22:03 🔗 soultcer Remember when there was this whole controversy about the LOC getting all twitter posts older than 30 days?
22:04 🔗 soultcer Back then someone create a website that would delete your tweets after 29 days
22:04 🔗 bsmith093 no, there were people who cared?
22:04 🔗 ersi lol, like a 'delete' is a delete
22:04 🔗 soultcer Guess what, so did memset, the company that also owns is.gd
22:04 🔗 soultcer They probably enjoy deleting stuff
22:04 🔗 ersi "deleting"
22:04 🔗 soultcer Thx
22:05 🔗 ersi moar like unpublishes
22:05 🔗 bsmith093 so, tthose shortened links are now mostly dead?
22:05 🔗 soultcer Nope, is.gd still works
22:05 🔗 soultcer tr.im is the one that went under
22:05 🔗 ersi oh, yeah.. well those probably die and get deleted totally
22:05 🔗 bsmith093 so then whats the problem, is is.god is still livejust scrapt the db, and get the originals back
22:06 🔗 soultcer They only allow 60 requests/minute
22:06 🔗 soultcer I do more than that per second on tinyurl
22:06 🔗 bsmith093 1/sec, what is this, dailup?
22:06 🔗 soultcer haha
22:07 🔗 bsmith093 are there scripts for any of these, iod love to help
22:07 🔗 ersi probably a single server serving the whole site
22:07 🔗 ersi a cheap vps or something
22:07 🔗 soultcer bsmith093: Not for is.gd I think, they changed something when they redesigned the site
22:07 🔗 bsmith093 seriously how are we grabbing these?
22:07 🔗 bsmith093 for the big ones like tirnurl?
22:08 🔗 soultcer Using https://github.com/chronomex/urlteam and https://github.com/soult/tinyback mostly
22:08 🔗 soultcer tinyback works pretty well on tinyurl
22:08 🔗 soultcer Though I've got all of tinyurl with 6 letters or less
22:08 🔗 soultcer 7 Letters is a very very large space
22:11 🔗 soultcer SketchCow: According to Google our website might have been "hacked" again (that dreamhost thing again)
22:12 🔗 soultcer I can't find any changes though
22:17 🔗 soultcer Well fuck it
22:17 🔗 soultcer I just decided to rewrite tinyback in python
22:17 🔗 bsmith093 so the urlteam code is NOT scriptnoob friendly
22:18 🔗 bsmith093 im switching to tinyback, its more polular anyway
22:18 🔗 soultcer bsmith093: Maybe not, but it's a lot less complicated than tinyback. Chronomex managed to write a simple scraper in a couple hundred lines that just works
22:18 🔗 soultcer And it works with almost any service
22:19 🔗 bsmith093 so whats the syntax, caust it doesnt really give any lues
22:19 🔗 soultcer There's a short usage hint in fetcher.pl at the top
22:21 🔗 bsmith093 ah, ok, then my bad for not reading :D
22:21 🔗 bsmith093 any ecamples for shortenrs no one has yet?
22:22 🔗 soultcer http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=URLTeam#Old_list.5B5.5D
22:42 🔗 chronomex yeah. fetcher.pl is pretty stupid and works well
22:50 🔗 Coderjoe soultcer: where is google saying that?
22:52 🔗 soultcer Coderjoe: When I googled for urlteam
22:58 🔗 bsmith093 k im foing rod.gs aaaaa zzzzz alphanumeric
22:59 🔗 Coderjoe oh, you're referring to the urlte.am site?
23:00 🔗 bsmith093 yes
23:01 🔗 Coderjoe i hate shared hosting. especially with companies that don't seem to give a crap about sandboxing users as much as possible
23:02 🔗 bsmith093 ditto, i used feralhosting for a few months, but the usd to british whatevers became too much
23:10 🔗 soultcer I love NearlyFreeSpeech.net, but it's kind of expensive for bigger sites
