01:24 🔗 noahc Is there a good way to follow progress nwnet project?
01:31 🔗 omf_ noahc, the irc channel #nwnyet and the wiki page
01:31 🔗 noahc Thanks.
05:09 🔗 namespace Forgot how to spell the posterous channel.
05:10 🔗 omf_ #preposterus
05:10 🔗 namespace Thank you.
05:21 🔗 sethish Internet Archive had a really sweet demo that was just a live feed of recently scanned books. It would automatically page through them. I can't find it anymore.
05:27 🔗 SketchCow It's down
05:27 🔗 SketchCow Machine went down, we're fixing it
05:27 🔗 SketchCow I'll have it back up next week
05:27 🔗 SketchCow promise.
05:27 🔗 SketchCow statusboard.archive.org
05:32 🔗 BlueMax Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to statusboard.archive.org
05:32 🔗 BlueMax Kind of defeats the point doesn't it :P
05:32 🔗 godane i'm uploading 2 thinks at once
05:32 🔗 godane *things
05:41 🔗 namespace SketchCow: Those sorts of demos are really cool.
05:42 🔗 namespace They demonstrate the raw power of having the 19th century at your fingertips.
05:42 🔗 namespace (What would be cooler would be if we could have more of the 20th.)
05:43 🔗 SketchCow Which what
05:43 🔗 SketchCow Oh yes
05:56 🔗 SketchCow chronomex: Guess what! I finally downloaded f'in MPOLI.FI
06:03 🔗 chronomex what's that
06:05 🔗 SketchCow The website that had an amazing ftp site
06:06 🔗 SketchCow It's 14gb of awesome, packing it up now.
06:06 🔗 SketchCow It's vintage heaven
06:06 🔗 SketchCow I feel really good about cdbbsarchive and diskdrives
06:07 🔗 SketchCow These are some major, major things we're saving and making that much more accessible
06:07 🔗 SketchCow A reasonably driven person could retrieve a lot of older stuff they need
06:08 🔗 SketchCow I'd point to this thing but it's packing hundreds of thousands of files, maybe
06:08 🔗 SketchCow Interestingly, it has a directory called unpacked
06:09 🔗 SketchCow I'm seeing stuff like the trident and cirrus cards
06:09 🔗 SketchCow That stuff is long long gone.
06:09 🔗 omf_ S3 Virge!!!
06:09 🔗 omf_ 2mb of RAM
06:10 🔗 SketchCow http://files.mpoli.fi/unpacked/hardware/display/
06:10 🔗 DFJustin mess is just now emulating the s3 virge
06:11 🔗 SketchCow http://files.mpoli.fi/unpacked/hardware/display/s3/
06:11 🔗 SketchCow see?
06:11 🔗 SketchCow Treasure trove
06:11 🔗 SketchCow Now mirrored
06:11 🔗 omf_ That is some really hot shit
06:12 🔗 DFJustin btw SketchCow did you see the link to ftp://ftp.bu.edu/mirrors/simtelnet/ I posted the other day, or is simtel something you already have covered
06:14 🔗 omf_ DFJustin, I have it on my list and now that ftp.ea.com is uploaded I can grab this one too
06:14 🔗 SketchCow I didn't.
06:14 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, ftp.ea.com!
06:14 🔗 SketchCow It's easier for me to grab these sites like FTP
06:15 🔗 omf_ the file list is pretty interesting https://ia601703.us.archive.org/30/items/ftp.ea.com_2012-05-06/filelist.txt
06:15 🔗 omf_ it has old origin patches for Ultima
06:21 🔗 SketchCow I like this, because this is the secret stealth history saving
06:21 🔗 SketchCow I'm dealing with a lot of digital preservation and software people and none of them are really doing this.
06:21 🔗 omf_ Nobody checks the FTP :)
06:21 🔗 SketchCow Not really.
06:21 🔗 SketchCow No, they don't.
06:21 🔗 omf_ speaking of which
06:22 🔗 omf_ I need a collection to store my numerous terabytes of every single linux distro packaged and shipped
06:22 🔗 SketchCow Sure.
06:22 🔗 omf_ I got disk, cd and dvd isos and checksums
06:23 🔗 SketchCow Quite something
06:23 🔗 SketchCow How many tb?
06:23 🔗 omf_ I used to work at an isp
06:23 🔗 SketchCow I ask only out of curiosity
06:23 🔗 omf_ at least 3tb
06:23 🔗 SketchCow Oh, easy.
06:23 🔗 omf_ It is scattered across backup drives
06:23 🔗 omf_ I was working there when they took their redhat and full linux mirror offline
06:23 🔗 omf_ guess who got the drives
06:24 🔗 omf_ we took the usenet feed off next year and I could not get the backups for those though
06:24 🔗 SketchCow Well, excellent
06:25 🔗 SketchCow You can start uploading immediately, it's trivial to pump them into a collection after
06:25 🔗 SketchCow I have tools to do so
06:25 🔗 SketchCow So get cracking, try and have a relatively sane naming scheme
06:25 🔗 omf_ most of them are: distroname-version_arch.iso
06:26 🔗 closure fwiw, http://snapshot.debian.org/ is 16 tb. I have not seen any point in putting it into archive.org so far, ymmv ;)
06:27 🔗 omf_ does it have old versions in the archive?
