[00:16] S[h]O[r]T: thanks. let me know if it's failing to connect [01:22] if you are getting 351.3KB/s there is no need, server goes down tomorrow [01:22] I might be able to wget most of it from a site that has mirrored it and upload the rest with my tiny upstream [01:24] in theory that other peer I don't know might stay connected but unlikely [01:24] well i was getting 2-3MB/s at home but idk why my server is only getting 300 [01:24] ill start it back up at home [01:24] server is gigabit [01:25] could you just rsync it somewhere to me? [01:25] instead of having to deal with the torrent bs [01:25] or tar it and i can grab it [01:25] rsync has even worse performance than bittorrent [01:25] I have an ftp server you can get it from [01:25] try 20 connections [01:26] sec [01:26] rsync is fine if you dont compress [01:27] the problem is that TCP to OVH's datacenter in France does not go fast [01:27] over the Atlantic, that is [01:28] i can look at the paths if i have a specific ip to see if i can improve them when i grab [01:28] even utorrent hates that torrent a bit lol [01:29] PMed [03:34] omf_: S[h]O[r]T is grabbing it, don't worry about it [05:11] so season 8 of hak5 is getting uploaded now [05:11] also i noticed that meta text file is now a sqlite file [06:00] so i'm doing more blute force grab with torrrentbytes.net fourms [06:01] i'm just going to go though 1 to 94000 topicids [06:01] i feed that in a index.txt file then just add --mirror and it should work [06:02] i will grab the fourmid pages later [09:59] The joke about the UK porn filter, is this [09:59] Parents will tehn attempt to sue the ISP's for failing to block all the porn [09:59] when some gets through the net. [10:08] Are they going to block images people snapchat each other that is pornographic? [10:09] what about downloading a zip file of images, oh my! [10:15] omf_: :) [10:15] it'll come up with a page saying "this is blocked, click here to continue" :D [10:15] As long as you can turn it off, i don't care. [10:22] Anyone try out one of these el chepo tablets? http://www.walmart.com/ip/XELIO-7-Tablet-With-4GB-Memory/23709345 [10:27] Everyday more of these things seem to pop up [10:31] I think the race to the bottom puts cost pressure on the higher end models [10:50] I am listening to Ennio Morricone and I highly recommend it to others. [11:37] Smiley: And then suddenly, there won't be a "click here to continue" [11:37] Boom! It's called a slippery slope. No pun intended with the porn context [11:38] I am all about slopes and planes ^_^ [12:41] When crawling a crazy ass website, this is how I feel --> http://i.imgur.com/INmHVKv.jpg [12:47] I'm expecting something really good now [12:47] * ersi clicks [12:47] Was not disappointed [12:48] Be very wary of gas pipes :) [12:48] Released 25 years ago today [12:48] Wat [12:48] 25years ago for die hard? D: [12:48] yeah you old bitch [12:49] better start the botox ;P [12:49] :D [12:50] That movie has such amazing cinematography, the framing for scenes was excellent [12:50] I think modern action films should be doing that more [12:50] I think most modern action films should die hard, as well [12:56] I agree. They do not *have* to be sequel machines [12:59] holy hell really [12:59] is Die Hard 25 years old [13:01] yep, today on the dot [13:01] Wow [13:03] ââ¦â¦â [15:59] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYiPmqjFEqQ [16:00] I have never used an Apple II and for some reason I really want to [16:00] then again that could be said for ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64 [16:01] nice will have to try that on my //c later [16:02] Oh wow that is nutty [16:04] apple II is a lot of fun to use [16:05] Yeah I really want to try one, I just don't know where I can get one [16:05] c64 has more of a learning curve, and I've had a lot of trouble with the hardware [16:05] Been surviving on emulators mostly [16:06] ebay is pretty much your main option at this point, I think all the thrift shops have cleared them out by now [16:06] I was lucky enough to get several boxes of stuff at a rummage sale around 10 years ago [16:08] well luck, and going to a lot of rummage sales with bupkes :P [16:09] the //c is convenient because it has a floppy drive and several expansion cards built in [16:10] man, emulators are just going to get more and more important aren't they [16:11] definitely, I have two C64s but they are both faulty now, this stuff is not going