02:44 🔗 DFJustin there's a handy histogram icon next to e.g. collection as well
02:53 🔗 Famicoman that's awesome, thanks
02:58 🔗 winr4r morning folks
02:59 🔗 godane i think my ocd is making me a good archiver
03:00 🔗 godane that and living with dial-up for 4 years and then 3 years without internet at home will turn any ocd internet user into a archiver
03:03 🔗 winr4r heh!
03:03 🔗 winr4r download internet at work, take it home
03:03 🔗 DFJustin rage, paranoia, kleptomania, and ocd
03:04 🔗 DFJustin sounds about right
03:04 🔗 godane i was doing it at library between 2005 - early 2007
03:05 🔗 godane when i had my first desktop pc was sneaking in library with usb stick to download linux isos and dl.tv stuff
03:06 🔗 DFJustin I remember in the 90s we had time-limited dial-up but dad worked at a university so I would save web pages onto floppy disks at his office
03:06 🔗 shaqfu godane: If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?
03:06 🔗 shaqfu I was never that desperate, although I remember waiting 10 hours to download large FilePlanet mods
03:07 🔗 DFJustin half of them would have bad sectors by the time I got home because I reused free AOL disks
03:07 🔗 shaqfu Rofl
03:07 🔗 DFJustin I hated when they switched to CDs because I had to start buying floppies
03:08 🔗 Coderjoe the disks could have been fine, but instead misaligned drives in opposite directions
03:08 🔗 shaqfu Kinda ironic now, that we're downloading all of FilePlanet, and I used to wait many many hours just to get one file
03:08 🔗 Coderjoe bah
03:09 🔗 DFJustin when the demo for daggerfall came out it was 18mb so dad had to borrow a zip drive to bring it home
03:09 🔗 shaqfu 18MB, good God
03:09 🔗 shaqfu That's just excessive
03:09 🔗 shaqfu Probably had to run a RAM expander just to run it :(
03:09 🔗 DFJustin then we fought with parallel port zip drive drivers for a while
03:10 🔗 Coderjoe I had ISDN at home while my employer still used dialup
03:10 🔗 Coderjoe so I would download big things like the directx sdk at home, burn a cd, and take it to work
03:11 🔗 shaqfu (It was such a letdown to learn that RAM expanders weren't magic, and just added swap)
03:11 🔗 Coderjoe shaqfu: uh... I have an addon card in a box somewhere that you put SIMMs on and drop in an ISA slot
03:12 🔗 DFJustin in the real early days we would do lycos searches at the university and PRINT THEM OUT
03:12 🔗 shaqfu Coderjoe: I was thinking the software ones
03:12 🔗 DFJustin so I would have paper listing every web site that existed on x (which fit in a binder)
03:12 🔗 Coderjoe now, CPUs are fast enough that you have things like compcache on linux
03:13 🔗 Coderjoe they add "swap" space, but it is compressed in RAM
03:13 🔗 DFJustin wish I still had that stuff
03:13 🔗 Coderjoe DFJustin: I had a copy of an internet yellow pages book
03:14 🔗 shaqfu I got a book simply titled "THE INTERNET" from '95 off a free book card
03:14 🔗 godane shaqfu: From NH USA
03:14 🔗 Coderjoe oh shit. you have a copy of THE INTERNET
03:15 🔗 shaqfu AWB has a few good ones like that
03:15 🔗 shaqfu Er, ALB
03:15 🔗 godane i love the fact that i'm the only one save The Screen Savers for the IA people
03:15 🔗 godane it was mostly not even there
03:15 🔗 DFJustin I thought compression is how stuff like ramdoubler worked back in the day
03:15 🔗 DFJustin never actually used it though
03:16 🔗 godane before me
03:16 🔗 Coderjoe some did do weird compression tricks
03:16 🔗 shaqfu http://awfullibrarybooks.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/How-to-Dotcom-1.jpg
03:17 🔗 godane i got to get the home brew computer episode upload later tonight or tomorrw
03:17 🔗 godane from jan 16 2004
03:17 🔗 godane and high bitrate too
03:20 🔗 godane i also have episode that looks a little weird
03:20 🔗 godane but full episode of feb 20 2004
03:31 🔗 godane holy crap
03:31 🔗 godane holy crap
03:31 🔗 godane ben heck was on the screen savers
03:31 🔗 shaqfu Are there any useful tools for doing Excel-y stuff on SQLite?
