00:48 🔗 chronomex hardware, data, and ephemera
00:49 🔗 chronomex we primarily focus on data and to a lesser extent ephemera, but we understand the importance of hardware too
00:49 🔗 SketchCow I'm on a tear towards that.
00:49 🔗 SketchCow But not directly related to archive team
00:50 🔗 SketchCow other than I'm using archive.org infrastructure to do it
00:51 🔗 Lowtekk i'm all about the hardware aspect
00:51 🔗 SketchCow Lowtek Mystik
00:52 🔗 Lowtekk I'm unmelting my hardware website as we speak, it burned up in re-entry last week
01:00 🔗 Jofo Lowtekk: it did what now?
01:03 🔗 Lowtekk one of the plugins configuration got all mangled, and had intermittent 500 errors that I couldn't for the life of me resolve
01:03 🔗 Lowtekk i'd been through so many doc managers, the site kind of fell in on itself, it's tough to explain :)
01:09 🔗 Jofo perhaps one of the fine gentlemen in here could provide advice
01:21 🔗 DFJustin a couple of us in here are from #messdev which is more hardware-oriented
01:23 🔗 chronomex nice
01:35 🔗 db48xOthe bah
01:36 🔗 db48xOthe construction guys working on the apt next door woke me up from my doze
01:37 🔗 Lowtekk what manner of noise are they making?
01:37 🔗 db48xOthe big crashing noise
01:41 🔗 chronomex shoot them
01:48 🔗 db48xOthe luckily I think they are packing up and going home
01:48 🔗 db48xOthe so I will be able to get back to my sleeping
01:48 🔗 Lowtekk enjoy
01:52 🔗 db48xOthe although now that I'm awake I'm hungry
01:53 🔗 db48xOthe I just ate a sandwich three or four hours ago
01:53 🔗 Lowtekk pancakes for dinner is where it's at
01:54 🔗 db48xOthe that does sound good
01:55 🔗 db48xOthe hrm, I don't think I have any eggs though
01:56 🔗 db48xOthe yea, I'm basically down to sandwiches or sandwiches
01:56 🔗 db48xOthe or oatmeal
02:00 🔗 chronomex oatmeal sandwich
02:00 🔗 db48xOthe hmm... no.
02:01 🔗 chronomex o ok
02:08 🔗 db48xOthe I just deleted the strawberry jam reserves
02:17 🔗 db48xOthe depleted
02:17 🔗 chronomex I was wondering.
02:57 🔗 Aranje If any of you lovely datawhores happens upon a copy of the cables.csv that was apparently leaked today, do relate to me a link
03:00 🔗 SketchCow The file named "cables.csv" is 1.73 gigabytes
03:00 🔗 db48xOthe heh
03:15 🔗 Aranje What he said ^
04:01 🔗 DFJustin hah, rummaging through the 5.25" floppy drawer and found a drive cleaning diskette, just when I could use one
04:12 🔗 Coderjoe happen to have an accurite 5.25" HRD disk in there?
04:22 🔗 DFJustin don't think so
04:34 🔗 undersco2 I didn't know Walmart had free wifi
04:34 🔗 undersco2 4mbps too
04:39 🔗 SketchCow You know what the shame is?
04:39 🔗 SketchCow Knowing that
04:40 🔗 chronomex you know what the shame is? going to walmart.
04:40 🔗 SketchCow Right
04:40 🔗 SketchCow That's precisely what I mean. You can't know that if you don't go
04:40 🔗 chronomex I'm proud to announce that I've never been inside a walmart.
04:41 🔗 SketchCow I have been very rarely.
04:41 🔗 SketchCow Only bought something once or two
04:41 🔗 SketchCow Once, for example, I bought critical safety equipment I needed to go on a cave run.
04:42 🔗 SketchCow Otherwise I'd have wasted thousands on a trip
04:42 🔗 chronomex that makes sense
04:46 🔗 SketchCow I love arguing with pro-walmart people
04:46 🔗 SketchCow It's like talking to a person punching themsleves in the face, talking about freedom
04:46 🔗 chronomex ha
04:46 🔗 chronomex there are pro-walmart people?
04:47 🔗 SketchCow Of course.
04:47 🔗 chronomex even tprophet who is crazy frugal doesn't actually like walmrat
04:47 🔗 SketchCow Like dogs, they see "low prices" and the thinking ends there.
04:47 🔗 chronomex probably it's some sort of seattle bubble
04:47 🔗 SketchCow I paid $1.19 instead of $10, I win
04:47 🔗 SketchCow Fuck you for wanting me to pay $10
04:47 🔗 SketchCow QED

