[00:49] Important: Exciting changes to your Flickr account [00:49] i'm excited already [00:49] does archive.org really want scene releases? ;) [00:50] ivan`: blacked out I suppose yes [00:51] https://archive.org/details/scene_notice_pack_2010 [00:53] neat [01:01] It is just a bunch of text files [01:21] i'm uploading gphoria 2004 [01:38] so, this isn't exactly the same as the floppy emulator folks were asking for earlier, but it's interesting in its own right: http://goughlui.com/?p=3126 & http://goughlui.com/?p=3246 [01:41] that blog also has a fascinating series on the kryoflux: from what it is/why you would want it, all the way through trying it on disks and solving the issues that happen when trying to dump less-than-perfect condition disks [01:46] that actually sounds exactly like what Coderjoe wanted [03:38] what happen here to this item: https://archive.org/details/Gphoria_Prephoria_2004_With_Commercials [03:39] i think i see now [03:39] it has not fully rsync the item [03:46] its fixed [04:31] somebody asked about virus preservation https://archive.org/details/Viruses-20040521 [04:47] I got that Flickr email [04:47] good luck to us when we try to archive that bastard [05:33] wow is it dead [05:36] upload: https://archive.org/details/Attack.of.the.Show.2008.04.20 [05:45] I finally made some time to start watching game of thrones season 3 [06:09] joepie91: Having to grab flickr images is something that make come up again in the future [06:09] there is plenty of windows tools for it too [06:33] Love the virus [07:02] god how I hate floppies [07:02] stupid embroidery machine is failing to read any disks with designs on them, preventing jobs from getting finished. [07:04] and, because it is an embedded system, it can't just use an off-the-shelf drive. it has to use one set to DS0 and with a different ready/diskchange signaling [07:35] http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2013/05/21/300-old-radioshack-manuals/ [07:35] yay, archive.org items linked publicly \o/ [08:16] Coderjoe: I like floppies... I saved some data on some Verbatim 3.5 inch sized floppy disks in 1998, I put them into my floppy drive a few days ago and they could be read without issues [10:41] https://github.com/meltingice/flickr-store [10:41] joepie91: oo [10:42] looking, as I'm concidering moving all my stuff to gDrive now [10:42] screw yahoo :/ [10:42] that's our motto. [10:42] Ah, no use D: [11:05] Coderjoe: not sure if you saw this earlier- http://goughlui.com/?p=3126 & http://goughlui.com/?p=3246 I wasn't sure if this if what you were you looking for (a USB floppy emulator), but it's pretty close [11:43] nice http://arc.opera.com/ [14:04] hmmm [14:04] wonder if tumblr is going to start using flickr storage [14:12] I noticed that they recently switched from s3 to edgecast for images [14:13] and according to edgecast's front page they serve yahoo [14:15] Cameron_D: heh [14:15] 1. get flickr users paying for storage [14:15] 2. move tumblr images onto the same storage as flickr users [14:16] 3. charge tumblr users for the amount of image space/storage they need [14:16] Is Flickr being owned by Yahoo? [14:16] Just asking [14:16] It is already owned by Yahoo yes. [14:17] Well, if they wish to destroy Flickr, any of the listed options will do fine [14:18] norbert79: well 1. is kind of happening already [14:18] they increased the free boundry to 1Tb, which, yes, is nice [14:18] They are changing pro accounts into a $49/yr for no ads (and nothing else) and then $500 for more storage, maybe another Tb, I forget. [14:19] yes, I read that, which can be still an acceptable step, but the rest will be make tumblr go down for sure [14:19] Indeed. [14:20] Whatever Yahoo touches goes into dust and fades away [14:20] Anyway I'm currently grabbing all my flickr images again, just in case. [14:20] Going to invest in Google drive and see how that feels. [14:21] As it gives me nice easy access, autouploading, etc etc. [14:21] I remember reading an article of the former (?) CEO of Yahoo; she big faced told workers to work in the office, no home office... She should have told everyone else too, that she has a company car and she lives close to the office... Also she proudly returned to work after 2 weeks after the birth of her son (?)... Someone is career oriented [14:22] "Google+ Photos is a great way to upload and share your photos. Photos larger than 2048 pixels use Google Drive storage. You can store an unlimited number of smaller photos for free." [14:22] This is why I like google too [14:22] current CEO, Marissa Mayer - formerly of Google [14:22] Small photos are free :D [14:22] Baljem: Yes, her [14:24] In my experience female leaders never decide upon logic, but upon emotions, which lead to such disaster: http://money.cnn.com/2013/02/25/technology/yahoo-work-from-home/index.html [14:27] Hmmm [14:28] especially during times where companies cut costs by NOT maintining unnecessary offices [14:30] nod. [14:55] norbert79: Flickr has been Yahoo! owned for quite some time now, though. [14:55] ersi: That's why I asked as I wasn't up-to-date behalf of that as not being a FLickr user :) [14:56] Yeah, I'm just filling in that they're not just owning Flickr - but they've actually been owning Flickr for quite some time :p [14:57] Well I found a java based tool for downloading a users flickr stuff (as that user, I've not tried the search yet). [14:58] http://flickredit.javaforge.com/webstart/flickredit.jnlp [14:59] I can't do the java web start on here to test, so I did it in a XP vm. [14:59] I wonder if you can extract the jar though? [15:24] youa re just trying to pull flickr images through their api? [15:41] http://blog.archive-it.org/2013/05/21/the-next-big-thing-archiving-tumblr-in-the-shadow-of-geocities-preservation [15:41] tumblr is fairly huge [15:42] http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/5/20/the-tumblr-architecture-yahoo-bought-for-a-cool-billion-doll.html [15:42] "Posts are about 50GB a day. Follower list updates are about 2.7TB a day." [15:43] Archive-it == Internet Archive by the way [15:44] more like archive-it â Internet Archive [15:46] Tumblr is what I'd classify as "pretty fucking big" [15:49] someone will go CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, wait for it [16:05] Ain't gonna be me, I'mma wait for it [16:24] ouch, github 405d when i was creating a new repo and now it says the repo exists but it doesnt show [19:59] g4tv.com-video48648-flvhd: Star Wars PAX 2010 Panel: http://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video48648-flvhd [22:16] Coderjoe: this is probably the device you want for a floppy emulator: http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/ [23:23] it looks like theblaze.com site is getting backed up more now [23:24] it like jumped in march cause before it was like 10 or few grabs [23:24] which is very bad for archiving a new site [23:24] *news site [23:53] godane, that is your opinion. I like to think the IA has a good idea on how often a site needs to be backed up since it is one of their primary functions. [23:55] i know [23:55] its just better then it was before [23:56] before you only see a few captures a month [23:57] i'm not saying there grabing all of it [23:57] The number of grabs has no discernible correlation to how deep each grab is. [23:58] but at least the front page is being grabed more often [23:58] also i did do a deep grab back in 2012-09-03 [23:59] so we have at least all stories from that far back
