[15:46] I knew I was missing a channel [15:53] not much activity here [15:55] Still, wikiteam is one of the nicest projects. Wikis are usually openly licensed, they have a usable API, all they need is someone to do backups ;-) [15:59] yep [16:00] seems boring [16:00] downloading videos is cooler [16:00] Well at least I'll learn something on most Wikis, even if it is just Star Wars fanfiction. [16:01] I am afraid that most of the Yahoo Video videos would make me dumber the longer I watch them [16:02] : ) [16:08] I wanted to download all of wikipedia's images and put them on mirrored HDDs and then put half the HDDs in a safe deposit box, but current HDD prices made me reconsider [16:08] Maybe I should let some water evaporate until it forms a cloud where I can then store a mirror of all wikipedia images. [16:10] cant you use Ia as mirror? [16:10] IA [16:11] Hm, maybe, although then I would somehow have to put the images into tar files because they like big chunks instead of many small files [16:14] you can archive by month [16:14] thats the approach i want to do [16:14] but i have not developed the script [16:14] better by day [16:14] ~5 GB new images /day [16:15] I think we will have the same problem as wikipedia itself though: Copyrighted images will get uploaded. To remove/block them we would have to remove the whole 5 gb file [16:17] Maybe put all new files into quarantine for a week or month, only then upload the tar to the IA [16:17] IA is not very worried for that, right? they scrapes the whole internet every day [16:18] by the way, you can download monthly from 2005, 2006, etc [16:18] But they allow you to remove your stuff [16:18] images ffrom that years were reviewed olong time ago [21:38] chronomex: ersi Ops spread? [21:38] Also, (shhhh!) IA doesn't really give a damn about rights/copyright [21:39] I suspected it [21:39] underscor: that's a shock, an utter shock [21:40] :D [21:41] First day I got there, I got a copy of this along with the direction "don't ever mention copyright while you're here or we'll kick you out" [21:41] Hmm, can't find the book link [21:42] http://ninapaley.com/mimiandeunice/category/ip/ [21:45] mmmm [21:47] my current project is all about republishing data that other people generate [21:47] which is why I'm glad for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_v._Rural [21:47] Are you doing a telephone book? [21:47] indeed [21:48] http://numbertron.com/ [22:01] chronomex: Are you Marcus, of Marcus' Basement Datacenter™? [22:08] no, marcus went on a trip to europe and his internet cut out [22:11] aha
