00:31 🔗 noahc Good argument for proactive archiving of user content.
00:34 🔗 omf_ Does anyone know what the default behavior of the warrior is for using a new tracking instance
00:57 🔗 nertzy I got all hot and bothered about Upcoming going away so I came back and fired up my warrior again, only to find out it had already been backed up! So happy!
02:14 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, we're hardcore
04:42 🔗 godane i'm using the warrior
06:36 🔗 vividemin is it possible to run the seesaw script on multiple projects from the same ip?
11:45 🔗 ZoeB Hi! I'm not sure if anyone's interested, but I wrote a quick Python script that archives messages from e-mail mailing lists and USENET newsgroups. Would anyone like a copy?
12:00 🔗 SmileyG ZoeB: do you have it on github?
12:00 🔗 ZoeB I do! It's at https://github.com/ZoeB/arcmesg
12:01 🔗 SmileyG brill :)
12:01 🔗 ZoeB I only wrote it today, so it's currently missing documentation etc
12:01 🔗 ZoeB But hey, it works!
12:02 🔗 SmileyG thats the important bit :)
12:02 🔗 godane thats good
12:03 🔗 godane i was thinking about that so we could start doing full offline archives of stuff like linux kernel mailing list
12:03 🔗 InitHello looks solid
12:04 🔗 godane may want to do it by year or something cause i think that would be like 200gb or something otherwise
12:04 🔗 flaushy did anyone talk to gmame? they might have great archives
12:09 🔗 ZoeB Yeah, I need to add a bunch of features, such as export-to-mbox-format, sorted by month, that sort of thing
12:13 🔗 tef ZoeB: how does it work ?
12:13 🔗 tef ah I see pop3/nntp archiving
12:13 🔗 tef fwiw, warc is not going to be the most pleasant output format :v
12:18 🔗 ZoeB Sorry, I'm also cooking lunch...
12:18 🔗 ZoeB Yeah, you give it a list of POP3 and NNTP accounts, and it downloads and optionally deletes from POP3 all the messages
12:19 🔗 ZoeB It makes a SHA1 of the unique identifier for each message, and uses that for the directory and filename, Git style
12:19 🔗 ZoeB Hopefully I'll add mbox import/export in a little bit
12:20 🔗 ZoeB I'm amenable to feature suggestions, bugfixes, patches, etc. :)
12:21 🔗 InitHello I'm assuming you plan on using optparse at some point
12:24 🔗 ZoeB I hadn't heard of it, but *now* I'm planning on using it, thanks!
12:25 🔗 ZoeB hmm... argparse it is!
12:28 🔗 GLaDOS The one thing I didn't miss about quassel: doesn't group mode changes for op/deop, etc. together.
12:49 🔗 SmileyG dangit every item we finish in streetfiles seems to add 10 more XD
16:30 🔗 gerry http://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1dcf2o/angelina_jolie_hot_collection/
16:38 🔗 ZoeB IRC has spam now?
16:40 🔗 Baljem spam's all I see on some of my other networks :/
16:41 🔗 ZoeB Cleary I'm not getting out enough. Or too much, if IRC doesn't count.
17:00 🔗 benuski posterous is actively banning us, right? so if I was able to download 60 blogs today before it just stopped for the last hour, I should move on to something else, right?
17:14 🔗 SmileyG tywes#
17:57 🔗 SmileyG switched my work box to streetfiles too - lets finish this
18:00 🔗 SmileyG 29hours...
18:35 🔗 omf_ Anyone else having timeout issues when uploading to IA? I don't mean backing off, I mean in the middle of an upload it stops.
18:35 🔗 omf_ First time I have seen this happen
18:54 🔗 DFJustin yes seeing that today along with other slowness
19:14 🔗 godane some one grab this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Z-KZsXMD8gw
19:25 🔗 chronomex godane: ok. grabbing. what is it?
19:27 🔗 SmileyG how can you grab a live feed?
