04:42 🔗 BlueMax I find HexChat is alright
04:54 🔗 omf_ I try to stay away from viewing anything on google+ but had to because it an article comes so highly recommended. I notice google still wastes all kinds of screen real estate pimping every thing else they make
04:56 🔗 turnkit thanks
06:06 🔗 SketchCow http://www.flickr.com/groups/arcades/pool/with/5673440377/ is rewarding to go through.

09:06 🔗 Smiley -rw-r--r-- 1 tim.bowers games 158G Jun 25 10:06 ./bin/ign/storage/pouet/pouet.net_06052013.warc
09:11 🔗 ersi Why are you grabbing Pouet? Is it owned by ign? :o
09:21 🔗 BlueMax ersi it says ign the line :)
09:27 🔗 Smiley because it's going somewhere appently o something
09:36 🔗 ersi BlueMax: Well, gee - guess where I freggin' got IGN from? Yes, I'm asking because I don't know if that's supposed to be there or not in the path and I did not know IGN owned/operated pouet.net
09:36 🔗 BlueMax :P
09:40 🔗 Smiley lol
09:40 🔗 Smiley no, it's nothing to do with IGN
09:40 🔗 Smiley I just happened to mount the external hdd in the ign dir at the time as I was doing lots of grabs there
09:42 🔗 godane ADD Moment: i found out that underground gamer lost there data
09:42 🔗 godane so the original stuff on there is not coming back
09:42 🔗 godane but a new UG may happen it looks like
09:42 🔗 godane but not with the old admins
09:47 🔗 ersi Smiley: That was my hunch and why I asked :-)
09:47 🔗 Smiley <Mnod>
09:47 🔗 * Smiley wibbles
09:48 🔗 Smiley anyone here use digital ocean?
09:48 🔗 ersi sure
09:48 🔗 Smiley can I turn my droplet into a image?
09:48 🔗 Smiley I want to run the same droplet multiple times now.
09:48 🔗 ersi hmm
09:48 🔗 ersi I don't know, I've just spun up a few basic ones. I'd ask in #digitalocean
09:49 🔗 ersi can't remember which network, but I guess Freenode
09:49 🔗 Smiley we have a winner ;)
09:52 🔗 ersi \o/
09:56 🔗 turnkit Is there a version of wget-warc precompiled for OS X? I friend wants to do a simple scrape save of this site: http://db-in.com/blog/ Can anyone offer me advice?
09:58 🔗 ersi You don't need ""wget-warc"". You just need wget. The 1.14 version specifically. That should help you narrow down to find a binary I guess..
09:58 🔗 ersi wget-1.14 has WARC-support built-in
10:01 🔗 turnkit Thank you. I just read this on the archiveteam site, http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Software, "Backing up a Wordpress site: "wget --no-parent --no-clobber --html-extension --recursive --convert-links --page-requisites --user=<username> --password=<password> <path>"
10:02 🔗 Smiley wow, I helped (I put that there yesterday ;))
10:07 🔗 brayden lol
11:28 🔗 winr4r turnkit: you want WARC if you're ingesting into IA (and archive team uses it for that reason)
11:28 🔗 winr4r if you just want a readable dump of a site, you don't
11:36 🔗 turnkit Thanks Smiley :)
11:36 🔗 turnkit thanks all
12:18 🔗 joepie91 turnkit: you may wish to consider Nettalk also
12:18 🔗 joepie91 (as client)
12:18 🔗 joepie91 it auto-reconnects and auto-rejoins channels
12:18 🔗 joepie91 (if hexchat doesn't work nice enough)
13:07 🔗 omf_ Smiley, I just loaded google plus again. There is the the list of services 10px high, then the search bar with a button to login, then a whole other row just for a giant button in the middle saying 'Join Google+' then a fucking other fly out menu below that before I even get to content
13:08 🔗 omf_ and another join google+ at the end of the article
13:08 🔗 omf_ all this for a blog post that does not need any of that crap
13:09 🔗 omf_ also as you scroll down you get a sticky menu at the top with the center join google+ button and the flyout menu below so I can enjoy having that crap in my face all the time
13:17 🔗 Smiley omf_: ah meh
13:17 🔗 Smiley i'm logged in, i dont get that crap :D
13:21 🔗 omf_ I have been working to move off of google
13:21 🔗 omf_ They can have my search traffic but nothing else
13:27 🔗 Smiley fair enough
16:52 🔗 joepie91 pictures of sploded house in Dordrecht (WTFPL/CC0): http://imgur.com/a/OHNxE
16:57 🔗 ersi what happened to it?
