸ”— winr4r that'll help
18:48 πŸ”— SmileyG I don't see my country locking up people for using wget.
18:48 πŸ”— SmileyG (yet)
18:48 πŸ”— SmileyG winr4r: I'm not beliving I'm free.
18:48 πŸ”— winr4r no, we just go to jail for a different set of bullshit reasons
18:48 πŸ”— SmileyG I'm not judging other countries while thinking mine is perfect.
18:48 πŸ”— SmileyG winr4r: we do?
18:48 πŸ”— SmileyG sources/
18:48 πŸ”— SmileyG ?
18:49 πŸ”— winr4r SmileyG: show me a single american who says their country is perfect and uses that to judge others
18:49 πŸ”— winr4r i mean
18:49 πŸ”— winr4r one will do
18:49 πŸ”— SmileyG winr4r: lol oh god really?
18:49 πŸ”— joepie91 winr4r: I have run across several in the time I've spent on IRC
18:49 πŸ”— SmileyG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sarah_Palin_by_Gage_Skidmore_2.jpg
18:49 πŸ”— SmileyG and yeah
18:49 πŸ”— SmileyG try any overly american chat
18:49 πŸ”— winr4r SmileyG: which is why sarah palin ran on a platform of doing absolutely nothing, right
18:49 πŸ”— SmileyG tel them their country sucks
18:49 πŸ”— winr4r because everything was perfect already
18:50 πŸ”— SmileyG you wanted one over the top american
18:50 πŸ”— SmileyG you got one.
18:50 πŸ”— winr4r that isn't what i said
18:51 πŸ”— SmileyG https://pinterest.com/courtgracehol/god-bless-merica/
18:51 πŸ”— SmileyG winr4r: I can't link you to people I chat to
18:51 πŸ”— SmileyG but there is plenty on twitter if you want to find them
18:55 πŸ”— winr4r 300 million people

19:18 πŸ”— joepie91 underscor: that seems like a terrible idea.
19:24 πŸ”— underscor hahaha
19:49 πŸ”— ivan` inoreader + Minimal theme looks and works almost exactly like Reader
19:50 πŸ”— ivan` strangely you have to turn on an option to use the feed item timestamps instead of received timestamps
19:54 πŸ”— godane g4tv.com-video25859: IMPORTED TECH TV VIDEO - ss040607allofmp3_165_0.flv: http://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video25859

20:07 πŸ”— yipdw GOTTA HAVE MY MORNING FOC.US
20:07 πŸ”— joepie91 question for peoples here
20:07 πŸ”— joepie91 machine-readable dataset with timetable and/or tariff information for public transit in the UK
20:07 πŸ”— joepie91 where get, aside from travelinedata?
20:09 πŸ”— joepie91 wb winr4r
20:09 πŸ”— joepie91 let me repaste, perhaps you know the answer
20:09 πŸ”— joepie91 <joepie91>machine-readable dataset with timetable and/or tariff information for public transit in the UK
20:09 πŸ”— joepie91 <joepie91>question for peoples here
20:09 πŸ”— joepie91 <joepie91>where get, aside from travelinedata?
20:09 πŸ”— Schbirid some osm guys might know
20:09 πŸ”— joepie91 where can I find said guys?
