06:06 🔗 godane i'm grabbing Samurai Archives Japanese History podcast
06:06 🔗 godane its 92 episodes into it
15:04 🔗 godane SketchCow: i'm starting to upload artistserver.com to your ftp
15:04 🔗 godane the mp3s of it anyways
15:18 🔗 chfoo98 # Appears as ARMANDO
15:18 🔗 chfoo sorry about that, just testing
15:19 🔗 chfoo ms chat still works i guess
15:19 🔗 DFJustin haha
15:55 🔗 yipdw wat -> https://www.refheap.com/4a0233b7ea5fb1bd4bad68acc
16:02 🔗 Ravenloft http://www.dustandgrooves.com/rutherford-chang-we-buy-white-albums/
16:36 🔗 Jonimus chfoo: not only does it still work, its actually fairly decent if you need an IRC client that runs on old versions of Windows.
16:36 🔗 Jonimus of course you have to turn off the terrible comic features though
16:53 🔗 phuzion Jonimus: How come? lol
16:58 🔗 Jonimus because they spam the channel you are in of course.
17:48 🔗 Ravenloft "if you need an IRC client that runs on old versions of Windows"
17:49 🔗 Ravenloft old mIRC also works
17:49 🔗 Ravenloft the first versions were 16 bits
17:49 🔗 Jonimus yeah but then you're using mIRC which is a fate worse than death IMO :P
17:51 🔗 Ravenloft I like it :)
17:51 🔗 Ravenloft different strokes for different folks
18:01 🔗 schbirid huh? http://www.knightfoundation.org/grants/201499909/ vs https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure/issues/1698#issuecomment-53745006 wtf
18:01 🔗 schbirid i thought they were developing like mad now
18:06 🔗 DFJustin the old versions of mirc have known security flaws though
19:02 🔗 Ravenloft in old versions of Windows, security flaws is a given overall :)
19:04 🔗 Ravenloft anyone IRCing in it is doing just for the lulz anyway
19:04 🔗 Ravenloft with ancient hardware a *nix flavor would be way more sane
19:07 🔗 yipdw i'm gonna run MS Comic Chat under WINE in an lxc VM and make people wonder if I am leet, newb, or asshole
19:32 🔗 * Smiley ponders if we could use torrents for our space problems short term?
19:32 🔗 Smiley have people grab certain blocks etc.
19:33 🔗 antomatic How about some of those 1tb Dropbox accounts?
19:34 🔗 antomatic The great thing about Dropbox is that it's *so easy* to share stuff between accounts directly
19:34 🔗 antomatic aside from all the space, of course
19:35 🔗 Smiley how do you get a 1tb account? :/
19:35 🔗 antomatic $10/month now
19:35 🔗 antomatic used to be 100Gb, now 1tb
19:35 🔗 Smiley i wish mah google drive had better intergration tbh
19:36 🔗 yipdw i want to point out that twitch, justin.tv, and mobileme are the only projects where we have had space problems
19:36 🔗 * Smiley needs to see if he can push his backups there via cli.
19:36 🔗 Smiley you mean the last 2 of 8 and one a bit futher back?
19:36 🔗 Smiley yipdw: I'd be willing to guess it's going to be a growing problem.
19:36 🔗 yipdw where are you getting 8 from
19:36 🔗 Smiley random number of projects I recall?
19:36 🔗 Smiley some of those weren't warrior :O
19:37 🔗 Smiley the last 2 tho
19:37 🔗 Smiley justin and twitch....
19:37 🔗 Smiley more like that == sad pandas
19:37 🔗 Smiley Right, gotta run, chat bit later maybe.
