00:14 🔗 underscor DFJustin: We did that with a copy of the first bbc website, just with a warc note regarding the source
00:15 🔗 underscor (did that = put a fake "warc" scraped from a newly hosted copy with fake computer date)
03:15 🔗 Samizdat In light of the Team's taking down the Aaron Swartz Memorial JSTOR downloader, probably on government hints that more Swartz-like "suicides" might be in the offing, I suggest a name change: Arkanside Team.
03:18 🔗 exmic yeah we're all quaking in our boots
03:19 🔗 Samizdat evidently
03:19 🔗 exmic what the hell are you talking about anyway
03:19 🔗 Samizdat yawn
03:26 🔗 ivan` some kind of conspiracy about http://aaronsw.archiveteam.org/ being down?
03:28 🔗 yipdw OH SHIT GUYS SERVER OFFLINE
03:28 🔗 yipdw MUST HAVE BEEN THE FEDS
03:28 🔗 yipdw HIDE
03:29 🔗 Samizdat There was to be an archive of all contributors' snags -- never materialized, because the site went down without a peep.
03:29 🔗 yipdw actually, putting up that DHS "we own you" graphic for aaronsw.archiveteam.org would be kinda funny
03:29 🔗 Samizdat Naw, feds not necessary when fear of feds suffices.
03:31 🔗 yipdw to be a bit more serious, I think that since you raised the topic, whoever is responsible for running that will probably speak up and provide an update on its current status
03:31 🔗 yipdw recommended action is chillin'
03:31 🔗 Samizdat Should, yes. Will? Doubtful, after a year or more down.
03:33 🔗 yipdw well, you are the first person to pop in here and ask
03:33 🔗 yipdw in quite a while
03:34 🔗 yipdw that tends to get things going
03:38 🔗 Samizdat I'm not surprised, considering cozy relationship between shitbag "university" MIT and State repression apparatus.
03:39 🔗 yipdw not sure what that has to do with an offline server, but ok
03:40 🔗 exmic well, you know, quaking in our boots.
03:40 🔗 Samizdat An MIT "academic" drops a hint at a cocktail party, next thing you know, hmmm, I'll be damned, the JSTOR downloader's gone.
03:41 🔗 exmic dollars to doughnuts, it's because sysadminning is hard
03:42 🔗 exmic but, you know, think whatever you want
03:44 🔗 yipdw underscor: were you running aaronsw.archiveteam.org?
03:46 🔗 underscor ah yeah, that was me
03:46 🔗 underscor the box is probably just fucked
03:46 🔗 underscor and I forgot about it
03:46 🔗 yipdw (1) what happened to it, (2) what happened to the data
03:46 🔗 underscor no cloak and dagger, afaik
03:46 🔗 underscor vps probably rebooted, and nginx failed to come up.
03:46 🔗 underscor data should just be chillin' there still
03:46 🔗 * underscor goes to poke at it
03:47 🔗 yipdw little-known fact: underscor actually works for the FBI
03:48 🔗 underscor and the chinese
03:48 🔗 underscor odd/even days, you see
03:48 🔗 underscor I have different hats
03:48 🔗 yipdw literally, hats
03:50 🔗 underscor :D
03:51 🔗 Samizdat I don't recall the cat's name, was a mentor of sorts to Aaron, and putting on the Goggles is last resort. I'm thinking, "Naw, he wouldn't speak of the late hero so cavalierly."
03:54 🔗 Samizdat wrote the JSTOR Downloader code -- I only wish to hell I'd snagged it while I could
03:56 🔗 yipdw underscor's working on getting it back online, so that should be soon
03:57 🔗 Samizdat That would be swell.
05:44 🔗 DFJustin as I recall jstor removed the point of it by belatedly releasing all the public domain stuff themselves
05:44 🔗 DFJustin which is available at e.g. https://archive.org/details/jstor_ejc
05:45 🔗 Samizdat ah
05:45 🔗 DFJustin https://archive.org/details/jstor_ejc_itemlist
05:47 🔗 Samizdat what's the wayback unmodified URL for http://aaronsw.archiveteam.org/js ?
