00:06 🔗 xmc such tired
01:39 🔗 RedType april 1st i'm announcing that i'm shutting down my dynamic infinitely recursive link generation service
01:42 🔗 godane uploaded: https://archive.org/details/techtv-guide-to-home-networking-broadband-and-wireless
06:58 🔗 godane i'm starting to upload more of my maximum cds
06:59 🔗 godane one dvd from 2006-03 is going up
08:15 🔗 godane uploaded: https://archive.org/details/dvdrom-maximum-dvd-2006-03
10:10 🔗 Schbirid how can i check the total number of items and their size i uploaded to IA?
10:43 🔗 joepie91 aw yeah
10:43 🔗 joepie91 :D
10:43 🔗 joepie91 midas et al: my ancient PS/2 barcode scanner still works with a PS/2 to USB cable
10:44 🔗 joepie91 so I can now barcode my archived discs
10:58 🔗 midas i bought a cheapass barcode scanner from DX a while back, perfect tool :D
11:00 🔗 joepie91 midas: this is just an old POS one
11:00 🔗 joepie91 POS as in Point Of Sale
11:00 🔗 joepie91 lol
11:00 🔗 joepie91 not as in Piece Of Shit
11:00 🔗 joepie91 http://www.ebay.com/itm/CCD-HANDSCANNER-BARCODEREADER-BTS-1069-BTS1069-/230598372431
11:00 🔗 joepie91 this one
11:00 🔗 joepie91 except I've had mine for years
11:05 🔗 midas i have this one: http://dx.com/p/acan-8100-short-range-handheld-usb-barcode-scanner-210cm-cable-length-25058#.UxBtgfl5PVU
11:05 🔗 midas only i paid like 10 bucks for it :p
11:06 🔗 midas next one will be laser tho, scanning distance is horrible
11:08 🔗 joepie91 midas: similar to mine, except that one has less lights
11:09 🔗 midas hah yeah, it's shitty but still works for what i need it to do
11:17 🔗 antomatic chances are that the barcodes will remain readable long after the discs aren't. :)
11:18 🔗 joepie91 antomatic: don't remind me :(
11:18 🔗 joepie91 though I have to say, the discs have kept up well so far
11:19 🔗 joepie91 had a CD-R with RollerCoaster Tycoon on it
11:19 🔗 joepie91 that's like... 15 years old?
11:19 🔗 joepie91 it still works fine
11:23 🔗 joepie91 midas: ~2cm straight scanning distance
11:23 🔗 joepie91 under angle it's around 1.5
11:23 🔗 joepie91 not -too- bad for a CCD scanner
11:26 🔗 midas true
11:26 🔗 midas for what you need it to do
11:27 🔗 midas wheee megawarc gives tmux a fizzy feeling
11:29 🔗 * ivan` discovers --truncate-output is only in wget-lua
12:24 🔗 Schbirid https://twitter.com/danbarker/status/439125570115223552
12:26 🔗 midas burnnnn
12:27 🔗 midas joepie91: http://tweakers.net/aanbod/638704/250-+-pc-titels.html
12:28 🔗 midas something for you maybe?
12:33 🔗 joepie91 midas: yes, but monies
12:33 🔗 joepie91 also
12:33 🔗 joepie91 "alleen ophalen"
12:35 🔗 midas if you mail the guy, ill see if i can pick it up, but only if it's free ;)
12:35 🔗 joepie91 midas: impressive collection, thoigh
12:35 🔗 joepie91 heh
12:35 🔗 joepie91 idk, I doubt that he'd give it away for free
12:36 🔗 midas maybe he will let us copy it first
12:37 🔗 joepie91 midas: I prefer having originals though
12:44 🔗 joepie91 midas: sent him a message, indicating I'd also be interested in 'useless' CDs
12:44 🔗 joepie91 shovelware etc.
12:45 🔗 joepie91 we'll see
12:46 🔗 midas with copy i mean, getting all the cd's and he will need to wait for a couple of months before he gets them back :p
12:49 🔗 midas joepie91: do you have tracker access?