19:28 🔗 chronomex I've got plenty of free disk, I can grab it
19:28 🔗 SmileyG I'm just wondeirng how you manage it :P
19:29 🔗 chronomex youtube-dl does it happily :P
19:52 🔗 chronomex godane: this is insane, why are you having me archive this
19:55 🔗 Ymgve chronomex: because it is insane
19:56 🔗 chronomex godane is a very strange man
19:56 🔗 sep332 i think it's funny :)
20:01 🔗 SmileyG chronomex: it's... historical
20:27 🔗 joepie91 http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/29/4283086/comicsalliance-blog-the-latest-aol-property-to-be-shut-down
20:27 🔗 joepie91 I'm not sure what AOL is up to, but it sounds like a super emergency rescue save is in order
20:33 🔗 omf_ I am grabbing the comics site
20:33 🔗 joepie91 Joystiq and Engadget are also AOL, right?
20:37 🔗 SilSte is there already a grabber project?
20:38 🔗 chronomex it seems aol doesn't know what they're up to either
20:38 🔗 SilSte prevention? ^^ :D
20:38 🔗 joepie91 somewhat surprised that they're still around
20:39 🔗 SilSte :D
20:40 🔗 sep332 AOL music was canceled last week http://mashable.com/2013/04/26/aol-music-closes/
20:42 🔗 SilSte what about the archiving?
20:49 🔗 omf_ Its a good thing you all read the wiki, right? http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Current_Projects
20:50 🔗 SilSte yeah... but I'm missing the how-to or warrior ;-)
21:04 🔗 SmileyG hmmmmm streetfiles is slowing down :<
21:05 🔗 Baljem yes, the tracker was paused for a while to let the site recover, alard's now gradually raising the rate limit. currently 1 item/minute
21:06 🔗 SmileyG ah ok
21:06 🔗 alard Actually I've just stopped it again.
21:06 🔗 Baljem SmileyG: #streetsoffire for all the latest hot goss ;)
21:06 🔗 Baljem doh
21:07 🔗 SmileyG yeah i expcted to see it in the tracker channel :P
21:08 🔗 joepie91 omf_: the wiki frontpage is always outdated ;)
21:08 🔗 omf_ talk to SketchCow
21:08 🔗 omf_ or soultcer
21:14 🔗 alard Hi people running those 40 warriors to archive Streetfiles: It's nice you want to help, but perhaps it's more effective if you help with a different warrior project. We're sending too much traffic to Streetfiles at the moment, so we're limiting the number of items given out per minute. (To 0 per minute, even.) Your warrior is probably just waiting for work, so perhaps it's better to let it work on Formspring.
21:20 🔗 SmileyG hehe we really need that upgrade to warrior to have a backup project
21:21 🔗 SilSte +1
21:28 🔗 SmileyG Suggesting it now
21:35 🔗 SmileyG https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/warrior-code2/issues/1
21:35 🔗 SmileyG Feel free to add comments too
21:36 🔗 alard Isn't that what ArchiveTeam's Choice should do?
21:37 🔗 soultcer omf_, I can't edit the wiki front page, sorry.
21:48 🔗 thingles btw... for those of you here that oversee the archiveteam wiki, I've got WikiApiary monitoring it. You may find it useful: http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Archiveteam
21:49 🔗 thingles and, in the spirit of "Saving your shit"... I've got the experimental archive capability on using the wikiteam's DumpGenerator. http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Archiveteam/Backup_log
21:59 🔗 frame_at alard: I'd love to switch to "ArchiveTeam's Choice" but my IP is still banned by Posterous. It would be interesting to make the client check for ban-like situations before switch a project. Unless the warrior does this already.
22:00 🔗 TrojanEel Isn't Formspring ArchiveTeam's Choice now?
22:00 🔗 frame_at (yes I'm aware that the choice is currently Formspring)
22:01 🔗 frame_at you just beat me to it :)
22:01 🔗 frame_at it was posterous a while ago, which made all my instances do nothing.
22:01 🔗 frame_at so I moved them to a manual project and left the house :)
22:01 🔗 TrojanEel gotcha :-)
22:35 🔗 SilSte streetfiles down!
22:40 🔗 SmileyG it's in maitiance, I don't think it was us
22:47 🔗 * Cameron_D places a bet on it never coming out maintnance
22:47 🔗 SilSte Cameron_D: what do you bet?
22:51 🔗 SilSte tracker stopped?
23:47 🔗 VonGuard http://www.flapdangle.com/photos/gallery/newyork/800x800/DCP01104.JPG
