[17:11] And given there is a lawsuit against them, probably not too soon [17:35] *** X-Scale` has joined #internetarchive [17:42] *** X-Scale has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [17:42] *** X-Scale` is now known as X-Scale [18:28] *** britmob has joined #internetarchive [18:28] *** britmob_ has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [20:04] What's "austerity mode"? :o [20:08] OrIdow6: now explained at https://help.archive.org/hc/en-us/articles/360016554912-Borrowing-From-The-Lending-Library-A-Basic-Guide [20:09] Nemo_bis: "Reduce your data uploads please, we're trying to make sure that we can keep the existing data safe even if the situation gets even worse." or similar. [20:11] JAA: Ok. The number of uploads seems back to normal though. [21:07] Who knew "OpenArchive is a free, open-source mobile application that securely uploads media content created on mobile phones to an online archive that is publicly accessible, helping ensure that journalists, activists, and citizens in repressive contexts are able to preserve media before it can be deleted or censored by authorities. " [21:07] https://www.opentech.fund/results/supported-projects/openarchive/ [21:09] heh https://github.com/OpenArchive/Save-app-android/issues/76 [21:26] *** t3 has quit IRC (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) [21:37] *** Raccoon has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [22:37] Neat [23:01] Nemo_bis: "austerity mode" was announced by sketchcow in #archiveteam in march: [23:01] Brewster has gone into "Austerity Mode", which means he's trying to protect the Archive during an economic downturn. [23:01] He's making noise about non-essential or at least cutting down the amount of data coming in. [23:01] Therefore, I'm going to ask that for Archivebot specifically (and I'm sure there's others), we do SPECIFICALLY shutdowns and coronavirus history, and not just "seems like a good idea" [23:01] but he rescinded it in may: [23:01] So, WITHIN REASON [23:01] We can do speculative grabs again [23:01] Like, grab items you are concerned about, at least, even if shutdown isn't imminent [23:01] But stop people from ridiculous moronic "I sure do like slashdot, let's archive slashdot" bullshit. [23:01] "I saved ebay" [23:01] Thanks to the efforts of multiple people, and saved disk space, things are not as dire [23:01] wessel152: ^ [23:03] 'I has saves Forknight!!!! did I do it rite?' :p [23:03] thanks for the info [23:04] it was more a question of is it ok to upload to the internet archive [23:06] but the answer seems to me that it can but not too much plz [23:09] for the time being i have the storage space to store all my archives [23:12] What is it and how much? [23:14] blog.nl 800 GB and growing [23:17] still online only no post sins April 2018 [23:39] Nemo_bis: That explains it, then