16:58 🔗 ivan` godane: 2.3G www.abandonia.com.warc.gz done, can upload later
16:59 🔗 joepie91 ersi: gas explosion of some sort, details unclear
17:00 🔗 Smiley gypsys stealing gas?
17:00 🔗 joepie91 but
17:00 🔗 joepie91 the most obvious explanation would be a gas leak
17:01 🔗 joepie91 it happened while the guy was showering
17:01 🔗 joepie91 so it's likely to have been an issue with the boiler
17:01 🔗 joepie91 or whatever the English term for it is
17:01 🔗 Smiley boiler works
17:03 🔗 ersi water heater works as well I guess
17:04 🔗 Smiley https://plus.google.com/u/0/107105551313411539773/posts/bdmtFBGM3cs
17:04 🔗 Smiley Thats a stolen gas blown up house
17:04 🔗 Smiley gas started leaking at loads of random points in the area due to the blast
17:04 🔗 Smiley my brother in law had the gas board checking inside his house as he could smell gas
17:45 🔗 omf_ I find this article and the follow up comments which provide some interesting historical insight show why RSS was kinda fucked from the beginning http://www.jwz.org/blog/2013/06/google-reader-apocalypse-extremely-fucking-nigh/
17:46 🔗 omf_ The basis for that idea is that the new way of doing things has worse problems than the nntp way
17:54 🔗 omf_ I just added two more technical q & a to http://pad.archivingyoursh.it/p/faqs what other questions do we see keep popping up
18:06 🔗 winr4r the overall tone is kind of dismissive
18:06 🔗 winr4r "Just staring at it are not going to make it go faster." really, man?
18:07 🔗 godane ivan: was suprise it was only 2.3gb
18:29 🔗 winr4r hey uh, if i edit something on etherpad does it immediately save
18:38 🔗 omf_ no you have to save it
18:38 🔗 omf_ it does stay as long as the pad server is up without saving
18:38 🔗 winr4r okay
18:40 🔗 omf_ winr4r, People complaining about shit being slow happens dozens of times per project and they always mention how they have been watching it or monitoring it. That said this is pad not a wiki page I am using it to work through ideas to make it better. This is a first draft, not a final draft.
18:41 🔗 Smiley answer " MOARRRRR PIPES!"
18:41 🔗 omf_ yes Smiley that is a good answer :)
18:41 🔗 Smiley I think any good FAQ contains some humour, thats all
18:41 🔗 Smiley Such as "That isn't a question, but...."
18:42 🔗 winr4r omf_: i agree that answering the question is a good idea
18:42 🔗 winr4r insulting the person reading it is not
18:42 🔗 winr4r and yes, it's a draft, that's why i offered suggestions
18:42 🔗 winr4r :)
18:42 🔗 winr4r out of smokes, off to the shop, brb

18:52 🔗 omf_ do it
18:54 🔗 Tephra__ added opera and chrome
18:54 🔗 omf_ sweet

20:02 🔗 Ravenloft http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1748556728/the-untold-history-of-japanese-game-developers/posts/514403
20:03 🔗 winr4r hi Ravenloft
20:05 🔗 winr4r hm, dat mould :<
20:05 🔗 winr4r (or mold? i'm not sure if it's "mould" even in british english)
20:06 🔗 winr4r looking at the pattern of it, though, it looks like a lot like the mould you get on camera lenses if they're left in the damp
20:06 🔗 Smiley it's going to be from a finger print I think
20:06 🔗 Smiley theres nothing on a magnetic disk to feed on
20:06 🔗 Smiley same way they found those ants eating cables because they were slightly oily from where someone had handled them
20:06 🔗 Ravenloft Smiley sounds removable then
20:06 🔗 winr4r and that shit *eats into the coatings on glass*
20:07 🔗 Ravenloft winr4r hi
20:07 🔗 Smiley coatings on glass?
20:07 🔗 winr4r Smiley: yes
20:07 🔗 Smiley sourcE?
20:07 🔗 winr4r on lenses, you can remove the mould, but it actually eats into the coatings and so even when the mould has gone you still end up with damaged coating
20:08 🔗 winr4r soultcer: that glass has coating, or that mould eats into it?
