08:20 🔗 SketchCow On a train!
08:21 🔗 SketchCow That is happening!
08:22 🔗 ersi Connectivity? On a train? In the US? LOL
08:22 🔗 SketchCow We do what we can
08:23 🔗 SketchCow I wouldn't run netflix on it, of course.
08:28 🔗 ersi Yeah, got WiFi (hooked up to 3G with beefy antennaes on the train) on some trains in Sweden - works pretty fine
08:31 🔗 SketchCow Not sure how they're doing this. I wouldn't run a hearrt monitor off it.
08:33 🔗 SketchCow I'm now downloading and soon to put into Archive.org a few more files
08:36 🔗 SketchCow Check out what just showed up.
08:36 🔗 SketchCow http://archive.org/details/creativecomputingv11n11
13:26 🔗 SketchCow Hey, gang.
13:26 🔗 SketchCow In DC at a Game Preservation conference!
13:26 🔗 SketchCow All the big academic names!
13:30 🔗 * ats googles, and finds: "Game preservation is maintaining a stock of game to be hunted legally. It includes: preventing poaching, preventing losses due to attack by predators, and encouraging breeding."
13:31 🔗 norbert79 SketchCow: Good for you :)
13:32 🔗 norbert79 SketchCow: Hope you will have a chat about the catch 22 case of how games are dying just because it's not to be distributed without authorization, but you can't buy it either
13:32 🔗 norbert79 or about arcade roms
13:32 🔗 norbert79 same issue
13:42 🔗 SketchCow This is known
13:45 🔗 SketchCow Oops, archive.org is down
14:01 🔗 SketchCow http://pvw.illinois.edu/pvw2/
14:06 🔗 norbert79 Interesting
16:10 🔗 godane looks like 2 episodes of attack of the show from eclipse got uploaded
16:10 🔗 godane this is past the july 2012 date when he stopped doing it
23:02 🔗 balrog_ dashcloud: like, none?
23:03 🔗 alard dashcloud: No space at all. It requests the /repositories listing from the API, then uploads the XML data.
23:03 🔗 balrog_ alard: is this script using a valid user agent string?
23:03 🔗 alard This is not the download-files thing, it's just to find repositories.
23:04 🔗 alard balrog_: It uses the standard user agent string.
23:04 🔗 balrog_ ok
23:04 🔗 alard It's the API, so the user agent doesn't matter?
23:04 🔗 balrog_ github says they require a user agent
23:04 🔗 balrog_ "All API requests are encouraged to send a valid User Agent string. This is usually the HTTP client that you are using. If you are hitting the API without authentication, we ask that you add some kind of identification to the UA. This is so we can contact you if there are problems."
23:05 🔗 balrog_ but above that it says "User Agent Required"
23:05 🔗 alard Should it say "Archive Team, contact @textfiles for complaints"?
23:06 🔗 * chronomex runs
23:10 🔗 chronomex alard: have you considered allowing the person running it to supply credentials?
23:10 🔗 chronomex gives you 100x more resources
23:11 🔗 alard chronomex: Feel free to add it if you want to use it. (I won't use my own credentials.)
23:12 🔗 chronomex heh, I'd put mine in but I've got other things to do
23:12 🔗 chronomex like IRC and INTERNET
23:12 🔗 chronomex also work
23:12 🔗 alard It may not be necessary.
23:12 🔗 chronomex sure
23:15 🔗 soultcer So only one user can work on a task at any time
23:15 🔗 alard (4615514 + 1) repositories / (6000 repos/hour) = 32 days, for one IP.
23:16 🔗 soultcer I supply 7 or 8 IPs
23:19 🔗 alard 4 days, then!
23:19 🔗 alard (It's a simple script, so there can only be one active thing at a time. Each request produces the next url.)
23:19 🔗 alard http://tracker.archiveteam.org:8125/
23:19 🔗 * chronomex supplies an ip
23:20 🔗 alard 3 + 5/9 days!
23:20 🔗 chronomex erp, did I fetch a job mistakenly there
23:20 🔗 balrog_ yeah me too :P
23:20 🔗 balrog_ current url: https://api.github.com/repositories?since=141509
23:20 🔗 balrog_ lock expires in: -1
23:22 🔗 corobo are there any (plans) for centos/rhel-based scripts? Wouldn't mind getting a few idle servers on the case :)
23:22 🔗 soultcer corobo: All you need is python2 and python-requests library to run it
23:23 🔗 dashcloud so it's saying no task currently
23:23 🔗 corobo ah I'll have a more in-depth peek
23:24 🔗 soultcer dashcloud: It's because someone else is currently working on a task. Only 1 task can be done at the same time, but since each user can only do 60 requests per hour, everyone will get their turn
23:24 🔗 dashcloud ah
23:24 🔗 dashcloud okay
23:24 🔗 dashcloud I'll just leave it there then
23:30 🔗 alard The number of repositories we found so far: http://tracker.archiveteam.org/github/
23:32 🔗 chronomex 72300?
23:33 🔗 alard Yes.
23:41 🔗 * Nemo_bis doesn't care about his github account
23:56 🔗 kennethre alard: how can i help?
23:56 🔗 kennethre I assure you I care more about this than anyone in the room :)
23:56 🔗 chronomex kennethre: do you work at github?
23:56 🔗 chronomex istr you're at heroku
23:57 🔗 kennethre I work closely with them, they paid me for a while
23:57 🔗 chronomex aye