06:27 🔗 closure yes, including versions never in any release
06:28 🔗 closure there's also http://archive.debian.org/ for actual releases
06:28 🔗 omf_ yeah everything I got is release only
06:29 🔗 omf_ Had to start somewhere
06:29 🔗 * closure remembers when someone came up with the debian 0.93r6 floppies from 1992.. which were thought to be long gone ;)
06:29 🔗 omf_ debian, slackware, suse, redhat, mandrake, ubuntu,
06:31 🔗 sethish I have a circa 1970's arcade cabinet running MAME, an Apple ][gs, and a stack of OLPCs. I want to get Prince of Persia running on all of them.
06:55 🔗 illunatic you guys are freakin awesome
07:15 🔗 tef illunatic: run a warrior, be awesome too
08:01 🔗 GLaDOS http://www.egyptindependent.com/
14:14 🔗 omf_ SketchCow, Two things. Just to verify you are going to download ftp://ftp.bu.edu/mirrors/simtelnet/ ? Does your ftp have 110gb free for the 4chandata?
14:18 🔗 * Smiley points to anarchive as a possible "in the meantime" destination
14:20 🔗 omf_ Smiley, we already ate half the storage space on anarchive
14:21 🔗 omf_ the bulk of that still needs to be uploaded as well
14:22 🔗 Smiley truer true.
14:34 🔗 GLaDOS HOW DO I CHANGED DYNAMIC HOST?
14:39 🔗 Smiley D:?
15:05 🔗 SketchCow hahahah
15:05 🔗 SketchCow I have a machine here with 4tb free.
15:05 🔗 SketchCow I can hold it.
15:08 🔗 SketchCow Grabbing simtelnet now.
15:14 🔗 omf_ SketchCow, My ftp login is not working. Make me a new account?
15:15 🔗 SketchCow FTP not active yet.
15:15 🔗 SketchCow But soon
15:15 🔗 * Smiley wibles
15:15 🔗 Smiley omf_: Y U NO REPLY| IN #ispygames
16:05 🔗 SketchCow Hey, who was I working in here for a robot that can post to mediawiki?
16:22 🔗 audy I have some spare cycles and bandwidth and wouldn't mind running a warrior
16:24 🔗 audy oh hrms I've found the project
16:28 🔗 Smiley audy: :) if you need any help just shout.
16:29 🔗 frame_at I like the new web based UI of the warrior. Last time I used it was everything was still CLI
16:30 🔗 omf_ We still have the cli version for running on cloud instances
16:51 🔗 illunatic tef: actually i just got a vps. i'm sure i could put it to work for you guys somehow
16:52 🔗 pft the question is how do you rate-limit running from the commandline (unless you are running virtualbox from the commandline)
16:52 🔗 illunatic nope just CLI
16:52 🔗 tef pft: if you run it from the github rather than in a vm, the command line options explain it I think, try --help
16:53 🔗 illunatic i presume rate-limit is so you aren't maxing your bandwidth?
16:54 🔗 illunatic i'll hit the wikis this weekend and probably need help at some point
16:56 🔗 pft tef: which github am i looking at here?
16:57 🔗 tef depends which project
16:57 🔗 pft ahh ok, so it's a different script per project then
16:57 🔗 tef yes
16:57 🔗 pft and warrior just manages choosing and running the script, got it
16:57 🔗 tef but shared libraries, the sesaw lib iirc and wget-lua
16:57 🔗 pft right
17:20 🔗 pft i don't see rate-limiting in run-pipeline but i'm running it anyways and just monitoring with vnstat
17:20 🔗 pft but i think i got banned already, go posterous!
17:22 🔗 balrog they're banning after 10 minutes
17:22 🔗 href my posterous warriors seems to still be working
17:28 🔗 balrog when did they start?
17:28 🔗 href 4 or 5 days ago
17:44 🔗 Smiley xD
18:39 🔗 omf_ We are getting some tweets from people with 150k followers, everyone should feel good about the work
19:12 🔗 Smiley :)
19:39 🔗 audy I'm still getting no usable Wget+Lua when running pipeline
19:40 🔗 audy On ubuntu
19:40 🔗 audy I ran get-wget-lua but it fails
19:41 🔗 audy error: lua not found
19:41 🔗 audy but I've installed lua
19:41 🔗 audy Lua 5.0.3 Copyright (C) 1994-2006 Tecgraf, PUC-Rio
19:41 🔗 alard The lua dev package?
19:41 🔗 audy oooh
19:41 🔗 audy right it's looking for lua.h
19:42 🔗 alard And you might even need Lua 5.1
19:42 🔗 alard I have liblua5.1-0-dev
19:46 🔗 audy alard this worked. Thanks
20:08 🔗 frame_at ..aaaand just got banned from posterous :) Well, it's all I could do.
20:17 🔗 noahc It's too bad they couldn't just give us hard drives with all the info on it.
20:21 🔗 frame_at they'd probably contain private data
20:26 🔗 noahc You could do a mysql dump or something similar with select columns.
20:27 🔗 noahc I agree, you couldn't just pull them out of a machine though.
20:51 🔗 alard brb1081: If you're reading this: don't run the ArchiveTeam warrior at school. :)
20:51 🔗 alard "Access to this website has been denied. local-exception(social_networking_site_-_blocked_due_to_inappropriate_8th_grade_content"