to work forever [16:12] did anyone ever try to make clone C64s / ZXs / Apple 2s / Atari 800s? There's a lot of clones like the RetroNs for consoles so I'm surprised I haven't heard of any for the retro PCs [16:14] I mean I heard how Commodore USA tried to release a computer with built in emulators and such, basing the computers around the old C64 keyboards [16:14] did that ever go anywhere? [16:14] it came out but nobody really cared I think [16:15] since it was just a modern pc with a weird case and the same ol software emulators [16:15] shame that :/ [16:15] no ability to use old peripherals etc [16:17] it's going to be slightly odd, almost like an animal extinction event [16:17] one day in anywhere between next year to twenty years [16:18] we might be hearing something along the lines of "last known working Commodore 64 in museum" [16:18] then a year later, "Commodore 64 officially extinct" [16:19] Commodore One is you guys looking for [16:22] Commodore One, norbert79? I've never heard of it [16:23] BlueMaxim: Hang on [16:24] http://c64upgra.de/c-one/ [16:24] No idea if still an active project or not [16:24] but it started long time ago [16:24] and in the scene groups Commdoore 64 is still beloved [16:25] the most used extension used with a C64 is the SD card reader [16:26] gonna be a real shame when none of them work anymore. [16:29] hmm [16:29] it appears the one was discontinued [16:29] for a multiple use C64 cartridge [16:29] that's really disappointing. [16:34] then again to be fair, a clone system will never be able to replace the original [16:48] that cartridge does look pretty sweet though [16:48] problem being you need a C64 to use it. D: [16:49] actually you don't, read closer [16:51] oh. my bad. dumb me. [16:53] I wonder if that would override the faulty parts on my c64 and make it work [16:54] since it has its own cpu, ram, etc. [16:54] something tells me I shouldn't go getting this though, this seems like real expert-level equipment [16:58] the canadian store also sells amigas, goodbye money [17:00] http://www.vesalia.de/e_amigaone500[7800].htm [17:00] what [17:00] the hell is this [17:01] is this seriously a modern day low-end PC with Amiga software on it [17:01] no I think it's for the later powerpc versions of amigaos [17:02] amiga kind of tottered along a lot longer than most people realize [17:03] oh [17:03] so it's basically [17:03] a thousand-Euro [17:03] Amiga PC [17:04] that's a ppc board [17:04] amiga diehards are scary [17:05] that's incredible [17:05] to be honest I'd love one though [17:09] http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge [17:37] BlueMaxim: I do have to say that that looks quite sexy [17:37] not just the design [17:37] but also the design and component rationale [17:41] the question is, will they be able to pull in 32 million in a month [17:41] if they do, that'd be the most successful public crowdfunding venture by far [17:42] yeah I'm not too excited about paying $600 for a smartphone that wouldn't come until next year [17:43] * joepie91 mumbles something about Pandora [17:46] I actually have one of those... [17:46] not proud. [17:48] The disappointing thing is [17:48] With today's tech and device sizes [17:48] it would be possible to make an awesome Pandora-like pocket PC [17:49] just that nobody has the guts to do it. :| [17:56] what's non-awesome about pandora other than the pricetag and long wait, I haven't really been keeping track [17:57] you know what I've not heard mentioned recently? the phantom [18:01] DFJustin, the performance is pretty sub-par (I'm working off a first gen unit though, the upgraded ones might be better) and a lot of units came botched [18:01] like mine only had half the battery time advertised and N64/PSX emus wouldn't work properly [18:02] to put it in basic words [18:02] the computer side wasn't very good [18:02] and the emulator / homebrew side could be done better through a hacked PSP [18:02] I replaced my Pandora with a netbook about a month later and was a lot happier [18:03] wikipedia says the phantom was cancelled amidst financial problems [18:03] Daaaaw [18:03] it needs to make a sudden kickstarted comeback ;) [18:05] this looks interesting although it's not a full pc and the specs are on the low side http://www.gcw-zero.com/ [18:05] DFJustin, been looking into one of those myself [18:05] my advice is wait [18:05] they're still working on production line issues [18:07] it's a shame the Vita doesn't have native homebrew support [18:08] BlueMaxim: you can write code with the psm sdk [18:08] yes balrog but the PSM VM is so weak it can't run NES at full speed [18:08] not quite the same as unfettered homebrew [18:13] it's a shame there hasn't been one amazing open source handheld [18:15] how about the up coming ubuntu phone, now with crowdsoucing! [18:16] * BlueMaxim vomits violently all over Smiley [18:22] It'll probably be awesome [18:22] I can only hope they apply some of the lessons android had to learn [18:40] anyone grab the video linked from https://pay.