00:02 πŸ”— * joepie91 waves
00:02 πŸ”— joepie91 but yeah, Tixati <3
00:02 πŸ”— joepie91 the only downside is that it isn't OSS
00:02 πŸ”— joepie91 other than that it's been amazing
00:02 πŸ”— bugzee tixati looks nice, many graphs
00:03 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: to put it into perspective, it lets you set the priority for a single peer on a single torrent
00:03 πŸ”— joepie91 and lets you schedule transfer stops/starts etc
00:03 πŸ”— joepie91 it's pretty much an ugly duckling client with knobs to twiddle everywhere
00:03 πŸ”— bugzee wow, yeah I can see why trackers don't like it
00:04 πŸ”— joepie91 (and very efficient, with an actually *working* sequential download implementation)
00:04 πŸ”— joepie91 honestly, the useragent spoofing is the only reason it's banned
00:04 πŸ”— joepie91 it behaves fine otherwise, and I haven't seen any tracker complaints about any of its other functionality
00:04 πŸ”— joepie91 also has fun stuff like super seeding
00:04 πŸ”— bugzee ooh
00:05 πŸ”— bugzee interesting
00:05 πŸ”— joepie91 that is; optimal piece distribution for building a healthy swarm on a low-bandwidth connection as fast as possible
00:05 πŸ”— joepie91 it reduces upload bandwidth usage, and only distributes pieces that are currently in low supply in the swarm
00:05 πŸ”— joepie91 expecting peers to pass on those pieces to other peers straight away
00:05 πŸ”— joepie91 the result is that the original source doesn't end up giving the same piece to more than one client unless it's necessary
00:06 πŸ”— joepie91 which makes initial distribution *much* faster because piece diversity > piece availability
00:06 πŸ”— joepie91 it's only really useful for initial distribution though, when there's a healthy swarm it'll just slow down your upload
00:06 πŸ”— bugzee I still have to use transmission because of the XBMC plugin that I really like, but if I need to fiddle around with bittorrent haxxor settings I'll have tixati installed
00:06 πŸ”— joepie91 oh, and it has decentralized chatrooms :P
00:06 πŸ”— bugzee thanks for introducing
00:07 πŸ”— bugzee wut
00:07 πŸ”— bugzee ok
00:07 πŸ”— bugzee must install now
00:07 πŸ”— joepie91 haha
00:07 πŸ”— joepie91 also does RSS feeds, and you can have separate directories for completed vs incomplete torrents
00:07 πŸ”— bugzee I am a big fan of decentralized instant communication
00:07 πŸ”— joepie91 plus I *think* you can also make it automatically put torrents from specific RSS feeds into specific dirs
00:07 πŸ”— joepie91 which would be a reasonable replacement for an XBMC plugin
00:07 πŸ”— bugzee it is my hobby
00:08 πŸ”— bugzee ah yes
00:08 πŸ”— joepie91 and if you open a bunch of torrent files at the same time, you can change the settings for the first one that comes up (eg download location, priority)
00:08 πŸ”— joepie91 and just tick 'apply to all'
00:08 πŸ”— joepie91 and all the other torrents you opened will get the same setings applied
00:08 πŸ”— joepie91 settings *
00:08 πŸ”— bugzee yeah.. I gotta check out that chatroom thing
00:09 πŸ”— joepie91 the chatrooms aren't the fastest, but they do work
00:09 πŸ”— joepie91 it lives on the DHT as far as I can tell
00:11 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: FWIW, the dev of Tixati does have some prior experience with decentralized chatrooms
00:11 πŸ”— joepie91 WinMX used to have a similar feature, except there was a particular client hosting it
00:11 πŸ”— joepie91 with a 'redirect' setup to direct users to an elsewhere-hosted version of the room if a client were to go offline
00:11 πŸ”— joepie91 (this existed before DHT was a thing)
00:11 πŸ”— joepie91 and it used some kind of hash to identify the room
00:11 πŸ”— joepie91 and where to connect
