[00:45] http://www.extremetech.com/computing/91202-ms-dos-is-30-years-old-today [01:00] for copying floppies, should that be done in linux or windows? [02:33] if you do it in windows just make sure you write-protect the disk first [02:43] ^ [03:04] http://hostilemachines.com/coax-they_where.mp3 my tune [03:17] so what programs do you use when copying doesn't go as planned? [03:47] hmm [03:47] my kryoflux has some sloppy solder on the bottom by the floppy connector [03:50] in this case it may not matter, as the pins being bridged are probably ground. (still checking) [03:52] yep ground. not a problem, then [04:53] woohoo [04:54] playing some battlechess I read off a 3.5" disk [04:54] the 5.25" disks didn't read well. not sure if it is the drive or the disks [05:18] links386pro... "1.44mg" [05:26] BACK [06:05] http://i.imgur.com/ml1qL.jpg [06:05] I... don't even... [07:19] * Coderjoe dusts off an old floppy drive from his at&t pc3600 that he's now glad he didn't dismantle (the drive. the pc is all ripped apart) [07:21] hmm [07:24] except it does not seem to want to work [08:27] Hey SketchCow, didn't you have something written up on textfiles about good practice for cold-calling/emailing people? If so, happen to remember the title of that post? [08:27] God, no [08:29] Ah, my bad then. [08:58] oh. the 1.2mb drive works fine for DSDD, if I tell dtc to double-step [09:36] Cold-calling <3 [09:36] anyone feel like seeding that news of the world torrent? [09:36] has the mails been dropped? [09:37] have* [09:37] no, only a mirror of their website [09:37] aha [09:37] that someone here made [10:23] Huh, Novacut has 40 hours to get $400 on Kickstarter? Pretty awesome odds, those. [10:33] mmm [10:33] Barren Realms Elite v0.900 [10:38] http://dataliberation.blogspot.com/2011/07/when-we-started-data-liberation-front.html [11:24] Ymgve: Do you have a link? [11:24] I can seed it [11:30] http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6552595 [11:47] 7000 items in IA item deriver queue :-O [11:47] http://www.archive.org/details/widecrawl 504 Gateway Time-out [12:04] SketchCow, what's your script to create image previews? I'd like to do something similar for images of archived wikis [12:08] i'd use imagemagick [12:08] yeah, was just going to say.what is the goal? [12:09] something like: $ convert IMAGE.jpg -sample 100x IMAGE_RESIZED.jpg [12:09] that resizes the image to 100 px wide, keeping correct proportions [12:09] i always use -geometry [12:09] man page time [12:09] man page is sparse [12:10] real world test time [12:10] :P [12:11] geometry does sexy resampling, sample is hard and sharp [12:12] and 2x faster [12:14] http://altdevblogaday.com/2011/07/27/coding-music/ [12:22] Oh? [12:22] Didn't know that, thanks [12:37] Nemo_bis: https://github.com/bbot/sitetools/blob/master/thumbnailer.sh [12:37] anyone for a divination? [12:37] this is thumbnailer. it nails thumbs. [12:38] I stole all the error handling boilerplate from jason, by the way [14:07] http://bitzi.com/bitpedia/ [14:39] http://awesome.commodore.me/triads-25th-birthday-4450 [14:42] :( http://www.triad.se/robots.txt [14:53] Hah! I thought I recognized Jason in Viva Amiga documentary trailer [14:53] and it was [15:20] anyone know off hand how to make find only list files, no directories? i just want to know the number of files in a directory (and subdirs) [15:23] find . -type f | wc -l [15:23] <3 [15:39] My script for doing image previews is ImageMagick [15:39] I.e. Montage [15:42] I downloaded that News of the World [15:44] Let me get it up to archive.org. [16:07] Thanks for reminding me. New of the World will be up there in about 10 minutes. [16:37] http://www.archive.org/details/2011-NewsOfTheWorld-Website-Final [16:42] Nemo_bis: That's partly my fault [16:53] http://www.archive.org/details/philtrans03307327 [16:53] I just want to learn about my fairy rings [16:59] SketchCow: