08:09 🔗 arrith1 anyone with access to any mailing lists or people that might be interested in Google Reader, please pass along a message about the ArchiveTeam effort. feel free to use any/all of the message in that github gist
08:16 🔗 Smiley hmmm
08:16 🔗 Smiley guys, there was a music site that had all the sources off site- well my warc of the non-ftp sources just finished, but I can't remember what site it was :D
08:18 🔗 namespace We could try advertising on HN again.
08:18 🔗 namespace It worked last time.
08:18 🔗 namespace And it'll probably work this time, because Reader is another thing that they're throwing a hissy fit about.
08:18 🔗 namespace (Just like they were about posterous.)
08:19 🔗 arrith1 namespace: i hope so. ivan is going to post when the time is opportune. hopefully he'll link it around here so we can vote it up
08:19 🔗 Smiley Feel free.
08:19 🔗 namespace arrith1: "When the time is opportune" what the fuck are we waiting for exactly?
08:20 🔗 namespace We've got a week.
08:20 🔗 namespace Unless you mean in a few hours when it's peak posting time.
08:20 🔗 arrith1 namespace: things are more likely to hit the front page when posted at certain times of the day
08:20 🔗 arrith1 namespace: that
08:21 🔗 ivan` https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5937296 posted
08:24 🔗 namespace One sec and I'll upvote.
08:31 🔗 namespace (So you're not left hanging, I *did* upvote a few minutes ago.)
08:31 🔗 namespace Needs more love if anybodies going to see it.
08:31 🔗 Smiley upvoted.
09:15 🔗 turnkit godane, there really shouldn't be any holes left in the MacAddict collection, except that there are different containers for some discs. If there are any missing you can download them from here:http://4unitmaths.com/macaddictcds.html
09:15 🔗 turnkit http://4unitmaths.com/macaddictcds.html
09:16 🔗 turnkit I should have all the others (except perhaps for some "special issue discs") but the rest should be on that site if you want to upload them to IA
09:20 🔗 turnkit Let me know if others are missing. I should have uploaded all the others to fos.textfiles.com. Honestly I can't remember where I left it. I need to bug Jason more about getting a new password to upload to him.
09:24 🔗 godane how do you open these things up?
09:25 🔗 godane its in 4 parts and its .toast.partN like files
09:30 🔗 BlueMax you put it in a toaster
09:31 🔗 godane i know it uses toaster on the mac
09:31 🔗 godane but how do i uncompress it on linux
09:32 🔗 BlueMax ...I'm sorry
09:33 🔗 godane let me guess
09:33 🔗 godane it can't be done on linux at all
09:33 🔗 godane it will get upload by someone anyways
09:34 🔗 GLaDOS Hint: toast is a dvd archive format, I think.
09:34 🔗 GLaDOS Should be some linux alternative
09:35 🔗 GLaDOS Google returns nothing..
09:35 🔗 Danneh_ Toast is only used by some weird proprietary program, isn't it?
09:39 🔗 GLaDOS A Roxio program, and some other ISO program that is free.
09:42 🔗 turnkit I had to download Stuffit for Windows and recreate them. Rename the .toast to .iso and try burning / converting it.
09:43 🔗 turnkit *recreate = uncompress
09:43 🔗 turnkit I wanted to get all of them in the same format, using the same ripper (I was just using Windows imgburn.)
09:43 🔗 turnkit And then try to get all the scans from the same scanner at the same, res.
09:44 🔗 turnkit I got frustrated when I finally found a guy to send me 2004-2006 -- the only one's I was missing -- and the USPS delivered them to the wrong address and they got lost.
09:44 🔗 turnkit I stopped looking.
09:44 🔗 turnkit But I check ebay once in a while for the missing discs.
09:45 🔗 turnkit Send me an email and I'll send you my spreadsheet of the MacAddicts if you want.
09:45 🔗 turnkit It's hard to know exactly what issues had sleeves and which didn't.
09:45 🔗 turnkit That and how many "special" issues there were.