03:32 🔗 shaqfu I have a 110MB database here, which is too big to import into Excel, but I'd like to draw up some quick charts of it
03:32 🔗 shaqfu (trying to see if the files-per-month output of Fileplanet is interesting)
03:34 🔗 shaqfu Anything bypassing Excel totally would be ideal - my version caps out at 65k elements, and I have approx. 110k
03:35 🔗 dashcloud maybe gnuplot or the last version or two of LibreOffice- it should be matching Excel 2010's ridiculous columns & rows
03:35 🔗 Coderjoe libreoffice calc can handle much more than excel
03:35 🔗 shaqfu Even then, I tried SQlite->csv->xls but my laptop can't handle it
03:36 🔗 shaqfu 150MB databases are just too much for it, I suppose
03:36 🔗 Coderjoe if you can get the series into something like csv, then gnuplot likely can help make a chart
03:36 🔗 Coderjoe but I don't have any idea how to use gnuplot, so don't bother asking me for help with it.
03:37 🔗 shaqfu I'll give it a shot; thanks
03:37 🔗 Coderjoe (my only experiences were with octave exporting and running gnuplot itself)
03:37 🔗 shaqfu Should be simple enough to feed it data - I may be able to bypass the CSV totally, just having a list of mm/yyyy to count
03:38 🔗 shaqfu 120 x points is plenty; no need to have 6000
05:22 🔗 winr4r shaqfu: i love that book cover
05:22 🔗 winr4r how to DOTCOM
05:22 🔗 winr4r that worked out well for all concerned
05:24 🔗 shaqfu http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Pn6VAGlMjVg/SaKzOmJYXaI/AAAAAAAAFuc/06PcArPC5RQ/s400/keyboard_surfing_the_internet.jpg
05:24 🔗 shaqfu This is still my favorite old Internet book cover
05:24 🔗 winr4r hahaha
05:24 🔗 winr4r that is beautiful man
05:25 🔗 winr4r saving as reaction image
05:25 🔗 winr4r ;D
05:25 🔗 shaqfu Surfing on a Model M with attached mouse wearing Velcro shoes
05:25 🔗 winr4r that's exactly what the internet is like
05:28 🔗 Coderjoe i doubt that is a model m
05:28 🔗 shaqfu Yeah, Model Ms didn't have ports on their sides
05:29 🔗 Coderjoe and all those poor kids in the background are in trouble. they seem to have no mice attached to their keyboards
05:29 🔗 shaqfu They're command-line users
05:29 🔗 winr4r linux users
05:29 🔗 shaqfu Only the punk in the front uses a WM
05:29 🔗 Coderjoe yeah, right
05:29 🔗 winr4r in like 1995, you see
05:30 🔗 Coderjoe 1995: "what's linux?"
05:31 🔗 shaqfu The kid in the back's catching a serious Internet wave
05:35 🔗 winr4r what's interesting is how we're joking about it, though
05:35 🔗 shaqfu Hm?
05:36 🔗 winr4r as in "holy shit new and cool internet" is amusing
05:36 🔗 winr4r was there ever self-referential humour of that kind about telephones?
05:36 🔗 winr4r or VCRs?
