03:56 🔗 joepie91_ IA is mad at me :(
03:56 🔗 yipdw heh
03:57 🔗 yipdw could be worse; they could use HTTP code 420
03:57 🔗 joepie91_ yipdw: I'm a little concerned that these docs are marked as 'mirrored' in my DB
03:58 🔗 joepie91_ can't help but feel there's something going wrong with error handling there
03:58 🔗 yipdw oh
03:58 🔗 joepie91_ not sure if the problem is in my code or in the internetarchive module
03:59 🔗 joepie91_ I lied, it marked it as 'error'
04:52 🔗 godane so i got another newspaper to grab for you guys: http://archives.phillipian.net/explore.php
05:03 🔗 Ravenloft http://gba.hordeofninjas.com/
05:29 🔗 joepie91_ I'm kinda surprised by how many people are enthusiastic about PDFy docs being mirrored to IA
05:29 🔗 joepie91_ like
05:29 🔗 joepie91_ non-archivy people
05:33 🔗 yipdw joepie91_: see if you can parlay that into a 6 gazillion USD valuation by Anderssen Horowitz
05:35 🔗 garyrh PDFy: We Disrupt PDFs
05:35 🔗 yipdw haha
05:36 🔗 joepie91_ hahaha
05:36 🔗 joepie91_ yipdw: not going to get a valuation, methinks
05:36 🔗 joepie91_ seeing as I refuse to whore myself out to an ad company
05:36 🔗 joepie91_ :P
05:36 🔗 yipdw but but
05:37 🔗 yipdw six gazillion dollars
05:37 🔗 yipdw that's more than five gazillion dollars
05:37 🔗 joepie91_ :D
05:45 🔗 DFJustin since when do you have to actually make money to get a valuation
06:29 🔗 joepie91_ DFJustin: you don't have to /make/ money, you just have to make people believe that you /could/ if you really wanted to
06:42 🔗 DFJustin exactly
07:04 🔗 BlueMax damn, if only we could make a good acronym for "nights"
07:33 🔗 yipdw BlueMax: Nine Indigo Ghosts Hopped The Shark
07:34 🔗 BlueMax ...while irrelevant, that's great
07:34 🔗 yipdw it's entirely relevant
07:35 🔗 yipdw you wanted a way to acronymize nights
07:35 🔗 BlueMax so it fit with the topic >___>
08:00 🔗 schbirid http://i.imgur.com/5I8QQPe.jpg
08:05 🔗 BlueMax I yelled at a cloud once
08:06 🔗 BlueMax Pretty sure I was a bit hysteric from being dehydrated
08:10 🔗 schbirid 18<22BlueMax> I yelled at a butt once
08:10 🔗 schbirid ;)
08:10 🔗 BlueMax >___>
10:28 🔗 SmileyG hmmm
10:28 🔗 SmileyG is there chiptune collections on the archive?
10:28 🔗 * SmileyG would search but firefox just froze :D
10:31 🔗 SmileyG grrrr some of the files ended up in video instead of audio D:
10:32 🔗 SmileyG even as admin seems I can't move them
12:26 🔗 SketchCow Ha
14:13 🔗 DFJustin Smiley: I've uploaded a few chiptune collections and plan to add more
14:13 🔗 DFJustin https://archive.org/details/chiptunes-back2roots-2005-02-05
14:14 🔗 DFJustin https://archive.org/details/sndh.atari.org-v42
14:15 🔗 DFJustin https://archive.org/details/XTDPLAY-chiptune-compilation-2009-2011
15:37 🔗 ohhdemgir https://i.imgur.com/ESWIA3h.gif
17:29 🔗 Smiley hmmm
17:29 🔗 Smiley I wish irssi had a autolog loading module
17:29 🔗 Smiley so when i rebooted/restarted irssi, i could scroll back futher without issue
17:29 🔗 Smiley DFJustin: nod, I'm uploading carbo hydro M stuff atm
17:44 🔗 DFJustin I see back2roots has since disappeared :|
17:45 🔗 DFJustin I have a larger torrent of stuff from 8bc that I need to figure out how to organize
17:45 🔗 yipdw Smiley: you can get something similar with znc
17:45 🔗 yipdw it does require more setup than just plain irssi tho
17:46 🔗 Smiley yipdw: I'm concidering modifying the /join command
17:46 🔗 Smiley it should just /lastlog $1; /join $1
17:48 🔗 Smiley sounds like it'd do enough of what I want (multiple reloads would kill it but meh)
17:48 🔗 yipdw oh you just want the lastlog
17:48 🔗 yipdw ok
17:48 🔗 yipdw I thought you wanted a lot more data
18:28 🔗 joepie91_ yipdw: DFJustin: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8034431
18:29 🔗 joepie91_ scribd cofounder responded
18:29 🔗 joepie91_ lol
18:29 🔗 xmc I sawwwww
18:32 🔗 DFJustin fair enough I guess
18:32 🔗 DFJustin now if someone can get that memo to their users
18:32 🔗 joepie91_ was about to say
18:33 🔗 joepie91_ my conclusion from that post is
18:33 🔗 joepie91_ "well fair enough, but they really DO have a branding problem then"
18:33 🔗 joepie91_ though I think they realized that
18:44 🔗 schbirid "So far I've seen Scribd as very annoying pdf host" <- my impression too
18:44 🔗 schbirid i dont even bother clicking links there anymore
19:26 🔗 yipdw joepie91_: I like how the founder basically trashed you
19:26 🔗 yipdw "We see that market as having been made irrelevant by a combination of Google Docs, Dropbox/Box.net/etc., and better PDF readers now built into browsers like Chrome."
