[00:16] 21G wowpediaorg-20110806-wikidump [00:16] wooooo! [00:20] wowowo! [01:20] I just finally cracked open another one of my older game boxes from a thift store, and was quite surprised by the disks contained within [01:22] originally, it included 3.5 and 5.25 disks of the game- mine just had 2 5.25s in it- Model D3/sx PLUS utility diskette and Virusscan v8.2 UC Computer Shareware Library [01:23] Just found out Off The Hook has been discussing me for the last few shows. [01:23] Nice. [01:25] SketchCow: you're back in New York this week? [01:28] Yeah [01:32] I'm sending a box of stuff your way this week- would you like me to send the drive with the friendster stuff along, or would uploading it be better? [01:46] Uploading better. [01:47] tar cvf - data | bzip2 --best > friendster.000340000-000400000.tar.bz2 [01:47] My days are filled with this. [01:47] I still have that PC Jr for you, I've been extremly busy & I apologize that I have not shipped it out yet [01:50] Not hurt. [02:30] SketchCow: what, are you recompressing everything? [02:31] also: http://computationaltales.blogspot.com/2011/06/breadth-first-search-and-pig-thief.html [02:40] I have to, there's no consistency [02:42] isn't that the fun of it? ;) [02:43] I mean, what else will the explorers do if every directory in every tarball is precisely the same as every other? [02:44] No. [02:44] Don't even. [02:47] I think I've run into a strange situation, and I'm hoping someone can confirm or deny it for me- 3.5 floppy images made with dd can be opened with 7zip, but ddrescue images can't [02:49] I haven't heard of that before. [02:49] SketchCow: there has to be a terrain to explore [02:49] dashcloud: Any stuff you needed to upload? [02:49] db48xOthe: Any stuff you needed to upload? [02:49] db48xOthe: There's plenty to fucking explore [02:49] I am going to have to create, possibly, 200+ "items" of Friendster. [02:49] ;) [02:50] I'm still tarring up my friendster [02:50] I'll set you out on that with a lantern and a map and you can send letters from the front [02:50] you'll be happy to know I've been naming my files the same way [02:51] file1, file2, file3, etc? [02:51] heh [02:51] dashcloud: friendster.009400000-009499999.tar.bz2, for instance [02:52] SketchCow: lemme tar up GoogleFriendsNewsletter real quick [02:52] friendster.124138261.tar.bz2 is, sadly, irregular [02:53] ah- I was fairly consistent- I just did one one of them and then for future ones just changed out the values to the new ones [02:55] I do have 2 archives to upload- I'll get the info from you tomorrow though [02:56] mine were not zero-padded, but I renamed them with zero padding [02:57] do they need to be zero-padded, or you're going to re-compress them no matter what? [02:58] SketchCow: I was dozing off the other day and had an idea. what if the next time we did something the size of Friendster we wrote the saved data directly to a gzipped nilfs image? [02:59] I get crazy ideas sometimes when I'm half asleep, but I don't think this one is too far out there [03:01] also, are you fixing up the numbering inside the Friendster tarballs to be consistant? [03:01] That is an awful idea [03:01] But keep having ideas. [03:01] It's going to still be fucked up, these friendster tars [03:02] But I'm trying to keep these at least manageable. [03:04] YAHOOVIDEO/6141119/Parkhotel Residence Bad W\303\266rishofen-14942659.flv [03:07] why is nilfs awful, other than that it would needlessly keep out windows users? [03:15] 51G FRIENDSTER-001000000 [03:15] 89G FRIENDSTER-000000000 [03:15] 118G FRIENDSTER-002000000 [03:15] 329G FRIENDSTER-003000000 [03:15] 615G FRIENDSTER-004000000 [03:15] 240G FRIENDSTER-005000000 [03:15] 323G FRIENDSTER-006000000 [03:15] 274G FRIENDSTER-007000000 [03:15] 401G FRIENDSTER-008000000 [03:18] is that compressed or uncompressed? [03:24] * db48xOthe yawns [03:24] ok, anyone want GFN? [03:24] it's a whopping 17 megs [03:37] * db48xOthe yawns [03:38] http://db48x.net/temp/GoogleFriendsNewsletter.tar.gz [03:38] time to sleep [03:40] Thanks. [19:22] Hi Jason, my name is Stephen Witt, and I'm a producer with Al Jazeera English in New York City. We're doing a story on private cyber-security contracting and I was wondering if you might be available for a brief off-the-record convo sometime today. I know you've appeared on our network before.... [19:22] Please let me know. I can be reached at