Do you know why the derive queue is full out its ass? [17:05] #1. You choked it like a whore on her first night [17:06] #2. Sometimes there are a bunch of other derives going on, if they start to take too long, it holds stuff off. [17:06] It'll work it out, this happens. [17:06] Okay [17:06] When the entire Google Patent database/site came in, for example. [17:06] We did break the yearly record though [17:06] :D [17:06] I didn't realize it was better to specify a delay for uploads [17:06] I mean, they're just a few jpegs ;D [17:08] A million or so. [17:08] Hahaha [17:08] Stuff is still showing up, I wouldn't worry about it. [17:09] Well, at least I got everything moved to the batcave, so once the queue does clear out, starting uploading again will be easy [17:14] Who cares about the queue .-p [17:14] At least we're sure the servers won't lazy [17:16] I just want my fairy rings [17:16] so, underscor, you finished the conversion? [17:17] I see that undersco2 writes us from an archive.org domain :-) [17:20] Nemo_bis: Actually, there are 297 left to convert [17:20] And yes :) [17:21] good, only 297 :-D [17:21] ie 12000 s on average [17:22] 12000s? [17:23] you said 40 s per article [17:26] Oh, yeah [17:26] Sorry, I misread that as something besides seconds [18:15] good morning folks [18:15] ohai [18:52] Still looking for archiveteam pictures! [18:53] What kind of pictures? [18:53] AND STAY OUT. [18:53] (will unban in an hour or so) [18:53] He's a repeat offender though [19:03] SketchCow: Should I send you a photo? [19:06] best homepage *ever* http://web.archive.org/web/20021010030911/http://hongkong.ath.cx/ [19:18] wat [19:29] sadly, wayback machine didn't think to grab the jpgs on that site [19:32] it grabbed one [19:34] in the pics/ folder? [19:34] no [19:34] http://web.archive.org/web/20021010030911/http://hongkong.ath.cx/pics/ [19:34] nothing there [19:34] it grabbed one image on the site still though [19:35] i have very poor luck with wayback.. but i realize it does not crawl ancient .zip files [19:45] sure, it could grab a lot more data [19:45] or could have [19:45] I'm sure that was a tradeoff at the time [19:46] does archive.org bot know 'date of last update', so maybe it crawls the 'most' abandoned sites first? [19:47] I have no idea [19:47] as in, completely grab the sites that appear static rather than get 1/2 half of a few more things that are not going to die as soon [19:47] But heritrix is open source [19:48] http://crawler.archive.org/ [19:49] great.. http://webteam.archive.org/confluence/display/Heritrix/Release+Notes+-+1.14.4 is dead [19:49] so much for 'release notes' :) [19:50] CowerAway: i rescued some old zip files throuhg it [19:51] they were broken, some byte missing, but they were zip files alright :) [19:51] iirc there was a very low filesize limit [19:54] even wrote http://www.quaddicted.com/tips-and-tricks/fixing-zip-downloads-from-archiveorg/ [20:09] hi all :) [20:10] * balrog wonders if SketchCow will be around anytime soon :) [20:12] hi [20:32] uh? http://www.archive.org/details/Brelviyat2 http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=uploader%3A%28ahlehaq%40hotmail.com%29 [20:32] (long derivings) [20:54] Nemo_bis: What's wrong with them? [20:55] they seem suspect [20:59] I don't see anything wrong, besides that disgusting watermark [21:15] underscor, why not more philtrans yet? :-D [21:34] Nemo_bis: yeah... I'm annoyed by the complete lack of metadata on their items [21:35] yay, someone who agrees with me :-) [21:35] everything without metadata is horrible [21:35] i've been terrible about metadata with some of my own crap... bunches of unlabled floppies and tapes [21:35] unlabeled CDs/DVDs [21:37] Ha ha LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE passive aggressive meandering [21:37] I also have a bunch of unlabeled HDDs on my desk, full of stuff (the only label