[02:45] <shaqfu> Blech; the more I work in this field the more I realize it's a dead end
[05:34] <DFJustin> cool archive.org burped on part 1577 of a 1670-part s3 upload http://archive.org/catalog.php?history=1&identifier=freem-action-2012-06-11
[05:54] <underscor> DFJustin: Fixed/ing
[05:54] <underscor> It might fail again though, catalog's going readonly tonight
[05:55] <underscor> due to ISC fiber upgrades
[05:55] <underscor> ia7* will be offline
[05:58] <Coderjoe> whee
[06:01] <underscor> 1-5am, pst
[06:04] <underscor> DFJustin: Should be done completely now.
[06:05] <underscor> I can fix a lot of IA problems now, so feel free to hit me up here or in PM to take a look
[06:05] <underscor> or if not, I can talk to people who can
[06:13] <DFJustin> sweet thanks
[08:16] <SmileyG> Right ok chronomex
[08:17] <SmileyG> i figure that whoever is sponsoring the hosting used to sponsor something else, invloing 150k domains?
[08:17] <SmileyG> so..... those are/were on the same h/w
[08:17] <SmileyG> Making room for archive, they gonna get rid of them. Makes sense right... except that in a way goes against what the archive is about (hense the user concern?)
[08:19] <joepie91> SmileyG
[08:19] <joepie91> http://sebsauvage.net/paste/?178b86ada62a6ad2#B5dDXlNaoFNr4yQ9tL36GuM491dtdOHKTtLzO/TX5Gs=
[08:20] <joepie91> it seems they add a robots.txt to all expired domains
[08:20] <joepie91> that makes it disappear from the wayback machine
[08:20] <joepie91> if I am correctly understanding
[08:24] <chronomex> that's messed up
[08:26] <ersi> joepie91: yeah, welcome to like four years ago. It's not like this is a bug in the Wayback machine. It's something IA people have taken a decision on
[08:26] <joepie91> actually my issue was more with the robots.txt people (domainsponsor) than with IA :|
[08:27] <ersi> You wouldn't be crying if doing that, wouldn't hide the material
[08:28] <ersi> Also, it's not 'borderline illegal' like some moron said in that paste
[08:28] <SmileyG> you can copy anything ever, as long as you don't publish it?
[08:28] <SmileyG> or share it, or consume it in any fashion?
[08:28] <joepie91> point is, I understand the reasoning behind hiding stuff based on robots.txt
[08:29] <joepie91> and to a degree I can agree with it
[08:29] <joepie91> but why?! would you automatically dump a robots.txt that disallows crawling on expired domains
[08:30] <ersi> Why not? They're expired. Maybe they don't want to have their crappy expired-domain-page indexed?
[08:30] <ersi> A lot of registrars("sponsors" <- lol at actually using the word sponsors though :D) have 'expired domain' pages.
[08:54] <SmileyG> ~Yesterday we were flaming users for posting stuff then complaining when it gets archived
[08:54] <SmileyG> you can't then complain that someone does something to STOP stuff being archived (as long as its their stuff).
[09:14] <ersi> Of course I can
[09:14] <ersi> I'm Swedish. We're always of double morales, we're never sure. But we're always loud about our opinions!
[09:18] <SmileyG> ersi: and now dell just called me to make sure everything was working fine (we had a laptop monitor die the other day). As I said, very good :)
[09:22] <ersi> that's nice and all
[09:38] <SmileyG> hehe
[09:38] <SmileyG> yah
[09:49] <BlueMax> Never did that with me
[09:49] <BlueMax> The tech came like 4/5 fucking times and I never got a call back asking me how the product was
[09:58] <ersi> Maybe they don't like you
[10:24] <SmileyG> BlueMax: hmmm :D
[10:24] <SmileyG> Maybe its because I know wtf I'm doing? ';) (Joking...)
[10:24] <SmileyG> Seriously tho, I dunno, we buy a fair bit of kit but I wouldn't call us large in any regard.
[10:34] <GLaDOS> We're not large.
[10:34] <GLaDOS> We just have overpowered servers.
[10:34] <GLaDOS> Also http://users.asciicharismatic.org/GLaDOS/scr/misc._0157.png
[10:50] <SmileyG> lol