19:26 🔗 yipdw scribd be throwing shde
19:26 🔗 yipdw shade
19:26 🔗 joepie91_ nah, that's not how I'm parsing it
19:28 🔗 joepie91_ yipdw: honestly, how I read his response is "our service couldn't be better enough than others to justify building a commercial business on it"
19:32 🔗 yipdw joepie91_: yeah, that's probably a better response
19:32 🔗 yipdw I have a habit of reading the worst into HN posts, because usually that's what they mean
19:32 🔗 yipdw heh
19:32 🔗 joepie91_ :P
19:33 🔗 joepie91_ anyway, I can see how building a commercial business out of instant PDF hosting is going to be a problem
19:33 🔗 joepie91_ thankfully I have no such issue :D
19:33 🔗 yipdw lol
19:33 🔗 yipdw "This looks like duplicated effort to me. Upload the pdf to Google Drive, set the permissions to "people with link can view", and share the link it gives you."
19:33 🔗 yipdw I like how a bunch of "hackers" don't understand that Google Drive requires a login
19:34 🔗 joepie91_ ohai garyrh
19:34 🔗 yipdw HN should be called just, like, "N"
19:34 🔗 joepie91_ hehe
19:34 🔗 yipdw or maybe VCN
19:34 🔗 joepie91_ yeah, VCN
19:34 🔗 joepie91_ is probably better
19:34 🔗 garyrh OHAI
19:34 🔗 joepie91_ garyrh: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8034431
19:34 🔗 joepie91_ scribd co-founder responded
19:34 🔗 garyrh yep, saw that
19:35 🔗 garyrh very cool!
19:36 🔗 yipdw also why do so many people type DMCA as DCMA
19:36 🔗 yipdw it's like they never went to the YMCA
19:36 🔗 joepie91_ yipdw: oh, I've never noticed that
19:36 🔗 yipdw maybe they don't think that it's fun to stay at the
19:36 🔗 joepie91_ I probably just developed a mental filter against that misspelling
19:36 🔗 joepie91_ lol
19:36 🔗 yipdw Digital Copyright Millennium Act
19:36 🔗 joepie91_ :P
19:37 🔗 joepie91_ I still haven't gotten a single DMCA
19:37 🔗 joepie91_ who gave the MAFIAA sleeping pills
19:37 🔗 yipdw (to be fair, "Digital Copyright Millennium" is probably more accurate)
19:38 🔗 yipdw joepie91_: I can file thousands of spurious requests if you wat
19:38 🔗 yipdw want
19:38 🔗 joepie91_ no thanks
19:38 🔗 joepie91_ I only process valid DMCAs
19:38 🔗 joepie91_ :P
19:38 🔗 yipdw you should put an OpenBSD-like tagline up
19:39 🔗 yipdw "No DMCA requests to the default instance in X years"
19:39 🔗 joepie91_ haha
19:39 🔗 joepie91_ "X days since the last valid DMCA request"
19:39 🔗 yipdw ha
19:39 🔗 joepie91_ (with a photoshopped picture of an accident sign)
19:39 🔗 yipdw yeah
19:39 🔗 joepie91_ tempting.. :P
19:40 🔗 yipdw that sounds like a Web service
19:40 🔗 yipdw that you should be able to embed in an iframe
19:40 🔗 joepie91_ hehe
19:40 🔗 joepie91_ BUT HOW WILL I MONETIZE IT
19:41 🔗 yipdw apply to Y Combinator and describe it as a way to apply code to politics
19:41 🔗 joepie91_ some printing-on-demand company e-mailed me, suggesting to add their one-click-print-ordering button to PDFy for affiliate profits
19:41 🔗 joepie91_ (answer is no)
