00:49 🔗 dnova sad about emulator-zone
00:50 🔗 balrog atari are assholes
00:51 🔗 balrog well, "Atari"
00:52 🔗 dnova "Atari" indeed.
00:55 🔗 godane i think i can burn 4.6 Gbyte to dvd
00:55 🔗 godane normally its 4.4GB
00:56 🔗 godane i have a md5sum file so i can check if everything is there on disc after burning
00:56 🔗 dnova I can burn like
00:56 🔗 dnova I dunno 20gb to a dvd
00:56 🔗 dnova if it is highly compressible data and I have enough time for bzip
00:57 🔗 godane i'm doing video
00:57 🔗 dnova so just overburning?
00:57 🔗 chronomex dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1M | lzop | gzip | gzip
00:57 🔗 chronomex 1 terabyte => few hundred kbyte
00:57 🔗 dnova hehe
00:57 🔗 PatC lol
00:57 🔗 godane i'm using recorder
00:58 🔗 godane a pygtk front end for command line tools
00:58 🔗 PatC chronomex, I assume your joking
00:58 🔗 chronomex it's 100% true
00:58 🔗 chronomex why would I make this up?
00:58 🔗 PatC i'm pretty sure /dev/zero = 0 <_<
00:59 🔗 chronomex yeah?
00:59 🔗 chronomex try it
00:59 🔗 chronomex I can put a terabyte of data on a floppy disk!
00:59 🔗 dnova that's hilarious
01:01 🔗 dnova I remember fake compressions programs on bbses in the 90s
01:02 🔗 dnova any amount of data down to 50 bytes!!!!
01:03 🔗 godane burning 40-53 of systm
01:04 🔗 godane hd version
01:05 🔗 Coderjoe bzip2 would do really well on large quantities of nulls, but only because of a historical mistake
01:05 🔗 balrog oh?
01:05 🔗 Coderjoe the first stage is an RLE compressor
01:06 🔗 Coderjoe can take 256 of the same byte down to 5 bytes
01:06 🔗 Coderjoe and the 900k buffer is after that RLE
01:06 🔗 Famicoman reminds me of those fake hard drives that write in continuous mode
01:07 🔗 chronomex well there's a milestone. I hit 1000 tasks on archive.org
01:07 🔗 PatC lol Famicoman
01:08 🔗 dnova I've never seen that techique on mechanical hard drives, but usb flash drives and flash memory cards yes
01:09 🔗 dnova ebay is littered with them
01:27 🔗 godane i'm only getting the large version of systm at and after episode 66
01:59 🔗 BlueMax Bloody Atari
03:03 🔗 dashcloud not sure how many of you follow Carl Malamud, but he's got an interesting petition up here: https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/start-national-effort-digitize-all-public-government-info/15vthgVB
06:19 🔗 soultcer SketchCow: I don't know if you already know, but your blog's RSS/atom feeds are broken again :-/
06:31 🔗 soultcer (Or is the 403 forbidden for certain user-agents deliberately there to stop spammers?)
16:10 🔗 Coderjoe "There are no more posts to show right now."
16:10 🔗 Coderjoe yes, because nothing exists before 6:30pm tuesday
18:18 🔗 gui77 hey
18:19 🔗 gui77 if i've only got, say 100gb of disk space and an ok home connection (without a data cap), can i still be useful?
18:19 🔗 gui77 i do have a fairly powerful computer which i leave on 24/7, so i can compress stuff before upping
18:20 🔗 chronomex yes!
18:22 🔗 gui77 great :D
18:22 🔗 gui77 i'm curious about one thing though
18:23 🔗 gui77 typically volunteers downloads stuff, and then re-upload it to some server. why not just have the server do all the downloading? is it to have the data backed up sooner/for redundancy or something of the sort?
18:23 🔗 gui77 or so sites don't block that server for too much access?
18:24 🔗 dnova sometimes the big iron helps directly.
18:25 🔗 dnova but there are lots of advantages (and some disadvantages) to making a huge distributed effort.
18:28 🔗 gui77 oki
18:28 🔗 gui77 i'm going to try and get something for mobilme setup as it seems splinder is done already :)
18:29 🔗 Coderjoe you do have a non-windows OS on that system, right?
18:29 🔗 gui77 yeah
18:29 🔗 gui77 i have an ubuntu-based linux distro
18:29 🔗 Coderjoe (windows unfortunately has some stupid filesystem limitations)
18:29 🔗 Coderjoe ok
18:39 🔗 Schbirid "(I/O Error: None: None)" <3
19:10 🔗 SketchCow Poor blog.