20:08 🔗 winr4r shoops, i meant Smiley*
20:08 🔗 winr4r s<tab>
20:09 🔗 winr4r okay, i officially can't type tonight
20:09 🔗 Smiley both really :D
20:09 🔗 winr4r Smiley: lenses with coatings go back way more than half a century so no source for you on that
20:10 🔗 Smiley Ok, just on the mold eating it plz
20:10 🔗 winr4r http://www.truetex.com/lens_fungus.htm
20:10 🔗 Smiley sounds fun
20:15 🔗 winr4r you were right that it was probably from a fingerprint, but when it gets on there the stuff just keeps eating
20:19 🔗 winr4r what i was getting at, is that i'd be very very surprised if anything is recoverable after removing the fungus
20:20 🔗 winr4r but none of this should be read as "you shouldn't try"
20:23 🔗 Baljem generally for lenses the procedure for dealing with fungus involves the bin, unless it's some particularly special glass. but if you're going to use one, best to do it on a sacrificial camera and keep them away from clean lenses in case spores spread
20:23 🔗 Baljem seems to me a similar approach would be useful with that diskette...
20:23 🔗 winr4r Baljem: bit late for that
20:24 🔗 Baljem yeah
20:25 🔗 Baljem but I meant, if you found that somewhere and wanted to try reading it anyway, keep it the hell away from any kit or diskettes you care about ;)
20:25 🔗 winr4r yes
20:25 🔗 winr4r good point
20:26 🔗 winr4r Baljem: and when it comes to glass, once the fungus is gone, you'll find that lenses are pretty usable if you try hard to avoid flare, since it usually only gets the coatings
20:26 🔗 winr4r and on simple lenses, even if it gets the glass itself, that's not so bad
20:27 🔗 Baljem mm, yes, although getting the fungus off it might be more effort than makes sense unless the glass is something special
20:27 🔗 winr4r see also: every photograph made before about the 1950s, which usually had uncoated lens
20:28 🔗 Baljem e.g. a 50mm f/1.8 for a common mount, probably just bin the bugger and pick up another for £5
20:28 🔗 winr4r +es
20:28 🔗 Smiley night all
20:28 🔗 winr4r night Smiley :)
20:29 🔗 Baljem I've got an apparently-very-nice 70-210 sitting in the garage that I was looking forward to using when I 'inherited' it - except it's now totally opaque from fungus - I hate to think how long it'd take to clean :(
20:29 🔗 Baljem night Smiley
20:29 🔗 winr4r Baljem: what mount?
20:29 🔗 Baljem Canon FD
20:29 🔗 Baljem come to think of it, I have an actual New FD 70-210 in my collection anyway, so it's no great loss. but apparently this one was one of the good Vivitar Series 1s
20:29 🔗 winr4r Baljem: hah, funnily enough i bought a T50 with a 70-210mm as well, the 70-210 was fungused beyond belief
20:30 🔗 winr4r if i didn't already own a whole bunch of other FD stuff i'd be upset with that given that i overpaid
20:30 🔗 Baljem Canon 70-210s are ten-a-penny, mine was free with a New F-1 ;)
20:30 🔗 Baljem ouch, overpaid for a T50? :S
20:30 🔗 Baljem I think I paid £25 for mine, although that was with a 50/1.8 so meh
20:30 🔗 winr4r yeah, i got a T50, 70-210mm, 35-70mm, and a bag
20:30 🔗 winr4r what happened was
20:31 🔗 winr4r i took my chances once
20:31 🔗 Baljem I definitely overpaid for my T90 though, seeing as I actually won two auctions and the chap couldn't find the second one and I completely forgot to sort out a refund :-/
20:31 🔗 winr4r i was in a pub with a guy and he said he had a "canon 50" that his dad had with two lenses
20:31 🔗 winr4r so i figured: either a canon EOS 50 with two lenses, or a T50 with two lenses
20:31 🔗 winr4r but i committed to it on the spot, taking the risk
20:32 🔗 winr4r i ended up with the more worthless of the two!
