[00:00] Archives get a boost, I guess [00:02] http://www.archive.org/details/vd_is_for_everybody [00:13] it sounds like the hardest part is remembering to actually blog that day- you do enough interesting stuff already that the twitter part doesn't sound too hard [00:33] heh [00:33] FUCK YEAH FORUM.NOS.ORG [00:33] http://www.archive.org/details/forum.nos.org-2007 [00:34] does anyone else have a strategy for working with ext-formatted external drives that actually works for more than one computer? [00:35] automount wfm [00:36] but perhaps you meant more than one OS [00:36] does automount also handle drives that are attached by eSATA? [00:39] thanks for the help guys- I got it working again [00:43] probably [00:43] I don't actually have any eSATA [00:44] exit [00:44] hrmph [00:45] bbl [01:08] german beers are HUGE [01:14] Yes indeed [01:16] I'm going to bed because I fucking want to [01:27] thats what it means to be a grownup [01:56] hmm [01:56] this tarball is tarring 77 kilobytes per second [01:56] which is suboptimal [01:57] zillions of small files? [01:57] 100,000 friendster profiles, so yea [01:58] ah [01:58] and this filesystem has never been tuned to ensure adequate performace at 90+% full [02:02] here's an awesome archiving-related story: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/08/accuracy-takes-power-one-mans-3ghz-quest-to-build-a-perfect-snes-emulator.ars [02:17] neato [02:19] I kind of don't believe him [02:19] You realize that, right [02:19] What he's saying, is kind of not true [02:22] what part don't you believe? [02:23] that accuracy necessarily requires more cpu cycles [02:23] well, he does address the FPGA idea people bring up- but says it's not really practical, as only a handful would be able to use it [02:24] in the comments anyway [02:27] otherwise, I'm not terribly well-versed in this area, so I'd love to hear your thoughts [02:28] I have to go take underscor on a whirlwind tour of the worst aspects of SF [02:28] i havent read it closey yet, but i think he's at least mostly on target. [02:28] SketchCow: remember the photo! [02:28] Which photo [02:31] SketchCow: The worst aspects? [02:31] Oh goodie [02:31] BTW, you should upload those awesome photos of my shirt tonight ;) [02:36] yes, that photo [02:36] i demanded it personally [04:24] Oh, are we talking about Byuu's BSNES? [04:24] yeah [04:24] Now that I look, that was three hours ago. [04:24] but not a lot has happened since then [04:25] Yeah, that eats CPU time like a mofo, and he says it's not really intended for people to actually use. [04:25] that doesn't sound like what he says exactly [04:26] Well his stance as far as I recall was something along the lines of "No sane person would use this/it's for research and improving other stuff" [04:26] that's kind of what I read [04:27] But now that we have computers that can actually run it, one might as well use it [04:27] I saw something more like "less-accurate emulators have their place, but their place is for less-powerful computers that need to take shortcuts" [04:29] He is right that it's a deceptively difficult piece of hardware to emulate. [04:35] all hardware is difficult to emulate perfectly [04:36] not all hardware has extant software that depends on every last quirk, though :) [04:40] True. But the 2A03 of the NES is a lot less esoteric than the 5A22/PPU/SPC700. SNES has some pretty odd methods for addressing memory, for one. [04:41] And I think there were a lot of idiosyncrasies in when and how you could push things between the various processors. [04:45] what are these, chip names? [04:45] I've actually never used either a NES or SNES, I think [04:51] Oh, 2A03 (modified 6502) is the NES, basically. That's the CPU and Audio processor. The PPU is necessarily pretty simple. [05:07] ah [05:36] chronomex: not the actual postings, just associated stuff like group pages and group file attachments [05:36] oh. [05:36] :( [05:36] but that's metadata, which is important in its own right [05:37] yes, definitely a good first step [05:44] http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/08/accuracy-takes-power-one-mans-3ghz-quest-to-build-a-perfect-snes-emulator.ars [05:44] when did i get opd? [05:45] dunno [05:46] I can fix it if you don't