19:10 🔗 SketchCow I should write that detector of mine.
19:11 🔗 chronomex broken blog detector?
19:13 🔗 SketchCow Yeah
19:13 🔗 SketchCow I should do a few things with the blog, really.
19:13 🔗 SketchCow To shore that up.
19:13 🔗 SketchCow But my Jamendo nightmare is nearly over.
19:13 🔗 SketchCow The load-in of 55,000+ albums.
19:14 🔗 SketchCow 16010 pts/26 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh ./whoopdedo [088897] Fallback - Bad Signal -- Jamendo - MP3 - 2011.04.08 [www.jamendo.com].zip

19:14 🔗 SketchCow See, four threads.
19:14 🔗 SketchCow As they each hit 0XX999, they're done.
19:14 🔗 chronomex I see.
19:15 🔗 SketchCow Then I'll have them up to 101999.
19:15 🔗 SketchCow 102XXX now exists, but it's not full yet.
19:15 🔗 SketchCow When it is, I can run a script.
19:17 🔗 Schbirid remember to back fill older IDs
19:17 🔗 Schbirid any plans to handle updates? artists sometimes change their albums
19:19 🔗 SketchCow All the older IDs should be there.
19:19 🔗 SketchCow Any that are around.
19:20 🔗 SketchCow No, I doubt I will handle updates at all - it's a snapshot. Unless there's an efficient way to write a script to do that work.
19:20 🔗 SketchCow Just like there was a way to write a script to do the initial check.
19:20 🔗 Schbirid older IDs might not yet be published publically
19:20 🔗 Schbirid ah ok
19:20 🔗 gui77 what filesystem do you guys recommend that i use for a aprtition that'll only be used for these kinds ofprojects? ext2, ext3, ext4?
19:20 🔗 SketchCow Older IDs? I have IDs in there from 2008 and 2009. They couldn't possibly still be waiting, could they?
19:21 🔗 SketchCow gui77: ext2 or thereabouts
19:21 🔗 Schbirid SketchCow: you never know. but people definitely change their albums, less than 1% of them, but still
19:23 🔗 SketchCow Edge cases are always welcome.
19:23 🔗 SketchCow I'm going to write something to step through what's on there and make sure everything's kosher, of course.
19:23 🔗 SketchCow But that's different.
19:23 🔗 SketchCow Depends on how crazy we want to go.
19:25 🔗 SketchCow > x-archive-meta-title:Tokks Voitto - Oblivious to assisting mankind addicted to breed the starving hunter writing his reason on a blood sheet
19:25 🔗 SketchCow I have a weird job.
19:26 🔗 Schbirid :)
19:28 🔗 SketchCow I'm almost done with it, that's what matters.
19:28 🔗 SketchCow It was 1.8 terabytes of data.
19:30 🔗 SketchCow I'm down to the last, like, 15g
19:36 🔗 gui77 after running get-wget-warc, is it already compiled or do i still need to com'pile it?
19:36 🔗 gui77 *compile
19:38 🔗 gui77 nevermind, i did it
19:41 🔗 SketchCow Archive Team helps those who help themselves
19:43 🔗 SketchCow OK, I'm actually going to slam those last 300 albums in, just to be complete.
19:51 🔗 gui77 i'm running like 7 instances and the speed seems to go between very little (200 kB/s) to maxing out my pipe. this is normal, right? any tips? :)
19:52 🔗 gui77 oh and what happens if/when it runs out of space? does it just quit gracefully?
19:54 🔗 gui77 oh and is there a way of running multiple instances quickly/easily, without having open up a term for each?
19:54 🔗 gui77 sorry for all teh questions hehe :/
19:55 🔗 chronomex gui77: ext4 or jfs is what I use normally.
19:55 🔗 gui77 chronomex: yeah i decided with ext4 :)
19:55 🔗 chronomex jfs, though a bit slow, is stable as bedrock
19:56 🔗 gui77 i'm using ext4 for the rest of my partitions so i might as well use it for this one, haven't had an issue yet
19:56 🔗 PatC anyone know when 28c3 ends?
20:00 🔗 Schbirid tomorrow
20:00 🔗 Schbirid ~15 hours
20:01 🔗 SketchCow Yeah
20:01 🔗 SketchCow They're putting up preliminary cuts of the talks, which is also amazing.
20:01 🔗 Schbirid http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/events/4814.en.html is in 45 minutes, should be great
20:02 🔗 Schbirid "Behind the scenes of a C64 demo"
20:02 🔗 SketchCow Yes, I tweeted about that.
