00:02 🔗 SketchCow I don't technically enforce my licenses
00:02 🔗 SketchCow but it's been said that a lot of people are not alive when they crossed them
00:02 🔗 SketchCow not... alive
00:16 🔗 FalconK lately I've been enjoying the use of the Masonic Public License... nobody seems to get away with violating that one, somehow.
00:17 🔗 FalconK also there are secret terms
00:17 🔗 xmc unfortunately nobody knows what the rules are though
00:17 🔗 xmc it's even worse than a contract of adhesion
00:17 🔗 FalconK it's like a contract of mortar and cement.
00:18 🔗 FalconK you can nullify the license contract if you want to, but then you just used the work without a license :P
00:30 🔗 pizzaiolo FalconK: not very public then is it?
00:31 🔗 xmc MPL Masonic Private License
00:31 🔗 FalconK :)

06:38 🔗 divingk As for how to do it,
06:38 🔗 divingk it being TV DXing,
06:38 🔗 divingk it depends on the conditions.
06:39 🔗 divingk Because normally, signals extend for about 100-200 miles from the source.
06:39 🔗 divingk You can use a normal antenna, but there can also be preamps.
06:40 🔗 hook54321 Could someone use it how they regularly use a TV antenna?
06:40 🔗 hook54321 Just for casually watching tv
06:40 🔗 divingk Here's the thing/
06:40 🔗 divingk TV DXing is quite unpredictable.
06:41 🔗 hook54321 What is it affected by?
06:41 🔗 divingk Any physical thing.
06:41 🔗 divingk Where you live plays a big factor.
06:42 🔗 divingk Water can help relay signals.
06:42 🔗 hook54321 What about rain?
06:42 🔗 divingk That makes the signal more erratic.
06:43 🔗 divingk That's the thing about TV DX.
06:43 🔗 hook54321 ah. so it probably wouldn't work very well in oregon i assume?
06:43 🔗 divingk Yes.
06:44 🔗 divingk Most of the people who do it are along the coasts.
06:44 🔗 hook54321 So, are the channels they receive kinda random?
06:45 🔗 divingk Yes.
06:45 🔗 hook54321 Since it's OTA, would it be legal to live stream it publicly online?
06:46 🔗 divingk Maybe, maybe not.
06:46 🔗 hook54321 What do you mean?
06:46 🔗 divingk Most of the people who do it don't.
06:46 🔗 hook54321 why?
06:46 🔗 divingk I haven't seen people stream it.
06:46 🔗 divingk Mainly because they don't know where to stream.
06:46 🔗 divingk And the signals themselves are usually of copyrighted material.
06:47 🔗 divingk Short clips though.
06:47 🔗 hook54321 But it's OTA
06:47 🔗 divingk Either that or local programming.
06:47 🔗 divingk True.
06:47 🔗 divingk But companies can be picky, though you're more than welcome to try.
06:49 🔗 hook54321 Could someone theoretically create a program that links together footage from a large group of TV DX-ers and creates a mostly complete coverage that people could then stream live
06:50 🔗 hook54321 Like, consistent for each channel
06:50 🔗 divingk Probably.
06:50 🔗 divingk But it would be a very niche thing.
06:51 🔗 hook54321 why?
06:52 🔗 FalconK wasn't there a campaign at one point to tell people that they were not allowed to record broadcast TV on their VCRs?
06:52 🔗 divingk FalconK: Not that many people payed attention
06:52 🔗 divingk or were prosecuted.
06:52 🔗 divingk It's one thing to record broadcasts, but another to sell those without permission.
06:53 🔗 hook54321 What about that one person that has the only known copy of the first edition of that one sports thing?
06:53 🔗 divingk True, that would be worth something.
06:54 🔗 hook54321 But he's not allowed to sell it
06:55 🔗 hook54321 Is there a TV DX related IRC channel?
06:55 🔗 divingk There's a site all about it. www.wtfda.org/
06:56 🔗 divingk And yes, there is an IRC channel.
06:56 🔗 divingk "We do IRC chat on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:00 PM (US Eastern Time, or GMT-5 hours). The network is ICQnet, the channel is #dx, and the server is irc.icq.com port 6668. "
06:57 🔗 divingk There's also a forum, but no one has posted there in a long time.