12:49 🔗 joepie91 midas: I don't think I have full access
12:49 🔗 joepie91 but not sure
12:49 🔗 midas join #canvas
12:49 🔗 joepie91 and with "having originals" I mean having the originals stored in my CD storage for indefinite time :)
14:33 🔗 midas joepie91: explain to me, should we still trust TOR?
14:35 🔗 joepie91 midas: the answer is "the trust status of TOR has not changed"
14:35 🔗 joepie91 you can either trust peer review of the codebase, or review it yourself
14:35 🔗 joepie91 conceptually, assuming the code does what it is supposed to do, TOR is as secure as you're going to get
14:39 🔗 midas ok, biggest issue is still the browser + plugins above tor
15:05 🔗 joepie91 midas: yes.
15:05 🔗 joepie91 and this will sadly always remain a problem, until society at large starts giving a damn about security
15:08 🔗 Leo_TCK yea or giving a damn about many other things instead of blindly going by what's "trendy"
15:09 🔗 Smiley lollololol while the NSA stuff has helped, i think that's almost hopeless.
15:43 🔗 midas im hiding my personal data with massive amounts of rsync data from you guys ;-)
15:49 🔗 SketchCow Tor is a great example of failure that's worth studying.
15:49 🔗 SketchCow It has the same issues that PGP and others did.
15:49 🔗 SketchCow It was a safe, in the house
15:49 🔗 SketchCow So watch who goes into the house
15:50 🔗 SketchCow Watch when they haul out the safe
15:50 🔗 SketchCow Watch who comes in and doesn't leave the house, and who leaves but you never saw them come in.
15:50 🔗 SketchCow The harvard police just watched who had Tor running
15:53 🔗 midas tor or a different service should be always active, ipv6-sec or something
15:54 🔗 Leo_TCK as far as i know, if you keep it really safe then they can't do anything to you, but the news about the breach was by users who haven't watched out
15:54 🔗 Leo_TCK and who used that browser with javascript and cookies that tracked them down
15:56 🔗 Leo_TCK i'm not the expert on this and i'm not using tor, only tried many years ago but i know enough from some guys
15:59 🔗 SketchCow A lot of the interest in this sort of stuff is by people who've never had a finger broken in someone else's process of information retrieval.
16:04 🔗 Leo_TCK well if someone passwords their stuff and dont run windows machines and encrypt everything and then would run tor and ensure everything is in order i dont think they would be able to do much
16:05 🔗 Leo_TCK but very little people go through trouble of arranging that anyway
16:06 🔗 Leo_TCK most of them just choose easy security solutions, which i myself fell to often, but i don't have this really technical mind anyway but that's not an excuse
16:07 🔗 Leo_TCK but mosly you get naive people downloading the "tor bundle" which has been made more and more "easier to use"
16:09 🔗 Leo_TCK also, that flowerett "thing", it's a spambot or something or joins channels to leave, he's constantly being banned from another channel i am on
16:09 🔗 Leo_TCK or he just spies on shit
16:09 🔗 Leo_TCK better watch out for that guy
16:09 🔗 Leo_TCK he joins/leaves
16:12 🔗 DFJustin the issue is they flipped the default in the browser bundle between versions so that javascript was on when it used to be off
16:12 🔗 DFJustin without really announcing it
16:12 🔗 Leo_TCK also "indigo@" i suspect it might be a bot of a certain indigo guy i once crossed my paths with in 2006..
16:12 🔗 Leo_TCK yea but
16:12 🔗 DFJustin so unless you are paranoid and check all the options every time
16:12 🔗 Leo_TCK the users should check that
16:12 🔗 Leo_TCK its not being paranoid
16:13 🔗 Leo_TCK its not a fuckin toy
16:13 🔗 Leo_TCK to be just run and used quickly
16:13 🔗 Leo_TCK but they made it that way due to complaints
16:13 🔗 Leo_TCK but thats the wrong approach
16:13 🔗 DFJustin I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a security minded bundle to not make a huge change like that
16:14 🔗 antomatic Exactly, surely a browser being used in that mode should be thoroughly ruggedised to ask for confirmation of EVERY SINGLE cookie and script, not just run on 'full auto' all the time.
