02:27 🔗 hook54321 has quit IRC (se.hub irc.underworld.no)
02:44 🔗 Raccoon http://studenten.freepage.de/meph/ascii/
03:36 🔗 mr_archiv Raccoon, I looked at your Paste sites list, it is very impressive. We should try enumerating the URLs like terroroftinytown does.
03:36 🔗 Raccoon If you can script something to better tidy and test them, that'd be awesome.
03:36 🔗 Raccoon I'd pulled a great deal of them from my IRC logs over 2 decades
03:37 🔗 Raccoon then creative google/duckduck searches for those with common codebase
03:39 🔗 mr_archiv Raccoon, even if I script something I will not have enough resources to run this myself unless I have access to a list of all pastes on the website. The reason why is because some websites rate limit requests.
03:39 🔗 Raccoon oh. right.
03:39 🔗 mr_archiv The solution is to distribute requests across many IP addresses.
03:39 🔗 Raccoon but I mean, at the very least, to ennumerate their existence, birthday, deathday, etc
03:40 🔗 Raccoon wikipage
03:40 🔗 mr_archiv I am not sure what you are talking about.
03:40 🔗 Raccoon then you know where to look on archive.org
03:40 🔗 Raccoon wikipage like @ http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=ISP_Hosting
03:40 🔗 Raccoon call it title=Paste_Hosting
03:41 🔗 mr_archiv I think what you talking about is migrating the list you are maintaining to the archiveteam wiki.
03:41 🔗 Raccoon correct.
03:41 🔗 Raccoon re: "I'm tired of trying to maintain it by hand."
03:42 🔗 mr_archiv OK, now I understand the confusion.
03:42 🔗 mr_archiv By enumerating the URLs I mean we figure out how the ID system increments on each website.
03:42 🔗 mr_archiv Then we attempt to request each paste and see if it exists.
03:42 🔗 mr_archiv This is how terroroftinytown works.
03:43 🔗 Raccoon aye. a great many or most of them expire posts after some period, and indexes are now mostly all hidden due to SEO spam companies. in theory, archive.org would have most of the index-era archived
03:44 🔗 Raccoon SEO companies have made plain their business model involves spamming paste sites and random web forums.
03:44 🔗 mr_archiv archive.org will only have the pastes if they were posted to a URL that the archive.org web crawller can access.
03:45 🔗 mr_archiv There are some pastes that are public by virture of not being password protected but they are not archived because archive.org's crawler never saw the URL.
03:45 🔗 Raccoon indeed
03:45 🔗 Raccoon and today that's mostly true since so many that had "recent pastes" indexes, no longer support that
03:47 🔗 mr_archiv To answer your original question about migrating to the wiki I recommend you check out pandoc.
03:47 🔗 mr_archiv It can convert your markdown to mediawiki syntax.
03:48 🔗 mr_archiv Then you should be able to copy and paste the mediawiki into a new page.
03:50 🔗 mr_archiv I ran it on paste.md and it worked.
03:50 🔗 mr_archiv Would you like me to post it to the archiveteam wiki?
04:03 🔗 zhongfu has joined #webroasting
