01:54 πŸ”— SketchCow Upload fastr, 78gb tumor!
04:48 πŸ”— yipdw anyone want to try out the patch.com grabber?
04:48 πŸ”— yipdw it's a bit, uh, prototypical
04:49 πŸ”— yipdw but it does seem to work (for me)
04:49 πŸ”— yipdw in particular, I've not tried it with the Warrior, but the whole thing is based on seesaw
04:49 πŸ”— DFJustin <SketchCow> I wonder what collection to shove it in. <-- https://archive.org/details/wikileaksarchive
04:50 πŸ”— SketchCow Done
04:53 πŸ”— DFJustin I don't think this one is on IA either https://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/7050943/WikiLeaks_Insurance_release_02-22-2012
07:43 πŸ”— SmileyG yipdw: I can give it a punch....
07:44 πŸ”— SmileyG shall we go to #cabbagepatch ?
07:44 πŸ”— yipdw SmileyG: yeah
10:12 πŸ”— Tephra ersi: yes insurance A and B downloaded C is going to take a while.....
10:13 πŸ”— ersi Tephra: SketchCow's downloading them to IA btw
10:15 πŸ”— Tephra ersi: Oh nice then I don't neew to get C then :P
10:35 πŸ”— ersi https://www.facebook.com/microsofttag/posts/10151516485761533
10:35 πŸ”— ersi IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS: This August 19, 2013 notice is to inform our Microsoft Tag customers that the Microsoft Tag service will terminate in two years, on August 19, 2015. This 2 year termination notice is required per our Terms of Use for the Microsoft Tag Service located at this link: http://tag.microsoft.com/tag-terms-of-use.aspx, Per Section 2 - Availability of Service; Changes to the Agreement & Service, paragraph 2.1.
10:36 πŸ”— ersi Microsofts version of "QR-codes" apparently
10:36 πŸ”— ersi Tag was, of course, Microsoft's version of the QR code. It used color pixels, which meant it could encode more information in the same space. Unfortunately, the way it's designed, every barcode is just an ID number that points at a Microsoft server, which then forwards the client to the actual URL. Once these servers shut down, every Tag code ever used will break forever.
10:52 πŸ”— SmileyG well at least they've given lots of notice.
11:24 πŸ”— Ymgve any barcode system that requires an online component should burn
11:24 πŸ”— Ymgve QR got it right by being self-contained
11:25 πŸ”— Ymgve (though the actual QR design is insanely overengineered)
11:26 πŸ”— SmileyG nod./
11:26 πŸ”— SmileyG but this is MS, they wanted to track who was using what.
11:26 πŸ”— SmileyG how better, than controling the translation.
11:28 πŸ”— besc Oh come on
11:28 πŸ”— besc They just wanted in on the money
11:29 πŸ”— Ymgve should have the best of both worlds - encode a raw URL but in rot13 which the tracking server helpfully de-rot13s for you
11:50 πŸ”— ponas rot13 is terribly insecure. where I live, we have 29 characters in the alphabet, which means the last three end up unencrypted!! :O
11:59 πŸ”— SmileyG :D
12:10 πŸ”— ersi ponas: ΓƒΒ₯Àââââââ
16:51 πŸ”— yipdw for people who are willing to run seesaw scripts outside the AT Warrior: we could use your help in #cabbagepatch
18:13 πŸ”— arkhive Does anyone have the klik.me bash wget script I wrote by any chance?
18:30 πŸ”— arkhive btw, I have some high res scans of old WebTV manuals and such. I still need to upload it to IA. Though, I may have used a dpi higher than what they were printed as. It's over 2GB
18:33 πŸ”— arkhive And I need to do some cleaning up of the scans. Like rotation, sizing/cropping, rename scanned images and maybe put them together in a neatly organized .pdf
