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