05:36 🔗 shaqfu I think it's more the sheer, well, 90sness of the image
05:38 🔗 ersi of course there was, winr4r. Unless I'm losing some context due to language
05:38 🔗 shaqfu http://tightmixblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/internet-book.jpg
05:38 🔗 winr4r i'm probably not making sense, but the old optimism is the new "lol internet"
05:38 🔗 shaqfu I think it's a combination of what's now tacky design + how poorly understood the Internet was
05:39 🔗 shaqfu If there was a book with kids surfing on VHS tapes in orbit, it'd be hilarious
05:39 🔗 winr4r haha true
05:39 🔗 DFJustin even people who understood it portrayed it with overblown metaphors
05:40 🔗 Coderjoe dammit
05:40 🔗 winr4r or video tapes about how awesome VHS was, except i don't know if people joking about *those* would have put out VHS tapes about it
05:40 🔗 Coderjoe I hate search engines
05:40 🔗 winr4r DFJustin: yeah, like, "the internet interprets censorship as damage" etc
05:40 🔗 Coderjoe I'm trying to find something I know exists, but can't coax the search engine into helping me find it again
05:42 🔗 shaqfu Wonder if there are any images of people playing croquet with giant candlestick telephones
05:42 🔗 shaqfu Titled "TELEPHONE"
05:43 🔗 winr4r haha
05:43 🔗 underscor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3_DjiLLDfo&feature=relmfu
05:44 🔗 underscor hahahahaha
05:44 🔗 underscor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DSgsON3u8E&feature=relmfu
05:44 🔗 winr4r awesome
05:44 🔗 winr4r if you want something REALLY awesome, though
05:45 🔗 winr4r https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&site=webhp&source=hp&q=define+gigabyte&oq=define+gigabyte
05:45 🔗 winr4r hit the audio button
05:45 🔗 winr4r YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT WRONG ALL THIS TIME
05:45 🔗 underscor http://i.imgur.com/k23k5.png
05:46 🔗 shaqfu Hahah
05:47 🔗 winr4r underscor: hahahah oh wow
05:47 🔗 underscor unfortunately we at a.o can't laugh because we use a reversable hash :(
05:47 🔗 underscor well, it's patched as of, uh. yesterday I think
05:47 🔗 underscor but before that
05:48 🔗 winr4r yeah, which also isn't the same thing as ** actually having passwords in clear text in 2012 **
05:48 🔗 shaqfu You'd think after Sony, that would be #1 on the "never ever do this" list
05:48 🔗 winr4r you'd think after every other fucking time it has happened
05:49 🔗 shaqfu Coderjoe: Sentimental attachment to the 512MB?
05:50 🔗 Coderjoe iirc, it has my stepmania/itg records on it
05:51 🔗 chronomex ?
05:51 🔗 chronomex I think I missed some irc antecedent there
05:51 🔗 Coderjoe it carried over from #archiveteam
05:51 🔗 chronomex Oh nvm
05:51 🔗 shaqfu Siren was blaring
05:52 🔗 chronomex So coderjoe why do you carry so many?
05:52 🔗 chronomex They make 16g sticks for not much money at all fwiw
05:53 🔗 shaqfu Bought a mini for $10 last week
05:54 🔗 shaqfu Jam it into a mini router, 16GB network storage on the go
05:54 🔗 Coderjoe chronomex: did you see that I have 4 16GB sticks?
05:54 🔗 chronomex Oh, yeah I did
05:54 🔗 shaqfu Coderjoe: Might be easier at this point to consolidate into a USB 2.5" drive
05:54 🔗 Coderjoe the kanguru one has a hardware write protect switch, which is nice for service work
05:54 🔗 shaqfu Slip it into your front shirt pocket, like a baller
05:54 🔗 Coderjoe I can't fit those in my pockets
05:54 🔗 chronomex Ok
05:55 🔗 Coderjoe especially without the risk of damage
05:55 🔗 chronomex I actually quit carrying physical media a while ago, now I use a website for crap
05:55 🔗 Coderjoe (I already have a couple. still waiting for a third to return from IA)
05:55 🔗 chronomex Makes it a bit of a hassle to bring up boxes, but I install oses less than once a month
05:56 🔗 Coderjoe oh, I have access to my home stuff as well, anywhere I have internet access
05:56 🔗 shaqfu On me.com
05:57 🔗 winr4r hah
05:58 🔗 chronomex I would say "neckbeard alert" but I think the one picture I've seen of you actually included suspenders
05:58 🔗 Coderjoe of me?
05:58 🔗 chronomex Mhm
05:58 🔗 chronomex I could be misremembering
05:59 🔗 Coderjoe the only time I have worn suspenders that I can remember involved a steampunk-themed wedding for which I was a groomsman
05:59 🔗 chronomex hmmmmmmmm ok
05:59 🔗 Coderjoe and I don't think any pictures were taken of me without my coat and vest on
06:00 🔗 chronomex "I put on my robe and wizard hat"...
06:00 🔗 shaqfu Coat and vest? Sounds fly
06:01 🔗 Coderjoe omf_: my hard card failed in the 80s sometime, and took with it a bunch of my source code and programs that I hadn't backed up
06:02 🔗 omf_ I still got pc-dos 3.0 or 3.3 and games. 21, centiped, rogue, kings quest 4
06:02 🔗 omf_ which took 8 double sided 5.25 disks
06:02 🔗 Coderjoe https://twimg0-a.akamaihd.net/profile_images/2288410986/h8ar1sqta21fieak02h3_reasonably_small.jpeg
06:03 🔗 Coderjoe I did previously have my twitter profile image set to the "hershy bar censor" image
06:04 🔗 omf_ are those steampunk glasses?