like it though [05:48] tis ok, i can do it myself ;) [05:49] SketchCow: byuu knows whereof he speaks [05:50] but the paragraph about a 1:1 relationship between accuracy and speed is a little silly [05:56] he's been very helpful in contributing info and code to the MESS project but we're still nowhere near his level of SNES accuracy [05:56] best practices question for turning pathnames into filenames: replace / with :, _, -, ' ', what? [05:56] currently using a : but I think _ might be better [05:56] (this is to create a torrent of symbian.org) [05:58] windows doesn't allow : [05:59] yeah, that's why I'm looking to change it [05:59] the pathname components are all [A-Za-z0-9] so any non-alnum character should work [05:59] I'm soliciting opinions [06:00] - _ , . are probably the safest choices [06:01] I usually see _ [06:02] I think , looks best, but _ is pretty standard [06:56] * chronomex making symbian torrent [07:09] oops, can't use _ because it's used already [07:09] using , instaed [07:45] http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Nokia-denies-Symbian-distancing-claims-742925.html [07:45] lying motherfuckers [08:02] http://www.ollydbg.de/Paperbak/index.html [08:14] http://www.doomworld.com/vb/everything-else/56482-vgmusic-com-30k-midi-collection/ [08:16] http://youtube.com/watch?v=ytXK4mN0Lcw [08:49] bbot_: I'm making up a torrent of what I have from symbian.org. mind giving me tips, and help getting it on thepiratebay? [08:50] I'll go to bed now but I'll be around tomorrow. [12:29] http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/Aug/76 [12:34] dear god, the engrish [12:59] chronomex: for the E2 torrent I created a tar file on the linux machine that did the downloading, to avoid the various comical case issues of the Geocities torrent [13:00] then I copied it to my home windows machine and seeded it from there, rather than fight with my VPS host's AUP on torrenting [13:01] adding a torrent to TPB is dead simple; SketchCow has the password for the AT username [13:03] and then someone or another here runs their own tracker, which you should at to the torrent's tracker list, since any tracker associated with the TPB will die fairly often; let me scroll up [13:03] Just double- and triple-check before you hit upload for the torrent, you can't edit it as I found out with the "New of the World Archive" [13:05] share the .torrent file here first and have people start [13:11] http://explodie.org/opentracker.html Aranje's tracker [14:54] / should be replaced with %7F [14:54] urlencode [14:59] it's the only thing thats unambiguous [15:04] / is 2F. 7F is delete [15:05] 2F, right [15:11] huh. there are several trackers running on google app engine [15:12] i remember running across one several months to a year ago [15:12] it had no torrents being tracked, though [15:12] alard: I think there's a bug; it keeps telling me that it can't open the CDX file [15:12] alard: even though I'm not using the cdx option [15:13] alard: gotta go to work now, but I'll take a look at the code when I get there [15:22] db48xOthe: Okay, maybe I'll have a look too. (Haven't tried the CDX option that often.) [15:22] The reception on the Wget mailinglist looks promising, by the way. [15:31] Heh, you guys are more than welcome to use my tracker for tracking data. It ain't going down any time soon. [15:38] jch: where you at @ camp? [16:21] ersi: in the telecomix bus right now [16:21] i just slept for one and a half hours, i'm still a bit groggy [16:22] jch: nice, I'm at eth0 (red huge tent) right now [16:25] let's hook up later. [16:26] sure thing [16:26] i need to wake up somewhat [16:27] gonna go at a talk at 21 [16:27] either r0ket or "the blackbox in your phone" [16:56] bbot_: thanks. what software package sdo you recommend to create the actual .torrent file? [16:57] I used utorrent, but that's windows only [16:57] ah [16:57] there's various CLI programs to make torrent files, never used any of them [16:57] rtorrent won't make torrent files, iirc [16:58] data's presently sitting on a headless linux box [17:00] ok [17:10] mktorrent is good [17:10] cool beans [17:10] Just make sure to specify a piece size, cause the default is tiny [17:10] (which will give you a torrent that's like 25MB for 