05:24 🔗 Ravenloft 01:19:35 <@SketchCow> Some day when I'm really really really bored, I should find out the full story of TWiT Network and how that went relatively south.
05:24 🔗 Ravenloft you mean TechTV?
05:24 🔗 Ravenloft http://twit.tv/the-twit-story
05:24 🔗 lemonkey twit was (is?) leo laporte's thing
05:24 🔗 lemonkey mostly a podcast network
05:24 🔗 lemonkey "this week in tech"
05:25 🔗 lemonkey altho I think jason calacanis borrowed the acronym so that it means something else
05:28 🔗 Ravenloft lemonkey yes, its the name of a show and the name of the network itself
05:29 🔗 Ravenloft they use the term netcast
05:32 🔗 Ravenloft I watch the twit live sometimes, on sunday nights
05:34 🔗 SketchCow Too much information I don't care about
05:34 🔗 SketchCow They rotate shows a bit too much for my taste.
05:34 🔗 SketchCow I'm glad godane is saving them definitively, though.
05:34 🔗 Ravenloft lemonkey Founder of the TWiT.tv network, and netcasts This Week in Tech, This Week in Google, This Week in Computer Hardware, This Week in Enterprise Tech and This Week in Law, Leo Laporte, expressed disdain for Calacanis' use of the term "This Week in". Prior to starting ThisWeekIn.com, Calacanis had been a guest on Laporte's show This Week in Tech 29 times, and Laporte reported feeling
05:34 🔗 Ravenloft betrayed,[57] suggesting that the use of the same name was intended to confuse advertisers and viewers.
05:35 🔗 lemonkey nod
05:35 🔗 lemonkey I remember that dust up
05:37 🔗 Ravenloft godane will suceed with everything from twit.tv, hope the same happens with techtv (and zdtv)
05:39 🔗 godane one of the twit shows is net at night
05:40 🔗 godane it was called in the net before
05:40 🔗 godane it has tons of interviews with people that your archiving now
05:41 🔗 Ravenloft SketchCow TL;DR twit.tv is alive and doing well
05:42 🔗 godane its why there is 500+ episodes of tech news today
05:47 🔗 Ravenloft taking this conversation to #archiveteam-bs
11:05 🔗 dashcloud S[h]O[r]T: thanks so much for trying!

11:37 🔗 norbert79 lovely
11:38 🔗 norbert79 Yahoo started to become better but no, they really wish to screw up
11:41 🔗 Smiley no no norbert79
11:41 🔗 Smiley if you pay up, you MIGHT get a different username
11:50 🔗 norbert79 Hah, lol
11:50 🔗 norbert79 What a deal...!
17:55 🔗 Nemo_bis SketchCow: how do I run book_op tasks on items?
17:55 🔗 SketchCow Do you have a manager link on the left?
17:55 🔗 Nemo_bis (as an admin, on items in "my" collection)
17:55 🔗 SketchCow If you don't, I can do it.
17:56 🔗 Nemo_bis on the left of the item?
17:56 🔗 Nemo_bis I have "Item manager" linking https://archive.org/manage/*
17:57 🔗 Nemo_bis And I tried https://archive.org/metamgr.php but I don't see everything the docs talk about
17:57 🔗 SketchCow Item manager.
17:57 🔗 SketchCow Click on it, see what it does for you.
17:58 🔗 Nemo_bis As for admin actions, I can re-derive, make (un)dark, flush cache
17:58 🔗 Nemo_bis Is it re-derive with some magic in "arguments"?
17:59 🔗 SketchCow What are you trying to do?
17:59 🔗 Nemo_bis Force the creation of torrent
17:59 🔗 SketchCow I might need to do that. Give me the item.
18:00 🔗 Nemo_bis All wikimediacommons* items, actually
18:00 🔗 Nemo_bis btw when I'm done they should reach some 30 TB
19:19 🔗 DFJustin torrent is admin-only
19:34 🔗 underscor yeah, bookops are slash-admin only
20:19 🔗 Nemo_bis underscor: do you also happen to know how to get access to the wiki? I am registered but can't see anything
20:20 🔗 underscor I don't think there are (m)any public pages on the wiki
20:20 🔗 Nemo_bis when I login I might even be seeing *less*, or https://wiki.archive.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IAS3BulkUploader mysteriously became private at some point
20:21 🔗 underscor I think it's due to a twiki upgrade
20:21 🔗 underscor poking around internal channels
21:17 🔗 Nemo_bis underscor: they used not to be
21:17 🔗 underscor "It was unintentional that pages were previously viewable without staff twiki account & has now been fixed."
21:17 🔗 Nemo_bis only some were
21:18 🔗 underscor right
21:18 🔗 underscor It was an oversight
21:18 🔗 underscor (apparently)
21:19 🔗 Nemo_bis still, how does one get access? :)
21:25 🔗 underscor Nemo_bis: Staff.
21:25 🔗 underscor They're internal pages
21:26 🔗 underscor (as I'm told)
21:27 🔗 Nemo_bis oic
21:32 🔗 Nemo_bis btw, is it normal to have only 200 KB/s of download speed from Finland?
21:32 🔗 underscor Probably
21:32 🔗 Nemo_bis (which raises to only 1200 if using a 70* server)
21:33 🔗 underscor If you om me your IP, I can show you the route it's taking
21:33 🔗 underscor pm*
21:33 🔗 Nemo_bis I mean, it's faster even in Italy ;)
