[01:21] hmm [01:21] http://allthingsd.com/20110906/exclusive-carol-bartz-out-at-yahoo-cfo-interim-ceo/ [02:46] Let's add 242 issues of Popular Computing Weekly [02:47] yes [02:48] SketchCow: you wouldn't happen to have a line on The Computer Journal () by any chance, would you? [02:49] Hey, buddy, sorry no call, all is handled [02:49] I'm going to connect you with Alexis, we had a late meeting today [02:50] sweet [02:50] i just found magazinesdownload.com [02:51] of course that will be backup for private usage for 20 years then on archive.org [02:54] Man, 11,240 pages [02:54] I'm turning into 242 .zip files [02:54] That will go up to archive.org [02:54] But wow, someone fucking scanned 11,000 pages [02:54] What the hell is wrong with people [02:54] it's a lot easier with a sheetfeeder [02:55] I'm up to about that many [02:55] in 5 days of effective work [02:56] Team also proposed the possible following: [02:56] Item available [02:56] not downloadable/browsable [02:56] But metadata there [02:57] There's, like, 4 different levels [03:00] hmmmm. [03:00] cool [03:01] we'll figure something out [03:03] Get an account. Do you have an account? [03:03] I can give you my scripts that let wholescale ingesting happen [03:05] SketchCow: just found out your jason scott [03:05] SketchCow: yeah, I'm chronomex [03:05] watch defcon 18 and defcon 19 videos this morning [03:23] http://www.archive.org/details/popular-computing-weekly-1982-04-23 [03:34] i think popular computing weekly is going to be used in comix since there is no pdf file of them [03:35] The system will make a PDF of it [03:35] ok [03:35] The deriving system is on the job. [03:36] ok [03:36] i have like a ton of the screen savers episodes [03:37] lookly there is big techtv torrent out there [03:37] *luckly [03:38] there is still about 2 months of episode of the screen savers only on youtube [04:55] backing up hak5 season 9 [05:52] Found a gap in the Your Computer Magazines [05:54] Fixed it [06:04] oh wow the local free computer magazine I used to read when I lived in san diego still exists [06:04] they have pdfs but only back to 2004 http://webserver.computoredge.com/editorial/prg/edframec.mvc?issuenumber=all&issue=2935&zone=SD&article=pastiss [06:09] The derive queue has really cleaned up. I can shove magazines in like crazy now. [06:09] I may (may) run out sooner rather than later. [06:09] I'll help! [06:09] Help run them out? [06:10] no, help fill the queue [06:10] * chronomex madman who scans [06:15] profiles magazine (kaypro) http://www.retroarchive.org/docs/magazines/profiles/index.html [06:16] http://www.retroarchive.org/docs/magazines/ [06:16] Wow, mind-blowing set there [06:16] OK, so you're ALL witnesses [06:17] The next time we do a large scale data acquisition [06:17] WE WRITE A SCRIPT THAT PACKAGES THE FINAL OUTPUT [06:17] Thank you [06:17] I have wasted weeks just MOVING AROUND data [06:17] Much less the time spent trying to massage it into something possible to put on archive.org [06:19] OKAY [06:19] GOOD IDEA [06:20] Hold me to that shit or at least remind me [06:23] okay [06:28] I wish the Profiles was complete. [06:28] I am worried someone will see my collection on archive.org and then think it's complete [06:28] Less worrisome, assholes going "Well, fuck where's the REST" [06:35] "Carol Bartz is out as Yahoo's CEO" [07:07] Fired by phone! [07:19] http://twitter.com/#!/archiveteam/status/111337658378223616 [07:20] Hah! I was able to figure out what it said before checking it out [07:20] shouldn't you have fancy hashtags or something? #fail #yahoo etc [07:21] (I dunno, I'm not a tweeter) [07:39] http://twitter.com/#!