04:03 🔗 dnova I have no idea
04:03 🔗 dnova in case one of us knows s4bu we can warn him

12:08 🔗 voicem3 AnonymousSabu S4BU on #chat #2600 #hackers - Efnet Opers Are Clearly Allowing Him To Be Here By Not Setting A Kline On Phalse.2600.com
19:01 🔗 SketchCow OK, back.
19:01 🔗 SketchCow That's getting boring.
19:03 🔗 sundown status update on my whois compilation: with the help of a healthy supply of proxies, im downloading around 10 whois responses a second
19:04 🔗 sundown i have 1.5m .coms so far
19:07 🔗 Coderjoe any plans on pulling arin/apnic/ripe/etc?
19:11 🔗 sundown i plan to send a request to arin
19:11 🔗 sundown https://www.arin.net/resources/request/bulkwhois.html
19:12 🔗 sundown ripe offers the pertinent data for free via ftp
19:24 🔗 SketchCow Good deal, sundown.
19:33 🔗 SketchCow The 80 Microcomputing issues are so well scanned - they're amazing.
19:33 🔗 SketchCow I'm sure he destroyed the copies to do them.
19:42 🔗 josephwdy Is it right to destroy something to have a copy forever?
19:43 🔗 Xamayon Its not so much destroying as it is debinding, so they may no longer be perfect or easily holdable, but the pages are still intact.
19:44 🔗 Xamayon In some cases books and magazines can be reassembled too (depending on how well they came apart and the type of binding used)
19:53 🔗 chronomex re: the spam, i don't think s4bu has an account on phalse.
19:54 🔗 chronomex Xamayon: though the reassembly isnt as good as the orignal usually
19:54 🔗 chronomex but from a preserving-paper-forever view, staples and other metal are the enemy
19:54 🔗 Xamayon yeah, its usually pretty easy to tell
19:55 🔗 chronomex staples rust, discoloring paper and altering it chemically too
19:56 🔗 Coderjoe i've unbent staples before to remove centerfolds for scanning, and then put it right back when done
19:56 🔗 Xamayon Some glue bound books can be taken apart and put back together almost perfectly using heat and a press/vice type thing
19:56 🔗 chronomex right
19:56 🔗 Xamayon the pages usually feel a bit loose after that though, and turn much easier
19:56 🔗 chronomex I have a friend who worked in the local National Archives facility, he basically spent the whole time then removing staples
19:57 🔗 SketchCow Tjere
19:57 🔗 SketchCow There's a big debate.
19:57 🔗 chronomex I'm sure you've heard a lot of it
19:58 🔗 bsmith093 speaking of binding, does anyone here know of a place that will rebind a paperback into a hardcover, because this particular book is 800 pages and really should never have had a paperback version in the first place, (godel escher bach, egb)
19:58 🔗 SketchCow Do a search for book binding
19:58 🔗 chronomex bsmith093: was it ever published in hardcover? I've actually only seen softcover instances of that book
19:59 🔗 bsmith093 is there a huge copyright issue, or is it just a repair issue
19:59 🔗 chronomex no copyright issue unless you copy
20:00 🔗 bsmith093 chronomex: im not sure, but i got my copy from, a high school teacher who was retiring, and the damn thing fell apart halfway through reading it.
20:02 🔗 bsmith093 amazon says no, it wasnt.
20:05 🔗 primus102 SketchCow: will you upload complete interview with Tom Jennings to archive.org? He seems fascinating person and I'd really enjoy to see the whole interview.
20:08 🔗 SketchCow Yes, that's in the plan
20:09 🔗 primus102 Great, thank you.
20:37 🔗 alard SketchCow: Have you had time to look at the JSTOR example?
22:21 🔗 SketchCow No, not even a little. Let me get on that.
22:21 🔗 SketchCow So, I have a hilarious idea.
22:21 🔗 SketchCow I mean, pretty f'in hilarious.
22:21 🔗 SketchCow A real stick in the fuckin' eye for JSTOR
22:21 🔗 SketchCow On board?
