08:45 🔗 yipdw ivan`: I may take you up on that offer at some point
08:46 🔗 Konata_ yipdw: you might not be the right person to ask, but do you know how far arkiver got with wallbase?
08:47 🔗 Konata_ or at least where he/she's at right now
08:48 🔗 Konata_ actually hold that thought. bed
08:54 🔗 joepie91 lol
08:55 🔗 ivan` yipdw: the only copy is on an ext4 drive on a SATA link that flakes out and frequently causes ext4 corruption. just fyi.
08:55 🔗 ivan` hasn't ruined any of my data though, afaik
08:56 🔗 ivan` I just have to hit 'y' to fsck a bunch of times when I reboot
08:56 🔗 ivan` it's a CentOS machine so no ext4 metadata checksums either :)

21:25 🔗 DFJustin language should be set to russian
21:28 🔗 Nemo_bis SketchCow: how bad is it if I have a few hundreds waiting archive.php jobs?
21:34 🔗 SketchCow No
21:34 🔗 SketchCow We've experienced slowdowns and weirdness as we've been running into this and that problem, so it can happen.
21:35 🔗 SketchCow Also, you are jamming an ENORMOUS amount of material in.
21:35 🔗 SketchCow But you're fighting TV, in this case. TV is playing catchup.
21:36 🔗 DFJustin yeah I saw a shitload of tv jobs in the backlog
21:37 🔗 SketchCow I don't know what the issue was, but I think it was something like one of the servers took over a bunch of jobs and then died out.
21:37 🔗 SketchCow So the logjam hit
21:38 🔗 SketchCow What I will see on internal channels is some of the other jason-like folks at the archive asking for being pushed up past the queue to get something out because they have an end-user entity who needs it done.
21:38 🔗 DFJustin in other news I'm continually astounded by how many countries they are recording tv from
21:38 🔗 DFJustin how do you even get an omani tv feed
21:38 🔗 SketchCow Like if you're a library and we're absorbing shit, we don't want you to be waiting.
21:38 🔗 SketchCow Archive Team's massive scrape of all wikis can wait a few days.
21:38 🔗 SketchCow DFJustin: Satellite, all I can say
21:38 🔗 SketchCow that's how they do it, multiple dishes on different buildings
22:06 🔗 godane DFJustin: i fixed my metadata with that and my lki collection
22:07 🔗 godane i was using the lki script and i didn't set it to russian there either
22:07 🔗 godane anyways i put the month it was release also
22:08 🔗 Nemo_bis ok thanks, indeed there's no urgency for my items but I like to make things less bad for the system when I manage
22:24 🔗 SketchCow So, I just got heated up about the shredding of documents in the NY state library system.
22:24 🔗 SketchCow Next week is going to be interesting.
22:24 🔗 SketchCow My tweets are full of them
22:25 🔗 godane this is something that should be archived: http://academictorrents.com/
22:25 🔗 godane it just was on torrentfreak
22:25 🔗 godane they say 1.5PB is on it
22:41 🔗 Nemo_bis how much of that do they actually have/seed
22:42 🔗 gargle WHAT FORSOOTH, PRITHEE TELL ME THE SECRET WORD
22:43 🔗 SketchCow yahoosucks
22:43 🔗 SketchCow GO FORTH AND MAKE THE CHANGES, SIRRAH
22:43 🔗 gargle that it does.
22:44 🔗 yipdw I'm waiting for the first person to get really offended by yahoosucks
22:46 🔗 SketchCow They don't get to stay.
23:21 🔗 DFJustin SketchCow: reminder that canada is doing the same thing http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/01/12/thats_no_way_to_treat_a_library_scientists_say.html
23:22 🔗 DFJustin looks like the ship has sailed on that one already though
23:24 🔗 SadDM As a GoC employee that makes me a million kinds of sad... I should go down to our library and see what's happening down there.
23:32 🔗 Nemo_bis SketchCow: do they reach echostar satellites too? Italy's state TV has 4+1 satellites over USA http://www.rai.it/dl/RaiInternazionale/diffusione/satelliti/index.shtml
23:33 🔗 Nemo_bis hm is this DISH free or what
23:58 🔗 dashcloud with the new businesscase collection, maybe the libreoffice team can continue their implementation of ancient document formats: http://fridrich.blogspot.com/2013/06/libreoffice-import-filter-for-legacy.html
