[00:26] ^ [01:01] gamepro is empty [01:01] we cleaned them out SketchCow [01:01] everything is at the museum, being catologed [01:02] \o/ [01:02] Good news! [01:02] yes indeed [01:05] finally we;ll be able to heat our cold building [01:05] grab the matches [01:37] does that cleaning out include backissues? [01:45] She's gone [06:56] urgh [06:56] one of my HDs just made some funky noises [07:09] oh well. [07:11] when SketchCow comes back, i have the poenews data, ill be afk for about 12hrs or so [07:12] how big is it? [07:12] is it complete? [07:14] 56,221 items, totalling 509.3 MB and, probably, yes [07:15] tar.gz that [07:15] folder warc and cdx tar.gz coming right up [07:16] I mean, you can go to bed, man [07:16] it can wait 12 hours :) [07:17] ok this could take a while, so im off to bed [07:17] g'night [07:17] wow this hard drive is definitely unhappy [07:18] probably time to smash it [07:25] what the [07:25] another drive failure? [07:25] really?? [07:26] dnova: your hard drive died? [07:26] it appears that 2 of them are dead or dying [07:27] that sucks [07:27] you need to get hard drives and there is a hard drive shortage [07:27] I don't have an imminent need to replace these particular 2 [07:28] i'm getting small stuff and burn it to dvd [07:28] i have (i think) the complete archive of crankgeeks [07:31] cgipod-135925-12-10-2008.mp4 [07:31] cgipod-138108-01-01-2009.mp4 [07:32] these are episode 146 and 148 of crankgeeks [07:32] i'm trying to figure out the diff so i can get episode 147 maybe [07:33] if it exist [07:33] hmm [07:33] the 2nd drive appears to be readable/fine but its partition table is fucked [07:33] problem is i have no date to go on [07:34] I need to run badblocks on this sumbidge [07:38] 2 hard drive failures at once, haha [07:42] just a pain in the ass, thankfully (no data lost or in danger) [07:49] just replace them with an equivalent capacity in SSDs [07:49] problem solved [12:25] yipdw: haha [12:26] if you're buying :) [14:09] looks like at least one of the two drives is ok [14:09] the ntfs mft was for some reason completely fubar [14:09] running badblocks on it now. [14:21] BEST MORNING EVER [14:21] ehhh. [14:22] No, see, here's what's happening. [14:22] I'm adding thousands of issues of French computer magazines, OK? [14:22] oui, d'accord [14:22] So, a lot of them came from one abandonware site. [14:24] Guess what.... they're FURIOUS [14:24] er.. furious that you copied the stuff they copied? [14:24] Yes, that exactly. [14:24] That EXACTLY. [14:24] Oh, it is glorious. [14:24] So I'm watching as someone is adding a "review" to every single magazine issue. [14:25] And the review is in angry, angry french. [14:25] haha [14:25] do they have ads on their site? [14:25] And it says "This has come from abandonware-magazines.fr (or whatever) and you have stolen it. Please remove it." [14:25] gotta get those ad impressions [14:28] They're not putting in ads. [14:29] then what is the problem [14:29] Nothing. [14:30] well, yeah, but what problem do THEY perceive? [14:30] There's a guy who runs the site, named Fred. [14:30] He has all the cute "just doing this for the good of humanity" thing. [14:30] I am not convinced the person doing these reviews is Fred. [14:31] Which means someone is trying to "help". [14:31] It's no big deal, just sad someone's spending a lot of time doing copy-paste angry reviews. [14:31] Most people would write a letter. [14:34] I guess this person intends to write a thousand. [14:34] Whatever french of aspberger's is. [14:34] how quickly can you delete them [14:34] l'aspergers [14:36] Found it. http://forum.abandonware.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3610&p=20648&hilit=archive.org#p20648 [14:39] Just wrote Fred. [14:43] There's no end to the amount of stupid people [14:44] His concern is lack of credit. [14:44] Then he found out I kept the textfile inside each and every .zip with full credit. [14:44] His concern then went to lack of prominent credit. [14:45] Obviously, I'll write a quick routine to go through all of the current and future issues and ensure a default description of "Digitization work by abandonware-magazines.org" or some such. [14:45] I am sure that it is absolutely trivial to say "delete every review by this one account." [14:45] So we're talking a few hours of silliness. [14:46] should be an easy database query [14:46] not that I ever want to muck about with a production system with raw SQL [14:46] blurgh [14:48] Oh, no, I am SURE there are moderation tools. This can't be the first time someone has spammed reviews. [14:49] There's actually some nice tools internally. [14:49] Can do a single operation to massive swaths of archive.org materials, for example. [14:49] Like, find every uploaded issue of "Highlights" and re-derive formats. [14:49] neat, that's pretty danged mature [14:49] Well, they had to, so many million accounts? [14:50] true [14:50] I dunno, a lot of people think only one step. "Ok, someone spammed feature X. I'll make a mod tool to just delete it in this fashion, no other - until need be" [14:51] Well, the manager software has all sorts of things that needed to be done, like adding catalog numbers or adding an additional metadata pair. [14:51] neat none the less [14:51] "All these issues were edited by Anna Wintour" [14:52] I registered for the forum, waiting for my key. [14:52] So I can pop in there and go "What's all this then harumph" and readjust my monocle. [14:53] "One of your men seems to have gone off the plantation so to speak, haw haw. Perhaps you should reel him in haw haw. (Sucks on pipe)". [14:54] Oh, look at this poor person go. [14:54] I just have no way to communicate with them. [14:54] start spamming his forum with "I've imported your stuff onto Internet Archive!! " [14:54] "I've added