19:37 🔗 yipdw https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/?query=grab
19:37 🔗 antomatic Blip.tv got controversial too
19:37 🔗 antomatic as i recall
19:37 🔗 antomatic bye smiley
19:40 🔗 yipdw so, the nice thing about space-over-time is that it gets cheaper for IA, too
19:40 🔗 yipdw and we should drum up more donations
19:40 🔗 yipdw I just think Dropbox is ass
19:41 🔗 yipdw and am not really interested in relying on them for storage
19:41 🔗 antomatic Perhaps, but it's 1TB of online storage for rather less than $2,000
19:41 🔗 yipdw because now to upload you suddenly need to have a Dropbox account and give them and Condolezza Rice all sorts of personal data
19:41 🔗 yipdw fuck that
19:42 🔗 antomatic Mm, I'll admit to a sympathy with that POV
19:43 🔗 yipdw I guess you could fake-register
19:44 🔗 yipdw but then you put yourself at risk for account deletion due to ToS violation, and bye bye data
19:45 🔗 yipdw with IA, even if you account goes away, the data is still there
19:45 🔗 antomatic We should collect old USB sticks and build a massiv array
19:46 🔗 godane or start looking at creating those 5PB dvd disks
19:47 🔗 godane anyways i know ohhdemgir as a PB of data
19:47 🔗 godane but i don't think thats free
19:47 🔗 godane *free space
19:48 🔗 yipdw if you've got the money to do any of the above you probably have the money to donate $10 or $20/month
19:48 🔗 ivan`_ storage hasn't been getting cheaper for three years
19:50 🔗 antomatic I bought a 5tb drive today, 6% cheaper than this time last month
19:52 🔗 ivan`_ Seagate? RIP your data ;)
19:52 🔗 antomatic that's what RAID is for
19:52 🔗 antomatic (or equivalent better technologies)
19:52 🔗 godane ivan`_: IA uses Seagate
19:53 🔗 ivan`_ godane: interesting
19:54 🔗 godane i think it was only some Seagate drives that problems
19:54 🔗 antomatic 12% cheaper if you include the retailer discount
19:54 🔗 godane i remember 1.5tb drvies are the ones that keep craping out
19:54 🔗 antomatic Backblaze did a good Blog piece about it..
19:55 🔗 antomatic https://www.backblaze.com/blog/what-hard-drive-should-i-buy/
19:55 🔗 antomatic yes, Seagate naffer-than-your-average, on the older drives
19:55 🔗 antomatic but again, that's what warranties are for
19:59 🔗 SketchCow Where's my hug
19:59 🔗 * antomatic looks around
19:59 🔗 * antomatic embraces nervously
19:59 🔗 SketchCow Shhh, nobody saw
20:08 🔗 godane i'm uploading new episodes of rev3games originals
20:09 🔗 godane its close to being 100 episodes behind
20:09 🔗 godane looks like episode 495 and 498 don't exist anymore
20:09 🔗 godane i can prove that 498 episode existed but i can't download it
20:20 🔗 godane i'm grabbing the youtube copy of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtUaQPJK8FI
21:18 🔗 ohhdemgir cial situation at ia.. storage per GB is getting ever cheaper though so that's something .. urghh money, dirty, necessary evil!!
21:18 🔗 ohhdemgir godane, yipdw antomatic USB arrays? wut, are we talking the slowly filling arrays at ia and cost again? I'd donate I'm just terrible frugal atm, even though I've spent silly amount on getting 1.2PB of storage with everything else I'm cheap!! :| donating $50/month doesn't go far when you think it's costing $2k/1TB stored, I imagine the big donations are what keeps ia afloat, though I wont pretend to know anything about the finan
21:19 🔗 yipdw $50/month/person * 40 people = $2000
21:19 🔗 yipdw not that bad
21:20 🔗 yipdw also re crowdfunding, given https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/324283889/potato-salad is possible, I refuse to believe the problem is merely numbers
21:26 🔗 ohhdemgir how do we market help save all the data better than we are currently? I think the best angle is the wayback machine as it's the most used service right?
