[00:54] *** oscar has joined #jsmess [00:55] Well, that was weird. Couldn't reconnect for like a day. [02:23] *** azakai has joined #jsmess [03:08] Hello hi [14:19] *** oscar has quit IRC (Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…) [14:25] *** oscar has joined #jsmess [14:26] OK, because last week was a total bust (and because I've got jury duty and a DEFCON event tomorrow), I'm working to get something that's actually interesting today. [14:27] Gotta get some embedded code for work fixed this morning (yaaaaaay stack corruption under FreeRTOS), but after that, trying to slam through. [14:46] Lovely! [15:24] so here's adventure running on another new zealand computer you've never heard of http://forums.bannister.org//ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=112934#Post112934 [15:46] I think I can nearly 100% script uploading handhelds. [15:46] Good for the bundles of them coming, it seems [16:07] *** decay__ has quit IRC (Write error: Connection reset by peer) [16:07] *** decay_ has joined #jsmess [16:56] DFJustin: While I understand I'm never going to get approved for the Forums, I wish I could pop in on the shoutbox [16:56] So I'll just use you as a go-between [16:57] I was asked "Can we leech your bandwidth" and I responded "Sure, anyone can leech our bandwidth." [16:57] That's kind of the point of the Archive [16:57] Next, tell me what ROMs are "Locked" [16:57] And I'll unlock them [17:00] I think people sometimes forget that the Internet Archive has precisely one guy on staff for the curation, maintenance and functioning of the software collections. [17:00] So if that guy spends time with his buddy walking him around NYC, like I did yesterday, nothing else is going on. [17:01] But there's two other people whose job is to go through and notice "crap" is happening and then mitigate the "crap" [17:01] With "crap" being "something is eating 8% of our bandwidth", "something is spam", "someone uploaded terrorism" [17:01] And so they have some blunt tools to fix that [17:01] And sometimes, not every time, they go "Huh, looks like a Jason Special" and they ping me [17:04] I think when people say "Locked ROMs", they mean "Declared High Bandwidth" [17:04] And those are "You must log in to view" [17:04] But that's it, you log in [17:05] OK, I have to drive my pal to the airport (3 hour round trip). When you have info from them, I'll work with what I can. [17:05] ok [17:06] I wish people weren't so incredibly, hungrily eager to fill a dearth of information with a steaming pile of conclusions and then building, steadily, on that foundation. [17:06] But, Internet [17:06] Tell them Jason says hi. Talk soon! [17:10] this is probably all coming from reddit [17:12] I've been trying to stay out of that neck of the woods, last time I went in there I got Mad Online [19:14] hrm [19:14] https://archive.org/details/bob_and_his_amazing_journey_home [19:14] can anyone see why IA isn't emulating this in DOSbox? [19:14] a friend had uploaded it previously and just added the metadata tags, but it's not picking it up and I can't tell why [20:04] Oh, Reddit. [21:19] Vito`: The Mediatype was "texts", not "software" [21:19] Workks now [21:19] thanks! [21:28] Well, I'll make a round of fixes. [21:28] Also, I'm being reminded how much Al haaaaaates me [21:28] Did I mention how entirely tiring this aspect of things is? [21:28] Like, there's so much to do, so much to handle [21:29] Life so short, etc. [21:35] I think.... I think I'll not be working to "unlock" the ROMs right now [21:35] So good, congratufuckinglations, internal ridiculous political scene-drama, you did it, I'm going to focus on other stuff [21:35] [Thumbs Up] [23:33] oscar: As usual, let us know if you need any help [23:40] Yup. I'm hitting it now, trying to make sure I get something out tonight. [23:41] I don't exactly need to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for jury duty tomorrow, so. [23:42] I'll 100% want testing help once it's up. Will it be helpful to host a server running my branch, or would you rather just pull it from Github? [23:46] Also, question for future work (NOT for now): what is the general approach re: browser compatibility? e.g. ECMAScript 6 features that are only available on pretty new browsers? Obviously a lot of this stuff runs best on newer browsers anyway. [23:48] Obviously, for example, Promises are handled with an auxiliary js file if they're not natively supported. But something like, say, modules would be handy for cleaning things up a bit in the future, but they're definitely pretty new.