16:14 🔗 DFJustin everything can ultimately be blamed on you if you don't source audit all of your software and compile it yourself etc
16:14 🔗 Leo_TCK its not a huge change, its just that it was made on by default instead, but one should watch out
16:15 🔗 Leo_TCK but yeah
17:25 🔗 godane SketchCow: why no French computer magazines?
17:27 🔗 DFJustin abandonware-magazines.org got really butthurt when he started reuploading their scans
17:28 🔗 xmc which is hilarious
17:30 🔗 Schbirid attributing the scanners would do a lot of good
17:32 🔗 godane i didn't know that scan came from abandonware-magazines.org
17:32 🔗 godane i got from a torrent
17:42 🔗 godane SketchCow: again whats the problem with French computer magazines?
17:49 🔗 balrog DFJustin: umm, they didn't own the copyrights on the content, did they?
17:53 🔗 DFJustin no
17:56 🔗 balrog then why do we care
18:34 🔗 SketchCow We care for several reasons.
18:35 🔗 turnip Sharing is caring, we often share, so we care
18:35 🔗 turnip That is straight-up logic
18:36 🔗 SketchCow 1. The site has been negotiating with a range of magazine publishers, and us mirroring all the content was threatening to kibosh those arrangements.
18:37 🔗 SketchCow 2. I already had all the stuff by the time they got angry. The collections are dark but I have them
18:37 🔗 SketchCow 3. We have plenty enough to add without worrying about that active and functional group's efforts
18:37 🔗 SketchCow There.
18:38 🔗 SketchCow Some of you might think I go soft here and there, but it's when there's no immediate example of something needing to be up on archive.org RIGHT NOW, especially when a non-public backup is there on the site in case we need to make it live.
18:38 🔗 SketchCow I could have the 500+ issues public within 20 minutes. It's just being good right now with France's weird situation.
18:41 🔗 godane ok
18:43 🔗 turnip If abandonware is getting pissy over someone mirroring their shit, they're doing it for the wrong reasons
18:43 🔗 turnip If you care about preservation, be happy that someone is helping, not territorial
18:43 🔗 godane so this a problem with abandonware or the publisher
18:51 🔗 xmc SketchCow: ah that all makes sense.
18:51 🔗 xmc #1 and #2 interact quite nicely.
18:54 🔗 SketchCow This is not my usual outlook ....
18:54 🔗 SketchCow ... but we're talking about the French here.
18:54 🔗 SketchCow Also, you can't pull off black trousers and white socks. http://imgur.com/gallery/fgmmYO6
18:55 🔗 turnip Not clicking any SketchCow links where he mentions removing clothing
18:55 🔗 turnip Oh, wrong context of pull off, fuck it
18:56 🔗 SketchCow http://i.imgur.com/ZcUS4Ed.jpg
20:12 🔗 godane SketchCow: can i get access to geekbeat.tv and geek beat tv reviews?
20:13 🔗 SketchCow What collection names?
20:13 🔗 godane geekbeattv
20:14 🔗 SketchCow Done
20:14 🔗 godane and geekbeattvreviews: https://archive.org/details/geekbeattvreviews
20:14 🔗 godane also there is like a 145 items in geekbeattv that should be in geekbeattvreviews
20:15 🔗 godane these items: https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Ageekbeattv%20geekbeattvreviews
20:18 🔗 SketchCow All 325 are being shoved over, now.
20:24 🔗 godane its 145
20:24 🔗 godane not 325
20:24 🔗 godane in less you mean geekbeattvreviews has 325 items
20:42 🔗 SketchCow Boop
20:43 🔗 SketchCow We'll sort it out, it's just files.