20:02 🔗 SketchCow Obviously it's relevant to my interests.
20:10 🔗 DarkStar2 ah, the good old C64 demoscene days. When you couldn't just throw polygons at the hardware and have a few billion transistors do the maths for you... You know you're old when you remember what DYCP, DYPP, FLI, etc. mean :-D
20:11 🔗 Schbirid get your rocking chair off my lawn, grampa
20:11 🔗 PatC SketchCow, 28c3 will be on archive.org then?
20:11 🔗 Schbirid sure
20:14 🔗 SketchCow A lot is going to be on archive.org.
20:14 🔗 SketchCow But they also have their stuff up very well.
20:15 🔗 SketchCow A project for next year is pulling in every conference that makes its videos available, ever.
20:15 🔗 SketchCow Won't that be exciting.
20:15 🔗 Schbirid <3
20:15 🔗 Schbirid and audio recordings too i hope
20:15 🔗 Schbirid the HOPE conferences only have that iirc
20:26 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, everything.
20:26 🔗 SketchCow Every. Thing.
20:26 🔗 SketchCow http://www.archive.org/details/hackercons is the first test run-through.
20:26 🔗 SketchCow It'll be many more soon.
20:27 🔗 chronomex I'll see if I can get you the full quuality HOPE archives
20:27 🔗 gui77 SketchCow: is it possible to start uploading stuff while still downloading more?
20:29 🔗 gui77 what do i do if one of the instances presents an error? Running wget --mirror (at least 1064 files)... ERROR (4).
20:29 🔗 SketchCow I need more detail gui. But first, a VERY fast food run so I can watch the demo
20:30 🔗 gui77 cool feel free, /query me whenever you have time :)
20:32 🔗 PatC chronomex, which HOPE archives?
20:32 🔗 PatC chronomex, if it's 2010 I have it too
20:33 🔗 PatC and I have the pcap file
20:40 🔗 chronomex all of em
20:40 🔗 chronomex stack of dvds a foot high
20:42 🔗 Schbirid "Behind the scenes of a C64 demo" starting right now, "Saal 3". streaming URLs: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MfvqjZvc
20:42 🔗 Schbirid err "Room3" ;)
20:46 🔗 Coderjoe or even the old DOS demoscene. again where you couldn't just throw polygons at the hardware
20:47 🔗 Coderjoe kinda miss those.. quite impressive
20:47 🔗 Coderjoe though some of the content of some of the 64k demos are still rather impressive
20:47 🔗 DarkStar2 it was Second Reality that got me hooked to the PC demoscene
20:47 🔗 chronomex you want a return to the olden days?
20:48 🔗 chronomex join the calculator hacking community!
20:48 🔗 chronomex http://www.ticalc.org/ , /join #ti
20:48 🔗 PatC chronomex, let me know if you upload them anywhere
20:48 🔗 chronomex dunno if it'll happen
20:48 🔗 PatC ok
20:48 🔗 chronomex also #cemetech
20:48 🔗 Coderjoe bah
20:49 🔗 Coderjoe I was hacking on TI calcs 10 years ago
20:49 🔗 Coderjoe get off my lawn
20:49 🔗 chronomex so was I
20:49 🔗 chronomex fucker that's my lawn too
20:49 🔗 chronomex public park
20:50 🔗 SketchCow I'm going to wait for you old men to die and I will fuck your skulls
20:50 🔗 SketchCow Now watch the talk
20:50 🔗 chronomex NO
20:51 🔗 SketchCow He's streaming the demo
20:51 🔗 SketchCow DEMO IN EFFECT
20:51 🔗 SketchCow AMMMIIIIIGGGAAAAA
20:51 🔗 SketchCow Pants off
20:51 🔗 chronomex fap fap fap
20:53 🔗 PatC That demo is awesome
20:53 🔗 SketchCow They're using an emulator, points off
20:53 🔗 PatC ^
20:53 🔗 * PatC fires up his c64 and 1541 drive
20:53 🔗 SketchCow C64 - VGA in... NOT A PROBLEM
20:53 🔗 SketchCow Come in early
20:54 🔗 SketchCow At blockparty, we did what we needed to do to bring stuff off a Colecovision
20:54 🔗 DarkStar2 I think I still have the disk with the C64 port of the Second Reality Demo lying around here somewhere... I'm curious how it wuold look on my big TV :)
20:54 🔗 PatC SketchCow, I have a coleco telstar colortron
20:55 🔗 SketchCow Man, I am so fucking glad we've cleaned this NYC apartment
20:55 🔗 DarkStar2 btw. there's a demoscene party at the moment here in Germany as well... "The Ultimate Meeting". I guess there will be some interesting releases from there as well
20:55 🔗 SketchCow We have so much space
20:55 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, I cruise pouet
20:56 🔗 gui77 what happens if you're running multiple instances of the mobileme wget-warc and then run touch stop?