06:04 🔗 Coderjoe those are indeed prop steampunk goggles
06:04 🔗 Coderjoe as I said, steampunk themed wedding
06:06 🔗 omf_ nice
06:14 🔗 Coderjoe mmmm
06:14 🔗 Coderjoe http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=418xvoRiCk0
06:15 🔗 Coderjoe I don't know if I showed that already, but <3 comments like that
06:16 🔗 Coderjoe oh, one of those 16GB sticks (the one with the lanyard clip) has a crapton of music on it, which I can plug into my car stereo
06:19 🔗 godane retrogamer magazine 096-100 issues are scaned
06:19 🔗 godane :-D
06:19 🔗 winr4r godane: :D
06:24 🔗 omf_ are those magazines still in copyright? If that does not matter I have some gaming mags as well
06:25 🔗 winr4r omf_: certainly
06:25 🔗 winr4r will be for a very, very long time
06:26 🔗 omf_ sorry brain fart
06:26 🔗 omf_ I meant did the company who made them go defunct?
06:27 🔗 winr4r no
06:27 🔗 Coderjoe even if they did, the copyright would still be around for a very long time
06:28 🔗 winr4r well, they did, but their assets got bought
06:28 🔗 winr4r Coderjoe: yes
06:28 🔗 Coderjoe thank you disney corporation and sunny bono
06:30 🔗 winr4r i'm not sure what happens if a business holds copyrights, goes bankrupt and doesn't sell their assets to someone else
06:31 🔗 winr4r but even then, there's probably something that says "will be copyrighted for an awfully long time anyway"
06:31 🔗 Coderjoe the assets would probably go to unpaid creditors
06:31 🔗 Coderjoe but yes, the copyright sticks around, like HIV
07:07 🔗 omf_ so the internet archive has the following upload methods: s3, ftp, http (flash), http (non-flash). is there anything else I am missing
07:07 🔗 shaqfu In emergencies, mailing disks
07:08 🔗 omf_ and from what I have heard people say ftp or s3 is the way to go
07:14 🔗 Coderjoe mmm
07:14 🔗 Coderjoe http://p.twimg.com/Awbmt3mCMAADY9r.png
07:14 🔗 Coderjoe thanks to 24hour for-profit must-scoop news... we're writing the news before it happens!
07:15 🔗 Coderjoe omf_: at least one of the http methods is actually using the s3api
07:16 🔗 Coderjoe i'm curious what would replace that "XXXX" in the last portion
07:19 🔗 omf_ after looking through https://wiki.archive.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebTopicList I found 2 upload methods mentioned, one of them currently mac only
07:30 🔗 omf_ other than SketchCow's scripts am I missing any resources in this list about uploading to the a.o http://pastebin.com/hWiMM2w0 ?
07:38 🔗 omf_ forgot this on my list http://archive.org/help/abouts3.txt
08:44 🔗 omf_ did google verbatim just disappear
08:45 🔗 omf_ nevermind
08:45 🔗 omf_ stupid google
09:12 🔗 Coderjoe hmm
09:13 🔗 Coderjoe do I still want to back this short film project in texas?
09:13 🔗 Coderjoe (not computer history related)
09:40 🔗 omf_ <Coderjoe> (not computer history related) - I think that is your answer :)
09:47 🔗 Coderjoe uh... so I can only ever contribute to computer history related stuff?
10:00 🔗 chronomex hehe
10:22 🔗 godane Coderjoe: This worked: http://archive.org/details/dltv_077_episode
10:22 🔗 godane ftp for the win
10:44 🔗 godane now its happening again: http://archive.org/catalog.php?history=1&identifier=dltv_078_episode
10:45 🔗 godane ok everything is find
10:45 🔗 godane *fine
11:00 🔗 godane uploading cdrom 123 of 3d word
11:00 🔗 godane *world
12:29 🔗 omf_ the deathwatch kinda reminds me of fuckedcompany.com
12:29 🔗 omf_ another site which is now gone
13:13 🔗 omf_ grrr friday morning
13:16 🔗 mistym At least it's less than 24 hours from Saturday morning.
13:17 🔗 omf_ and I still do not have a job. Days are essentially meaning less in this state.
