02:45 🔗 shaqfu Blech; the more I work in this field the more I realize it's a dead end
05:34 🔗 DFJustin cool archive.org burped on part 1577 of a 1670-part s3 upload http://archive.org/catalog.php?history=1&identifier=freem-action-2012-06-11
05:54 🔗 underscor DFJustin: Fixed/ing
05:54 🔗 underscor It might fail again though, catalog's going readonly tonight
05:55 🔗 underscor due to ISC fiber upgrades
05:55 🔗 underscor ia7* will be offline
05:58 🔗 Coderjoe whee
06:01 🔗 underscor 1-5am, pst
06:04 🔗 underscor DFJustin: Should be done completely now.
06:05 🔗 underscor I can fix a lot of IA problems now, so feel free to hit me up here or in PM to take a look
06:05 🔗 underscor or if not, I can talk to people who can
06:13 🔗 DFJustin sweet thanks
08:16 🔗 SmileyG Right ok chronomex
08:17 🔗 SmileyG i figure that whoever is sponsoring the hosting used to sponsor something else, invloing 150k domains?
08:17 🔗 SmileyG so..... those are/were on the same h/w
08:17 🔗 SmileyG Making room for archive, they gonna get rid of them. Makes sense right... except that in a way goes against what the archive is about (hense the user concern?)
08:19 🔗 joepie91 SmileyG
08:19 🔗 joepie91 http://sebsauvage.net/paste/?178b86ada62a6ad2#B5dDXlNaoFNr4yQ9tL36GuM491dtdOHKTtLzO/TX5Gs=
08:20 🔗 joepie91 it seems they add a robots.txt to all expired domains
08:20 🔗 joepie91 that makes it disappear from the wayback machine
08:20 🔗 joepie91 if I am correctly understanding
08:24 🔗 chronomex that's messed up
08:26 🔗 ersi joepie91: yeah, welcome to like four years ago. It's not like this is a bug in the Wayback machine. It's something IA people have taken a decision on
08:26 🔗 joepie91 actually my issue was more with the robots.txt people (domainsponsor) than with IA :|
08:27 🔗 ersi You wouldn't be crying if doing that, wouldn't hide the material
08:28 🔗 ersi Also, it's not 'borderline illegal' like some moron said in that paste
08:28 🔗 SmileyG you can copy anything ever, as long as you don't publish it?
08:28 🔗 SmileyG or share it, or consume it in any fashion?
08:28 🔗 joepie91 point is, I understand the reasoning behind hiding stuff based on robots.txt
08:29 🔗 joepie91 and to a degree I can agree with it
08:29 🔗 joepie91 but why?! would you automatically dump a robots.txt that disallows crawling on expired domains
08:30 🔗 ersi Why not? They're expired. Maybe they don't want to have their crappy expired-domain-page indexed?
08:30 🔗 ersi A lot of registrars("sponsors" <- lol at actually using the word sponsors though :D) have 'expired domain' pages.
08:54 🔗 SmileyG ~Yesterday we were flaming users for posting stuff then complaining when it gets archived
08:54 🔗 SmileyG you can't then complain that someone does something to STOP stuff being archived (as long as its their stuff).
09:14 🔗 ersi Of course I can
09:14 🔗 ersi I'm Swedish. We're always of double morales, we're never sure. But we're always loud about our opinions!
09:18 🔗 SmileyG ersi: and now dell just called me to make sure everything was working fine (we had a laptop monitor die the other day). As I said, very good :)
09:22 🔗 ersi that's nice and all
09:38 🔗 SmileyG hehe
09:38 🔗 SmileyG yah
09:49 🔗 BlueMax Never did that with me
09:49 🔗 BlueMax The tech came like 4/5 fucking times and I never got a call back asking me how the product was
09:58 🔗 ersi Maybe they don't like you
10:24 🔗 SmileyG BlueMax: hmmm :D
10:24 🔗 SmileyG Maybe its because I know wtf I'm doing? ';) (Joking...)
10:24 🔗 SmileyG Seriously tho, I dunno, we buy a fair bit of kit but I wouldn't call us large in any regard.
10:34 🔗 GLaDOS We're not large.
10:34 🔗 GLaDOS We just have overpowered servers.
10:34 🔗 GLaDOS Also http://users.asciicharismatic.org/GLaDOS/scr/misc._0157.png