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/1iskxk/researcher_posts_video_of_apple_intrusion_with/ before it went private? [18:51] http://web.archive.org/web/20130722035419/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q000_EOWy80&gl=US&hl=en [18:53] holy hell [18:54] didn't know Archive.org acted that fast [18:54] they've really stepped up their game lately [18:57] wow, cool, thanks [18:59] classy [18:59] also, I've noticed that archive.org availability is nearly instant nowadays [19:00] it doesn't have the actual video, does it? [19:00] sure does [19:00] they have some javascript magic to replace youtube's player object with their own [19:01] ha! [19:01] i'm starting to uploaded techcrunch.com 2010 urls [19:15] HEY WHO KNOWS ABOUT HARDWARE HERE [19:16] sort of [19:16] i have an old-ass ATI card with a fan on it, which is running too loudly [19:16] is it safe to disconnect the fan? [19:16] maybe not, you are likely to get video corruption and gpu crash [19:16] even if i'm not gaming and shit? [19:17] safer on windows vista+ where the video driver will restart [19:17] consider buying a passive card with no fan for $30ish [19:17] yeah, i think i might [19:17] on the other hand, reluctant to do that when i'll be replacing it in a month or two [19:17] (it is a pentium 4 with an AGP card) [19:18] that is ancient [19:18] yeah, works okay with ubuntu 10.04 though! [19:18] might be worth replacing the fan, a new one might be quieter [19:19] I keep my computer in a closet [19:19] try blowing it out with compressed air [19:19] DFJustin: tried [19:20] and yeah disconnecting the fan will probably just BSOD the system [19:21] okay, i'm glad i asked :) [19:23] i was having *other* problems with crashes because it had bad memory, which i un-mapped in the kernel, and if i had unplugged the fan i wouldn't have known if it was the fan-unplugging or more bad RAM [19:23] so thaaaanks [20:48] http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge [20:48] wuut [20:51] "to provide a low-volume, high-technology platform" [20:51] yeah uh, welcome to the real world where high-volume and just-good-enough always wins [20:52] ask apple about that [20:52] help teach Canonical how to produce phones with your money ;) [20:54] 630$ for a pretty cool phone isn't super much ;o [20:55] and it'll have a stock android port in short order. [22:39] Apparently I could now get 500/100 connections speeds (for some fairly ridiculous amount of money) [22:39] at home [22:39] nice [22:40] I have something like 60/10 [23:27] The HN crowd is masterbating over another new web scraping framework. It was written for a news organization and just sits atop nokogiri and tries to add a helpful dsl. Also everyone has to suggest their own paid solution as an option. Ugh comments as ads [23:27] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6086031 [23:27] This is like the re-occuring python scrapers that keep coming up [23:29] At the same time ArchiveTeam has amazing software software doing all kinds of interesting bits and yet are they all up in our shit? Not really. [23:31] Here is the code online with an MIT license https://github.com/propublica/upton It is just two small library files [23:33] hners love them some tiny bit of content that exists to push a big unsubtle advert [23:34] I just wish it wasn't called Hacker News because hacking takes a back seat to startup bullshit [23:44] so i'm finally grabing torrentbytes.com the right way [23:45] i made a index of all forumid pages [23:46] then got all urls topicid pages from that [23:46] i had to add action=viewtopic to all urls cause of the way the links are on topicid pages [23:46] forumid pages have no action=viewtopic in the topicid urls [23:47] if anything this will mostly like will not be in archive.org wayback machine [23:47] only cause the robots ban everything
