00:51 🔗 SketchCow Coders, I have a question.
00:51 🔗 SketchCow Or, a request, etc.
00:51 🔗 SketchCow I spent some time with xmc discussing something we could do to make things easier around here.
00:51 🔗 SketchCow What we came up with is a trigger for a bot, which can be triggered by people with ops.
00:52 🔗 SketchCow You tell it a website. It crawls it. WARC. Uploads it to archive.org. Boom.
00:52 🔗 SketchCow I can supply machine as needed.
00:52 🔗 SketchCow Obviously there's some sanitation issues, and it is root all the way down or nothing.
00:52 🔗 SketchCow I think that would help a lot for smaller sites
00:52 🔗 SketchCow Sites where it's 100 pages or 1000 pages even, pretty simple.
00:52 🔗 SketchCow And just being able to go "bot, get a sanity dump"
02:41 🔗 dashcloud I'd like to promote Musopen's new Kickstarter campaign to release all of the works of Chopin into public domain (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Musopen/set-chopin-free) Their previous campaign (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Musopen/record-and-release-free-music-without-copyrights) is available on IA here: https://archive.org/details/musopen
02:42 🔗 omf_ Give money to Musopen
02:42 🔗 omf_ they are doing god's work
02:47 🔗 DFJustin can I get an amen
02:48 🔗 BlueMax ah-men.
02:48 🔗 BlueMax halelujah.
03:59 🔗 SketchCow Promote it in -bs next time.
05:14 🔗 yipdw so, here's a start
05:14 🔗 yipdw https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ArchiveBot
05:14 🔗 yipdw (no, it doesn't actually archive yet, but it is a bot that responds and tracks requests)
05:22 🔗 SketchCow It would be good for it to log the efforts, and disallow people trying to do it over again, saying it was done.
05:26 🔗 yipdw yep
05:26 🔗 yipdw https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ArchiveBot/issues/2
05:33 🔗 SketchCow Appreciated
13:33 🔗 godane so i found out the hd mp4 video i downloaded of episode 261 of tekzilla is screwed up
13:34 🔗 godane so thats at least 2 videos i have found video freeze then audio to go out of sync
13:52 🔗 godane so the hd webm format also has this bug
13:52 🔗 godane going to get the large mp4 video now
13:55 🔗 godane so looks like they all will have that problem
14:10 🔗 godane for episode 261
14:13 🔗 godane i'm going to download the small mp4 of episode 261 to see that one doesn't have the problem
14:58 🔗 godane hey Famicoma
16:19 🔗 balrog someone, grab these and archive: https://forums.spout.org/threads/you-can-haz-all-the-jars.8040/
16:20 🔗 balrog only a week to go
16:29 🔗 tephra balrog: on it
21:51 🔗 Dark_Star If I want to upload scans of some issues of a magazine, would that be a a) new collection with each issue being an item? or would that be b) one item with all issues attached to it?
21:52 🔗 DFJustin a
21:53 🔗 DFJustin that's how everything else is being done, and the archive.org ui sucks for multiple files on a text item
21:53 🔗 Dark_Star yeah, I noticed that. so how do I create a new collection? simply specify it when uploading an item? will it be created on the fly?
21:54 🔗 DFJustin pester jason or info@archive.org once you've uploaded a bunch of things
21:54 🔗 Dark_Star so I'll first upload them without any collection?
21:54 🔗 DFJustin community texts
21:55 🔗 Dark_Star okay
21:56 🔗 DFJustin are these computer related magazines
21:56 🔗 Dark_Star not really, no :) I know there's a collection for these
21:56 🔗 Dark_Star it's japanese street fashion magazines from around 1997-2001 (issues 1-50)
21:56 🔗 DFJustin cool
21:58 🔗 Dark_Star mostly crazy full-page pictures from Harajuku, quite funny to look at. I don't even remember where I got these from, or why, but I wanted to upload them before the CD-R fails
21:59 🔗 Dark_Star but first I have to finish the Linux uploads to omf_'s FTP :)
22:00 🔗 DFJustin jason has also been putting together https://archive.org/details/magazine_rack for general magazines
22:00 🔗 Dark_Star I wonder if it's okay to upload the magazine PDFs... the uploader is quite clear that I should only upload stuff that I have the right to share.... But I guess Jason will take a look at them and disable them if he deems it neccessary, right?
22:02 🔗 DFJustin pretty much
22:02 🔗 DFJustin I really doubt anyone will care
22:04 🔗 Dark_Star yeah, probably