06:58 🔗 hook54321 The irc server doesn't seem to work
06:58 🔗 divingk Yeah...
06:58 🔗 divingk the page hasn't been updated in a long time.
06:58 🔗 divingk And I couldn't find much else.
06:59 🔗 divingk It's possible there is one, but really obscure.
07:00 🔗 FalconK I suspect it is rather hard to recieve DVB via DX
07:01 🔗 hook54321 I can
07:01 🔗 Frogging scheduled IRC chats? that's a new one
07:01 🔗 Frogging :p
07:01 🔗 hook54321 I can
07:01 🔗 hook54321 agh
07:01 🔗 hook54321 I can't seem to find out anything about ICQnet
07:02 🔗 FalconK it used to be AM with subcarriers plus FM audio, but I believe DVB is some kind of QAM
07:02 🔗 GE has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
07:03 🔗 FalconK so good for you; however, I feel as though the usable range has gone down
07:03 🔗 FalconK not that I have watched TV in a while...
07:03 🔗 FalconK sure is nice to have all that bandwidth free up so people stop trying to carve space out of the amateur service :)
07:04 🔗 divingk That's part of the reason why digital TV became a thing.
07:11 🔗 hook54321 divingk: What does VUD stand for?
07:12 🔗 divingk Where are you seeing this?
07:12 🔗 divingk Oh.
07:12 🔗 divingk VUD is short for VHF/UHF DX.
07:13 🔗 hook54321 what's that?
07:13 🔗 divingk Basically, getting distant receptions from either VHF or UHF stations.
07:13 🔗 divingk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_high_frequency
07:13 🔗 divingk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_high_frequency
07:14 🔗 hook54321 "The VUD Forum is located in the Members-Only Forum. You need to be registered and a WTFDA member to access this forum. ***The JANUARY 2017 VUD is now available.***"
07:14 🔗 hook54321 What exactly do they mean it's available?
07:15 🔗 divingk A listing of stations that can be received via DXing is available.
07:18 🔗 divingk Probably only available to forum members.

23:03 🔗 Jonimus I made sure you got the tifreakware dump I got a while back correct?
23:04 🔗 BlueMaxim has joined #archiveteam-bs
23:04 🔗 FalconK there's some theorem about forum administrators whereby acting like a king is the only way to have a successful forum ;)
23:04 🔗 Jonimus I could likely convince Kerm to get you the UTI DB as well if you didn't get a copy.
23:04 🔗 Jonimus xmc: and me and Tari do try to keep Kerm in check, but you can bet how that goes.
23:04 🔗 yipdw waiting for the Magna Carta for forum administrators
23:05 🔗 xmc Jonimus: i did not receive a copy of the uti database
23:05 🔗 VeganMars has quit IRC (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in)
23:06 🔗 VeganMars has joined #archiveteam-bs
23:06 🔗 Jonimus I can see if we can get the archiveteam or similar a copy, I'm not sure what Kerm agreed to when they gave it to him.
23:07 🔗 xmc ok
23:07 🔗 xmc :)
23:07 🔗 xmc still don't like forum owners acting like they own the whole forum
23:08 🔗 FalconK apparently I eat lunch at 1600h now
23:09 🔗 rocode Tell me about it. I have a long running (4 week) grab going right now because the forum admin of a semi-popular creative writing forum decided the best way to "deal" with him going to college was to cut off all support and hosting accounts instead of transferring it to someone.
23:09 🔗 rocode 11k users
23:09 🔗 xmc seems reasonable
23:09 🔗 Jonimus Well with the current setup I know that if kerm went crazy we could spin up a copy basically instantly, Tari's made it completely declarative.
23:11 🔗 rocode Eventually I am going to need to figure out how to set up archivebot instead of manually running multiple grab-site VPSs.
23:11 🔗 FalconK you're welcome to use the existing capacity
23:12 🔗 FalconK my servers can handle 40 jobs, let alone all the rest
23:12 🔗 FalconK (of course we could still use more)
23:12 🔗 Jonimus xmc: anyways, I'll prod kerm again about UTI, its been long enough that be might be more willing to do stuff with it.
23:14 🔗 rocode Speaking of, grab-site produces two WARC files, one of the site and one called "meta", do I upload both to ia?
23:14 🔗 FalconK yes
