00:07 🔗 dashcloud wow- bitcoin is popular enough for regular spammers?
00:24 🔗 dashcloud manual downloading is coming along- after an fruitless search of HP's ftp site, a google site search is proving far more useful, and I've got a nice pile of manuals cued for download
00:53 🔗 Dr-Flay Coppernic Agent is a good way of doing multiple searches you can finlter and save
01:08 🔗 dashcloud so how's it work with wine?
01:40 🔗 Dr-Flay Sorry, not run it in Linux. Copernic has been around since the 90's, (It's how we searched before web engines became popular) they may have a Linux version. I'll check.
01:54 🔗 Dr-Flay Looks like version 6.11 was tested and given a gold rating under Wine, so it looks like it should work well.
01:55 🔗 Dr-Flay http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8645
01:56 🔗 Dr-Flay no native Linux version, but then they are a commercial company
02:02 🔗 bsmith094 is aws ec2 worth it for these types of grabs?
02:03 🔗 dashcloud not sure
02:03 🔗 bsmith094 also has SketchCow been dumping textfiles.com into IA, cause AFAIK, they have only the time capsule, and thats old
02:06 🔗 dashcloud getting the urls for the manuals is the hardest part- after that any computer with wget can grab them
02:41 🔗 Dr-Flay I'm chatting with some of my Unreal Tournament colleagues. There are those of us who have been archiving everything we can for a while
02:43 🔗 Dr-Flay There is a sexy Frenchman (he's damn sexy now!) Who claims he already has the complete Fileplanet !
02:44 🔗 chronomex !
02:45 🔗 Dr-Flay Medor or Darkmedor, has his mirror of www.ut-files.com and says once he has sorted it, it will be going live again
02:46 🔗 Dr-Flay ut-files recently had a crisis as it is hosted by another UT mad private individual by the tag "SKILLS"
02:47 🔗 Dr-Flay The site is payed for by donations, and that is a risk
02:50 🔗 Dr-Flay medors mirror is the only other complete and live copy of ut-files.com. I have been suggesting combining mirrors via a portal like the Aminet uses. Then using CoralCDN in all the links, and create a massive UnrealCDN
03:04 🔗 Dr-Flay Question to the team: Have you been able to use "FXP" protocol to do site to site transfers ?
03:12 🔗 chronomex I've heard of it but never tried
03:19 🔗 dashcloud folks, this is a little flakey, but otherwise it's perfect- you get the website url and the title of the page, which is great for service manuals since they seem to have numeric-only identifiers a lot: http://jurnsearch.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/how-to-extract-google-search-results-with-url-title-and-snippet-in-a-csv-file/
03:26 🔗 Dr-Flay FXP is very handy, for those who have the time, but not the bandwidth or storage capacity. I used to use it at work to move stuff from sites to my private folder on a friends server. Igloo has a Linux version, have a look. Again their devs may be able to work with you for a custom version if needed. http://www.iglooftp.com/linux/
03:33 🔗 godane can anyone get this on to archive.org: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Site
03:33 🔗 godane its old enough that i shouldn't be taking down
03:33 🔗 godane thats if anyone can find full episodes of it
03:43 🔗 Dr-Flay Here's a blog with some info on setting up FXP for your servers http://blog.b2netsolutions.com/server-administration-guides/setup-fxp-on-ftp-servers/
04:05 🔗 Dr-Flay Can't find the signup for the wiki :(
04:10 🔗 arkhive iTunes Ping is closing its doors September 30th. Backup your data if possible.
04:19 🔗 arkhive I don't know if there is anything to save but Google Music China is shuttering. http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-09-21/google-says-it-will-shut-china-music-service
04:20 🔗 arkhive Just thought I'd announce that.
04:30 🔗 bsmith09- 2
04:31 🔗 chronomex m
05:13 🔗 Dr-Flay BTW peeps, I asked the author of the Opera Webcache plugin, to add CoralCDN and the Web Archive's live URLs. you can now manually drag pages into the Wayback Machine. I do it regularly with pages and files I find important. (saving the web a little at a time) Another good reason to use Opera browser :D
05:39 🔗 DFJustin coralcdn isn't a permanent archive though right, just a load balancer that will purge old stuff out as new stuff comes in?
05:54 🔗 chronomex correct
05:54 🔗 chronomex coralcdn has a ~1h expiry, iirc
08:36 🔗 Dr-Flay @chronomex The flush time of Coral is something I have been wanting to know. is this based on entry to the CDN, or last access?
08:37 🔗 chronomex I'm pretty sure it's X minutes from last access, with some upper bound on lifetime without refresh
08:40 🔗 Dr-Flay I have been suggesting to a few admins of some Unreal based servers, that DLs and redirects for game servers, be routed through it as a test. That is good to know
08:41 🔗 Dr-Flay Game files tend to be temporary, but private hosted servers sometimes take a hammering
08:46 🔗 Dr-Flay So as long as people keep joining the server frequently, even if the redirect fails, gamers should experience little impact. Groovy. Can't let anything stop people shooting their best friends.