20:09 πŸ”— Schbirid if jgc is from the uk he built some clock with transit stuff, might be US though
20:09 πŸ”— antomatic There are a few such things for UK rail services, I think I'm right in saying
20:10 πŸ”— Schbirid oftc #osm
20:10 πŸ”— antomatic buses are more complex and fuzzy
20:10 πŸ”— joepie91 Schbirid: thanks
20:10 πŸ”— Schbirid also try âpnvkarte.de
20:10 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: yeah, trains seems pretty much covered by traveline
20:10 πŸ”— joepie91 buses are a mess
20:10 πŸ”— joepie91 too many companies
20:10 πŸ”— Schbirid osm.org has a transport map too
20:10 πŸ”— Schbirid layer chooser on the right
20:11 πŸ”— winr4r joepie91: thaaanks
20:11 πŸ”— winr4r and nope, no idea
20:11 πŸ”— antomatic data.gov.uk has some nuts and bolts, search 'network rail' for example
20:11 πŸ”— antomatic I'm trying to remember what the full tariff/routing dataset is called.. I've seen it somewhere
20:11 πŸ”— joepie91 for context, I am researching the feasability of building a universal public transit planner for the UK, much like 9292ov.nl for the Netherlands
20:11 πŸ”— antomatic It's a hideous big old 70s style ascii file
20:12 πŸ”— joepie91 because wtf why is there no sane public transit planner in the UK
20:12 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: I think I ran across that
20:12 πŸ”— antomatic datahib.io/dataset/uk-rail-timetables is a derivative of that, i think
20:12 πŸ”— joepie91 that's only for rail though, right?
20:12 πŸ”— antomatic datahub that should be, not hib
20:12 πŸ”— antomatic only rail, true
20:14 πŸ”— antomatic Traveline is the main aggregator but it's still pretty disconnected
20:14 πŸ”— antomatic One of the bigger 'bus route' iOS applications uses it
20:14 πŸ”— antomatic too
20:15 πŸ”— joepie91 :P
20:15 πŸ”— joepie91 traveline is very obviously incomplete
20:15 πŸ”— joepie91 tried to figure out how to get from central London to Thorpe park
20:15 πŸ”— joepie91 nope.avi
20:15 πŸ”— joepie91 I can't recall if Traveline was the one that just didn't know about the shuttle
20:15 πŸ”— joepie91 or the one that didn't tell me how much it'd cost
20:16 πŸ”— winr4r oh
20:16 πŸ”— winr4r do you want to know because you want to know, or because you're using that as a test case?
20:17 πŸ”— antomatic I was thinking about this the other day - even in my own city, there's not really anything that REALLY encompasses the knowledge of how to get from A to B - even the obvious detail of 'which bus stops will this bus call at', etc?
20:17 πŸ”— antomatic Virtually considered grabbing a GPS and just mapping it all out myself by brute force. :)
20:17 πŸ”— antomatic but eventually the mania subsides. :)
20:17 πŸ”— Schbirid antomatic: dooo it if it is not on http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.5&lon=6.6&zoom=5&layers=T already
20:18 πŸ”— winr4r OSM is fucking awesome
20:18 πŸ”— antomatic journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk is a big one for London, of course, although it doesn't give you much in the way of data
20:18 πŸ”— SmileyG antomatic: oh theres plenty for me.
20:19 πŸ”— SmileyG i can't recall which site, might be travelline
20:19 πŸ”— SmileyG but it covers everything pretty well here
20:23 πŸ”— joepie91 OSM has certainly gotten a lot more pleasant to use
20:23 πŸ”— joepie91 <winr4r>do you want to know because you want to know, or because you're using that as a test case?
20:23 πŸ”— joepie91 test case
20:23 πŸ”— joepie91 I already know the costs
20:23 πŸ”— joepie91 I pretty much figured it out through brute force
20:23 πŸ”— joepie91 20 tabs worth of timetables, tariff pages, and bus line details
20:23 πŸ”— antomatic haven't looked at osm recently ... not at all bad!
20:24 πŸ”— winr4r antomatic: it's amazing
20:24 πŸ”— Schbirid osm really is mostly the data
20:24 πŸ”— Schbirid dont judge it by its website
20:24 πŸ”— Schbirid but check out all the services other people build with it
20:26 πŸ”— joepie91 Schbirid: I actually like how OSM works now more than how Google Maps works
20:26 πŸ”— Schbirid oh me too, even if i disagree with some of the latest gui poop :D
20:26 πŸ”— Schbirid btw you can zoom by holding shift and drawing a rectangle!
20:26 πŸ”— Schbirid and http://map.project-osrm.org/ is a kickass router
20:35 πŸ”— underscor yipdw: :D