21:09 🔗 Leo_TCK seriously that Flowerett guy...he's creepy
21:10 🔗 Leo_TCK all he does is join channels randomly and leaves, possibly gathering some info along the way
21:10 🔗 Leo_TCK and one of the bots on one channel detect him as "spambot" anyway
21:16 🔗 nico arnez.si do not seem to exists
21:17 🔗 nico so his hostname is fake
21:17 🔗 Leo_TCK what can that mean then?
21:18 🔗 nico that efnet security check are lame
21:18 🔗 nico it is someone who control the ptr associated whith his ip
21:18 🔗 nico and he is faking it
21:19 🔗 nico (that's why you are supposed to validate the ptr ...)
21:19 🔗 nico got one ip, ask for reverse.ip.in-addr.arpa
21:19 🔗 Leo_TCK hmm
21:19 🔗 nico then check if this host exists and point to the same ip
21:19 🔗 nico if not, something is wrong
21:20 🔗 * nico remember one time when i was in the network team of a congress
21:20 🔗 nico and we set the ptr of some router
21:21 🔗 nico to gate(lastoctal).collect.nsa.gov
21:21 🔗 Leo_TCK well, this guy is certainly wrong...what is he? is it a bot or what, i've been seeing him for some time joining and leaving channels at about the same interval he stays
21:21 🔗 Leo_TCK hmm
21:21 🔗 nico got some people worried :)
21:22 🔗 nico lot of people have bot that do that
21:22 🔗 Leo_TCK what's the purpose
21:22 🔗 nico joining, doing a WHO #channel, leaving
21:22 🔗 nico collect some big data
21:22 🔗 Leo_TCK hmm
21:22 🔗 nico you don't know what you seek
21:22 🔗 nico so you collect everything
21:23 🔗 nico who know, maybe you will find a connection between
21:23 🔗 Leo_TCK still it gets me a bit worried, because i used to know this "indigo" guy way back
21:23 🔗 Leo_TCK and his hostname says "indigo"
21:23 🔗 nico lot of program are called indigo
21:24 🔗 nico irc have a very exposed topology
21:25 🔗 Leo_TCK he was a "black hat" though, i didn't like the guy and one time he decided to wreak a bit of havoc with my friends servers etc
21:25 🔗 Leo_TCK so i wonder if this is any way related to that guy
21:25 🔗 nico the world is really small
21:25 🔗 nico you see the same people everywhere
21:26 🔗 Leo_TCK he used to change his nicks very often or registering himself under multiple names but usually sharing a similar theme, which i could see among the other things, but who knows, i can't know for sure this is related to him
21:27 🔗 Leo_TCK and if it is then it's been since 2006 or so since i last heard of this guy before
21:29 🔗 Leo_TCK i remmeber when i exposed him somewhere he referred to me afterwards as "miserable little mook"
21:29 🔗 nico nice
22:34 🔗 Leo_TCK again? sigh
22:38 🔗 nico Leo_TCK: you can talk to an ircop
22:38 🔗 nico a little k-line on @*.arnez.si will resolve this
22:45 🔗 yipdw or
22:45 🔗 yipdw SketchCow: can you spread ops around
22:45 🔗 yipdw we can solve this by just banning it
22:46 🔗 yipdw it's already banned in e.g. #archivebot
22:47 🔗 Leo_TCK hmm
22:48 🔗 Leo_TCK did it join there too or not?
22:48 🔗 Leo_TCK at #archivebot
22:48 🔗 yipdw yes
22:48 🔗 yipdw ivan banhammered it
22:48 🔗 yipdw I had no idea what it was until then
22:48 🔗 Leo_TCK hmm ah ok
22:51 🔗 nico https://www.google.com/search?q=dial-up.arnez.si&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:fr:unofficial&client=iceweasel-a
22:52 🔗 godane SketchCow: i think the collections are fine now
22:52 🔗 nico http://forum.efnet.org/oper-spy-bots-t1580.html
22:59 🔗 Leo_TCK hmm
23:00 🔗 nico tomarrow will be my birthday
23:13 🔗 godane SketchCow: is it ok to PM you?