being the hdd manufacturer label. I need to make an index DB that I can search to match content to HDD) [21:37] It's called e-mail [21:42] well, last night I managed to read data from a stack of 5.25" dd floppies (some were ss, most ds), with only 3 problem disks I need to work out [21:43] Excellent [21:43] the KF even managed to recover data from "bad" sectors by telling it to sample multiple revolutions of the disk [21:44] I forgot how much I hated 8.3 [21:44] I have several "RENEGADE.ARJ" files. one is actually renegade itself, the others are multi-volume sets of a bunch of utilities [21:49] I found 2 gigabytes of BBS programs I'll be adding to software.bbsdocumentary.com. [22:05] heh [22:09] SketchCow: how were they hiding? [22:09] I have a lot of directories in to-do piles [22:09] ah [22:10] Nemo_bis Because I clogged up the queue [22:10] I thought perhaps you'd found a pile of disks in your couch cushions or something? [22:10] Alexis yelled at me :< [23:06] SketchCow: any recommendations for programs to handle disks that have errors on them? I've used spinrite and winhex before I knew about linux [23:06] dd [23:06] or dd_rescue [23:07] I would never use spinrite unless you've already tried to recover with imaging tools [23:07] ha ha spinrite [23:08] I don't have useful suggestions. [23:33] 18353 2011-07-18 05:15 friendster.124329853.tar.bz2 [23:34] I guess the question left for the reader is WHY THE FUCK DID SOMEONE DOWNLOAD A SINGLE FRIENDSTER ACCOUNT AND TAR.BZ2 IT AND UPLOAD IT [23:34] 155217071107 2011-07-21 20:18 friendster.unknown-unknown.tar.gz [23:35] I realize as house mother I shouldn't mind cleaning these up, but damn boys [23:35] -rwxrwxrwx 1 jscott jscott 17072599698 2011-07-21 06:10 6.tar.gz [23:35] -rwxrwxrwx 1 jscott jscott 20129988312 2011-07-21 05:56 4.tar.gz [23:35] -rwxrwxrwx 1 jscott jscott 25094862685 2011-07-21 06:26 8.tar.gz [23:35] -rwxrwxrwx 1 jscott jscott 31006994948 2011-07-21 06:19 7.tar.gz [23:35] -rwxrwxrwx 1 jscott jscott 31534278726 2011-07-21 06:05 5.tar.gz [23:35] -rwxrwxrwx 1 jscott jscott 19680027104 2011-07-21 06:52 9.tar.gz [23:35] Also excellent. [23:35] 7.tar.gz. Take that one to the bank. [23:36] See, basically I have to untar these to stdout, take just the column with userids, then do a sort -u. [23:36] So I can figure out the range, verify it. [23:36] That is a lot of waster processor [23:36] Processor I can be spending on brute-forcing porn site passwords [23:36] Just sayin' [23:36] don't you have GPUs for that? [23:36] If I can't get into milkteens.com until wednesday, it's on your heads [23:42] wait, have you changed your philosophy from archiving the internet to archiving porn? [23:42] now THAT's a lost cause [23:43] milkteens [23:44] Ymgve: Porn is a (rather large) subset of the internet. [23:46] SketchCow: heh, I archived that one one profile too, for the lulz [23:46] gotta save all the porn , think of your grandchildren and what they will miss. [23:46] eh [23:47] if you've seen one standard porn video, you've seen most [23:47] Ymgve: the plumber's here [23:47] AND the pizza guy [23:47] and the cable man [23:48] and I can't afford to pay them! [23:48] Ymgve: Rape Dollars [23:48] That's not nice, reducing porn to "Male service person visits, girl answers, they have sex" [23:48] There is also "Female service person visits, man answers, they have sex" [23:49] Or my favourite: "Female service person vists, girl answers, they have sex" [23:49] nono, first there's a blowjob, THEN there's sex, THEN there's a cumshot over the girl's face [23:51] If only video compression could take advantage of the fact that most porn movies follow the same scheme [23:52] I was at a google talk once, they mentioned that if you made a compression algorithm that worked well on cat videos, there would be a job for you [23:52] matroska supports linked chapters- you could take advantage of that