00:12 πŸ”— bugzee "YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS FEATURE IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED"
00:12 πŸ”— joepie91 it was quite inventive, especially for the time
00:12 πŸ”— bugzee jeez haha
00:12 πŸ”— joepie91 heh
00:12 πŸ”— joepie91 that warning was there even in WinMX :D
00:12 πŸ”— bugzee holy jeez
00:12 πŸ”— bugzee this is amazing
00:13 πŸ”— bugzee this may be the best p2p chat client I've seen
00:15 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: you should try Tox :P
00:15 πŸ”— bugzee ah yes, I do have tox
00:15 πŸ”— joepie91 from a UX perspective, Tox is very impressive as well
00:15 πŸ”— joepie91 to the point that you don't even really notice it being P2P
00:15 πŸ”— bugzee I have no buddies that cared enough to try it out with me though
00:15 πŸ”— joepie91 I added somebody
00:15 πŸ”— joepie91 it was basically instant
00:15 πŸ”— joepie91 I sent a message
00:15 πŸ”— joepie91 again, basically instant
00:15 πŸ”— joepie91 Venom crashed on an audio call, though
00:16 πŸ”— joepie91 but they're definitely headed in the right direction
00:16 πŸ”— bugzee I am disappointed that they haven't implemented audio calls, but the potential is there
00:16 πŸ”— joepie91 qTox supports them afaik?
00:16 πŸ”— joepie91 though in experimental fashion
00:16 πŸ”— joepie91 (read: it'll probably break at some point)
00:17 πŸ”— joepie91 anyway, I'm really hoping for Tixati to become OSS at some point
00:17 πŸ”— bugzee wow, I love this tixati chat
00:17 πŸ”— bugzee never have I seen a p2p chat client with IRC-like functionality
00:19 πŸ”— joepie91 you'd have loved WinMX
00:19 πŸ”— joepie91 well, possibly still would
00:19 πŸ”— joepie91 WinMX is still mostly alive and kicking, despite the official rendezvous servers having been shut down some time ago
00:19 πŸ”— joepie91 (where 'some time ago' means about 10 years ago)
00:19 πŸ”— joepie91 it runs off a community patch nowadays
00:19 πŸ”— bugzee oh my
00:20 πŸ”— joepie91 it's one of the more traditional multi-source gnutella-like P2P clients, except with less crap and more community
00:20 πŸ”— joepie91 afaik the chatrooms are still quite active
00:20 πŸ”— joepie91 used to be a very good source for non-English movies, also
00:20 πŸ”— joepie91 there'd always be some localized channel with people who'd collect every single movie in $language that they could get their hands on
00:20 πŸ”— joepie91 often having 1000+ movie collections at home and ripping them on demand
00:21 πŸ”— bugzee i found someone on gnutella who has a shitton of random unrelated music
00:21 πŸ”— bugzee from christmas childrens songs to barry white
00:21 πŸ”— joepie91 haha
00:22 πŸ”— bugzee but yeah.. it's my partial hobby discovering and exploring P2P networks
00:22 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: you should definitely give WinMX a whirl then :D
00:22 πŸ”— joepie91 though be aware that the search might not work
00:23 πŸ”— joepie91 somebody found a vuln in the protocol that allowed for effecttively a search DoS
00:23 πŸ”— joepie91 likely a MAFIAA member
00:23 πŸ”— joepie91 chatrooms work fine though
00:23 πŸ”— joepie91 and are often a better way to find stuff anyway, and typically have in-channel search/indexing bots
00:23 πŸ”— joepie91 afaik some projects to develop an open-source alternative WPNP client are underway
00:26 πŸ”— bugzee oh nice
00:26 πŸ”— bugzee "OurMX" from WinMXWorld works with wine
00:27 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: as does WinMX regular
00:28 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: WinMX regular has actually been reported as being more stable under WINE than on native Windows, lol
00:28 πŸ”— joepie91 that said, is OurMX in a usable state now?
