[00:03] * db48x sighs [00:03] FAIL [00:03] my answer to the secret question can't contain spaces [00:04] lol, FAIL again [00:04] it asks me to verify that the information I entered is correct, and echos back my secret answer as ***************** [00:05] hahaha [00:08] I hate it when sites insist on using secret questions--seems to me they defeat the entire purpose of using a secure password [00:09] it's just a second password, really [00:09] yea [00:09] I usually just enter something equally cryptic that has nothing to do with the question. I use a password safe program, anyway. No way I have time to memorize 5 billion passwords :P [00:11] Though that does admittedly make things more difficult when my main PC breaks down or whatever [00:11] >.> [00:11] I have a password safe file that's replicated on all my machines [00:12] I could do that; I guess the only reason I haven't is sheer laziness [00:12] Just like I haven't bothered fixing my Grub config to load the right partition by default even though it would take all of about five minutes [00:13] heh [00:13] Actually, scratch that. I'll just do it now while I'm thinking about it [00:13] :3 [00:14] Now let's see, which partition is the right menu.lst on? I really need to do some cleanup :D [00:21] tev: yeah, I made one of my boxes boot correctly without manual intervention last week [00:21] it's been in a half-broken state for three years [00:22] Haha [00:23] What happened here was that I was trying to switch to Arch but hit a road block because my mobo uses some wacky PATA controller that the Arch kernel doesn't support out of the box [00:24] What I'll probably do is temporarily install it to one of my external HDDs that it does recognize, boot into it and rebuild the kernel for PATA support, then transplant the system back to my PATA drike [01:16] Does archiveteam have any plans to backup/archive VHS tapes that were never released on a digital format? [01:16] That would be ultra cool [01:16] be kind of labor intensive too [01:16] analog capture requires good hardware also [01:17] yeah, I know [01:17] it would probably be an archive.org project more than archiveteam [01:17] I was doing a bit of 16mm film acq a while ago [01:17] but would still be cool [01:17] considering reusing the ccd in a flatbed scanner to make an ultra high res film scanner [01:18] that would be neat [01:18] yup [01:38] Anyone hear about home made 35mm film scanning equipment? [01:49] haven't, but i'd probably think it isn't hard [01:49] need a sensor and a transport, right? [01:49] The crew? who i'm aware of working on a project was having frame warping issues. [01:50] how were you automating the flatbed scanning? [01:50] on the 16mm [03:15] hven't. i used a telecine and a ntsc-firewire thing [03:15] I'd make a new electronics thing to talk to the sensor probably [04:56] Does Archive Team have any plans to become yet another rip group? [04:56] Fuck no, actually. [05:09] SketchCow: Only if the rip group is closing up shop and taking all their content down, aye? :D [05:15] Well, maybe not even then. [14:18] mmm: http://i.imgur.com/0lvGZ.png [14:19] from http://insideinsides.blogspot.com/ [16:41] just got back from a better-than-expected flea market- picked up Macintosh Pascal, Microsoft Multiplan, and Macwrite/Macpaint pack [16:42] https://encrypted.google.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=site%3Afedex.com+inurl%3ATracking%3Ftracknumbers%3D&btnG=Search [17:59] web spider of choice (archiving some forums) [17:59] ? [17:59] wget? [18:05] yeah, wget is good [18:05] though wget with the warc patch is better for Actual Archiving [18:06] warc? [18:07] output format for web page archiving [18:08] yep I looked it up [18:08] wget is good any way you lice it btw [18:08] warc just makes it that much better [18:09] s/lice/slice/ [19:56] Hey, can someone do a heretrix crawl of desktop.google.com? [19:56] They're killing it in 12 days. [19:56] o_O [19:59] Let's do a few mirrors, we'll put it up the day after it goes down [20:00] SketchCow: Sure, I have Heritrix here, I'll have a look. [20:07] Thanks [20:25] Uploading wikileaks cables to archive.org. [20:35] does heritrix use pipelining? [20:45] wikileaks..decrypted? [20:45] SketchCow: you're not one to change your mind much, so why are you now archiving the cables? [20:46] inv: I'm not sure, but I don't think it does. [20:52] I was asked to [20:54] it should :( [21:01] inv: Well, just be patient and everything will arrive. Maybe that little bit of extra speed is not worth the extra complexity. [21:02] maybe it is. [21:02] it probably is. [21:02] 60% speedup? sounds good. [21:04] Also: with the default settings, Heritrix is very polite and waits a few seconds between each request to the same server. In that case, pipelining doesn't help. [21:26] no. I like my software to be rude though. [21:30] rude software? [23:03] so, are we going to archive fanfiction.net? [23:03] has anyone given wget a go? [23:11] need to go to the store first [23:12] err [23:53] ff.net? So it's got users, ff.n/u/{1..3_220_000} though the first couple thousand seem pretty spotty-- earliest I've seen is 3240. Story pages at ff.n/s/$storyid/$chapter and ff.n/communities which looks like it doesn't take straight numbers in the URI. [23:54] ff.n/s/$storyid/$chapter/$title_urlized, if we want to keep the links working [23:54] same with users [23:55] Yeah, but when you get a page by the number all of that's in the variables defined within. [23:56] But yeah [23:56] Oh, right, there are forums. [23:59] SketchCow: ops pls [23:59] And stories have reviews at ff.n/r/$storyid
