[00:07] I'd like to free up some space on my VPS. At what point will it be "safe" to remove some splinder stuff and which bits exactly? [00:07] I deleted all my splinder stuff a while ago [00:07] (I ran out of quota last night when I started a dld-streamer to redo the things that had errors.) [00:08] Also, what about rsyncing the accounts with special characters that uploading choked on? Do we have a procedure for that yet? [00:08] you can fix them manually [00:08] that's what I did [00:09] i also fixed it, by taking out the backslashes that got added [00:10] the problem for rsync isn't the special characters. it is that the step between finding profiles and feeding them to rsync loses the backslashes [00:10] so the dir has backslashes and rsync is looking for a directory without backslashes [00:14] Aaah, I see. [00:14] find -print0| xargs -0? [00:20] the script is doing a find to get the profile dirs, then checking for .incomplete and some other things and then echos the acceptable profiles to rsync, which is getting a list of files from stdin [00:20] and the backslashes are getting lost in that last echo [00:20] leaning toothpick syndrome [00:22] the backslashes are not part of the actual profile name, but were added by the downloader script. [00:34] whats xargs -0, infinite? [00:38] bsmith093: null termination. [00:39] find -print0 outputs null-terminated; xargs -0 accepts null-terminated input. [02:38] yipdw: whats the command to automate the storyinator script, i have your list of id numbers, and my own method has been running for 2 dtys now and only has 25k stories. [04:01] Oh, what's this? We have something for defeating Fanfiction.net? [04:04] defeating? [04:07] I would consider us doing our thing on a site with a draconian robots.txt and millions of users and their content is a "win". [04:07] So they will then have "lost" as they have been "defeated". Or something like that. [04:07] ehhh [04:15] It's all bombast and metaphor because that's fun. At the end of the day, as long as we manage to rescue fanfiction.net from itself, we can consider it a job well-done, IMO. [04:17] fanfiction.net is not making any shutdown threats [04:17] nor have they (as far as I know) been hostile to archival efforts [04:19] User-agent: ia_archiver [04:19] Disallow: / [04:19] That's good enough for me.