20:32 🔗 winr4r oh dude, i had a T90, i LOVED that thing
20:32 🔗 Baljem heh - well, it was worth a punt anyway ;)
20:32 🔗 Baljem yeah, the T90 is nice
20:32 🔗 winr4r i did that thing where i tried to rationalise my camera collection
20:33 🔗 winr4r out of 15 cameras i could only think of one to sell, which was the T90, because i already had an A-1
20:33 🔗 Baljem mine has a weird fault - everything works fine except the multi-spot metering, yet there's nothing wrong with the actual button (I checked for continuity on the flex board under the palm door)
20:33 🔗 winr4r Baljem: hah, i never figured out how to work the multi-spot metering
20:34 🔗 winr4r but damn, the T90 was a beast, i LOVED that thing
20:34 🔗 Baljem I love the A-1 except I find it difficult to use nowadays - I can barely read the red viewfinder display. the T90's is a much more useful colour (I struggle with red in general)
20:34 🔗 winr4r Baljem: ah :)
20:34 🔗 Baljem still, got two A-1s in the collection. mine and one that came with five other A-series cameras ;)
20:34 🔗 winr4r the A-1 is my favourite camera of all time because of the simple viewfinder display
20:34 🔗 winr4r haha, nice :)
20:35 🔗 winr4r i loved how it was just aperture and shutter speed
20:35 🔗 winr4r the T90 had more shit in it as i recall, so i liked it less
20:35 🔗 Baljem don't forget EEE EEEE if you mess up with the stop-down lever ;)
20:36 🔗 winr4r Baljem: hahaha yup!
20:36 🔗 omf_ you guys have any of the newer cameras?
20:36 🔗 winr4r dude
20:36 🔗 winr4r i put it on my site telling them how to fix the EEE EEEE error
20:36 🔗 Baljem I need to choose a body to try my latest lens out with -- FD 20mm f/2.8 -- should be fun
20:36 🔗 winr4r and i think i've gotten like five emails thanking it for me :)
20:36 🔗 winr4r goodness knows how many other people that *didn't* email me to thank me
20:36 🔗 Baljem omf_: my most recent is an EOS M compact system camera, and a EOS 50D for proper stuff
20:37 🔗 Baljem and then 40+ film bodies for fun
20:37 🔗 omf_ I got rid of all my old cameras, just taking up too much space. I keep two now.
20:37 🔗 omf_ A Canon rebel t2i for joking around and a 5D Mark 2 when I am getting paid
20:37 🔗 Baljem nice
20:38 🔗 Baljem I couldn't justify the expense of a 5D although it's bloody tempting
20:38 🔗 omf_ It is fucking awesome
20:38 🔗 omf_ you can install gpl firmware and do crazy shit
20:38 🔗 Baljem I'm tempted to try the Magic Lantern firmware on my 50D. apparently it now enables video, which makes sense... it came out about a month before the 5D Mk II
20:39 🔗 winr4r i'm torn between another D2H and a pentax K-x
20:39 🔗 winr4r i'm cheap, bitches
20:39 🔗 Baljem nothing wrong with cheap :D
20:39 🔗 winr4r (i killed my D2H on 401,000 shutter actuations, got a D1 from a reader of my site, killed that)
20:39 🔗 omf_ nothing wrong with wanting appropriate value for your money
20:40 🔗 Baljem I'm currently pondering the wisdom of a £35 set of 24 Cokin P-style filters, adapter rings and holder vs. paying proper money to buy the real thing
20:40 🔗 omf_ Now I am looking into expanding my lens collection
20:40 🔗 omf_ I had a lot of them for my film nikon. I stuck with that for years before jumping to the 5dmk2
20:41 🔗 Baljem way I look at it, if I want to cover all my lenses I need 7 sizes of adapter ring. that's 70 quid for Cokin or about 25 for Kood from a local supplier. then add the holder and the two or three filters I actually want... hrm.
20:41 🔗 winr4r omf_: hey, they'll mount on an adapter to your 5d2! :D
20:41 🔗 omf_ nikon mounting on a canon? When did that get worked out
20:42 🔗 winr4r omf_: the flange-to-focal-plane distance is shorter on canon than nikon
20:42 🔗 winr4r short enough that you can get an adapter
20:42 🔗 winr4r as long as it's not a G lens
20:42 🔗 Baljem the Chinese turn out adapter rings for all sorts of lenses these days. just have to make sure the registration distance is different in the right direction
20:42 🔗 winr4r you get stopped-down metering
20:42 🔗 Baljem yeah, what winr4r said ;)
20:43 🔗 Baljem that's the downside of FD glass - FD has one of the shallowest registration distances of all SLR mounts so basically only mirrorless systems are compatible without introducing extra optics :/
20:43 🔗 winr4r Baljem: on the other hand, *everything* is compatible with FD :D
20:43 🔗 winr4r even M42!