13:24 🔗 omf_ shit another one bites the dust. moddb is owned by a new company and at least 5 years of old content is missing, probably more.
13:24 🔗 SmileyG sigh
13:25 🔗 SmileyG some people are suck frikking idiots i just GRRRHUGHHH.
13:25 🔗 SmileyG lol
13:25 🔗 omf_ sorry my bad. Everything 2005 and before is long gone
13:25 🔗 SmileyG :<
13:25 🔗 omf_ it was the largest site of game levels and mods
13:26 🔗 omf_ I already backed up gamers.org which is still running strong
13:32 🔗 Schbirid gamers.org is safe
13:36 🔗 omf_ know who runs it?
13:39 🔗 Schbirid ha, i thought i knew who runs it but seems like i just know one of them and he is a caring person
13:40 🔗 omf_ that is fantastic to hear
13:40 🔗 omf_ It kills me how much gaming history on the internet has been lost
13:40 🔗 omf_ I have lists of gaming sites no longer around some I worked for.
13:49 🔗 omf_ this kills me
13:49 🔗 omf_ google: where to download game mods
13:49 🔗 omf_ fileplanet and moddb are in the top 4
13:50 🔗 winr4r is moddb being murdered?
13:51 🔗 omf_ it was murdered in 2005
13:51 🔗 omf_ lost all the previous content
13:51 🔗 omf_ just like how the current delicious has none of the content prior to 2011
13:52 🔗 omf_ I am going through all the sites I used to download stuff from to see if they are still around
14:03 🔗 omf_ Is anyone keeping an eye on tripod
14:08 🔗 winr4r i hope so
14:08 🔗 winr4r i have techcrunch's deadpool tag in my RSS reader, i'm guessing it'll show up there if it does
14:08 🔗 winr4r (i know, fucking techcrunch)
14:08 🔗 omf_ winr4r, it is like you read my mind
14:14 🔗 omf_ 3dpalette.com is also dead
14:14 🔗 omf_ I am just depressing myself
14:31 🔗 winr4r omf_: :(
14:40 🔗 * winr4r goes back to porting welcometointernet.org to HTML5
14:43 🔗 SketchCow What a goal!
14:44 🔗 winr4r SketchCow: i'm actually serious
14:44 🔗 winr4r and i had to learn that <canvas> shit somehow
14:44 🔗 Famicoman lol
14:44 🔗 winr4r mostly there, i'm working on the timing so it matches the flash file
14:45 🔗 mistym SketchCow, was this you? https://twitter.com/archiveteam/status/212618778968731649
14:49 🔗 SketchCow Yes
14:49 🔗 SketchCow They're all me
14:51 🔗 SmileyG heh
14:51 🔗 SmileyG am i the only one who sees the problem with all the mobile devices going "no" to flash?
14:52 🔗 SketchCow Flash is kind of shit
14:52 🔗 omf_ SmileyG, what do you think the major problem with that is
14:53 🔗 winr4r SmileyG: they're all going "no" because flash is an awful power hog and they've had years to fix it
14:54 🔗 omf_ and it is insecure
14:54 🔗 omf_ you think google is going to help adobe after the fucking around they got before
14:58 🔗 mistym SketchCow: So what's that about? Wikimedia Commons, Flickr?
15:06 🔗 SmileyG omf_: so limiting access is ok :/
15:07 🔗 winr4r SmileyG: sites will adapt
15:07 🔗 Schbirid i never used flash in 2 years of android usage
15:08 🔗 SmileyG clearly we visit different sites.
15:08 🔗 winr4r talking of sites adapting
15:08 🔗 winr4r http://lewiscollard.com/wti/
15:09 🔗 winr4r if someone has an android or ios and wants to see if that works, i'd be very happy
15:09 🔗 winr4r i'll add a flash fallback when i get home but i have to go pick up an engine
15:09 🔗 winr4r bbiaw
15:09 🔗 SmileyG html5?
15:09 🔗 SmileyG nice
15:11 🔗 omf_ Adobe made this call on their own last year
15:11 🔗 omf_ how is google locking them out
15:11 🔗 omf_ apple locks everyone out
15:11 🔗 SmileyG they have removed it from the play marketplace.
15:11 🔗 SmileyG oh apple can foad
15:11 🔗 SmileyG problem is the world laps it up
15:11 🔗 omf_ yeah Adobe had it removed not google
15:11 🔗 SmileyG orly?
