00:02 πŸ”— godane got will smith interview on the today show for 2000-11-03
00:02 πŸ”— godane why you may ask
00:02 πŸ”— godane cause this is what awesome looks like
00:43 πŸ”— SmileyG oo
02:18 πŸ”— kyan I think there should be a "black hole" archival setup
02:18 πŸ”— kyan I often have wanted to archive personal things without posting them online immediately, so it would be really cool to have a way to say that something shouldn't be published for, say, 100 years or something
02:19 πŸ”— kyan e.g. that way I could post personal medical records, etc that would present an identity theft risk, but they'd be safe ? and then they would be released when it no longer mattered
02:20 πŸ”— kyan Also could apply to data with unknown or restricted copyright, so that it could be archived, then released once it had reached the maximum amount of time it could possibly not be public domain
02:21 πŸ”— kyan Or even just web history. I can imagine historians having a lot of fun 500 years from now looking at people's web history. Aaanyway, ... </rant>
02:22 πŸ”— dashcloud I'd say store it in a bank vault with instructions, but I seriously don't know if you can have it just stored there for eternity
02:23 πŸ”— kyan thing is, electronic media degrade
02:23 πŸ”— kyan they need to be scrubbed regularly, even with a resiliant filesystem eg. zfs
02:24 πŸ”— kyan as far as i know, there's no affordable digital medium in existence that can store GBs of data for 100+ years without maintenance
02:24 πŸ”— kyan (The thought was kind of inspired by Aaron swartz' request that the contents of his hard drives be posted publicly when he died)
02:25 πŸ”— kyan (I don't know if that ever happened ? but the chances of it happening if he had copyrgihted stuff, for example, is basically zero, since by the time it becomes PD the executor of his will will probably be retired)
02:29 πŸ”— dashcloud but the problem with digital is that you need to correctly predict multiple items for the future, pretty much all of which need to be correct
06:19 πŸ”— kyan SketchCow: dropped you an email re. the data I'm trying to unload BTW :)
06:44 πŸ”— SketchCow I saw
06:46 πŸ”— kyan ah, sorry to bother!
07:47 πŸ”— wp494 heh, how ironic is is that I see new talks of SC's on his wikipedia page (even more irony in this fact) and the textfiles one gets updated just now with the ones that weren't on there
07:54 πŸ”— BlueMaxim aaaaand now you've got me watching all of SC's videos again
07:54 πŸ”— BlueMaxim thanks wp494 I appreciate it
07:59 πŸ”— BlueMaxim if I had ten million dollars I'd just give it all to SC just to get him to do 1-hour talks for the rest of his life
10:54 πŸ”— BlueMaxim if anyone wanted to place this updated version of the ExoDOS DOS game collection on the archive it would probably be worth the time to do so https://kickass.to/exodos-2-0-collection-t9562328.html (I do apologize for the public source but it was the only real source I could find, if I see a more reliable source I'll post it here)
10:56 πŸ”— BlueMaxim I actually do have a better source but it's on a private tracker with satanic seeding rules
10:56 πŸ”— schbirid oh wow thanks
10:56 πŸ”— schbirid i miss u-g :(
10:58 πŸ”— BlueMaxim so do I
11:09 πŸ”— BlueMaxim oh man that torrent only has one seed, that might be problematic
18:31 πŸ”— godane MTV and Fox present Γ’Β€ΒœA Concert for Life,Ҁ an AIDS benefit from LondonҀ™s Wembley Stadium held in tribute to the late Queen vocalist Freddie Mercury who died of AIDS in November 1991.
18:31 πŸ”— godane i'm getting a 4 dvd set from 1st gen beta of that show
20:42 πŸ”— garyrh "Yahoo! Hacked": https://web.archive.org/web/20141006204102/http://www.futuresouth.us/yahoo_hacked.html
22:10 πŸ”— godane poo dough https://scontent-a-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/s526x395/10659160_10201710253238111_4752639860243921296_n.jpg?oh=85ddf95b6fded2edfa77e73c210bee18&oe=54D00CA5
22:32 πŸ”— xmc useful, that
23:27 πŸ”— godane SketchCow: i'm watching your harvard law speech
23:28 πŸ”— godane i see that your boss is there
23:32 πŸ”— godane i think its another guy with gray 'crazy' hair
23:37 πŸ”— godane anyways i'm starting to upload more funny or die videos
23:41 πŸ”— aaaaaaaaa That video also has those introductions I hate. 15 minutes of some guy talking about the guy who is going to talk, rather than giving the real speaker 15 extra minutes. Plus speakers almost always do a short intro on themselves, anyway.
23:46 πŸ”— SketchCow My boss is not in the audience.
23:46 πŸ”— SketchCow That whole thing is a fun little event, I had a good time.
23:46 πŸ”— SketchCow And they paid well.