/textfiles/status/111342180550983680 [07:59] a quarter million pages, hot damn [08:04] * chronomex restarts geocities torrent seed [08:04] hahaha, the comments on tpb are funny [08:04] http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6353395/Geocities_-_The_PATCHED_Torrent [08:05] Seeeeeeeeeed you guys are so selfish, come on. Its only 641gb [08:07] I started downloading it the other day, but then I had a power outage and my NAS' bit torrent keeps crashing while trying to verify the progress [08:07] that's lame [08:07] my seed was offline for a while for no good reason [08:08] but I've got permission to use that box to seed it just about forever [08:26] just watch strange days [08:27] i think minidisc-like device would have to be in TBs though [10:07] yahoo has just come up for sale, CEO just got fired lol [10:13] who's going to buy yahoo? [10:13] Your mom. [10:13] I don't know of anyone who likes deleting things better [10:14] lol i hate yahoo just as much as the next person but i doubt anyone will buy it [10:14] I think archiveteam should put in a bid, if only to prevent them from deleting other things [10:14] They still have a few good products and talent [10:14] They will want the pleasure of pressing the delete key themselves, as if that will sell. [10:14] s/that/they [10:15] they basically just called the CEO up on the phone, uhh, whats her face, Carol Bartz and said "hows it going?" by the way, your fired" [10:39] http://codepo8.github.com/CSS3-Rainbow-Dividers/ [10:40] josephwdy: LOL [10:46] ersi: subtly reminds me of geocities for some reason [10:46] except a lot smoother [11:01] anyone got experience with ripping myspace profiles? [11:01] I'm closing my old account (which has been inactive since 2008) [11:01] myspace will need to be downloaded [11:02] use it as a test [11:02] right now I've opened all of my friends and I'm copying all the urls manually [11:02] which works [11:02] :) [11:02] are they just numeric IDs for the URLs? [11:02] only so there is mirror of myspace before it gets delete [11:03] Cameron_D: you can input an alias I think [11:03] I think there're hashes [11:03] there are numeric ids [11:04] hang on a second, I'll have a look AFTER I fix a certain preview Cameron_D decided to rainbowify ._. [11:04] e.g. http://myspace.com/11119444 [11:05] oh well that makes it a fair bit easier [11:05] indeedio [11:05] all profiles are accessible by numeric ids; the named profiles have multiple canonical urls [11:05] now to, as usual, do the first million [11:05] I think the named ones redirect from numbers to names [11:06] oh and they have an API, may make it easier to access friends and such [11:07] Cameron_D: not if it's allow access based [11:09] Oh, and if we do find a way, start at 2 [11:22] heh [11:28] time to poke some url's me thinks [11:28] yep [11:29] anyone poked fortunecity yet? [11:41] this is going to be an interesting result [12:23] well, that should be enough url poking tonight, might as well smash out more gb's on the geocities torrent [12:25] Use the archive.org item. [12:27] 67 issues of Australian National OS9 Newsletter coming up [12:29] ok? [12:30] http://www.archive.org/details/2009-archiveteam-geocities-part1 [12:31] is that the patched one? [12:32] im gonig to stick with the torrent just so I can seed it [12:33] im already sitting on the torrent about 300gb's in, ill have to grab the patched ones after [12:35] Cameron_D: dreamhost server? [12:35] no, my home server, DH don't allow torrents [12:36] well, my connection is screwed. [12:36] its been downloading for several days already [12:36] oh [12:36] that explains the slowness [12:37] its not at a rate that should slow stuff down [12:39] I'm getting 15kbps max [12:39] ouch [12:40] It's what I get for using a SSH tunnel over satellite [12:42] heh, id rather stick to wired [12:42] I get 30kbps whenever Cameron_D isn't torrenting, but meh [12:42] If all else fails, the zncserver has sslh running [12:42] SketchCow: http://census.ire.org/ Here's some census data to ingest [12:43] i wouldnt be able to live off 30kbps, id get way too impatient lol [12:44] If I use Internet Explorer, which is configured to go through the crap Squid Proxy here, I get about 150kbps [12:44] * SpaceCore is australian, and thus, doesn't know any faster internet [12:44] im aussie too as well lol, max speed i can get is about 800kbps at the moment [12:45] ersi: Huh [12:46] sweet, 3TB drives dropped in price [12:47] SketchCow: Ha? [12:51] The move from 2 TB to 3TB is being slow. [12:52] a bit, but surely making it's way. [12:52] kin37ik: ;_; I want speeds like that [12:53] SpaceCore: it's grand to