19:41 🔗 yipdw that might work
19:42 🔗 joepie91_ (but still, that's certainly a lot less invasive than other stuff I've seen to 'monetize' stuff)
19:42 🔗 joepie91_ yipdw: hehe
19:42 🔗 yipdw the main problem then becomes avoiding lung cancer induced by all the bros' Axe body sprays
19:42 🔗 yipdw since you will have to go to SF
19:42 🔗 garyrh heh
19:42 🔗 joepie91_ yipdw: I learned a week ago that 'Axe' is called 'Lynx' in the UK
19:42 🔗 yipdw wtf
19:42 🔗 joepie91_ yeah, exactly
19:42 🔗 joepie91_ lol
19:42 🔗 joepie91_ everything in the UK has a different name for some reason
19:42 🔗 joepie91_ like
19:43 🔗 joepie91_ I just recognize /so many/ brands that are sold in NL
19:43 🔗 joepie91_ except with a different name
19:43 🔗 joepie91_ wtf
19:43 🔗 yipdw that's kinda weird actually
19:43 🔗 yipdw AXE evokes metallic, strikes hard and fast
19:44 🔗 yipdw Lynx does too but it's very feline
19:44 🔗 yipdw not sure what's up with that
19:44 🔗 joepie91_ yipdw: http://goodlogo.com/images/extended.info/o/ola/ola_good-humor-heartbrands.gif
19:44 🔗 joepie91_ the UK name is "Wall's"
19:44 🔗 yipdw haha
19:44 🔗 joepie91_ the NL name is "OLA"
19:44 🔗 yipdw Kwality Wall's
19:44 🔗 joepie91_ the other ones are for other countries
19:44 🔗 yipdw what
19:44 🔗 joepie91_ like, wat
19:44 🔗 joepie91_ none of these make any sense
19:44 🔗 yipdw I recognize Good Humor
19:44 🔗 joepie91_ lol
19:45 🔗 yipdw "Streets"
19:45 🔗 yipdw haha
19:45 🔗 joepie91_ that's a stupid name
19:45 🔗 joepie91_ "Good Humor"
19:45 🔗 yipdw it's the US brand
19:45 🔗 joepie91_ yipdw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unilever_brands#Ice_cream
19:46 🔗 yipdw oh right Unilever
19:47 🔗 joepie91_ brand localization is weird
19:47 🔗 joepie91_ :p
19:47 🔗 yipdw it's too bad we can't call Unilever a zaibatsu
19:47 🔗 yipdw because the idea of that is amusing
19:47 🔗 joepie91_ zaibatsu?
19:48 🔗 joepie91_ 17k hits on the frontpage from HN directly...
19:48 🔗 joepie91_ that's... not bad
19:50 🔗 yipdw joepie91_: Japanese term for an industrial or financial conglomerate
19:50 🔗 joepie91_ um, that sounds like Unilever
19:50 🔗 joepie91_ :p
19:50 🔗 yipdw but they're Dutch
19:51 🔗 joepie91_ so? :D
19:51 🔗 yipdw I guess there's no reason why they couldn't be
19:51 🔗 yipdw Unilever yakuza
19:51 🔗 joepie91_ NL doesn't even really have a word for this kind of company
19:51 🔗 joepie91_ we just call it a 'multinational'
20:01 🔗 pft we have to have names for those in the US becuase that's...everything
20:03 🔗 pft i'm sure you've seen this image before http://i.huffpost.com/gen/585370/original.jpg
20:23 🔗 joepie91_ pft: yup
20:23 🔗 pft terrifying
20:23 🔗 joepie91_ indeed
20:33 🔗 joepie91_ https://github.com/icebreaker/floppybird
20:35 🔗 Smiley sigh, where to ask to move items between collections?
20:35 🔗 Smiley Seems I can't edit it after all :/
20:37 🔗 Smiley from opensource_video to opensource_audio
20:40 🔗 SketchCow Tell me what it is.
