[08:38] SketchCow: here are some of the geekbeat episodes in the opensource_movies collection: https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3A%22opensource_movies%22%20AND%20%28subject%3A%22GeekBeat.TV%22%29 [08:39] please put them in the geekbeat.tv collection [08:41] godane: Fixed [08:43] thanks [08:45] also know i'm up to episode 470 of tekzilla [08:45] so we are only 7 episodes behind right wno [08:45] *now [09:46] SketchCow: Also why is this in texts section: https://archive.org/details/geekbeattvreviews [09:46] i'm also really thinking that we should make the revision3 collection now [09:46] we have tons of collections now [11:48] wtf. looking to clean a printerhead and this popped up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaClxZfVskg [11:49] my eyes are burning. [13:34] http://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1q0cjw/on_the_road_to_one_petabyte_full_setup_detailed/ [13:34] impressive [13:42] Cameron_D: why is there no "upload to IA" button in the r/datahoarder sidebar [13:42] :) [13:44] I'm considering writing some stuff for the subreddit on web scraping/archiving [13:44] yes! [13:58] * deathy now has to buy some HDDs ..damn you datahoarder [14:58] hmmmmmm [14:58] this is interesting [14:58] http://gigaom.com/2013/11/05/better-late-than-never-apples-reluctant-entry-to-the-surveillance-debate-and-what-it-means/ [14:58] click download in embedded frame -> instant download [14:59] go to standalone scribd page and click download -> loginwall [14:59] looks like there's a workaround for the loginwall then :) [17:29] wut, a pebble announcement? [17:30] joepie93: http://images.apple.com/pr/pdf/131105reportongovernmentinforequests2.pdf [17:31] oh, interesting... [17:39] (always fun, accidentally finding a timerwall/loginwall/paywall bypass :D had that before with putlocker) [18:29] http://edition.cnn.com/2011/11/10/world/africa/rhino-extinct-species-report/ [18:45] SketchCow: does IA have any plans for building google-labs-style book scanners? I.e. using two gutted 1200dpi scanners mounted together at a right angle and a vacuum scheme to turn pages [19:02] Lord_Nigh: I discussed this; those are fairly rough on books, especially older ones [19:19] it looks like i can upload again [20:09] balrog: doesnt google cut out the back of the book so they can scan quicker? again, not really nice for the books ;) [20:10] M1das_: depends (and I agree though I'd do that too for "common" books) [20:11] for common books it's ok, if there are 100+ books available [20:12] i might start scanning some books at home with a simple camera, 2 lights and a some other dandy stuff, have alot of old pre 1800 books here [20:30] Lord_Nigh: No. [20:30] No, that's not happening. [20:34] I worry cheap digital cameras would quickly burn out their flash memory if used as a bulk scanner :P [20:35] Hopefully expensive ones would only wear out replaceable flash memory ;) [20:35] that's a slightly unfortunate choice of verb, perhaps! [20:36] most digital cameras have a RAM buffer and use memory cards for storage... [20:36] oh, right, that. [20:37] The ones I have seen have some built-in memory too. (so you don't need an SD card) [20:38] I can envision the cheap firmware being hard-coded to write to the internal memory before copying to the external media. [21:11] phillipsj: a lot of DSLRs do that for write buffering [21:11] it's not a matter of cheap vs. good though [21:11] * yipdw has a 5D mkII and Rebel XTi that are still going along [22:04] http://m.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Internet-Archive-s-S-F-office-damaged-in-fire-4960703.php <- 'when a scanner sparked'? so one of the scanners started the fire? that's surprising... [22:04] given those things are so expensive [22:07] The scanners did not like how they were being used and so revolted. [22:15] IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device [22:15] Fuck. [23:10] static electricity + paper? [23:18] lolling https://twitter.com/sriramnrn/status/398175533684383744 [23:34] If you built the scanners in a cloud, they never would have caught fire. [23:34] oh shit [23:36] Plus cloud-based book scanning is a lot more scalable since you can just add extra Amazon EC2 instances whenever you need. What do you mean I can't do everything in the cloud? [23:50] so i'm uploading more tech news today [23:50] godane: tech news? [23:59] its a show from TWiT