100GB of files [17:10] ) [17:10] a bigger piece size* [17:10] ha ok [17:11] Bask in the awesome that is the live catalog viewer I just finished: http://home.archive.org/~abuie/index2.php [17:12] Try reordering columns by dragging, or hiding them by clicking the x's [17:12] kinda hard to use on my telephone ;) [17:13] haha [17:13] Oops, that's why it wasn't working [17:13] Helps if you save it, hahahaha [17:14] underscor: nifty [17:18] db48x: Thanks! :) [17:26] alard: I guess opt.warc_cdx_dedup_filename must be a pointer to an empty string [17:27] it'd help if the error messages included the filename [17:37] mktorrent is a good cli utility, a 4mb piece size is good for larger files. [17:38] But, irrelevant of filesize, if there are tons of individual files, the .torrent will be huge [17:43] yeah. [18:01] Heh, I know the author of mktorrent [18:02] Heh, sweet. [18:02] db48x: Strange, it works for me. I've made the error CDX messages a bit more detailed. [18:06] cool [18:08] BACK [18:10] HI [18:10] Yeah, sorry for bolting, had to truck this teenager all over SF [18:10] Had to stop at EVERY fucking ice cream place [18:11] jfc really [18:11] We pass it and he just starts screaming [18:15] lol wat [18:15] O.o [18:16] MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP [18:16] It's like crack to him [18:16] dude that shit's good [18:17] was this teenager underscor [18:18] Yeah I support mint chocolate chip as well [18:18] He probably just needs weened off it [18:19] http://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/6029961520/in/photostream [18:19] http://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/6029961254/in/photostream/ [18:19] http://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/6029407581/in/photostream/ [18:20] haha [18:20] nice shirt [18:20] mmmm, nosebridge [18:21] actually, speaking of which [18:21] underscor: that dashboard you linked takes up the entire width of my 2560x1600 screen [18:21] and then some [18:23] yipdw: buy more monitors [18:23] I think [18:23] I would, but the Macbook Pro I have here only has one monitor output [18:23] I'm not sure if Thunderbolt can run multiple 30" displays [18:23] haw, laptops [18:23] http://youtube.com/watch?v=ytXK4mN0Lcw motherfucking liar [18:23] lol [18:23] YO [18:23] also twitchy guy [18:23] ersi: do you happen to have a CD-R or two at the camp? [18:24] i need to flash my bios [18:24] you need a floppy disk [18:24] Nope [18:24] 2 CDs should hold a bios [18:24] Seeing as I just downloaded a CD image ;) [18:25] the 1.4 GB BIOS image [18:25] ah yeah that [18:25] Jesus what [18:25] when has a bios not been like 4 megs [18:26] I was joking [18:26] "Insert Disc 2 to continue..." [18:26] (hopefully) [18:26] >_> [18:26] maybe Gigabyte will release a custom BIOS [18:28] one can only hope [18:31] I would love to see a law in some random country that forces manufacturers that wish to sell motherboards there to release bios sources for every mobo delivered to that country under something like the WTFPL [18:31] yes, please [18:31] that would be the sex [18:32] bios source code is apparently hideous [18:33] lulululululululu [18:33] db48x: that's a shock [18:33] to hear the openbios guys tell it, the bios companies apparently don't use version control [18:33] oof [18:33] yea [18:34] no wonder they always release 7 revisions after they ship the mobo [18:34] no, it's a wonder that they can release 7 upgrades after they ship [18:36] with no version control, they aparently just have a glob of source code for every motherboard they've shipped [18:39] I'd believe it [18:39] a friend of mine used to work for a hardware design company who thought that CVS was awesome [18:39] (this was in 2008) [18:40] heh [18:40] Hmm, maybe it's time to back up The Escapist? [18:41] are they going under? [18:41] Sounds like they're hitting some tough times. [18:41] I call dibs on Zero Punctuation [18:41] At the very least, I'm not sure some of their shows are to stick around. [18:42] Extra Credits has bailed; that much seems certain. [18:42] will wget suffice? [18:42] Something about not getting paid. There's a lot of smoke and the situation is still developin. [18:43] It could be that in the end it's all a bunch of BS and smoke, and the