15:11 🔗 omf_ https://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html
15:11 🔗 SmileyG then maybe they gonna finally do something about it ¬_¬
15:12 🔗 SmileyG omf_: it was relayed to me as the other way around....
15:12 🔗 SmileyG i do just wonder lots :(
15:12 🔗 SmileyG so many old sites become unusable as first its phones
15:12 🔗 SmileyG then it'll be desktop browsers too
15:12 🔗 omf_ Adobe already announced they are cutting back desktop support in the form of Linux
15:13 🔗 mistym winr4r: Doesn't work on iOS Simulator, though I've only got 4.3. Maybe it works in the latest mobile Safari
15:16 🔗 DFJustin firefox will probably integrate this eventually http://badassjs.com/post/25369867558/shumway-mozillas-flash-vm-and-runtime-in-javascript
15:18 🔗 SmileyG IT'S FRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIDAY!
15:19 🔗 Aranje neat
15:20 🔗 mistym SmileyG: FRIDAAAAAAAAAAAY
15:20 🔗 SmileyG \o\
15:20 🔗 SmileyG SEXEH AND I KNOW IT
15:20 🔗 SmileyG /o/
15:50 🔗 SketchCow Every day I'm archivin' dooopdoopdodppppp dooop DOOOP doop
15:50 🔗 SketchCow mistym: Yes, pull out all CC-licensed yahoo flickr photos
16:08 🔗 mistym SketchCow: Awesome. </late>
16:32 🔗 Aranje are there any obnoxious anime watchers in here
16:33 🔗 yipdw people who watch obnoxious anime, or obnoxious people who watch anime
16:33 🔗 Aranje either works, actually. I need someone who knows the encoder people and what they want people to watch anime using (software-wise)
16:34 🔗 Aranje they're all persnickety
16:34 🔗 Schbirid 10bit h265 with 5000kbps surround flac
16:34 🔗 Aranje yes
16:34 🔗 Schbirid no wait, wav, since flac has quality loss
16:34 🔗 Aranje does not
16:34 🔗 Aranje either way
16:34 🔗 Schbirid "those people" claim
16:35 🔗 Aranje mpc:hc is best video program, but do you need to pair it with a decoder set?
16:35 🔗 Aranje I had run it with haali's mkv splitter, but I think that's unecessary now
16:35 🔗 Schbirid no idea, i use mplayer
16:35 🔗 Aranje and there was something about madvr, but I don't have the hardware for it
16:36 🔗 Aranje yeah, I'm talkin winblows
16:36 🔗 Aranje --> http://explodie.org/aranjepack.html I give out a `default setup` for a media player, and I want it to be actually good
16:37 🔗 Aranje and I figure obnoxious persnickety people will at least give me something usable :>
16:37 🔗 Aranje I'm making a new one, so don't download it ;P
16:37 🔗 yipdw Aranje: CCCP is a popular choice, as is mplayer2
16:37 🔗 Aranje is old as fuck atm
16:37 🔗 Aranje ugh really
16:37 🔗 Aranje cccp has so much functionality duplication
16:37 🔗 Aranje >_>
16:38 🔗 yipdw the standard media format is Vorbis audio and H.264 (high profile usually, though it can go anywhere) video via x264
16:38 🔗 yipdw in Matroska
16:38 🔗 yipdw subtitling I guess is ASS, though that seems to change
16:38 🔗 Aranje alright. mpc:hc unaided will play that
16:38 🔗 Schbirid vorbis? nice. all anime i got has aac or ac3
16:38 🔗 yipdw well
16:38 🔗 yipdw AAC too
16:38 🔗 Aranje yeah mp4
16:38 🔗 Aranje common combination with h264
16:39 🔗 yipdw AC3 was popular with DVD rips; I'm not sure what it is now
16:39 🔗 Schbirid mkv
16:39 🔗 yipdw a lot of what comes out now is broadcast rips
16:39 🔗 Aranje Schbirid:) the audio format
16:39 🔗 Schbirid anime people are smart
16:39 🔗 Schbirid ah
16:39 🔗 Aranje aka aac >_>
16:39 🔗 yipdw so it's going to be as close to what's over the air as possible
16:39 🔗 * Aranje nods
16:39 🔗 yipdw I don't remember what ATSC broadcast standards are though
16:39 🔗 yipdw however MKV, Vorbis, H.264 is very popular
16:39 🔗 Aranje mmk.
