04:34 🔗 bsmith094 arrith:
04:39 🔗 arrith bsmith094: ?
05:26 🔗 Coderjoe bsmith094: you can sync up a copy of the redis database by teling it to slaveto solitude.wegetsignal.org 6379
05:27 🔗 Coderjoe you can watch the output of the info command, watching for it to say it is done syncing. then you "slaveof no one" and you have your own copy
05:28 🔗 Coderjoe underscor: atidlebot's PRNG is broken
08:00 🔗 Coderjoe bsmith094: more specifically, you need to watch for "master_link_satus" in the output of the "info" command to change from down to up. once it is up, you can then "slaveof no one"
08:02 🔗 Coderjoe and then if you "scard stories" you should get 3658953
11:56 🔗 SketchCow Well, me and the french abandonware magazine guys are at odds with each other.
12:02 🔗 arrith SketchCow: any new developments?
12:04 🔗 SketchCow Well, the site leader came up with this arbitrary day of December 19 that he would get back to me officially.
12:04 🔗 SketchCow Somewhere in the last day or two, he opened the floor to members of the site on the forum to discuss it.
12:05 🔗 SketchCow Like any such discussion, there are thoughtful people and there are clueless wombats.
12:05 🔗 SketchCow Now, bear in mind, I have ALL the french issues. All.
12:05 🔗 SketchCow There is NO WAY they're not going on archive.org - they're going up there, just maybe not to the public.
12:05 🔗 SketchCow Like, the shit is in the archive. That's good.
12:06 🔗 SketchCow But the whole thing is kind of sad. Lot of misinformed people.
12:06 🔗 SketchCow Meanwhile, I've uploaded 6,000 albums up into archive.org from Jamendo, and added all the scans of 73 Magazine, etc.
12:06 🔗 SketchCow I.e. I've already shot well past what they represented.
12:06 🔗 arrith you could write an impassioned essay to the users of the site and get it well-translated into french
12:06 🔗 arrith or paragraph
12:06 🔗 SketchCow Well, I'm writing one in english.
12:07 🔗 SketchCow Do you speak french?
12:07 🔗 arrith ah
12:07 🔗 arrith i don't
12:07 🔗 arrith i know a guy who does but i don't know if his english is that good
12:08 🔗 SketchCow I have some folks. Your idea is excellent, and will encourage me to write a good reply, as it has to go through a person.
12:09 🔗 arrith sounds good :)
12:09 🔗 arrith if they're taking a vote and there's enough misinformed people then that won't work out too well, but if it's just the mods looking for input hm, that could go either way
12:10 🔗 SketchCow I am just about convinced that they will not go for it.
12:10 🔗 SketchCow I can't begin to indicate how much I hate the abandonware mindset in so many forms.
12:10 🔗 arrith preaching to the choir there ;/
12:11 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, but it makes it very hard to even consider the thing.
12:11 🔗 arrith one thing that happens a bunch is with software especially. an author deliberately letting a project die rather than trying to continue it in some open source form or something
12:11 🔗 SketchCow Now, to write a script that converts a .cbr or a .cbz to a _images.zip
12:11 🔗 SketchCow That at least will fix it.
12:11 🔗 arrith HMM
12:11 🔗 arrith cbz afaik is just a renamed zip
12:12 🔗 SketchCow And by fix it, I mean, I will fix my burning intense hatred this morning.
12:13 🔗 SketchCow Yes, CBZ is definitely just a zip, and .cbr is definitely just a .rar
12:13 🔗 SketchCow But I want to write a script that says "DO IT to this" and it will do a bunch of things.
12:13 🔗 arrith as in random.cbz becomes random_images.zip or 01_images.zip ?
12:13 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, and give me a chance to rename, etc.
12:13 🔗 SketchCow It's just smoothing things out for ingestion.
12:14 🔗 arrith wait, so both? which should be the default?