mysterious "investors" will keep it afloat. [18:43] heh [18:44] But if nothing else, the content creators are getting antsy and not getting paid, it seems [18:44] Seemed watchlist worthy [18:44] let's just do it [18:44] see if wget will work [18:45] Flash video content? [18:45] HTML articles and...I forget what forum software. [18:45] yes [18:45] wget should work [18:45] I subscribe to the blog of the guy who wrote the article on anonymous which attracted the attention of lulzsec [18:45] he hasn't written anything for the escapist since [18:46] they use flowplayer, which has a common use case of "feed it an MP4" [18:46] Yahtzee's Portal 2 review can be found at http://video2.themis-media.com/4e30d1405aaa74b9ec40f0d773689a97/mp4/escapist/zero-punctuation/10376e4be7715e77ec969da1f05533db.mp4, for example [18:46] I don't think there's a way to derive the URL of a video given an Escapist URL without (say) loading the thing into a browser, but they are at least MP4s [18:47] how does flowplayer get the url? [18:47] let me take a look at this [18:47] Ah. Maybe that get_flash_videos script would work? [18:47] url to a webpage? [18:47] db48x: not yet sure. I was just watching Firebug's Net panel [18:47] heh [18:48] oh [18:48] there's a config flashvar [18:48] in the Portal 2 example, the URL is http://www.themis-media.com/videos/config/3153-e6f6554ce6eae0b626d1f966574eaa57.js%3Fplayer_version%3D2.5%26playerId%3Dplayer_api%26host%3Descapistmagazine.com [18:48] so FlowPlayer gets a URL to a JSON object, which it deserializes and loads [18:48] that JSON contains a playlist [18:48] yep, looks like [18:49] what a fucking needless indirection [18:49] whatever [18:50] will wget see the url to the json file? [18:50] yes, it's part of the page's HTML [18:50] so you could regex it out or some such [18:51] actually, wtf [18:51] oh nm [18:52] I forgot that the standard method of embedding Flash videos involves embedding it in 86 quadrillion different ways [18:52] yea :( [18:52] but you can just grab object/param[name="flashvars"] and grep config=(.+)$ [18:58] I guess I just never scroll to the bottom of the page. This is really the first I've heard of these "Themis Media" sods. [19:03] lol themis media [19:03] aren't they part of that other content mill [19:44] http://www.archive.org/details/llink-20110624 now up. [19:54] oh god yes please some add escapist support to get_flash_videos :) [20:06] What's the best firefox addon for backing up youtube videos [20:07] no idea, i highly recommend get_flash_videos (normal download might be broken at the moment) [20:08] I've never convinced an extension to work. [20:08] Not for that, at least. [20:08] is get_flash_videos a script or something? [20:08] yes, perl [20:08] I've just found a documentary I'd love to make sure I have a copy of [20:09] http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/ [20:09] thank you <3 [20:09] Ever since they moved the video cache from /tmp to the browser cache gfv has been my life-saver [20:09] And video saver, for that matter. [20:09] (Though I have no idea why it hoses my terminal every time I use it.) [20:10] get_flash_videos? it does that for me too, i always have to reset to see my input again [20:10] ah, "gfv", yes [20:10] Haha, yes, that very behaviour. [20:11] Oh right, I aliased my preferred parameters to pfv and gfv. I use it fairly frequently. [20:11] i have yd for gfv [20:11] yd ctrl-shift-v is easy [20:12] alias yd="cd ~/ramdisk/ && get_flash_videos -p " [20:13] Aranje: I use http://www.downloadhelper.net/ [20:15] thanks, underscor [20:21] I usually use youtube-dl from the command line but for other websites the net tab on the firebug extension will let you grab pretty much anything fetched from flash [20:25] I have a shellscript that wraps youtube-dl. it uses mplayer, caches videos locally, and pauses whatever music I'm playing [20:25] that sort of thing [20:25] I've seen the first torrent got launched?! [20:25] nice! [20:26] welp, moving to #urlteam [20:28] Those guys get the nice towels [20:31] wtf are you talking about [20:32] urlteams's towels, evidently. They get the nice ones. (Or so I hear.) [20:32] um, okay [20:53] hahah chronomex [21:36] I wonder how far emijrp has progressed with pulling down jamendo