16:40 🔗 Aranje Well I *think* mpc:hc can run all variations listed here stock, so I should be good
16:40 🔗 yipdw that said
16:40 🔗 yipdw I have not watched any anime released in the past, like, six years
16:40 🔗 * yipdw 's knowledge of anime stops around 2008
16:40 🔗 Aranje same here
16:40 🔗 yipdw so I could be talking total bullshit
16:40 🔗 yipdw what I just said is based on conversations with encoders
16:40 🔗 Aranje yeah that's why I figured I'd ask around
16:41 🔗 Aranje cause encoders have a preference for what their audience uses
16:41 🔗 Aranje And from what I've seen anime encoders are the most persnickety
16:41 🔗 Aranje lol
16:41 🔗 yipdw they can be
16:41 🔗 yipdw anime encoders have a history of dealing with really crazy inputs, though
16:41 🔗 Aranje yeah
16:41 🔗 * yipdw did a lot of it back in the day
16:41 🔗 Aranje :>
16:42 🔗 yipdw then I realized where my life was heading and decided to shape up
16:42 🔗 * Aranje laughs
16:42 🔗 Aranje I'm waiting on that process from a friend of mine from highschool
16:42 🔗 Aranje :P
16:42 🔗 Aranje Sue, he was in here helping with tabblo
16:44 🔗 yipdw who was it?
16:45 🔗 Aranje Sue?
16:45 🔗 Aranje That's his nick
16:45 🔗 yipdw oh
16:46 🔗 yipdw why the hell does he call himself sue
16:46 🔗 Aranje Because nobody can pronounce "suigintoulain"
16:46 🔗 yipdw is that Gaelic?
16:46 🔗 Aranje It's an anime character
16:46 🔗 Aranje :P
16:46 🔗 yipdw oh jesus fuck
16:46 🔗 DFJustin Aranje: I personally use mpc-hc + ffmpeg-tryouts which handles everything anime-wise
16:46 🔗 Aranje I think there might be a space in there somewhere
16:46 🔗 yipdw is it this guy
16:46 🔗 Aranje mmm
16:46 🔗 yipdw https://github.com/suigintoulain
16:47 🔗 Aranje yes
16:47 🔗 DFJustin suigintou and lain are two different characters
16:47 🔗 Aranje oh, okay :)
16:47 🔗 yipdw wait
16:47 🔗 yipdw is that Rozen Maiden
16:47 🔗 DFJustin obv
16:47 🔗 yipdw I don't know, I've never seen it
16:47 🔗 Aranje DFJustin:) I've been distributing mpc:hc and haali mkv splitter http://haali.su/mkv/
16:48 🔗 DFJustin I don't think you need haali if you have mpc-hc
16:48 🔗 DFJustin at least I never have
16:48 🔗 Aranje but haali hasn't been updated in a bit
16:48 🔗 DFJustin it has its own mkv splitter
16:48 🔗 Aranje which is why I'm revisiting what I'm giving out
16:48 🔗 Aranje :>
16:52 🔗 DFJustin the only thing about mpc-hc + ffmpeg-tryouts is it takes some post-install config to get everything working properly (e.g. softsubs)
16:52 🔗 DFJustin so it may not be ideal for you
16:53 🔗 DFJustin for noobs whose computers I'm not physically at I usually recommend vlc, even though I don't prefer it as a player personally
16:54 🔗 Aranje mmm
16:55 🔗 DFJustin because it just works and it's idiot-proof
16:58 🔗 Aranje oh my god
16:58 🔗 Aranje the chinese government's condition for allowing google to buy motorola mobility was that android remain opensource and free for the next 5 years
16:58 🔗 Aranje I'm torn as to whether or not I should like that gov
16:58 🔗 Aranje I swear
16:59 🔗 Aranje massive scale censorship <-> gov level support for mass scale hacking of other nations and full support for opensource stuff
16:59 🔗 * Aranje shakes his head
17:01 🔗 Schbirid you should probably ask yourself a very similar question about your own government
17:01 🔗 DFJustin for whoever cares http://myanimelist.net/character/1072/Suigintou http://myanimelist.net/character/2219/Lain_Iwakura
17:03 🔗 Aranje Schbirid:) I'm quite aware. But we don't have huge support for oss :P
17:03 🔗 * Aranje grins
17:03 🔗 Aranje huh
17:03 🔗 Aranje I've seen the suigintou character before in his avatars
17:03 🔗 Aranje not lain though