20:44 🔗 Baljem yep :D
20:44 🔗 omf_ I just love how advanced cameras have gotten in the digital age. I hated fucking changing rolls of film
20:44 🔗 winr4r canon made a whole bunch of adapters!
20:44 🔗 omf_ I still have boxes of photos left to scan in
20:44 🔗 Baljem they never made one for the Canon 7's special bayonet mount though
20:44 🔗 Tephra omf_: changing film is the best part!
20:44 🔗 Baljem so the 50mm f/0.95 is out of bounds... unless you mangle it with a new mount, as many people do
20:44 🔗 Baljem but mine will remain unmolested otherwise I couldn't use it on the 7 any more, doh
20:45 🔗 winr4r Baljem: oh god, don't tell me people actually mangle one of those lenses
20:45 🔗 winr4r that's like butchering a ferrari so you can put a jet engine in it
20:45 🔗 winr4r i mean i kind of see the logic behind wanting to do so, but nooooo
20:46 🔗 Baljem yeah. I mean, it's not like there aren't better options like the Noctilux
20:46 🔗 Baljem which is apparently sharper. but hell, if you're worried about sharpness at f/0.95 you may be doing something wrong!
20:46 🔗 winr4r buh, if you want clean shots in no light without a tripod use a digital camera
20:47 🔗 winr4r http://lewiscollard.com/img/class365.jpg
20:48 🔗 winr4r as i seem to have a couple of film folks in the house :)
20:49 🔗 Tephra winr4r: love film and digital
20:49 🔗 winr4r Tephra: same :)
20:50 🔗 Baljem nice - you local(ish) then, or did you have to venture far to catch the train? ;)
20:50 🔗 winr4r Baljem: local to that shot?
20:50 🔗 Baljem yeah
20:50 🔗 winr4r about 7 miles south
20:50 🔗 winr4r next stop on the way :)
20:51 🔗 winr4r i had my A-1 with with me, and a tripod, from shooting a bunch of other stuff that day
20:51 🔗 winr4r 15 seconds at f/9.5 as i recall, on kodak ektar 100
20:52 🔗 omf_ I always wondered why so many hobbyist prosumers just take pictures of flowers
20:52 🔗 omf_ I hadn't thought about it before until I saw a recent post making fun of it
20:53 🔗 winr4r omf_: i always wondered why people actually care about what other people take photos of
20:53 🔗 Baljem omf_: in my case, because there are a lot of them around and the buggers don't move ;)
20:54 🔗 omf_ I mean I understand earth porn
20:54 🔗 Baljem I need to practice portraiture as I suck at it, but nobody wants to sit for me. bah.
20:54 🔗 winr4r omf_: if you want to see how much sleep i have lost over that, here it is:
20:54 🔗 winr4r okay, there
20:54 🔗 Baljem and I /really/ need to start planning places to go to take pictures. my back garden is getting a tired of being used for test shots ;)
20:55 🔗 winr4r if you're actually bothered by what other people take photos of, you're spending too much time thinking about that and not taking pictures imo
20:55 🔗 Baljem heh
20:56 🔗 winr4r it's kind of like a race car driver going around and being all like "wow, these people driving on motorways at 70mph, that's kind of weak"
20:56 🔗 omf_ winr4r, did I say I was bothered by it? No. Stop reading into things that are not there
20:57 🔗 winr4r "I always wondered why so many hobbyist prosumers just take pictures of flowers"
20:57 🔗 omf_ yeah wondered != bothered
20:57 🔗 omf_ wondered = interested, I want to the know the why
20:57 🔗 Tephra omf_: as a geologist this is earth porn: http://letslearngeology.com/website/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/folds-pennsylvannia.jpg
20:57 🔗 winr4r the obvious answer is that they like flowers
20:58 🔗 omf_ Tephra, instant boner
20:58 🔗 winr4r Tephra: where is that?
20:58 🔗 Tephra yes rock hard..... ;)
20:58 🔗 ersi epitron: I'm just saying that it's impossible to know what will be "good to have" in the future. Better save/archive too much than too little.