have in some cases, and other cases it just sucks S: [12:53] How could that suck? [12:54] well, for example if im trying to download a torrent with data i want, the seeders might have terrible upload speed so [12:54] i dont get full speed [12:55] Ah [12:56] yeah, happends a little bit on the geo torrent, but not too often [13:00] STOP ARCHIVING http://images.encyclopediadramatica.ch/0/0e/Pope_stop_posting.jpg [13:00] emijrp: ... [13:01] emijrp: where's the fun and history in that? [13:03] I perfer this option http://i.imgur.com/wdTAH.jpg [13:03] * ersi nods [13:03] Now, let's stop sharing pictures [13:04] Can I share ASCII pics? Pl0x. [13:04] that sounds like a bad idea. [13:05] Don't make me come over there and slap you [13:05] just slap them anyway lol [13:08] SketchCow: thanks for talk about wikiteam at DEFCON, it was only a few seconds, but, man, DEFCON [13:27] I contend wikiteam is one of the single most important outcomes of archiveteam. [13:28] emijrp: I contend wikiteam is one of the single most important outcomes of archiveteam. [13:28] that was said 1 second before you rejoined [13:28] hey [13:30] thanks SpaceCore [13:33] do you need the full 641gb of geocities to uncompress it [13:34] no [13:34] oh [13:34] you can grab some parts and just unzip/unrar, though [13:34] i thought cause it had .7z.001 .7z.002 etc [13:34] youd want to do it on a linux/unix box, because windows isnt case sensitive so will overwrite files [13:35] some parts will be one archive altogether, some parts wont be [13:35] i'm on slitaz so not a problem [13:35] ok [13:40] hmm [13:40] OK, that's weird [13:40] the UK PC Plus magazine just promoed my magazine uploads to archive.org [13:42] Neat [13:46] Nice [13:47] hmm, this is odd [13:50] doesnt anyone have a directory structure of fortune city? [13:50] does* [13:58] Finished uploading all of SoftSide [13:59] now everyone can have a part of your soft side [14:00] [14:00] Dear Jason, [14:00] My name is Maria Norrman and I am getting in touch from Al Jazeera English television. We are looking into the sacking of the Yahoo CEO and the competition between Yahoo and google etc. Is this something you could talk about? Would you be available around 5pm this evening for a live studio interview on this topic? [14:01] heh [14:01] lolwat [14:01] haha [14:02] Go for it, shame her on TV :-) [14:02] hehe, nice surname.. "Maria Norwegian" [14:03] it seems that Al Jazeera is less likely to portray you as some monster, over some of their ilk [14:05] yahoo had it comming, just saying. [14:07] I've been interviewed by Al Jazeera before. [14:07] S'no big deal [14:07] yahoo is a general headscratcher these days, it seems [14:07] headscratcher? well beyond a headscratcher i'd say [14:08] It's the board, they're desperate [14:08] did they treat you and the interview fairly, out of curiousity? [14:08] Yeah, I did fine. [14:08] It was short, I assume this was short. [14:09] Just sanity checking with girl, then will probably say yes. [14:09] But I am ONLY interested insofar as the historical loss [14:09] I.e. I don't CARE about the financial issues. [14:10] Beyond incredulity they never spin anything off [14:12] it's broadcast over the air here, which is nice since I'm too cheap to pay for cable [14:12] the web is totally alight now with everyone catching on that the CEO got fired [14:13] quite a few news articles are picking a bit of a bone with yahoo as well [14:13] I am pretty they have a freee live steeam on their site [14:14] http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ yup [14:14] josephwdy: they do, [14:14] lowtekk: I win :D [14:14] but there's something to be said for getting out the bunny ears and pulling it in, saves me from firing up the HTPC [14:14] josephwdy: heh, no comment :) [14:15] I just said yes but stressed I'm a historian, not a pundit/financial guy [14:16] I think history will make it quite clear that Yahoo's final fatal mistake was not accepting the Microsoft buyout offer. [14:16] thats being pointed out on online news [14:16] Everything after that is just window dressing. [14:17] The hubris is amazing, on Yang's part. [14:17] Good