21:27 🔗 yipdw i think one way would be to curate a Ferguson, MO archive
21:28 🔗 yipdw it does have the stink of opportunism but it does show the cultural importance of IA
21:28 🔗 DFJustin https://archive.org/details/fergusonmissouri
21:28 🔗 yipdw but don't use it as an incentive to donate; get it up and running and just make sure the donation link and rationale is accessible (ideally on the same page)
21:28 🔗 yipdw DFJustin: yeah
21:29 🔗 DFJustin but with more than 4 things in it I guess
21:29 🔗 yipdw also perhaps on http://blog.archive.org/
21:30 🔗 yipdw wayback is very cool, but I think it is really only used by internerds
21:31 🔗 yipdw it doesn't yet have the same sort of cultural relevance that twitfacetube etc have
21:31 🔗 yipdw solving that would be a cool problem too
21:33 🔗 yipdw maybe we can get Mozilla/Google to ship an enabled-by-default extension that offers wayback results when Firefox/Chrome hits 404s
21:33 🔗 yipdw IMO the only people who would be angry about that are slashdot commentators who think that that is somehow corrupting the meaning of HTTP 404
21:36 🔗 ohhdemgir 404 (kinda)
21:36 🔗 yipdw it is still a 404
21:36 🔗 schbirid i would be scared of that leading to more people disallowing ia
21:37 🔗 schbirid "if i say 404, i dont want people to recover my deleted stuff"
21:37 🔗 ohhdemgir fuckers
21:37 🔗 yipdw schbirid: possible, but then they should learn about 410
21:37 🔗 yipdw actually that wouldn't help
21:37 🔗 yipdw never mind, there is no technical solution for that
21:38 🔗 yipdw I guess at that point we have the much harder problem of getting people to think of the web as a publishing and distribution system
21:50 🔗 godane where is the auido of this: https://web.archive.org/web/19970715233248/http://www.packet.com/packet/hotseat/97/07/index4a.html
21:50 🔗 godane bad news is the ram file is a pnm link
22:06 🔗 Famicoman godane, do you keep a list of files you can't find?
22:06 🔗 DFJustin wow 2 whole terabytes
22:07 🔗 DFJustin they should do a torrent of the entire 1997 internet
22:08 🔗 Famicoman godane, what the hell is rev3games originals? How did I miss that?
22:09 🔗 godane there sort of a collection of rev3games shows
22:09 🔗 Famicoman oh, it's still going on
22:09 🔗 godane yes
22:10 🔗 godane i also got luckly and found the youtube version of episode 498
22:11 🔗 godane Famicoman: i saved this from the youtube stream https://archive.org/details/rev3games-25-hour-extra-life-charity-livestream-part1
22:11 🔗 godane and part 2 https://archive.org/details/rev3games-25-hour-extra-life-charity-livestream-part2
22:11 🔗 godane parts of it are in rev3games originals
22:12 🔗 Famicoman I wonder if 498 ever went on the site
22:12 🔗 Famicoman they have a ton of holes in their show catalogs
22:13 🔗 godane check here: https://web.archive.org/web/20140701022637/http://revision3.com/rev3gamesoriginals/feed/mp4-hd30
22:13 🔗 DFJustin damn, looks like it still existed as recently as 2009 http://simson.net/page/HotSeat
22:14 🔗 Famicoman that's weird
22:15 🔗 godane episode 495 on the other i have no idea
22:24 🔗 DFJustin wow while poking around, found out this earlier interview is still up http://web.archive.org/web/19970712133735/http://www.real.com/contentp/npr/nb6o01.html
22:24 🔗 DFJustin http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1030439
22:24 🔗 DFJustin download.npr.org/real.npr.na-central/raarchives/me/nb6o0101.ra
22:56 🔗 godane DFJustin: thanks
22:56 🔗 godane i will see about download all i can of this
23:00 🔗 godane i figured out the patten
23:01 🔗 DFJustin mwahaha
23:01 🔗 godane for example october 16, 1996 is this url: download.npr.org/real.npr.na-central/raarchives/me/nb6o1601.ra
23:03 🔗 godane september 3 1996 for example: download.npr.org/real.npr.na-central/raarchives/me/nb6s0301.ra
23:44 🔗 godane some bad news about december 1996
23:44 🔗 godane i think they used another host for half of the month and they don't have in there archives