20:58 🔗 ersi epitron: One can always change ones mind about data one has saved. You can't do that with lost data.
20:59 🔗 Tephra winr4r: just random fold somewhere on google images, pensylvania the image says
21:00 🔗 epitron ersi: if we keep doing that, we'll have so much information that we'll never be able to find anything :)
21:00 🔗 ersi epitron: I don't see a problem with being a hoarder.
21:00 🔗 epitron hahah
21:00 🔗 epitron okay, there's where we differ
21:00 🔗 ersi epitron: Besides, there's very few hoarders who contribute time to doing what we do here.
21:00 🔗 ersi We don't hoard shit into a silo
21:01 🔗 omf_ yeah the silo is for storing the bodies of our enemies
21:01 🔗 ersi I don't think any of the ArchiveTeam people hoard, because of the sake of hoarding. Even if I immediately thought of godane when I wrote that..
21:01 🔗 epitron haha
21:01 🔗 omf_ we turn them into mummies and then burn the mummies for fuel
21:01 🔗 ersi omf_: Don't forget about the raped servers
21:02 🔗 ersi and bandwidth bills of our enemies
21:02 🔗 epitron i agree with a lot of the archiveteam's values
21:02 🔗 epitron i like the idea of rescuing people's personal blogs
21:02 🔗 epitron my major concern was triage
21:03 🔗 ersi Well, that's not a primary concern. There's plenty of time to worry about that
21:03 🔗 epitron i think it's kinda pointless to archive tumblr -- especially without archiving the images -- when tumblr isn't going to shut down, and there are many other long-tail RSS feeds that will disappear
21:03 🔗 epitron triage is actaully kinda the definition of primary concern ;)
21:03 🔗 ersi But yes, I think about that a lot as well. And I hope someone will triage and polish our sometimes stupidly large sets of data to something nice
21:04 🔗 ersi epitron: How do you know they're not shutting down any time soon?
21:04 🔗 epitron they're not shutting down before google reader
21:04 🔗 ersi No, that seems unlikely. I didn't say before Reader is cancelled though.
21:04 🔗 ivan` tumblr images stay up even after tumblr blogs are deleted
21:05 🔗 epitron ersi: i'm just talking about triaging what's being scraped from greader
21:05 🔗 ersi epitron: Oh, well say that then. :D
21:05 🔗 epitron ivan`: okay, so people who deleted their blogs by accident will find value in those feeds
21:05 🔗 ersi epitron: I'm speaking about the general data
21:05 🔗 epitron that's probably a very very very small number :)
21:06 🔗 epitron i'd actually look at those deleted feeds to see if they have any value
21:06 🔗 ersi As in all kind of data hoarding projects we do
21:06 🔗 epitron ersi: hey, if you guys want to store everything ever, go nuts :)
21:06 🔗 epitron i think it would be nice to find the valuable things and treat those specially
21:06 🔗 omf_ epitron, we don't question the value of what we save because we are too busy trying to save shit. The value decision comes later, if you disagree you can always just leave
21:07 🔗 omf_ we are not curators
21:07 🔗 ersi I'm just saying that it's likely there's very little short time value. But maybe there's long time value. We don't know.
21:07 🔗 ivan` epitron: these goals are not mutually exclusive
21:07 🔗 ersi We're hoarders, bandwidth vikings and barbarians
21:07 🔗 epitron hahah
21:07 🔗 ersi Grape and pillage
21:08 🔗 epitron Grep and pillage
21:08 🔗 Tephra epitron: the problem is to determine value isn't?
21:08 🔗 omf_ this is how hardcore we are - http://imgur.com/gallery/h04og
21:08 🔗 winr4r jason scott in viking hat, sword in the air, "ARCHIVE ALL THE THINGS"
21:08 🔗 epitron Scrape and Pillage
21:09 🔗 ivan` speaking of all the things, youtube should be part of that
21:09 🔗 ivan` perhaps just 480p for the videos epitron doesn't like
21:09 🔗 omf_ ivan`, the internet archive already does some of that
21:09 🔗 winr4r ersi: not sure a reference to rape should be in the topic
21:09 🔗 epitron i agree that storage is increasing exponentially, and we have the ability to store these ancient things. the problem is that when something is going to be imminently deleted, you have to make some decisions about what to archive.
