15:46 πŸ”— soultcer I knew I was missing a channel
15:53 πŸ”— emijrp not much activity here
15:55 πŸ”— soultcer 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 πŸ”— emijrp yep
16:00 πŸ”— emijrp seems boring
16:00 πŸ”— emijrp downloading videos is cooler
16:00 πŸ”— soultcer Well at least I'll learn something on most Wikis, even if it is just Star Wars fanfiction.
16:01 πŸ”— soultcer I am afraid that most of the Yahoo Video videos would make me dumber the longer I watch them
16:02 πŸ”— emijrp : )
16:08 πŸ”— soultcer 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 πŸ”— soultcer 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 πŸ”— emijrp cant you use Ia as mirror?
16:10 πŸ”— emijrp IA
16:11 πŸ”— soultcer 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 πŸ”— emijrp you can archive by month
16:14 πŸ”— emijrp thats the approach i want to do
16:14 πŸ”— emijrp but i have not developed the script
16:14 πŸ”— emijrp better by day
16:14 πŸ”— emijrp ~5 GB new images /day
16:15 πŸ”— soultcer 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 πŸ”— soultcer Maybe put all new files into quarantine for a week or month, only then upload the tar to the IA
16:17 πŸ”— emijrp IA is not very worried for that, right? they scrapes the whole internet every day
16:18 πŸ”— emijrp by the way, you can download monthly from 2005, 2006, etc
16:18 πŸ”— soultcer But they allow you to remove your stuff
16:18 πŸ”— emijrp images ffrom that years were reviewed olong time ago
21:38 πŸ”— underscor chronomex: ersi Ops spread?
21:38 πŸ”— underscor Also, (shhhh!) IA doesn't really give a damn about rights/copyright
21:39 πŸ”— Nemo_bis I suspected it
21:39 πŸ”— chronomex underscor: that's a shock, an utter shock
21:40 πŸ”— underscor :D
21:41 πŸ”— underscor 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 πŸ”— underscor Hmm, can't find the book link
21:42 πŸ”— underscor http://ninapaley.com/mimiandeunice/category/ip/
21:45 πŸ”— chronomex mmmm
21:47 πŸ”— chronomex my current project is all about republishing data that other people generate
21:47 πŸ”— chronomex which is why I'm glad for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_v._Rural
21:47 πŸ”— soultcer Are you doing a telephone book?
21:47 πŸ”— chronomex indeed
21:48 πŸ”— chronomex http://numbertron.com/
22:01 πŸ”— underscor chronomex: Are you Marcus, of Marcus' Basement Datacenter҄’?
22:08 πŸ”— chronomex no, marcus went on a trip to europe and his internet cut out
22:11 πŸ”— underscor aha