this email or at the contact info below. [19:35] woot [19:35] the fuck >:o [19:35] 'Private cyber-security contracting', hadn't heard of the term before. [19:53] heh, "I know you've appeared on our network before" [19:53] I like how that has multiple feasible meanings in this context [19:55] I had to totally shave my in-process beard to go on there [19:56] does Al Jazeera have an appearence code? [19:56] >I< do [19:56] ah [19:59] SketchCow: Do you happen to know how many files there can be in one Internet Archive item? [19:59] Infinite, although I don't suggest that. [19:59] Why. [19:59] I'm downloading 'the official site of Muammar Al Gathafi' ( http://www.algathafi.org/ ) and was wondering how to structure that. [19:59] One big fat item [19:59] It's a nice curiosity, with lots of speeches in audio and video. (Latest: 'Hands off the North Pole'.) [19:59] Does it have a robots.txt [19:59] No. [20:01] http://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/sets/72157627449430098/with/6050100735/ [20:18] djjssjhduwh ewhfewfr [20:18] dheuhredfheuyf [20:20] SketchCow, trying to be serious, how DO you preserve a braille only book.. there is of course no way to represent the 3d dots unless you get a shadow just right when scanning. [20:21] that's a very good questoin [20:22] maybe you could make a 3d scanner with a bunch of tiny dragging metal fingers? [20:22] no [20:23] it's academic, since 'all' books in braille should have an eye readable version too [20:23] unless it is some special medical thing [20:23] laster interferometry [20:23] http://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/6050000284 [20:24] alard: Don't do more than about 9000 [20:24] Otherwise it breaks things [20:24] *cough* *cough* [20:26] underscor: That's more than enough. :) (There are no more than 300 audio/video files, I think.) [20:52] underscor: lol [20:56] so [20:56] don't go over 9000 [20:56] er wait, I think that was the joke [20:56] * yipdw is a little slow [21:03] yipdw: Ironically, 9000 is about the actual limit [21:03] http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0398/hornbacher/gifs/excerpt.pullquote1.gif [21:04] oh, ha [21:04] But that was pretty funny, haha [21:27] anyone happen to save this before it was nuked? http://vimeo.com/22936122 [21:32] Looks like it was a trailer. [21:41] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5tUZJ2p-r0 [21:41] That wasn't THAT hard to find. [21:45] the vimeo was the whole movie [21:46] Was it. [21:48] yes, friend had that link, said it was full [21:48] lawyer time i bet [21:50] Your friend is wrong. [21:51] It is absolutely the same trailer I just linked to. [21:51] (Which I just downloaded.) [21:53] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZeeCXvOuy8 [21:53] Same group. [21:53] I assume this is another episode in it. [21:54] the youtube link looked like a trailer to me. and I can potentially see why it might have been taken down. [21:54] Good question. [21:55] I'm guessing Disney sent a DMCA notice over the use of Tron Legacy clips. Vimeo would have had to take it down (under their DMCA policy) until the poster counterclaimed [22:01] or the person that posted the clip at vimeo wasn't affiliated with the creator, but I don't think that was the reason [22:06] either way, lost another one to the ether... [22:08] Seriously, I just linked to the one that's the same. [22:09] Your friend was wrong, vimeo didn't have the full. [22:24] does the geocities dump (or one of the other dump projects) have /josefjoey in them? [22:30] Nothing does [22:32] that's unfortunate. though it looks like the wayback has some of it [22:33] SketchCow: I've got my last 2 friendster archives ready to upload now [22:36] OK, let me set up something. [23:39] hmm [23:40] when did boingboing switch their commenting system over to disqus? I suspect all old comments are now gone on older posts. [23:43] disqus is not to be trusted. [23:44] well, as a result of the change to disqus, any old posts before the change appear to have vanished. [23:44] like on this 2008 post: http://boingboing.net/2008/11/19/jonestown-30-years-l-2.html [23:47] typical [23:48] also with the change to disqus, it appears one cannot post anonymously anymore (the old system just required an email address that it didn't validate) [23:49] AWESOME [23:49] (and didn't publicly display) [23:57] 4,1Wanna make easy money by clicking ?