12:14 🔗 SketchCow Crime Must Pay 03.cbr crime_must_pay_the_penalty_038.cbz
12:14 🔗 SketchCow root@teamarchive-0:/3/TORRENTS/ace/Crime must pay# ls
12:14 🔗 SketchCow Crime Must Pay 10.cbr Crime_Must_Pay_the_Penalty_040__HP_.cbz
12:14 🔗 SketchCow Crime_Must_Pay_The_Penalty_005.cbr Crime_Must_Pay_the_Penalty_041__Ontology_.cbr
12:14 🔗 SketchCow Crime Must Pay the Penalty 018 (Ace - Feb 1951) (Team-DCP).cbr Crime Must Pay the Penalty! 045 (c2c) (ABPC) (Ace-1955).cbz
12:14 🔗 SketchCow Crime_Must_Pay_the_Penalty_024__1952_02.Ace___Warden_Dregs_.cbr Crime_Must_Pay_The_Penalty_046.cbr
12:14 🔗 SketchCow Crime_Must_Pay_The_Penalty_026.cbr Crime_Must_Pay_the_Penalty_36_ctc.cbz
12:14 🔗 SketchCow Crime_Must_Pay_The_Penalty_027_Phabox.cbr
12:14 🔗 SketchCow See, here's an example where it's just a big fucking mess.
12:14 🔗 SketchCow This was all in a torrent.
12:14 🔗 arrith ah that's fun
12:14 🔗 SketchCow Well, I am working to have tools for myself that let me ingest at a fast rate.
12:15 🔗 SketchCow I have scripts that will inject items right into archive.org.
12:15 🔗 SketchCow Right now, I have 12 windows open (!) doing NOTHING but slamming Jamendo albums into archive.
12:17 🔗 arrith hmm fuzzy rename. i've actually made the most basic oneliners to handle subtitles for shows. all the shows go to E01, E02, etc. then each subtitle file gets matched based on the number.
12:17 🔗 SketchCow Right.
12:17 🔗 arrith stuff like "Crime_Must_Pay_the_Penalty_024__1952_02.Ace___Warden_Dregs_.cbr" makes going off assumed numbers in the filename touugh
12:18 🔗 SketchCow I think what pissed me off is that these abandonware guys are all "woah, should we let this bit of whippersnappers come in and take our french literature" and "What about all our hard work."
12:18 🔗 SketchCow archive.org has TEN CENTERS open RIGHT NOW doing NOTHING but scanning in books, one every 90 seconds.
12:18 🔗 SketchCow Like, RIGHT NOW.
12:18 🔗 SketchCow I'd like to talk to an archive team member about writing a cool realtime tracker that shows the books coming online.
12:19 🔗 arrith like they care more about the status/recognition than just getting the job done
12:19 🔗 SketchCow Partly to bring attention to this.
12:19 🔗 arrith that'd be neat
12:19 🔗 arrith have a big red "on hold due to political issues"
12:20 🔗 SketchCow Well, not THIS in terms of the abandonware bullshit. THIS in terms of "archive.org is bringing millions of books online for free"
12:20 🔗 arrith oh. yeah. could hook up stuff like twitter too
12:20 🔗 arrith live ticker of the progress
12:20 🔗 arrith and have those scrolling ones in various offices to display the feed, all fancylike
12:21 🔗 SketchCow Right.
12:23 🔗 SketchCow Let me find the inspiration.
12:24 🔗 SketchCow http://www.panic.com/blog/2010/03/the-panic-status-board/
12:26 🔗 arrith ahh yeah. that's pretty well designed
12:34 🔗 dnova woah
12:34 🔗 dnova one of my big splinder profiles finished
12:34 🔗 dnova 1,699mb!
12:34 🔗 dnova it was over 15gb uncompressed
12:35 🔗 dnova I have 1 left now
12:37 🔗 arrith that's some good compression
12:37 🔗 arrith dnova: 7z?
12:37 🔗 dnova gzip
12:38 🔗 dnova my last profile is currently 24.2gb and still coming
12:38 🔗 dnova uncompressed
12:38 🔗 arrith ah wow
12:39 🔗 dnova uploading the 1699mb one to batcave now.
