00:05 🔗 closure we could use some help over on #preposterus . Lots of free download slots http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Posterous
07:50 🔗 grawity So I'm wondering if this whole project is limited to websites, or does is also include things like (self-hosted) Git repositories...
08:00 🔗 soultcer What project?
08:57 🔗 Smiley grawity: _everything_.
08:57 🔗 Smiley If your talking about what archiveteam looks at.
08:59 🔗 Lord_Nigh heh i have copies of two versions of the qnx svn repository i found mirrors of at some point (just flat mirrors, not the whole svn though :( )
08:59 🔗 Lord_Nigh if that got on archive.org it'd need to be blacked out immediately
09:00 🔗 Lord_Nigh afaik qnx is not *supposed* to be open source (whether its source has leaked ornot over the years... yeah, it has.)
09:00 🔗 Lord_Nigh (at least twice)
09:01 🔗 chronomex oh nice
09:01 🔗 Lord_Nigh (though these seem to have been mirrors done non maliciously, look like personal copies via the qnx dev program that got unintentionally made publically accessable)
09:01 🔗 Lord_Nigh (by being permissions set wrong on web interface etc)
09:01 🔗 Lord_Nigh (on people's personal sites)
09:02 🔗 Lord_Nigh given that RIM (who currently owns QNX) looks headed for the bankruptcy pits in a year or so... i dunno what will happen with QNX
09:02 🔗 Lord_Nigh i assume (actually hope) they'll spin it back off as its own company
09:02 🔗 Lord_Nigh there are atms and scada and embedded systems and crap that still use QNX
09:03 🔗 Lord_Nigh QNX is not a bad os at all from what i've seen
09:06 🔗 grawity hm, I sort of wish there was something like archive.org, but which mirrored git, svn repositories... I often find websites that have died recently, the website itself is archived but the source code repo went poof. (although maybe I'm misunderstanding the relationship between #archiveteam and archive.org.)
09:07 🔗 Smiley grawity: if we can, we grab _everything_.
09:26 🔗 chronomex we're getting more organized at it as we go along :)
09:58 🔗 db48x it'd be nice to make wget --mirror handle cvs/svn/hg/git/etc urls by farming them out to external programs
11:02 🔗 SketchCow Goood morning.
11:02 🔗 Smiley o/
11:02 🔗 db48x SketchCow: hello
11:02 🔗 SketchCow What's up. I have a little time to think, for a change.
11:04 🔗 db48x not a lot
11:08 🔗 SketchCow Well, #preposterous, that's a good feeling that we're on it.
11:08 🔗 SketchCow Stickam, not sure where we left that.
11:08 🔗 SketchCow I have some lines in to some projects my own self.
11:11 🔗 db48x yea, preposterous has started pretty well
11:17 🔗 SketchCow Stickam? It'd be good to get an idea of that
11:18 🔗 db48x I think it's lost
11:19 🔗 db48x there was some investigation of the https version of the site
11:19 🔗 db48x but I see that nobody has updated the wiki
11:19 🔗 db48x it seems the https site has been shut off as well
11:33 🔗 db48x have you guys used Puppet before?
11:33 🔗 Smiley I know what it is, I've not used it though actively
11:56 🔗 SketchCow I almost had to learn it for work.
13:18 🔗 phaeilo Hello there, are you aware that punchfork is still actively used? Are there any plans to re-archive the content that is created over the next 24 days?
13:57 🔗 db48x phaeilo: yes :)
13:58 🔗 phaeilo db48x: great!
13:59 🔗 db48x keep a warrior running and it'll automatically join in
20:31 🔗 ivan` anyone backed up http://www.opera.com/ http://dev.opera.com/ https://addons.opera.com/?
20:31 🔗 db48x good question
20:31 🔗 ivan` and more https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=site%3Aopera.com&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=1&tbs=li:1
20:31 🔗 ivan` the site will probably be shrunk to nothing after they ship Chromium-Opera
20:31 🔗 db48x no doubt the wayback machine has opera.com, although you might check
20:33 🔗 SketchCow Wayback has it but deep crawl should happen.
20:50 🔗 db48x SketchCow: Firefox is about to get asm.js support :)
20:53 🔗 godane Hey SketchCow
20:54 🔗 godane got a new 2TB hard drive
20:54 🔗 godane its for the g4tv.com dump
20:54 🔗 DFJustin db48x: ooo
20:56 🔗 SketchCow Excellent.
20:58 🔗 SketchCow I have another project if an archive team member wants it.
21:01 🔗 omf_ What's the project SketchCow?
21:02 🔗 db48x I could do a project, except that I'm about to sleep
21:02 🔗 SketchCow It can be slow.