22:27 🔗 chronomex this sounds like it could be fun
22:31 🔗 SketchCow Here's the problem.
22:32 🔗 SketchCow JSTOR has made a violation of terms of service to use a crawler or script to download.
22:33 🔗 chronomex I saw
22:39 🔗 * ersi wants to know about the potential stick in the eye for JSTOR
22:39 🔗 * ersi bounces
22:39 🔗 closure so, something like PACER but with a list of articles for users to manually view?
22:40 🔗 chronomex maybe we could load them in tiny iframes, a zillion to a page
22:40 🔗 chronomex "here load this page with your browser"
22:41 🔗 closure er, like the thing used to liberate cases from PACER that is
22:41 🔗 chronomex yes, like that
22:41 🔗 closure RECAP is what I meant
22:42 🔗 chronomex right
23:18 🔗 SketchCow Sorry, was dealing with kids.
23:18 🔗 SketchCow I'm doing babysitting.
23:18 🔗 SketchCow BEST BABYSITTER EVER
23:18 🔗 SketchCow OK, so here's my idea
23:18 🔗 SketchCow Archive Team page.
23:19 🔗 SketchCow You go to it, and click a button, and then get the stor terms of service, and then it downloads a random paper from a list.
23:19 🔗 closure yeps
23:19 🔗 SketchCow And people can click from that all
23:21 🔗 chronomex how many papers are we talking
23:21 🔗 closure how do they upload it back to us?
23:29 🔗 SketchCow I'm trying to figure this out.
23:29 🔗 SketchCow http://www.jstor.org/page/info/about/policies/terms.jsp
23:30 🔗 SketchCow (c) undertake any activity such as computer programs that automatically download or export Content, commonly known as web robots, spiders, crawlers,
23:30 🔗 SketchCow wanderers or accelerators that may interfere with, disrupt or otherwise burden the JSTOR server(s) or any third-party server(s) being used or accessed in connection
23:30 🔗 SketchCow with JSTOR; or
23:30 🔗 SketchCow (d) make any use, display, performance, reproduction, or distribution that exceeds or violates these Terms and Conditions of Service and the Content-Specific
23:30 🔗 SketchCow Terms and Conditions of Use.
23:40 🔗 db48x http://about.jstor.org/terms-and-conditions-for-use, section 2.3.f specifically forbids creating a repository of material from JSTOR
23:45 🔗 chronomex I seem to recall a court ruling that terms and conditions are not binding
23:47 🔗 DFJustin if it's the one I'm thinking of I believe it was that violating the conditions doesn't constitute unauthorized use of a computer (=criminal hacking) but there would probably still be a civil cause of action
23:48 🔗 DFJustin https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/United_States_v._Lori_Drew
23:51 🔗 chronomex since when has archiveteam given a fuck about t&cs?
23:54 🔗 dashcloud let's say somehow we manage to get a large set of them- where would they be hosted? I don't think archive.org can hold any of them except the public domain ones
23:54 🔗 dashcloud unless someone plans to host them indefinitely, they'd have to go on piratebay or somewhere similar
23:55 🔗 DFJustin the goal was to get the PD ones
23:55 🔗 dashcloud okay
23:57 🔗 SketchCow archive.org will host the PD ones.
23:57 🔗 SketchCow That's what I mean.
23:57 🔗 SketchCow Download all the freedome
23:57 🔗 SketchCow I agree, we COULD just go get it.
23:57 🔗 SketchCow And probably be fine.
23:57 🔗 SketchCow But Archive Team is activist, and turning it all into a hilarious game would be great.
23:58 🔗 SketchCow Like "Congratulations! You just freed THE PROCEEDINGS OF H. PUNTER GALTERFAST (1832)
23:58 🔗 SketchCow "
23:58 🔗 db48x :)
23:58 🔗 SketchCow I can arrange a one-off server for this
23:58 🔗 SketchCow And we can just do it
23:58 🔗 SketchCow If someone wants to jam a little CGI