09:46 🔗 turnkit He used .toast b/c that's the standard Mac format (ugh.)
09:46 🔗 turnkit "standard" meaning most popular
09:46 🔗 turnkit Of course Apple Disk Utility can burn an .iso now, but I'm not sure that was always the case.
14:38 🔗 SketchCow Let me raise hell about the google reader thing.
14:38 🔗 SketchCow What's the google reader channel here.
14:39 🔗 ivan` #donereading
14:39 🔗 ivan` we're not even close to getting all of it
14:45 🔗 ivan` so far 31M feeds, biased towards a few sites and the feeds that show up in Feed Directory
14:45 🔗 ivan` there's gotta be at least 100M that can be reached easily
14:52 🔗 Schbirid 145GB of hem.passagen.se homepages, not checked but should be pretty complete: https://archive.org/search.php?query=hem.passagen.se
14:53 🔗 namespace Did Ivan ever post that HN article?
14:53 🔗 ivan` I commented but did not post
14:53 🔗 Smiley if it's not in the warrior.....
14:53 🔗 namespace When did you plan on doing it?
14:53 🔗 ivan` greader has enough capacity, I need another upload target, more URLs
14:54 🔗 Smiley underscor: can you provide upload targets for ivan`
14:55 🔗 ivan` I need shell on them to set everything up and monitor
14:55 🔗 Smiley ....
14:55 🔗 Smiley well thats not going to happen :/
14:55 🔗 Schbirid if i upload feed urls, can i be sure that you forget about their grouping but just throw them into your big bucket? i am a bit privacy attached
14:57 🔗 ivan` Schbirid: I parse out the xmlUrl=".*?"s, you can corrupt the file as much as you want
14:58 🔗 Schbirid oh it would be a list of plain urls, i am not using google reader myself
14:58 🔗 ivan` sort -R can do a random sort
14:58 🔗 Schbirid i meant the "one person -> these feeds" insight into my kinky sexual preferences
14:59 🔗 ivan` well, I'm not sharing the files with anybody
14:59 🔗 ivan` but I'm not glomming them together automatically either
14:59 🔗 ivan` when they're imported into the database they'll be in alphabetical order
15:00 🔗 ivan` namespace: I guess now would be a good time
15:01 🔗 ivan` should I put anything in there that isn't in my comment?
15:04 🔗 ersi Schbirid: You did the hem.passagen.se grab? :o neat
15:05 🔗 Schbirid ersi: was super easy and zero maintenance so yeah :)
15:05 🔗 ersi 145GB is suprisingly large for that small hosting site
15:05 🔗 Smiley my pouet grab is still going ;)
15:05 🔗 ivan` namespace: maybe I should wait a day to avoid dupe'ing my last comment so soon?
15:05 🔗 Smiley 285Gb :D
15:05 🔗 ivan` namespace: a bunch of other stuff is much higher priority
15:07 🔗 namespace ivan`: Like?
15:08 🔗 ivan` need to set up my every-site-at-once URL extraction
15:08 🔗 ersi namespace: Like getting another upload target, acquiring more target/feed URLs
15:08 🔗 namespace ersi: Well then how do I help with that?
15:09 🔗 ivan` search for things to add to http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Google_Reader
15:09 🔗 ivan` we also still don't have a livejournal friend spider
15:09 🔗 ersi namespace: Come join us in #donereading by the way. It's the "Google Reading grab"-channel
15:10 🔗 ersi s/Reading/Reader/
19:00 🔗 omf_ I started a pad for factoids that a brand new archive team member would need to know http://pad.archivingyoursh.it/p/things_you_should_know
19:04 🔗 winr4r i'll add ideas to the bottom as i think of them
19:04 🔗 winr4r etherpad is kind of neat
19:12 🔗 omf_ yeah I am glad we have pad and paste
23:41 🔗 ivan` is there some way to make the curl -> IA S3 upload go faster on a server in Europe?
23:42 🔗 ivan` make_tcp_not_slow=1 ;)