21:09 🔗 Ravenloft epitron one man's trash is another man's treasure
21:10 🔗 epitron i think the RSS images should be archived as well
21:10 🔗 ersi Is that better then?
21:10 🔗 winr4r ersi: better :)
21:10 🔗 ivan` epitron: but you did not write any code to archive them
21:10 🔗 epitron Ravenloft: some things are trash to everyone ;)
21:10 🔗 * epitron gives Ravenloft a rotten banana peel
21:10 🔗 winr4r and, let's all agree to not mention archiving youtube
21:11 🔗 * ersi takes the banana peel and burns it in his furnace
21:11 🔗 epitron ivan`: i've offerend a bunch of times to archive OPML
21:11 🔗 ersi mmmh, heat
21:11 🔗 winr4r because if that time comes, we're going to be like a guy with a BB gun staring at the ICBM force of the united states
21:11 🔗 Ravenloft epitron maybe for everyone today, but we cant know what will be valuable 100 years from now
21:11 🔗 ersi winr4r: I download most of the youtube videos I get linked and/or watch
21:11 🔗 winr4r it's not going to work out too well
21:11 🔗 winr4r ersi: i try to, too
21:12 🔗 Tephra ersi: do you have a good tool for youtube?
21:12 🔗 epitron "Homer, why are you storing all those old calendars?" "Marge! We may not need them today... or tomorrow.. but who KNOWS what the future will bring!"
21:12 🔗 winr4r Tephra: youtube-dl
21:12 🔗 ivan` https://github.com/ludios/youtube-dl has a thing for re-downloading users without getting captchad
21:12 🔗 ersi Tephra: I use youtube-dl. They keep on a good fight against YouTube
21:13 🔗 Ravenloft I rest my case, the point is that is hard to know beforehand what the future would consider valuable, so, if we can, why not preserve everything?
21:13 🔗 Tephra thanks!
21:13 🔗 epitron i'm sure that the future, there will be generations of 14 year olds creating lots of crap, and people will be hoarding that without reading any of it as well :)
21:13 🔗 epitron *in the future
21:13 🔗 epitron except it'll be super high bandwidth crap

21:14 🔗 ivan` yes
21:14 🔗 ersi oh, it's an org

21:24 🔗 winr4r stuff going back to the 1950s
21:24 🔗 winr4r then they, somehow, managed to lose money with a business model of people giving them money
21:25 🔗 winr4r and then they died
21:25 🔗 Ravenloft I wish there were more wikis good looking and content rich as Bulbapedia
21:25 🔗 ersi xmc: I dunno, neither is confirmed

21:26 🔗 balrog winr4r: :(
21:26 🔗 balrog what we're complaining about is something else though
21:26 🔗 winr4r balrog: i'm talking dozens of photos i've used in my own research too
21:26 🔗 balrog we're complaining about squatters using robots.txt
21:26 🔗 balrog to "remove" archived sites from IA
21:27 🔗 winr4r balrog: oh yeah, fuck those guys
21:27 🔗 xmc ersi:
21:27 🔗 ersi xmc: That the Internet Archive would delete data they are not "allowed" to show any more. I find it extremely unlikely and my personal belief is that they just "dark it"
21:27 🔗 xmc your intuition is correct
21:27 🔗 xmc stop sowing confusion
21:27 🔗 balrog imho, IA should have a list of known squatters, and refuse to retroactively respect robots.txt for those, and only those.
21:27 🔗 balrog of course robots.txt would be respected for new crawls
21:28 🔗 ersi But then again, it's always balrog that takes up this stupid discussion all the time

22:33 🔗 Baljem uh, weren't PostScript / Type 1 / Adobe Type Manager etc. in-house?
22:33 🔗 epitron winr4r: big companies basically can't make software.
22:33 🔗 epitron all they can do is eat startups, and slowly corrupt the programs over time
22:33 🔗 winr4r epitron: that's not true
22:33 🔗 epitron *basically* :)

22:50 🔗 Baljem (although I only glanced at the fountain of knowledge that any idiot can piss in to confirm that... so take it with a pinch of salt, perhaps. but PostScript is what the company was formed to do)
22:52 🔗 namespace "fountain of knowledge that any idiot can piss in"
22:52 🔗 namespace Love it.
22:53 🔗 Baljem ;)
22:55 🔗 ersi Ahhh, Wikipoolia
