[00:56] <dashcloud> http://dealnews.com/Newsgroup-Direct-1-TB-block-of-Usenet-for-40/658600.html
[01:01] <dashcloud> not sure how many folks would be interested in that who don't already have it, but I thought I would pass it along just in case
[01:02] <godane> its temping
[01:06] <godane> anyways i'm uploading cnet buzz out load
[01:12] <joepie91> ersi: oh dear
[01:15] <godane> i'm doing nov 2006 right now of it
[01:43] <dashcloud> godane: the page says the deal is for today only, so if you do want it, get it sooner rather than later
[01:45] <godane> i use astraweb
[01:45] <godane> so i can get 1tb for like $50
[01:46] <godane> also i don't download much on usenet
[01:46] <chronomex> but you COULD
[01:46] <SketchCow> My new theory is that there are dozens of people contributing to bitsavers.
[01:46] <chronomex> sounds likely
[01:47] <SketchCow> Because another few dozen documents, some of them hundreds of pages long, are in since FRIDAY
[01:48] <godane> i have theory have how much data a bluray disk would need to be as lasting has cds wore
[01:50] <godane> the theory is you need at least 70 to 100 times the data in current maximum hard drives
[01:51] <godane> best on that you need at to hit ~200TB a disk
[01:52] <godane> this theory is based on the fact that dvd came out when hard drives start to hit the 4-5gb range
[01:53] <godane> and bluray didn't come out until hard drives was at the 400 to 500gb range
[01:56] <godane> the optical disk is only hit the 5 to 10 times of hard drives when made

[03:49] <balrog_> what's the best way to tell wget to not keep directories in . when using warc?
[03:49] <balrog_> I just want to download warcs
[03:49] <balrog_> (what am I doing? setting up a script to periodically download a very volatile ftp directory on a particular server where stuff doesn't last very long)
[03:50] <illunatic> what is the man for wget, 50 pages?
[03:50] <balrog_> it's pretty long and --warc-tempdir doesn't help so I'm assuming I need yet another param
[03:51] <illunatic> can you rephrase your goal/problem?
[03:52] <balrog_> I don't want wget-warc to leave around non-warc downloaded contents of the site
[03:54] <illunatic> hold on i need to install bzr
[03:54] <illunatic> heh
[03:55] <illunatic> done
[03:57] <illunatic> http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wget_with_WARC_output
[03:59] <balrog_> illunatic: "This will download the file to index.html, but it will also create a file at-00000.warc.gz." see I don't want it to download the file to index.html
[03:59] <balrog_> I wonder if -O /dev/null will work
[03:59] <balrog_> hm
[04:00] <balrog_> nope
[04:02] <illunatic> so you're just getting warc for the first time?
[04:03] <balrog_> no
[04:03] <balrog_> I've done warc before
[04:03] <balrog_> but in this case I want to store *only* warc
[04:03] <balrog_> and discard the download files
[04:03] <balrog_> since the warc contains them anyway
[04:11] <illunatic> i'm trying to install for the first time
[04:11] <illunatic> i don't have makeinfo and it's not in these repos so going to go find it
[04:13] <illunatic> texinfo
[04:21] <illunatic> can't get it to register that i have texinfo
[04:21] <illunatic> it looks for makefile still

[18:31] <balrog_> SketchCow: I suppose you've heard about what happened to Sellam Ismail's collection? (probably old news to you)

[18:38] <balrog_> (of the ebay auctions that keep increasing, from more and more sellers even)
