00:20 🔗 tsp__ I went and tried to mirror gcommarchive.com. Someone else already have it, or should I put it somewhere? The wget mirror/warc is ~3.8G
00:23 🔗 DFJustin upload to an archive.org item
00:24 🔗 tsp__ Which part, just a tar containing all of it?
00:30 🔗 DFJustin the warc file specifically
00:30 🔗 DFJustin tar of the files is optional
00:31 🔗 DFJustin once uploaded, tell us the url and an admin can move it to the archive team collection for ingestion into the wayback machine
00:33 🔗 tsp__ Ok. Can I upload the warc and the tar of the rest of it in the same item? I first need to create my account, so I'll go do that. I haven't done this before, so sorry for all the dumb newbie questions
00:33 🔗 DFJustin yes
00:33 🔗 DFJustin here's one I prepared earlier https://archive.org/details/www.pooterman.com-20130824
00:34 🔗 DFJustin cdx files are not needed as those are auto-generated by archive.org
00:49 🔗 tsp__ The ftp page says they only have one ftp server and it's deprecated. That seems like the most efficient way to upload stuff, is there something better now?
00:50 🔗 DFJustin the new web uploader uses html5 and works pretty well, for command line there is an s3-alike interface
00:50 🔗 DFJustin https://archive.org/help/abouts3.txt
00:53 🔗 tsp__ Awesome. What's the policy on abandonware/copyrighted stuff/etc? I assume if I upload something bad, someone will remove it? I'd think this site should be fine, but I haven't really looked at it to see what it contains
00:54 🔗 DFJustin your assumption is accurate
00:56 🔗 xmc if you upload something verboten, it'll be hidden after someone complains
01:02 🔗 tsp__ I'll have to use the s3 api since it's on a linux box. Is there a recommended tool?
01:07 🔗 DFJustin https://pypi.python.org/pypi/internetarchive
01:26 🔗 tsp__ Is there an interface for editing item metadata on the site once I upload it? I really don't want to try specifying it all via commandline in one shot
01:27 🔗 dashcloud yes there is
01:42 🔗 SketchCow That tool is good for changing metadata on items you own.
01:42 🔗 SketchCow Seriously, get it.
01:52 🔗 SketchCow It works well and I'm on top of the team to make it even better.
03:34 🔗 tsp__ Uploaded. Hopefully I did it right. https://archive.org/details/www.gcommarchive.com-20140125
03:57 🔗 dashcloud so, I'm not totally sure, but I think AOL's broken/removed all the file links on their service- the library and the descriptions are still there, but files always say not available
04:53 🔗 DFJustin tsp__: looks ok to me
04:53 🔗 tsp__ I assume it's up to an admin to move it out of books?
04:54 🔗 DFJustin yes
06:03 🔗 SketchCow Moved.
06:03 🔗 SketchCow Wish it had better metadata.
06:04 🔗 tsp__ What metadata could be better?
06:08 🔗 SketchCow Description of what it is, etc.
06:14 🔗 tsp__ I'm not very good at describing things
06:22 🔗 tsp__ I suppose I can try, though
07:09 🔗 tsp__ SketchCow: Added a description. I wasn't sure whether the Universal Interactive, LLC. near the end of the homepage is the creator, so left it alone. I can fix that if needed.
08:52 🔗 GLaDOS Did anyone find a way to grab the designs off of Cloud Party?
11:11 🔗 danneh_ Huh, canv.as is shutting down
12:50 🔗 rduser http://i.imgur.com/kXZZc3w.png
12:50 🔗 rduser Canv.as shutting down
12:51 🔗 rduser oh, gone already it seems :c
15:56 🔗 ersi rduser: Yeah, SketchCow is in the cahoots with moot
16:01 🔗 SketchCow cah moot
19:28 🔗 ersi the point is.. moot.
20:11 🔗 SadDM Can I get an adult to move https://archive.org/details/troll_lord_games_forum-20140127 for me?
20:15 🔗 ersi SketchCow: ^
20:26 🔗 SketchCow Done
20:31 🔗 SadDM Woo... thanks SketchCow.
20:56 🔗 SketchCo1 http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/interface-exhibition-artwork-geocities-deleted-city-and-the-future-of-interfaces-to-digital-collections/
21:01 🔗 ersi arkiver: It's not like there's a lot of great indexes to view, if you aren't logged in to FB
21:01 🔗 arkiver ersi: well, there are a lot of public accounts to be viewed when not logged in...
22:22 🔗 SketchCow It's nice when we get news OUTSIDE of Archive Team.
22:22 🔗 SketchCow https://archive.org/details/giganews
22:22 🔗 SketchCow Giganews is going to mirror all text newsgroups they have, going back as far as they have, at Internet Archive.
22:24 🔗 Jonimus Nice!
22:29 🔗 ersi Awesome!
22:38 🔗 SketchCow Just grabbed one. yep. 2003.
22:38 🔗 SketchCow So 2003-2013. That one's in the bag.
22:39 🔗 DFJustin hmm I never noticed this https://archive.org/details/usenethistorical
22:40 🔗 SketchCow it JUST got moved there.
22:40 🔗 SketchCow It was the other one.
22:40 🔗 SketchCow It's in both places.
22:40 🔗 SketchCow Brewster thing, he wanted it.
22:41 🔗 DFJustin if you're putting all the usenet stuff together there's also http://archive.org/details/ancientfj-2004-10-18
22:44 🔗 SketchCow Done
22:46 🔗 DFJustin oh wow the usenethistorical stuff is really extensive
22:46 🔗 DFJustin alt.barney.dinosaur.die.die.die 2012-1993
23:12 🔗 godane so i found a night line episode from 2003
23:15 🔗 godane so i found some full episodes from 2000 also
23:18 🔗 godane looks like the only reason these episodes exist is cause they uploaded them in 2009
23:40 🔗 closure oh wow. these go back to 1986, and up to 2003 or so
23:40 🔗 closure looks a lot like a google rip to me :)
23:55 🔗 * closure anticipates some fun in 2021 if I keep olduse.net going