a mirror!!!!" [14:54] :) [14:56] www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAigW0Sa1yo [14:57] I have found an IA collection dedicated to Spanish Revolution, finally. It is abandoned, I will try to revert that http://www.archive.org/details/centrodedocumentacionciudadana [15:10] Anyway, best day ever [15:12] SketchCow: I managed to track down a couple of japanese magazine pdfs, mind throwing them in computer-magazine-rack or wherever [15:12] http://www.archive.org/details/mycom-basic-magazine-1988-04 http://www.archive.org/details/msx-fan-magazine-1992-12 [15:14] for some reason this stuff is way scarcer than english/french/etc [15:14] I'd love that. [15:18] Both are now in the rack. [15:18] It's amazing how few there are, yes, but give us time, man! [15:18] I mean, like I said, I'm hardly at the point of even scanning in original material yet. [15:18] Once THAT happens... hoo boy [15:23] Anyway, just posted to the guy's forum. [15:23] btw here's some more spanish mags http://www.konamito.com/publicaciones-msx/ [15:24] It's 4pm in France, should get a response soon. [15:24] Anyway, I will need to get back to REAL work, which includes shoving all the rest of the issues of french magazines up, by the way. :) [15:25] Maybe I'll just finish that off today. [15:27] Batcave is loaded with stuff that can go into archive.org. [15:28] bsmith093: I'll take that copy of poe-news via an rsync if you'd like. [15:28] Everything2 got their dupe of it off of archive.org, by the way [15:28] Expected no less. [15:28] It's stored and dark now, though, so no worries. [15:29] Now, remember, even I know when to be diplomatic [15:30] And not mention that the program I wrote to absorb all the magazines out of their site is named "surrender" [15:30] LOL [15:42] lol! [16:04] ahaha [16:25] there is need for a url change on geocites article [16:25] http://blog.greenpirate.org/bittorrent-as-preservation-of-culture/ [16:26] the old illunatic.greenpiarte.org doesn't work [17:24] wat http://www.anyhub.net/ [17:24] alard: http://www.anyhub.net/ WAT [18:00] one busy beaver [18:00] Results: 1 through 50 of 114 (0.001 secs) [18:00] You searched for: reviewer:"canelle" [19:03] SketchCow: im back and ready for tthe rsync [19:23] where do i send it [19:26] bsmith093: which project? [19:27] the poenews dump for SketchCow [19:28] I'm sure when he gets back he will have a slot on the batcave for you [19:28] http://www.nbii.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=236&mode=2&cached=true [19:28] NBII.GOV is being shut down for January 15. [19:28] Top priority. [19:34] yikes [19:35] let me put this mobile me stuff on the back burner [19:35] actually, let me get lunch first ;-) [19:36] SketchCow: can i get an rsync slot its ~250mb [19:38] grabbing nbii.gov [19:42] WAIT [19:42] Do NOT grab nbii.gov, bsmith093 [19:42] righ o then thats [19:42] finr [19:44] btw, how are you handling these random announcemnts, wget, or something smarter? [19:47] ok, wow, i just checked what nbii actually is, and , yeah you can take that, it looks like its probably gigantic [19:50] It is. [19:50] It needs coordination, likely warc and wget. [20:05] http://www.gsc-game.com/ this company is reported to be shutting down so if you're itching for a less gigantic site grab it might be worth a go [20:08] you'd think the USGS, of all entities, would be receptive to the idea of sending a copy of one of their websites to an archive [20:09] yeah definitely seems worth a go on the diplomatic side but I can easily see red tape holding that up so I would download the shit out of it in the meantime [20:18] yipdw: except that the USGS usually charges money for retrieving bulk data [20:18] 1. Power cycle the game. [20:18] 2. Allow the demo to run through 11 times. [20:18] 3. On the 12th game demo, insert a quarter at the moment that Mr. Do! eats the center prize. [20:18] Here is how to do it: [20:18] 4. Start a game. [20:18] 5. Loosen the first apple on the bottom right side. [20:18] 6. If everything is done correctly, there will be a diamond when it drops, every time. [20:39] EVERY TIME [20:42] oh man [20:43] I need to find a copy of the atari 520st speech synthesizer 2.0 and dig out my atari from storage (and pray it still works) [21:06] well that was awesome [21:07] mess touched my nvidia drivers in a way they didn't like, and they ran off to tell sonic [21:08] SketchCow: rsync for the poenews ready? [21:08] yes [21:08] you have an rsync slot [21:09] where? [21:10] check your private messages [21:10] ok i saw the pm, sending [21:22] I love problems that solve themselves. [21:25] I used to, but now that I'm a Software Tester - I don't [21:25] It just means they'll come back later [21:44] mess even bluescreens the most recent drivers \o/ [21:55] sent to batcave in the poenews directory, its in the targx there [21:57] yipdw: anything new for ffnet, or are you focusing on the govt archive thats closing down [22:02] bsmith093: right now I'm doing what I get paid to do [22:03] as far as the fanfiction.net crawler goes, though, I did rework it to be more tolerant of network failures, as well as respecting fanfiction.net's Last-Modified and Cache-Control headers [22:03] well good for you, the econony thanks you :) [22:09] I think fanfiction.net's Last-Modified headers are kinda fucked [23:33] bsmith093: FYI, the code in that gist for the ff story discovery thing is up to date [23:33] in order to run it, you'll need a Redis instance [23:34] I recommend removing the Linux Firefox user_agent_alias bit [23:34] because (1) it's not necessary and (2) it's dishonest [23:35] I'm running the discovery thing right now [23:35] although at a pretty slow pace [23:35] I'll let you know what it comes up with; alternatively, just replicate my Redis server's state or something
