06:11 🔗 JesseW mrte-ch is running into problems
06:12 🔗 JesseW hasn't returned results since 2016-04-29 02:15:15.255886
06:16 🔗 JesseW mrte.ch appears to have gone boom
06:16 🔗 JesseW glad we got as much of it as we did
06:18 🔗 JesseW Apparently we got 54,880,485 URLs (most of which were probably spam) :-)
06:18 🔗 xmc damn
06:27 🔗 JesseW u.nu was a url shortener back in 2010. 6 years later it is now "an East-West informed pan-cultural wellness community based in NYC"
06:27 🔗 JesseW I suppose those are not the same thing. I think.
06:31 🔗 bwn has joined #urlteam
06:34 🔗 JesseW If someone wants to investigate url.ie -- it seems to be alive and maybe straightforward to scrape
06:43 🔗 JesseW also wapurl.co.uk
06:49 🔗 bwn has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
06:56 🔗 JesseW added two more lists; one from wikipedia (deleted back in 2013) and the other from a link from there
07:05 🔗 JesseW and wowurl.com
07:08 🔗 JesseW and tiny.tw

16:15 🔗 svchfoo1 sets mode: +o dashcloud
16:25 🔗 JW_work johtso: Thanks!
16:25 🔗 JW_work ranma: The "best URL shortner" is not using one.
16:47 🔗 dashcloud has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
16:53 🔗 ranma my intentions aren't long term
16:54 🔗 phuzion ranma: hence the reason to not run a url shortener. If you don't commit to run it forever, you're creating URLs that will inevitably go dead, which is a bad thing.

16:55 🔗 svchfoo1 sets mode: +o dashcloud
16:55 🔗 xmc i still think we should start up a shortener thingy for all our expanded links, for example: http://tr.im.urlte.am/x123
16:55 🔗 xmc i mean
16:55 🔗 xmc i could do that myself
16:55 🔗 * JW_work endorses that idea
16:55 🔗 xmc and if nobody else does it first, i might get around to it eventually
16:56 🔗 JW_work I don't want to do it myself, but I certainly think it's worth doing
16:56 🔗 xmc ya
16:56 🔗 JW_work The only downside I can see is it makes our work a bit more visible, which might contribute to sites taking countermeasures.
16:57 🔗 xmc hm
16:57 🔗 xmc eh,
16:57 🔗 JW_work But I think if we limited it to shorteners that have already died, that would be even less of an issue
16:57 🔗 JW_work and there are lots of those
16:57 🔗 xmc i have at least one ex-shortener domain, lispurl.com
16:57 🔗 xmc unfortunately nobody ever dumped it
16:57 🔗 xmc they were too clever and so it would have been real tricky
17:16 🔗 ranma phuzion: it's just to shorten pain in the ass long urls when i'm on mobile that i'm sharing with friends
17:16 🔗 ranma read once and forget