20:57 🔗 SketchCow Someone needs to answer you who are not me.
20:57 🔗 SketchCow Ha ha "Only a few illegal opcodes are useful, but they should be used."
20:57 🔗 chronomex gui77: it stops eventually
20:57 🔗 SketchCow Breaking news, there.
20:57 🔗 gui77 i'm in no hurry for an answer :p
20:57 🔗 PatC :p
20:57 🔗 DarkStar2 yeah, self-modifying code
20:57 🔗 SketchCow This guy's going to quickly go from A to a B
20:58 🔗 DarkStar2 ...evil to debug
20:58 🔗 gui77 chronomex: but does it stop all instances? or just 1? if 1, which?
20:58 🔗 SketchCow self-modifying code - can't do without
20:58 🔗 chronomex DarkStar2: tricky to write, trickier to fix
20:58 🔗 DarkStar2 true
20:58 🔗 chronomex gui77: all of em that are running from that directory
20:58 🔗 DarkStar2 ah, that reminds me...
20:58 🔗 chronomex "if it was hard to write it should be hard to read!"
20:58 🔗 gui77 chronomex: ah ok thanks :)
20:59 🔗 Dark_Star 3 registers, 256 bytes stack, one interrupt... amazing what you can still create with such limited resources
20:59 🔗 chronomex that's tiny
21:00 🔗 chronomex msp430's tiniest chip is luxury compared to that
21:00 🔗 SketchCow Oh boy, here comes a spammer on archiveteam.org.
21:00 🔗 PatC uh oh...
21:00 🔗 PatC SketchCow, where in the site?
21:01 🔗 SketchCow User pages.
21:01 🔗 Dark_Star whoa, that's really eeevil coding :)
21:02 🔗 Dark_Star jumping into I/O space... geez, these guys still come up with really crazy ideas
21:03 🔗 gui77 speaking of spam, how come when googling "archiveteam" the text is an ad for viagra hehe?
21:03 🔗 SketchCow You get half a guess, that I will ignore
21:04 🔗 chronomex The 4 Tenets of Archiveteam: Friendship - Unity - Caring - Kindness
21:34 🔗 SketchCow The other reason a C64 demo might look better now than then was because they can use off-machine coding and development tools, then pour them right into the c64.
21:34 🔗 SketchCow He's not mentioning that, I don't think he has to, but he's not.
21:35 🔗 Dark_Star yes, that's what I thought too
21:35 🔗 Dark_Star he talked about using LZ packers on his PC which probably was not possible in the 80s on the C64 itself
21:36 🔗 SketchCow Exactly.
21:36 🔗 SketchCow Or the girl, who is obviously a convert.
21:36 🔗 SketchCow I'm FINE with all this, it's just why it seems to look better.
21:40 🔗 Coderjoe wow. wikipedia is currently registered with godaddy. they're apparently transferring away over sopa
21:47 🔗 SketchCow Yeah
22:31 🔗 gui77 if for some reason (like a system or crash or a connection drop) i don't finish some downloads, does the trackers know that i didn't finish them (so it can assign them to someone else?
22:31 🔗 gui77 and should i go find incomplete files/folders and try to delete them so they're not accidentally uploaded, or does the upload script only upload complete ones?
22:34 🔗 gui77 i don't want to be supplying corrupted/incomplete data :/
22:41 🔗 gui77 or should i just, without any downloads running, delete any folder with a .incomplete?
22:43 🔗 bsmith093 anyone want 2500 appleII disk images?
23:02 🔗 Coderjoe bsmith093: of course
23:02 🔗 bsmith093 k then uploading to batcave
23:03 🔗 bsmith093 fyi i grabbed it as a torrent zip i glanced throu it seems fairly organized
23:03 🔗 bsmith093 no obvious warez, plus its only ~400gb
23:03 🔗 Coderjoe gui77: the upload script only uploads complete profiles. the tracker (macme?) is told when a profile is completed, so it knows a profile was given out but not completed, but it doesn't know that it isn't still being downloaded
23:03 🔗 bsmith093 mostly shk files
23:04 🔗 gui77 Coderjoe: how should i correct the situation?
23:04 🔗 bsmith093 splinder STILL, how big is that last profile?
