[01:45] i'm updating the tekzilla collection [06:20] chfoo: I'm trying out wpull master and for some reason DOM snapshots aren't ending up in my .warc.gz (maybe I need another argument?) [06:20] also, when it finished grabbing a blogspot dynamic views blog, [06:20] ERROR Fatal exception. [06:20] Traceback (most recent call last): [06:20] AssertionError [06:20] File "/home/at/.local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/wpull/engine.py", line 178, in _process_input [06:20] assert url_item.is_processed [06:22] ivan`: are you talking about the very latest master? the one i pushed 22 minutes ago? [06:22] yep [06:23] chfoo: oh, sorry, it's there, I was incompetent with less [06:24] very cool that this finally exists [06:27] still has bugs though judging how i'm also getting assertion errors now [06:30] hmm, i tried it on a dynamic blog and scrolling the page at unrealistic rates seems to miss images [06:32] chfoo: unrealistically slow or fast? [06:32] I had a similar problem with poltergeist on patch.com [06:33] it sets the viewport scroll top value exponentially but only sends a page down event [06:33] ie, jump to 0px, 1000px, 2000px, 4000px etc [06:36] oh [06:36] there are some loader scripts that will only load what's in view [06:36] I wonder what phantomjs has for the browser viewport size [06:37] heh, i set mine to 1024x768 [06:37] what happens if you set it to like [06:37] 1024x8000 [06:37] or something with enough height to account for the maximum scroll step [06:38] like, if you cap out at +2000px per step, maybe a height of 2000px [06:40] chfoo: blogspot dynamic views may dynamically swap images in and out as you scroll [06:40] unless they changed that in the last year [06:40] also, they don't give the image a width= or height= so it causes very slow reflows [06:41] not my favorite piece of javascript [06:42] i tried it out with scrolling only by 1000px each time and it seem to load all the images except the last one. i'd likely make the defaults more conservative but provide more options for tweaking the values [06:44] not that this is helpful in any way but let me complain about blogspot some more [06:44] scroll down on http://thehamiltonproject.blogspot.com/?view=classic long enough and you get mysteriously redirected to http://e.4shared.com/linkerror.jsp?cau=del [06:44] they can't even keep their JavaScript from randomly redirecting to hrefs the user put somewhere [06:45] oh, lol [06:45] the page i'm testing is http://blog.bufferbox.com/ [06:50] I also get 403 Forbidden when I POST to http://www.google.com/tools/feedback/submit? [06:50] I don't think Google wants any feedback :) [06:53] i was about to say the same [07:04] ah yes reported 5 months ago https://productforums.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=topic/blogger/tWhxy5WvYg4#!topic/blogger/tWhxy5WvYg4 [07:04] the cause is a framebusting script on 4shared doing if(self!=top){top.location=self.location}; [07:11] i'm going to keep in mind of the page.navigationLocked feature in phantomjs [10:56] I sold my soul to the devil and bought a printer [10:57] what would the warranty claim be on a Hell model printer [10:57] "yeah hi my printer started spitting out horsemen of the apocalypse, can you send someone to fix it" [11:11] BlueMaxim: hehe [11:12] BlueMaxim: well, to be fair, it's a Canon all-in-one [11:12] those are usually fairly trouble-free [11:12] and so far it has worked pretty well, although the "experimental" label on the SANE backend driver wasn't a lie :P [11:12] (it tends to get very confused when using the ADF scanner) [11:14] those were words. [11:18] BlueMaxim: most of them [11:19] anyway, it was the cheapest model they had, showroom model, on clearance sale because the store is closing up shop [11:19] so I'm not terribly concerned [11:19] even if it turns out to be a disaster, I'm only 50 euro out [11:19] not bad I guess. [11:26] BlueMaxim: it's a decent price for having a scanner that isn't from the stone age [11:26] even if every other part of it breaks [11:26] though I kinda hope the printer keeps working, because that's what I bought it for lol [11:27] so yeah, I can now also finally print labels instead of having to handwrite them [11:28] (barcodes!) [12:27] Printers are pretty cheap these days [12:27] but the ink is usually horribly expensive [12:27] Where's my open-hardware printer, damn it! [12:27] and open-software printer [12:32] dell laser printer on groupon, 100 euro's [12:43] ersi: the XL cartridges for this type are 18 euro [12:43] supposedly "600 pages" [12:43] lol [12:43] so still a rip-off, but not as much of a rip-off as most others [12:56] so that's like 1/3 of the printer for one cartridge [12:59] ersi: ya [14:37] labelprinter ftw [14:37] without a labelprinter i would be fucked. [14:44] midas: not a labelprinter [14:44] just a regular inkjet [14:44] the Action sells A4 label sheets :) [14:44] that can be used in any inkjet printer, and I believe even in laser printers [14:44] like 95 cents for 15 x 24 labels or some shit [14:50] hm, last time i tried to print labels in my laserprinter i got a bill of 950 euro's [14:50] so ill pass :p [14:54] midas: wat, how [14:55] "used for laser printers, inkjet printers en copiers" (lol translation fail) [14:55] stuck to the drum, got hot, melted against the phases [14:55] on the packaging of these labels [14:55] ... lol [14:55] phaser then started to burn away [14:55] yay for labels [14:56] ha [14:56] midas: but yeah, these explicitly list as being intended for laser printers and copiers too [14:56] so these would probably be fine [15:13] not trying that again :P [15:13] have a dymo labelwriter now [15:28] ooh https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26361455 docs that Yanukovych dumped in the lake, are now drying in the presidential sauna [15:38] "Unfortunately, there are issues with undesirable images within the data. It would appear that a surprising number of people use webcam conversations to show intimate parts of their body to the other person." [15:38] - GCHQ, about intercepted Yahoo webcam conversations [15:39] I don't think I'll finish laughing about this today [16:11] huh... http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/26/5449826/google-youtube-must-remove-innocence-of-muslims-video-in-copyright-suit [16:37] so looks like i will be able to download hulu videos now [16:42] trying to grab the videos of world news tonight from hulu since alot of videos disappear after 2011-03 [16:52] i can tell you that the hulu rips will be alot better then what abc release at that time [16:52] cause at the time it was like they double the res and its 4:3 [16:53] unlike hulu thats the proper 16:9 [16:56] also i will be able to get subs for the files [17:18] so my plan is that the hulu rips will be a different collection of abc world news [17:18] cause my current collection comes from abcnews directly [17:19] also this way we can a more proper videos with subs for them [17:21] ersi: damn. I want an open-source A3 sheetfeeder so bad. [17:33] xmc: very yes. [17:33] wouldn't mind a little larger either [17:33] right [17:33] since there seems to be a trend of having magazines that are _just_ over A4 size [17:33] for my needs, wide enough to take the narrow edge of A3 or the wide edge of A4 would be sufficient [17:33] per page [17:34] another few cm couldn't hurt [17:34] * joepie91 won't comment on how that reads out of context [17:34] but yeah, definitely need an open-source sheetfeeder :D [17:34] conveniently in the US our standard paper (different from everyone else in the world #$@#%@#$) is about 1cm shorter than A4 on the long edge [17:34] haha [17:35] that's US standards for you [17:35] not only do we measure everything in inches [17:35] there are actually two differing definitions of an inch [17:35] (a4 is 297mm, letterpaper is 279.4mm) [17:36] you would not believe how hard it is to get a box of A4 paper here [17:37] so the two different definitions of an "inch" [17:37] 1) 25.4 mm (what everyone uses) [17:38] 2) 100/3937 meter (25.4000508 mm) (used for surveying land) [17:39] I hate many things about the US Customary System Of Units [17:40] at least they redefined them in terms of exact fractional multiples of SI units [17:48] don't even get me started (I write lumber inventory software for a living...) [17:49] oh god [17:49] I'm sorry [17:50] the cool thing about lumber is it changes size in storage [17:50] I have a friend who writes inventory mgmt software for food processing [17:51] for example when you sell meat packed by weight, it has to weigh at least the label weight on the day of expiry [18:09] chfoo: today I discovered a website where you have to scroll *up* to get the content http://chat.urbit.org/ [18:09] chfoo: one in a trillion, though [18:10] huh [18:11] i didn't even notice it update when i scrolled [18:29] printer's not duplexing like it claims it should be able to [18:29] grrr [18:29] fcking hate printers [18:43] xmc: ironically, I am having more issues with the thing I'm trying to send _to_ the printer [18:43] than the printer itself [18:43] hah [18:43] I'm sure that qualifies for some kind of reward [18:43] er [18:43] award [18:43] xmc: I'm trying to get ReportLab to draw me a grid [18:43] what's reportlab? [18:44] apparently topMargin=0 means that it has a few millimeters of margin at the top of the page [18:44] wtf reportlab [18:44] oh [18:44] PDF generation lib [18:44] for Python [18:44] heh [18:44] hm [18:44] aside from it having horrid unpythonic syntax, it's also not doing what I want it to do [18:44] right, it's margin in from the other margin which is itself in from the printer's edge-of-page [18:44] natch [18:44] lol [18:44] xmc: I mean, does this look like 0 margin to you? http://owely.com/4MECIB [18:45] nice [18:45] yeah that looks legit [18:45] it might be easier just to write plain postscript manually [18:45] also, my printer margin is insanely small [18:45] at this rate [18:45] I measured it on almost 5mm [18:45] that's kinda big imo [18:45] perhaps printers finally evolved while I wasn't looking, but that is not what I remember from low-budget consumer printers [18:46] big-to-average [18:46] ah, yeah [18:46] I'm more used to 1cm+ margins [18:46] I mean, this thing cost me 50 euro [18:46] you can usually print right to the edge by claiming that your paper is larger [18:46] it's by no means an office or professional printer lol [18:46] but that leaves toner on the drum which is kind of a no-no [18:46] heh [18:46] it's an inkjet [18:46] o [18:46] why would you do that to yourself [18:46] I needed a cheap printer :P [18:47] xmc: 50 euro was on the edge of my budget really [18:47] I have a laser printer with duplexer that was like 65 euro [18:47] but ok [18:48] http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00450DVDY/ this one, it's gone up a bit, it has treated me well [18:48] it has all the features I need: prints, duplexer, speaks normal network protocols, does not look awful [18:48] right, that's over budget [18:49] * xmc nods [18:49] and this is also an interesting option because it has a scanner [18:49] fair enough [18:49] and it's a Canon scanner [18:49] oh nice [18:49] including ADF [18:49] so 50 euro for a combo printer / copier / flatbed scanner / ADF scanner is not bad [18:49] damn [18:49] (the store was closing up shop, so I got a 30% discount) [18:49] even the ink cartridges are less extortionate than I'm used to [18:49] impressive [18:49] 18 euro for an XL cartridge, which supposedly prints 600 pages [18:50] hrm [18:50] so overall I'd say this wasn't a bad deal :P [18:50] now once the compatible cartridges for this model start being sold in NL, it'll be cheaper than that [18:50] they're available in the UK already, but not yet in NL [18:51] fair enough [18:51] I just can't stand inkjets, I guess [18:51] ok back to programming this modbus bridge ... [18:51] it's apparently a fairly new series... sane-backends driver is 'experimental', printer driver is available but fairly new, and cartridges are not yet widely available [18:51] but it works! [18:51] and heh [18:51] I don't blame you :P [18:51] \o/ [18:51] but, modbus ... [18:52] Canon PIXMA MX455 [18:52] iirc [18:52] xmc: lol modbus [18:52] good luck [18:53] :D [18:53] * yipdw had to work with that about a year ago [18:53] I'm actually doing modbus over sms with a bit of smarts on either side [18:53] scungy project [18:53] wtf [18:53] this is modbus the industrial control protocol, right [18:53] rofl [18:53] yes, that modbus [18:53] over SMS? [18:53] * xmc nods [18:54] cellphone text message [18:54] I've never seen that done before [18:54] it's not very well suited for it [18:54] "Text GO to 31121 to start the centrifuge" [18:54] we have created a protocol which is much better at delay tolerance [18:54] that translates to modbus on the other side [18:54] not too far off. it's for agricultural applications [18:54] neat [18:54] oh huh [18:55] haha, from "wtf" to "neat" in 15 lines [18:55] I like software that isn't about wacking itself off [18:55] yeah. [18:55] like, stuff that drives Real Things [18:55] yep [18:56] yipdw: Cloud [18:56] * joepie91 hides [18:56] what about butts [18:56] anyway, we're pushing transaction control partly over to the other side of sms, so you can schedule things to happen in a few minutes or whatever and then get confirmation [18:57] in a few months, I'd actually have a use for that [18:57] sweet [18:57] what's happening on your end? [18:57] it'd be really nice to be able to water my plants when it gets stupidly hot [18:57] but that's usually when I'm at work [18:57] * xmc nods [18:58] right now, though, it's 12 F [18:58] so yeah, no use for that now :P [18:58] :P [18:58] I hear that 3 of the 5 great lakes are frozen over [18:58] it's pretty bad [18:58] http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=83169 [18:59] hahah [18:59] oh shit, I didn't even see Lake Erie [18:59] yeah it's kind of hidden [19:00] this beautiful image courtesy of our new LANDSAT 8 satellite [19:00] landsat 8 is so fucking beautiful [19:00] I worked with landsat 7 images a few years back, they were super frustrating because of the sensor issue [19:01] huh, neat [19:01] there's some sort of edge-detection going on in that image [19:01] how so? [19:01] er, wait [19:01] I just see outlines of land masses [19:01] maybe that's just an overlay [19:01] they superimposed outlines of the lakes [19:02] h ha [19:02] the text is also an overlay, not from the imagery [19:02] ;) [19:02] hah [19:02] yay remote sensing [23:12] VERY TIRED [23:21] hey SketchCow [23:27] WHAT [23:35] he just wanted to say, your capslock is sticky.