morning (here) Maria. I've been interviewed by you folks before, [14:17] and found you fair and intelligent, so I'd be up for an interview. I [14:17] gigabytes of user content as they desperately slimmed down, failing to [14:17] must say, however, that 100% of my Yahoo! experience is as a data [14:17] preservation activist who has seen the company destroy untold [14:17] spin anything off. I don't know if you're looking for that perspective [14:17] or another aspect of statements I've made about Yahoo! over the years. [14:17] --- [14:17] So that's my response. [14:17] I figure I might as well give a media class too. [14:17] Here [14:18] I also sent e-mail to my best buddy, who lives up here - if this flies, he can come with me down to NYC for the interview, come back. [14:18] There's no Al Jazeera studio in NYC, realize. They'll have a freelancer show up at a studio and they'll put me in the studio. [14:19] Seems intelligent, and points out "I only care about the history" [14:19] sounds good [14:19] Last time, I was at... I think it was CNN [14:20] Or maybe CBS [14:20] They put me in the newsroom, set up a chair overlooking tons of desks and monitors [14:20] I think I remember it being CBS, if it was about teh cat [14:21] This was about Wikipedia's 10th anniversary [14:24] Oh, heh [14:24] January [14:24] Moot of 4chan was off camera, which made it funnier [14:24] We'd been hanging out, we dipped in for this thing [14:25] Bear in mind that last time, the time from walk in, go up elevator, prep interview, DO interview, unprep, use the can, out on street was 20 minutes. [14:25] heh [14:25] moots a rather chill fellow, we hung out in baltimore a while back [14:28] Because I was bored, I made an archiveteam subreddit . [14:28] http://www.reddit.com/r/Archiveteam [14:28] zomg, then we can start AT 2.0 [14:29] AT BBS. [14:33] Quassel has successfully tricked me into thinking I just parted 72 channels. [14:42] Oops, they specifically want financial angle. [14:42] Too bad for them [14:43] Sometimes, the best choice in being a presswhore is to say no. [15:01] Uploading TV Gamer magazine [15:02] Today's the day I get the video digitizer back up to full [15:22] ha ha [15:24] Some old co-worker friends me on facebook [15:25] I go "huh, who was that" [15:25] I friend him [15:25] Oh THAT fuck [15:25] unfriend [15:35] finally after a few hours got eyeos working [16:11] hrm [16:12] I think my computers all went off line about 10 minutes after I left home this morning [16:19] d'oh [16:22] Hm, it's funny how content I just 'stared' in google reader a month ago.. now is gone or have their pics deleted on the original site [16:23] welcome to the memory hole [16:23] Yeah, heh. [18:28] Computer Age - Issues #1-16, December 1979 to March 1981, British [18:28] Jason, I just checked my DVD collection, and I have these scan [18:28] collections if you need them: [18:28] Atari User - Issues #1-43, May 1985 - November 1988 (complete set), [18:28] general purpose magazine, similar to BYTE, 2.2 GB [18:29] British magazine of 8-bit and ST news, 1.7 GB [18:29] Atari Computing - Issues #1-16, September 1996-January 2000 (complete [18:29] set), British Atari ST user newsletter, 1.7 GB [18:29] AtariUser - Issues #1-16, May 1991-July 1992 (complete set), US Atari [18:29] user magazine, focused on ST and Portfolio, 384 MB [18:30] You just keep gettin' 'em, eh [18:48] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647959 [18:52] SketchCow: just saw you put olduse.net up at DefConf .. cool. Probably also explains why my shellinabox mysteriously crashed around then ... [19:00] heh [19:01] sketchcow'd [19:02] one man slashdot [19:23] if only sketch could add more hours in the day with which to consume all of his goodies with [19:34] SketchCow: ftp://ftp.whtech.com/magazines/ [19:41] oh that reminds me, there is some russian magazine community [19:41] forgot the url though [19:43] maybe linked from library genesis [20:36] well, more that DefCon people have been known to throw .. evil .. around [20:36] http://www.businessinsider.com/and-now-yahoo-has-put-itself-up-for-sale-2011-9 [20:38] http://techcrungh-ng.com/2013/02/31/archiveteam-buys-yahoo-just-for-the-old-geocities-drives [20:40] my link is legit [20:40] closure: lol [20:40] brb [20:41] 2013-02-31, February 31, only in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_31 [20:43] Looks like they are searching for a Delicious buyer. [20:44] Seriously. [20:51] obviously my link is false.. we'd also buy yahoo for their clown cars [20:52] \o/ [20:54] what may be the future of Flickr after the sale? [20:54] worst than now? lul [21:28] DFJustin: Thanks [21:38] my home network is still down :( [21:47] apparently jwz wasn't enamoured of archive.org's javascript pdf reader [21:47] http://www.jwz.org/blog/2011/09/today-in-computational-necromancy/ [21:56] yea [21:56] I don't think anybody at archive.org thinks it's an _ideal_ solution [21:57] but often all they have is scanned images of pages, so it works in the general case [21:57] it'll be interesting to see how hard it would be to use that new javascript-based pdf renderer instead [21:59] I love jwz [21:59] NOTHING makes him happy [21:59] NOTHING [21:59] I just posted on his entry [21:59] yea [21:59] good comment; very civil [22:02] Well, I DO love him. [22:05] I think you should be unsurprised that someone who speaks and works like I do would look to him as a fan. [22:06] He's so angry he writes SCRIPTS to SPEED UP THE SPITEFUL NOSE-CUTTING [22:07] heh [22:07] he's often right, even when he's cutting off his own nose [22:07] brb [22:21] Hey guys: does anyone know where I can find a list of Google Desktop version numbers? [22:21] alard: odd question [22:22] Why? I'm archiving desktop.google.com, on SketchCow's request, and I'm currently downloading the most recent version. [22:22] But it would be fun to get the previous versions as well. [22:22] Thanks for doing it, alard [22:22] Ah, wikipedia seems to have a list. [22:23] ah, you suspect that you can download the older versions by munging the url even though they don't link to them directly [22:27] Apparently it works for version 5.2 to 5.8. [22:28] I like the archive.org reader, mostly because pdf reading tools almost universally suck [22:31] the best one I've found for Linux is FoxitReader, but it still isn't 100% keyboard accessible [22:41] what the [22:41] michael hart died [22:41] http://www.gutenberg.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_S._Hart [22:42] i have the Project Gutenberg ISOs since long time, seeding [22:42] that guy started to type public domain works in 1971, 40 years ago [22:42] today, PG has more than 30k works [22:44] <3 [22:45] http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:The_CD_and_DVD_Project#Downloading_Via_BitTorrent [22:47] shit. [22:58] Sorry, forgot to mention in here [23:07] Question: I have a lot of media, both software and audio, that is on old disk and LP and other stuff like that, but is still under copyright. What's the best way to preserve this stuff? [23:08] sharing? [23:09] old post from 2007: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/4-terabyte-hard-disk.html [23:09] yeah, but you can run into copyright issues... [23:09] I mean *properly* *preserve* [23:10] said about 4tb hard drivers in 2011 and 1tb in laptops [23:10] http://pglaf.org/hart/ [23:10] well we have 1tb in laptops, and even 1.5tb 3-platter types [23:11] you can run into copyright issues by displaying for (x=1;;x++) { print x } in a public place [23:11] DUDE [23:11] * SketchCow looks around [23:11] there maybe 4tb hard drive that seagate will get out [23:11] * balrog no longer trusts seagate [23:11] after tha 1.5TB HDD fiasco [23:12] i use WD [23:12] WD and Hitachi, here [23:12] we really need 6tb dvd like devices [23:12] DVDs rot [23:12] i know [23:13] but never had any that rot on me for somereason [23:13] i have cds that are still working percertly even after 9 years [23:14] burn no higher then 4x i say [23:14] so do I [23:14] and I have spoiled ones too [23:15] base way to know what is bad or not is to add a md5sum file to cd/dvd [23:15] ehh CDs have error detection [23:16] md5sum file will have a better change of not going bad and can at least know what files are bad or not [23:16] ^