00:28 πŸ”— bugzee idk, it just froze during setup and I had to killall wine
00:28 πŸ”— joepie91 that sounds like a 'no'
00:28 πŸ”— joepie91 :P
00:33 πŸ”— bugzee err
00:33 πŸ”— bugzee do I need to forward any ports?
00:44 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: yes
00:44 πŸ”— joepie91 WinMX is old enough not to grok UPNP :)
00:46 πŸ”— bugzee I have forwarded tcp/6699 and udp/6257, still finding connections
00:47 πŸ”— joepie91 make sure you've set it as primary
00:48 πŸ”— bugzee wha?
00:48 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: you can run winmx as primary or secondary node
00:48 πŸ”— joepie91 if you've forwarded the port - and the self-test confirms that - you should set it as primary
00:48 πŸ”— joepie91 because secondaries can't connect to other secondaries
00:48 πŸ”— joepie91 due to firewalling
00:49 πŸ”— bugzee yeah that's how it is in gnutella
00:49 πŸ”— bugzee it can't make a tcp connection to it's servers
00:52 πŸ”— bugzee ugh
00:52 πŸ”— bugzee I have forwarded both ports
00:52 πŸ”— godane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRA0NKQ0k6E
00:53 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: have you done the self-test?
00:53 πŸ”— joepie91 and have you restarted the modem?
00:53 πŸ”— joepie91 not every modem tells you this, but you often need to restart before port forwarding changes are applied
00:53 πŸ”— joepie91 (then again, modems/routers aren't exactly known for their amazing UX)
00:53 πŸ”— bugzee that wasn't a problem with gnutella though
00:58 πŸ”— godane so i'm looking that the 9/11 video project
00:58 πŸ”— godane and there is no msnbc recording from what i can tell
00:58 πŸ”— bugzee restarted router, still not able to pass self test
01:02 πŸ”— bugzee ohh
01:02 πŸ”— bugzee I forgot to do stuff that it says for linux
01:04 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: lol
01:05 πŸ”— bugzee still no luck
01:06 πŸ”— bugzee ah wonderful
01:06 πŸ”— bugzee I forgot I have to restart winmx
01:07 πŸ”— bugzee for the new wine config
01:11 πŸ”— bugzee woow
01:11 πŸ”— bugzee this is a lot like emule
01:11 πŸ”— bugzee emule + kad
01:12 πŸ”— bugzee Welcome to the home of the -» /Γ‚Β₯\ovie /Γ‚Β₯\asters «- bugzee You are connected from h155.86.114.208.cable.communicomm.com and your IP is 208.114.86.155. Enjoy your stay! Feel free to park in our room and Join us for fun, REAL files and sharing of information via chat. Leave the drama AT the door !
01:13 πŸ”— bugzee okey dokey then
01:17 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: that sounds like WinMX :)
01:17 πŸ”— joepie91 also, I've always found WinMX to be a lot friendlier and less awkward than emule
01:19 πŸ”— bugzee well, I'm glad to have another source of information
01:19 πŸ”— bugzee I love the internet, especially the free parts of it
01:20 πŸ”— joepie91 hehe
01:20 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: you'll love https://pdf.yt/ then :D
01:20 πŸ”— joepie91 (yup, shameless plug time again)
01:21 πŸ”— xmc whoooo's shocked
01:22 πŸ”— bugzee huh?
01:22 πŸ”— joepie91 bugzee: huh what? :P
01:23 πŸ”— bugzee what huh?