12:16 🔗 Wyatt I'm not sure what business Stallman had time traveling...
12:16 🔗 Wyatt (Of course, if you turn the smoothing off it makes more sense.)
12:19 🔗 Wyatt What format does the ngram database take exactly?
12:24 🔗 Wyatt Oh, they have an article up about it. Time to read.
13:03 🔗 Cowering lol.. yea, archive this.. in plaintext... <Soojin> hey man i put a leak in your leak... http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/wikileaks-encryption-key-file-accidentally-leaked-online-1.381438
13:11 🔗 Wyatt Hmm, I wonder if it's legit?
13:12 🔗 Cowering depends on how paranoid that traitor is
13:15 🔗 Soojin I hope a n64 rom leak will come soon too:)
13:24 🔗 Lowtekk aren't there existing complete n64 ROM sets already? ;)
14:08 🔗 chronomex war5102_: LA has transit, just the city is crazy big and it might take a while to get places

14:28 🔗 Schbirid files/u/uusee.com/20110829: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows, Nullsoft Installer self-extracting archive

14:43 🔗 Schbirid this bloats my archive .(
14:43 🔗 chronomex huh
14:43 🔗 chronomex disk is cheap!
14:45 🔗 chronomex but yeah
14:46 🔗 Schbirid seems like uusee is the only offender (that drastically) though
14:46 🔗 Schbirid all others at least serve text, which compresses well
14:54 🔗 Schbirid wait, i already remove bad files. forgot about that
14:55 🔗 Schbirid bad regexp :)

15:27 🔗 illunatic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2W4wglPW2c
16:28 🔗 war5102_ chronomex: would you recommend car and metro or metro only?

20:59 🔗 SketchCow Spectrum Magazine archive
21:00 🔗 SketchCow 52gb of digitized spectrum magazines
21:00 🔗 SketchCow 30gb done
21:01 🔗 SketchCow I'm just spraying through my back archives of old magazines
21:01 🔗 SketchCow In for a dime, in for a grand
21:01 🔗 SketchCow Some are going to be pulled down
21:01 🔗 SketchCow Fine with it
21:01 🔗 SketchCow If I upload 5000 magazines and 80 get pulled, well, OK
21:02 🔗 db48x2 hear hear
21:10 🔗 inv what's spectrum?
21:12 🔗 Ymgve SketchCow: so have you mirrored the uncensored wikileaks docs yet? :P
21:12 🔗 Ymgve (Not that I know where they are)
21:18 🔗 SketchCow No.
21:18 🔗 SketchCow Boy, let me do that
21:18 🔗 SketchCow And then
21:18 🔗 SketchCow AND THEN
21:18 🔗 SketchCow I'm going to go outside and slam my dick in the car door
21:18 🔗 SketchCow WITH my dick in the car door, I'll drive to main street
21:18 🔗 SketchCow and run over a cop
21:18 🔗 SketchCow and wait
21:24 🔗 db48x2 if you do all of that you can just plead insanity
21:26 🔗 SketchCow Or tuesday
21:26 🔗 SketchCow I can plead that it's tuesday
21:26 🔗 db48x2 heh
21:27 🔗 SketchCow I'm now adding Info magazine
21:27 🔗 SketchCow These are some strange magazines, yo
21:30 🔗 SketchCow http://www.archive.org/details/info-magazine
21:30 🔗 SketchCow It consistently lags as I dump things into the queue.
21:31 🔗 SketchCow http://www.archive.org/details/micro-adventurer-17
21:32 🔗 SketchCow Somehow I missed there was a dedicated adventurer magazine
21:33 🔗 db48x2 that looks like some pretty good musical typography on page 8 of issue 9
21:36 🔗 db48x2 hmm
21:37 🔗 db48x2 "Fortunately, if you have the need to run several memory-hungry programs concurrently, the Amiga's memory can be expanded to 8 megabytes, more than enough to handle almost anyone's needs."
22:08 🔗 Wyatt I think I found a weird awk bug...
22:10 🔗 Wyatt echo 10011001010011101011100|awk '{ printf("%024d\n", $0) }' #returns 010011001010011101986816
22:11 🔗 Wyatt And if you change the %024d to %024s, it pads it with a space.
22:14 🔗 db48x2 not a bug
22:17 🔗 db48x2 awk uses floating point numbers internaly, and 10011001010011101986816 is simply the value nearest to 10011001010011101011100 that a double can represent
22:17 🔗 db48x2 note that it's reading the number in as base 10, not binary
22:20 🔗 db48x2 you can find any number of documents online explaining the shortcomings of floating-point numbers
22:20 🔗 db48x2 if you want to do arithmetic on large integers, you should use a different tool; I recommend dc
22:20 🔗 db48x2 bbl
22:21 🔗 Wyatt I ran into dc at some point...and bounced off.
22:21 🔗 Wyatt And yes, I'm aware that FP is derpy.
22:21 🔗 Wyatt But what about the %024s? That should pad with zeros, right?
23:20 🔗 db48xOthe only numbers can be padded with zeros
23:22 🔗 db48xOthe "A leading '0' (zero) acts as a flag that indicates that output should be padded with zeros instead of spaces. This applies only to the numeric output formats. This flag only has an effect when the field width is wider than the value to print."
23:34 🔗 Wyatt Hmm, somehow I missed that line, and I saw examples where that worked. Bitchy.
