00:35 🔗 DFJustin wonder if dcurtis would be willing to kick ia some money
00:50 🔗 pikhq Can't hurt to ask.
01:00 🔗 godane so 2010 videos of twit is uploaded to IA now
01:18 🔗 signius is there any specific firewall ports i need to open for the archiveteam grab scripts to work ? I am getting sync errors
01:24 🔗 signius ok sorted
01:32 🔗 signius I should have watched the output on the 2nd box running the grab scripts for a while longer & i would have spotted the rsync error
02:27 🔗 TFGBD Sup
02:27 🔗 TFGBD So, I just found this Phonebook on CD from 1996
02:27 🔗 TFGBD What should I do with it?
03:17 🔗 cloudmons TFGBD: Rip the CD and upload to a collection on archive.org?
03:19 🔗 Stiletto hello!
03:21 🔗 TFGBD So I have to rip it the "right" way
03:22 🔗 TFGBD I know some commmunities (BetaArchive) are really picky about how you image the CD...
03:30 🔗 garyrh ddrescue is good: http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue
03:49 🔗 TFGBD I was reccomended Alcohol 120%
03:49 🔗 namespace TFGBD: How does that work?
03:49 🔗 TFGBD I'll dig up the guide if I can find it again
03:50 🔗 TFGBD They seem really picky about not using ISO because it won't preserve all the tracks or other physical layers
03:53 🔗 aaaaaaaaa well, there is copy protection mechanisms that many rippers could miss, but I don't know if a phonebook cd would be as challenging
03:53 🔗 TFGBD Here it is http://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32002
03:53 🔗 TFGBD Yeah, I doubt it would be
03:53 🔗 TFGBD but they don't seem to want anything that is iso "just in case"
07:00 🔗 joepie91 TFGBD: are you on a Linux system?
07:00 🔗 joepie91 and please don't use alcohol 120%, as far as I understand it, it only supports proprietary formats
07:01 🔗 joepie91 TFGBD: if you are on Linux, https://github.com/joepie91/image-disc
07:03 🔗 joepie91 (it will use cdrdao for potential mixed-content discs, which takes care of the tracks issue)
07:06 🔗 BlueMaxim lol, alcohol 120% is still a thing?
07:09 🔗 joepie91 I still see it pop up in conversation with some regularity
07:10 🔗 joepie91 the problem is that MDS/MDF is commonly lauded around ROM communities
07:10 🔗 joepie91 because it can deal with a bunch of copy protections
07:10 🔗 joepie91 and supports multi-track
07:10 🔗 joepie91 but that completely ignores that it's a proprietary format
07:10 🔗 joepie91 which is very very bad for archival purposes
07:12 🔗 DFJustin phone book cd is practically guaranteed to be single-track, no copy protection, so iso is honestly fine but you can use bin/cue to be on the safe side
07:12 🔗 DFJustin iso is handy because archive.org lets you browse inside of it, but it can always be converted later from the other formats
07:14 🔗 DFJustin most of the hairy stuff with cd ripping comes in when there's audio tracks
07:21 🔗 joepie91 unless you've explicitly verified that it's a single-track data CD-ROM, just use bin/cue
07:21 🔗 joepie91 :P
07:44 🔗 DFJustin I usually use ImgBurn which auto-selects iso or bin/cue for you
07:59 🔗 joepie91 if it can do that, that seems like a reasonable option
07:59 🔗 joepie91 is that a default setting, DFJustin?
07:59 🔗 DFJustin I think so
07:59 🔗 joepie91 or do you need to explicitly pick autodetect somewhere
07:59 🔗 joepie91 because I'd like to have something to recommend to Windows users
07:59 🔗 joepie91 even if it's not batch
08:00 🔗 DFJustin it also gives you a sassy message if you pick iso after it chose bin/cue
08:03 🔗 joepie91 lol
08:18 🔗 BlueMaxim I read "sassy massage"
13:59 🔗 arkiver -- Downloading the read-only Halo Stats
13:59 🔗 arkiver -- Grabs will be starting very soon
13:59 🔗 arkiver -- Join us in #yolohalo
13:59 🔗 arkiver -----------------------------------------
14:21 🔗 schbirid has anyone looked at or, better yet, talked to the mapillary guys about some automated archiving?
17:15 🔗 dashcloud joepie91: I always do ISO + bin/cue for CDs I upload to IA- ISO so you can browse the CD, and bin/cue to capture any extra content/data
17:22 🔗 joepie91 that works I suppose :P
19:50 🔗 raylee joepie91, you still around?
19:51 🔗 raylee i noticed betaarchive was linked to, i'm actually a mod there
19:52 🔗 joepie91 raylee: I am
19:53 🔗 joepie91 but not for long
19:53 🔗 joepie91 :P
19:54 🔗 raylee k
20:06 🔗 raylee joepie91, the kryoflux stream format.. isn't that proprietary aswell?
20:25 🔗 DFJustin they did document it eventually
20:26 🔗 DFJustin or maybe that one was documented from the start and ipf was the one that took a while
20:27 🔗 DFJustin anyway it's known