19:09 🔗 shaqfu Aranje: There are only so many library schools, and of them, not many teach that
19:09 🔗 Aranje Sure
19:09 🔗 Aranje I did not ask or care what city she was at
19:09 🔗 shaqfu Gotcha
19:09 🔗 shaqfu So it's awesome they're getting profs for it
19:10 🔗 Aranje I don't believe it's one on the list of `already teaches it` because she was talking about it in the way of `trying to change the program to address the topic`
19:10 🔗 shaqfu Yeah - a lot of places aren't really caught up to today yet
19:11 🔗 Aranje It was an interesting convo I had with her
19:11 🔗 Aranje She moves a lot, sounds like
19:11 🔗 Aranje was in britain last year, left this morning for somewhere else
19:11 🔗 Aranje I believe it's all for `work` as well
19:11 🔗 Aranje I wish I knew her name... I'll ask what it was
19:13 🔗 Famicoman I would be all over that course
19:13 🔗 * Aranje nods
19:13 🔗 shaqfu Same
19:13 🔗 Aranje I would too, irrelevant as it is to my degree
19:14 🔗 shaqfu I took a digipres course, but it was 100% theory
19:14 🔗 Aranje It's getting close to time that I go home book scanning/ocr
19:14 🔗 Aranje I've got old books, want to scan and then sell or something
19:14 🔗 shaqfu Honestly, I've learned more about digipres here than in school
19:14 🔗 shaqfu Aranje: The ones in the garage?
19:14 🔗 Aranje yessir
19:15 🔗 Aranje most aren't even worth scanning because they're new enough
19:15 🔗 Aranje but a few are 1800s
19:17 🔗 Aranje I lent out a couple to a friend who wanted to read them and they've been returned
19:17 🔗 Aranje she hated the smell of them because of the garage-conditions
19:17 🔗 Aranje bindings and everything is fine, but the paper could be doing better
19:17 🔗 yipdw FYI, if someone makes a Gravatar-sized version of the logo in the topic, I will use it for our Github organization
19:17 🔗 * Aranje grins
19:18 🔗 Aranje github... I have one of those
19:18 🔗 Aranje heh
19:18 🔗 Aranje dun do fuckall on it, but hey
19:19 🔗 shaqfu Give underscor enough drinks and he'll probably record it himself
19:20 🔗 Aranje that could be arranged
19:21 🔗 Aranje Were I to have a car, he's ~3 hours north of me
19:33 🔗 winr4r i'm back
20:22 🔗 underscor I don't even need the drinks
20:23 🔗 underscor I'd do it for pure shits and giggles
20:32 🔗 yipdw be immortalized in a gravatar
21:07 🔗 chronomex Aranje: this is my first scan, it's kind of crappy at the start but it gets better - http://archive.org/details/TheElectronicSwitchingSystem
21:07 🔗 winr4r HEY WHO HAS AN IPHONE HERE
21:07 🔗 winr4r and/or ipad
21:07 🔗 underscor <-- ipt
21:08 🔗 winr4r underscor: http://lewiscollard.com/wti/
21:08 🔗 winr4r welcometointernet.org, HTML5 port
21:08 🔗 winr4r please test for me
21:09 🔗 DFJustin there's some market in old drives for interface board swaps
21:10 🔗 chronomex ok, not all the buyers are idiots
21:11 🔗 DFJustin scan looks great
21:12 🔗 DFJustin page 91 is missing?
21:12 🔗 chronomex yeah, I think I skipped it
21:12 🔗 chronomex haven't had a chance to re-scan, the scanner is my friend's
21:13 🔗 underscor winr4r: just a black screen
21:13 🔗 chronomex I ran the whole scan through a deskewer, it actually is straighter on-screen than in the original print
21:13 🔗 chronomex underscor: same in opera
21:13 🔗 winr4r underscor: oh, weird
21:14 🔗 chronomex DFJustin: also I don't have a scandata.xml so the DPI is off - deriver assumes 600dpi unless it's very obvious otherwise, but I scanned that at 400
21:14 🔗 chronomex "very obvious" doesn't include the DPI tag in TIFF
21:20 🔗 chronomex it's kind of disappointing that I can get faster upstream via wimax on my phone than my DSL line provides