12:39 🔗 dnova arrith: I think they have *huge* blogs, I'm not really sure what the deal is
12:39 🔗 dnova i.e., mostly text
12:39 🔗 arrith there's definitely quite a bit of non-textual stuff in there
12:39 🔗 arrith hmm
12:39 🔗 dnova yeah but
12:39 🔗 dnova for that compression ratio
12:40 🔗 dnova a lot of it has got to be text
12:41 🔗 arrith oh yeah definitely
12:41 🔗 arrith i just like it when an arbitrarily large amount of stuff gets down to a few hundred megs
12:41 🔗 arrith that's still very good
12:42 🔗 dnova I hope the last one finishes very soon
12:45 🔗 arrith fingers crossed
12:46 🔗 dnova >5mbytes/sec to the batcave
13:22 🔗 SketchCow crime_must_pay_the_penalty_038_images.zip crime_must_pay_the_penalty_27_images.zip
13:22 🔗 SketchCow crime_must_pay_the_penalty_03_images.zip crime_must_pay_the_penalty_36_images.zip
13:22 🔗 SketchCow crime_must_pay_the_penalty_05_images.zip crime_must_pay_the_penalty_40_images.zip

13:22 🔗 SketchCow crime_must_pay_the_penalty_24_1952_02_images.zip crime_must_pay_the_penalty_46_images.zip
13:22 🔗 SketchCow crime_must_pay_the_penalty_26_images.zip
13:22 🔗 SketchCow Tah dah.
13:28 🔗 arrith gj
13:28 🔗 arrith SketchCow: was that a one off thing or did you script it?
13:32 🔗 SketchCow I spent some time with a script.
13:32 🔗 SketchCow It's not perfect yet but it will now do a lot of the scuttle.
13:35 🔗 arrith that's good
13:35 🔗 arrith i'm curious what you meant by the script giving you an option to rename. as in what would trigger it to stop and ask that?
14:00 🔗 alard SketchCow: "a cool realtime tracker that shows the books coming online." sounds like fun.
14:00 🔗 SketchCow Want in?
14:00 🔗 alard Yes.
14:00 🔗 SketchCow I can provide a place for you to play.
14:20 🔗 Nemo_bis SketchCow, we'd like to put up some OCR servers with ABBYY software for wikimedians, but there's some confusion about terms and rates: do you know who could we ask in the IA to know what sort of contract they have with ABBYY?
14:21 🔗 SketchCow info@archive.org - say that I sent you.
14:22 🔗 Nemo_bis I've never understood how that address works; queues seem to work, though.
14:22 🔗 SketchCow How it works?
14:23 🔗 SketchCow It's a group mailbox that goes to jeff and a few others.
14:23 🔗 Nemo_bis oh
14:23 🔗 Nemo_bis Last time I asked a non-technical question I didn't get any reply.
14:25 🔗 Coderjoe when i did, i didn't get a reply, but the issue was taken care of
14:33 🔗 SketchCow I'm saying invoking my name will get it geared quicker.
15:05 🔗 SketchCow http://www.archive.org/details/crime-must-pay-ace
15:05 🔗 SketchCow The comics got in!
15:08 🔗 Nemo_bis ok, thanks SketchCow
15:13 🔗 DFJustin archive.org has "Comic Book ZIP" on its list of formats, dunno if it works properly though
15:16 🔗 DFJustin also there is this http://www.archive.org/details/webcomicuniverse
15:18 🔗 SketchCow Yes, my work is joining that.
15:19 🔗 SketchCow I may just start pumping them right in.
15:22 🔗 db48x so basically someone chants "SketchCow! SketchCow! SketchCow!" and you upload a magazine
15:32 🔗 SketchCow Somewhat
15:44 🔗 SketchCow OK, pumping the comics in now, they're all going in ace-comics
15:44 🔗 SketchCow I'll probably move dotty up there too.
16:02 🔗 SketchCow Also, blasting this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI96sEzusMA

18:50 🔗 perfinion is there an easy way to take that tarball and put it up on my server so i can use while that happens?

19:09 🔗 Schbirid i like aarddict
19:11 🔗 DFJustin see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download#Dynamic_HTML_generation_from_a_local_XML_database_dump
