[03:02] <primus__> Sorry if it's been asked before, but which project currently needs the most help?
[03:03] <trs80> primus: yahoo/wretch - see #shipwretched
[03:03] <primus__> thank you
[09:55] <SketchCow> What.
[09:55] <SketchCow> Sorry, I'm in and out due to holidays
[11:15] <Nemo_bis> SketchCow: we're trying to download 38 TB of Yahoo! stuff, in just two more days
[11:17] <Nemo_bis> Currently only 157 users helping and we'd need to get at least ten times as fast as we are now (which in practice means we need ten times more IPs).
[11:23] <n00b294> sleeping error is very annoying :(
[11:25] <Nemo_bis> yes :<
[11:25] <n00b294> its a shame we won't succeed if this continues.. better luck next time hopefully
[11:26] <BlueMax> we can't let yahoo win! D:
[11:30] <n00b294> we should raid their headquarters probably and just steal the hard disks?
[11:31] <BlueMax> we need to find the bitchinest mercenaries we can find
[11:34] <n00b294> yeah! lets kickstart it :p
[16:19] <SketchCow> I can try and get more warriors involved.
[16:19] <SketchCow> But we know it's doomed. Yahoo! has slowdowns.
[16:31] <turnip> I'll be getting some Warrior VMs up when I get off my ass and build my VM infrastructure at home
[17:03] <SketchCow> -----------------------------------------
[17:03] <SketchCow> JUST WANTED TO MENTION
[17:03] <SketchCow> ARCHIVETEAM UPLOAD OF HP.COM HAS MADE INTERNET ARCHIVE ADD A COLUMN TO THEIR DATABASE
[17:03] <SketchCow> GREAT WORK ARCHIVETEAM
[17:03] <SketchCow> -----------------------------------------
[17:03] <SketchCow> Column in question: Someone uploaded a two terabyte item.
[17:04] <SketchCow> Disclaimer: Please try to avoid uploading two terabyte items
[17:04] <SketchCow> But it blew out the size column, they had to make a new one with bigint
[17:04] <Baljem> *thumbs up*
[17:04] <BlueMax> that's hilariously awesome.
[17:05] <Baljem> also, I love IA's attitude.  not "which fucking idiot uploaded a 2TB item?  split it up", but just "ah, hmm, we'd better fix that"
[17:06] <BlueMax> "you don't mess with the MESS"
[17:10] <DFJustin> it's almost christmas, won't you think of the poor database programmers
[17:14] <SketchCow> Well, they have generally used archiveteam and my schennanigans to fix holes we keep finding.
[17:14] <SketchCow> When I started there, it was considered that uploading more than 5gb was the limit.
[17:15] <DFJustin> it still says that in the faq somewhere I think
[17:15] <Baljem> hmm, Archiveteam has a habit of finding little holes or limitations; not just at IA, either, but the sites we hit when we go all-out on a big job
[17:15] <Baljem> perhaps we should think about hiring ourselves out as a site stress-test in a box ;)
[17:17] <chavezery> ddos enemies with archival :o
[17:25] <Nemo_bis> ahem, sorry for that
[17:26] * Nemo_bis feels very guilty but didn't expect that site to be so big and got tired
[17:33] <DFJustin> I'm more amazed the upload went through
[17:46] <SketchCow> And, as usual, archive.org is down.
[17:46] <SketchCow> Because the table manipulation is now taking too long and it broke the DB connections limit.
[17:48] <DFJustin> I'm glad I don't have to be on call for that particular millennium falcon
[17:50] <Nemo_bis> well, I used size-hint!
[17:53] <xmc> here, have a gold star
[18:00] <SketchCow> Backed off.
[18:00] <SketchCow> They killed the update.
[18:01] <SketchCow> Because the guy just doesn't know what he's doing.
[18:01] <SketchCow> He's my least favorite guy
[18:01] <SketchCow> I shouldn't be saying this in this channel
[18:01] <xmc> merry christmas!
[18:01] <SketchCow> He's taken IA down 5 times.
[18:01] <SketchCow> That I know of.
[18:01] <SketchCow> So, look.
[18:01] <SketchCow> Who wants to help me with this thing I'm doing for tomorrow.
[18:01] <SketchCow> Because I think I really need help now that we're in the realm of it's fucking christmas eve.
[18:02] <SketchCow> (I'd been hoping to work on this a week ago.)
[18:15] <SketchCow> Who has TIME TODAY TO WORK ON CONSOLE GAMES BEING ON INTERNET ARCHIVE
[18:15] <SketchCow> Come to #livingroom