21:03 🔗 SketchCow In fact, it's wanted slow.
21:03 🔗 SketchCow And not announcing
21:03 🔗 ersi Slowchiving, the new thang
21:03 🔗 SketchCow Insider tip: last.fm in possible trouble
21:03 🔗 omf_ Then I am interested
21:03 🔗 omf_ wow
21:03 🔗 ersi SketchCow: Heh, go figure. Who uses that anymore :)
21:03 🔗 gui77 wow!
21:03 🔗 SketchCow Understanding "what" last.fm is, and how much original and other content there is, would be a project.
21:04 🔗 db48x what is a project
21:04 🔗 SketchCow If someone could just work with others on the wiki.
21:04 🔗 SketchCow Here.
21:04 🔗 SketchCow #lastchance.fm
21:04 🔗 ersi There's a few exporter tools already. I'll help organize some last.fm infoz
21:05 🔗 SketchCow Great.
21:10 🔗 Lord_Nigh i never got that: what *IS* last.fm?
21:11 🔗 ersi Lord_Nigh: It's a "What I've listened to"-diary.
21:11 🔗 db48x Lord_Nigh: as I understand, you install a plugin to your favorite music player, and it reports everything you play to them
21:11 🔗 DFJustin website that keeps track of every music track you listen to, then generates lists of artists you might like and people with similar taste
21:11 🔗 DFJustin they also run a for-pay streaming service
21:12 🔗 DFJustin so archive-wise there are users' track lists, wiki pages for artists, comment pages for everything, and forums
21:12 🔗 Lord_Nigh ah ok
21:13 🔗 DFJustin artists can also upload mp3s for free download which aren't necessarily available elsewhere
21:13 🔗 ersi Oh yeah, I forgot about that part.
21:13 🔗 ersi Yeah, and there's a bunch of indie artists that only upload either there - or only on their own places. Their listeners will however "scrobble" their track infoz and stuff
21:14 🔗 DFJustin loads of user-contributed album art and artist photos
21:15 🔗 SketchCow Right.
21:15 🔗 SketchCow That's what got the attention - possile one of a kind stuff, not 1000 copies of Taylor Swift
21:16 🔗 godane SketchCow: reason why i think IA needs dedups
21:17 🔗 godane makes it easier to get multiable same copys of crap
21:17 🔗 godane and save disk space
21:17 🔗 SketchCow That's on a project item list.
21:18 🔗 godane may also be nice to just you know upload a like md5sum/sha256sum text file to find if IA has it
21:18 🔗 db48x heh
21:18 🔗 godane makes it easyier on the uploader
21:22 🔗 Smiley I'll have to see if my "friend" still works there
21:22 🔗 Smiley tomorrow
21:22 🔗 ersi At? Last.fm?
21:22 🔗 Smiley yes
21:22 🔗 Smiley i've asked the question.
21:23 🔗 Smiley I don't think there much original stuff...
21:23 🔗 SketchCow Try to be careful. I was given this information quiely.
21:23 🔗 Smiley there used to be like a wiki for people to write about the artists however I've not checked the site lately
21:23 🔗 Smiley SketchCow: will do
21:23 🔗 Smiley I have a feeling he left when they got brought
21:23 🔗 Smiley however I still have a last.fm/dj cloak(hostmask) on freenode from there
21:23 🔗 Smiley Comes in handy
21:23 🔗 Smiley is it possibly disappearing?
21:24 🔗 * Smiley got disconnected
21:24 🔗 SketchCow Supposedly, funding concerns
21:24 🔗 Smiley hmmm
21:24 🔗 Smiley news corp.
21:24 🔗 ersi SketchCow: #lastchance.fm btw
21:33 🔗 godane SketchCow: when i'm i getting access to add files to my collections?
21:34 🔗 SketchCow I'll do it tonight. Today is sulfur mud baths
21:34 🔗 SketchCow Yesterday was visiting the set of the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings
21:34 🔗 godane also i have uploaded tons of stuff like Nerds 2.0.1 docs
21:35 🔗 SketchCow Righto.
21:35 🔗 godane https://archive.org/details/George.Lucas.Maker.Of.Films.1971.MP4
21:36 🔗 godane i also got a lost bbc doc about star wars music
21:36 🔗 godane from 1980
21:36 🔗 chronomex fab
21:37 🔗 SketchCow Yes.
21:37 🔗 SketchCow I am still travelling. Naturally it is bad to be on IRC instead of, you know, witnessing kiwis in darkness like I did last night at a Kiwi Refuge
21:37 🔗 SketchCow But I am full time on 24th again
21:37 🔗 godane cool
21:38 🔗 godane there maybe another like 3 or 4 collections to computer tech videos