05:47 🔗 DFJustin http://web.archive.org/web/20130124234935id_/http://aaronsw.archiveteam.org/js
05:48 🔗 DFJustin I think it's the same though
05:48 🔗 Samizdat awesome
05:49 🔗 DFJustin (the cat you're thinking of is probably Jason Scott aka SketchCow)
05:49 🔗 Samizdat I've been looking at the wayback .js file for the last hour or so, and I'm by no means proficient in JavaScript, but that file looks corrupt.
05:50 🔗 Samizdat Jason, that's he.
05:50 🔗 ivan` what looks corrupt about it?
05:51 🔗 Samizdat extra carriage returns and broken lines
05:52 🔗 ivan` can you paste a broken line?
05:52 🔗 Samizdat stand by
06:01 🔗 SketchCow All hail the cat
06:01 🔗 Samizdat my error on the broken line, and I may be off on "extra carriage returns," which is what I'm calling one-line gaps between sections of code -- mayhaps I've been away from JavaScript longer than I thought
06:01 🔗 Samizdat howdy Mr. Scott
06:02 🔗 Samizdat and long live Aaron
06:03 🔗 SketchCow Hey.
06:03 🔗 SketchCow So, I am sure people haven't make this clear, but:
06:03 🔗 SketchCow You're an idiot.
06:03 🔗 SketchCow I'm going to go play an Xbox game because it will be more satisfying than the next 30 minutes of reading whatever you're about to say.
06:04 🔗 SketchCow Like, 10x more satisfying.
06:04 🔗 SketchCow Enjoyable.
06:04 🔗 Samizdat Get on with it then.
06:15 🔗 ivan` there's vertical whitespace in pretty much all code
06:45 🔗 exmic wait
06:45 🔗 exmic is this a serious conversation
06:45 🔗 exmic because it's completely off-topic
06:46 🔗 Samizdat moved to bravo sierra
07:04 🔗 SketchCow https://archive.org/details/iaredesignconceptpresentation
07:21 🔗 amerrykan anyone going to linuxfest northwest this weekend
07:27 🔗 SketchCow Sadly, no.
07:28 🔗 amerrykan SketchCow: do you make it up this way often
07:28 🔗 SketchCow I was in Seattle for, like, 4 days recently, but it was primarily to speak at a conference.
07:28 🔗 SketchCow I had an open dinner on the Sunday and the rest of the days were spoken for
07:28 🔗 amerrykan i'll have to keep an eye on the channel more often
07:29 🔗 Samizdat Adios
07:33 🔗 SketchCow And another conspiracy theorist blasts down the shitter.
07:34 🔗 SketchCow It's like, fucking do shit, don't sit around inventing bullshit.
07:34 🔗 SketchCow We get shit done around here, not throw out random scattershot halfwitticisms
07:35 🔗 amerrykan i need to get decent with the terminal and scripting in a hurry
07:35 🔗 SketchCow Or blame it on 9/11, if you want
07:35 🔗 yipdw the archiveteam warrior is a zionist conspiracy
07:36 🔗 midas I still find it funny some people think the 9/11 attacks were in november.
07:36 🔗 amerrykan at least that makes sense
07:37 🔗 amerrykan and there's a reason for it
07:37 🔗 midas that's because the US uses a strange date format, i know.
07:38 🔗 midas same as weight and measurements
07:39 🔗 midas anyway, we should move that discussion to -bs
07:41 🔗 SketchCow ALL DISCUSSIONS
07:57 🔗 SketchCow NEVER DISCUSS ANYTHING IN HERE AGAIN
07:57 🔗 SketchCow It should be shell script lines and links to Yahoo! press releases
07:59 🔗 midas what about funny pictures from Yahoo! sysadmins?
08:03 🔗 SketchCow http://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ill_allow_it_community.gif
08:14 🔗 midas ok, just one: http://i.imgur.com/tH96Rnn.gif <-- yahoo sysadmin cleaning geocities
09:59 🔗 Nemo_bis Uh?http://aws.clouddesignpattern.org/