01:30 πŸ”— DFJustin yay another winmx fan
01:31 πŸ”— DFJustin I finally gave up after the search became useless though
01:32 πŸ”— DFJustin back in the day loads of japanese people used it so you could get all kinds of obscure stuff if you searched in kanji
01:33 πŸ”— joepie91 haha
01:33 πŸ”— joepie91 DFJustin: supposedly there's alternative clients being worked on to fix that
01:33 πŸ”— joepie91 and the chatrooms are still a goldmine
01:35 πŸ”— DFJustin yeah I saw the client stuff being worked on but it wasn't quite ready yet last I checked
01:35 πŸ”— DFJustin if the old dudes wrote a torrent client I gotta get me some of that though
01:40 πŸ”— joepie91 DFJustin: that'd be Tixati :)
01:40 πŸ”— DFJustin yep trying it out now
01:40 πŸ”— joepie91 if you've ever used WinMX, it's not exactly hard to determine that Tixati is from the same devs... :P
01:41 πŸ”— joepie91 (I've found some actual solid evidence of this as well, but it's obvious even from just the software itself)
01:41 πŸ”— DFJustin black backgrounds are cooler
01:43 πŸ”— DFJustin using SoulseekQT and perfect dark these days for file sharing but neither are really general purpose networks, emule is decent but I don't like that you can't disable sharing in-progress downloads (which can have legal ramifications)
01:45 πŸ”— joepie91 it's kinda funny
01:45 πŸ”— joepie91 in NL, the law used to be interpreted as "you can download but not upload"
01:45 πŸ”— joepie91 then the interpretation changed to "both are illegal"
01:46 πŸ”— joepie91 and the only effect that appears to have had, is that people have now massively decided "okay fuck it then, I'll re-enable uploads if it doesn't fucking matter anyway"
01:46 πŸ”— * joepie91 slow clap
01:47 πŸ”— joepie91 (and/or switched from 'file lockers' to torrents)
01:48 πŸ”— DFJustin well the main thing is you have no idea what's actually in a file until enough of it has been downloaded for preview (or later if you're not sitting at your pc 24/7) and oops now you've been sharing child porn on a public network all day
01:48 πŸ”— DFJustin because as you know files on p2p networks are always accurately labelled
01:58 πŸ”— Ravenloft it can happen, but what are the odds?
01:58 πŸ”— Ravenloft and if, and its a big if, it happen, what are the odds that you get "caught"?
01:59 πŸ”— Ravenloft and then you can claim that you were fooled, you just want to infringe intellectual property, not share child porn
02:30 πŸ”— joepie91 lol
02:30 πŸ”— joepie91 Ravenloft: this would probably genuinely get your case acquitted in most of the EU
02:51 πŸ”— xmc the law that usually gets people nailed for torrenting in the states is "distribution", so theoretically you could download only and get out of it
05:21 πŸ”— joepie91 https://twitter.com/NoFlyListDoc
05:54 πŸ”— ohhdemgir http://wildarchives.com/
05:54 πŸ”— ohhdemgir joepie91, lawl
09:17 πŸ”— midas ohhdemgir: that background.
09:30 πŸ”— joepie91 ... wysihtml5x mimicks the style of the textarea it's attached to so well, that I thought it wasn't actually working
09:30 πŸ”— joepie91 >.>
09:30 πŸ”— joepie91 (it's meant to replace the textarea with a contentEditable)
17:48 πŸ”— turnip If I switch between my archiveteam and archiveteam-bs channels, they're the exact same, but with -bs tagged on the end for each message
17:56 πŸ”— Ravenloft how
18:01 πŸ”— schbirid heh
19:15 πŸ”— schbirid i am too dumb for javascript...
19:16 πŸ”— schbirid i use leaflet and attach(?) a function to markers in the map like this: L.marker([result[i].lat, result[i].lon]).on('mouseover', highlight(result[i].id)).addTo(map);
19:17 πŸ”— schbirid somehow this means the function by default has to accept the element itself being passed to it? "function highlight(e) {}"
19:18 πŸ”— schbirid i want to pass some number though, eg highlight(1234). so i added a formal variable in the function definition (tried both before and behind the e) but luck is not with me
19:18 πŸ”— schbirid what is this stuff called anyways? i failed at google too
