It always feels weird to lie to robots |
|

🔗
|
benuski |
have you gotten the leo mcgarry fan photos robot? |
|
00:05
🔗
|
shaqfu |
Nope - had to apply to a job via a robot system, and it asked a yes/no "have you used our niche CMS" |
|
00:06

|
shaqfu |
Where a "no" pipes your application to /dev/null |
|

|
shaqfu |
Thankfully it's FOSS, so I can quickly roll an install and play with it for an evening if all goes well |

People actually use Omeka! |

mistym |
shaqfu: Ah, no kidding! When you name your CMS after your university, you can tell it's based on a "not invented here" philosophy |
|

Coderjoe |
what isn't based on NIH? |

shaqfu |
mistym: When it's in "test mode at several institutions" it feels unfair to bin applications based on no experience |

So, I lied to a robot today about it |

mistym |
Its feelings are very hurt, I'm sure |

benuski |
We use Omeka for a transcription project, but it makes me angry almost daily |
|
00:17
🔗
|
benuski |
today its because it has a hardcoded file size limit, initially of about 10 mb |
|
00:17
🔗
|
shaqfu |
benuski: Yeah, it's finicky about stuff like that |
|
00:18
🔗
|
shaqfu |
In my use, it's been really fussy with ImageMagicking some filetypes |
|
00:18
🔗
|
benuski |
we're only using jpgs and pdfs with it, so its mostly treating us well |
|
00:19
🔗
|
shaqfu |
Ah, yeah - don't try it with JPEG2000 or TIFF |
|
00:20
🔗
|
shaqfu |
I'm surprised you use it for transcription - aren't there better systems for that? |
|
00:21
🔗
|
benuski |
maybe, but omeka + scripto is the best way we've found for our limited IT support. When we started, our volunteers were emailing their word files back to us, so scripto is a big upgrade |
|
00:22
🔗
|
shaqfu |
Ah, gotcha. Makes sense if you're limited - Omeka's free and flexible enough to be good-enough for most anything |
|
00:23
🔗
|
benuski |
Yeah; our IT team is energetic enough to install whatever we want for us, but we don't have money for big proprietary systems |
|
00:23
🔗
|
benuski |
which is fine for me, I prefer FOSS in general |
|

What's a fair wget delay time, to not rape a server? |
|
03:01
🔗
|
dashcloud |
if you're trying to make yourself look more like a person, make sure it's at least a second or two long- otherwise, base it on how soon you expect the server to go down |
|
03:02
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
also, the random wait can be useful as well |
|
03:02
🔗
|
shaqfu |
It's a small data hosting service in Texas; I figure it can't handle much |
|
03:06
🔗
|
shaqfu |
I'll just step it through 3k basic pages overnight at 4 sec each |
|
03:08
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
it would be nice if the wait time didn't apply to page requisites, as a normal browser would get those all together, then there would be a delay before moving on to the next page |
|
03:08
🔗
|
shaqfu |
Thankfully I'm skipping those |
|
03:08
🔗
|
shaqfu |
I just needs wads of text data |
|
03:09
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
(as far as hiding out as if you were a human browser and not wget slurping everything down) |
|
03:09
🔗
|
shaqfu |
Hm, actually, just grabbing text and telling it to ignore <img> might help their servers |
|
03:09
🔗
|
shaqfu |
Ignore the giant American flag banner, at least |
|
03:13
🔗
|
shaqfu |
I gotta say, wget+perl are such phenomenal data-building tools |
|

🔗
|
chronomex |
if you want to hide and not look like a robot, browsing a few pages and then leaving never to return would be pretty good idea |
|
03:14

|
Coderjoe |
mmm. ipv6 will make that fun |

I get people on my website who look at 500 pages over the course of 6 hours |
|
03:14
🔗
|
shaqfu |
I don't know what their infrastructure looks like |
|
03:14
🔗
|
chronomex |
I think they're kind of not people |
|
03:15
🔗

shaqfu |
But it's a small muni org, so I assume it sucks |

Each page has id=X, and I need to step through about 3k |
|
03:18
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
well, the web server appears to be hosted with peer1 dedicated hosting, at least |
|
03:19
🔗
|
shaqfu |
Is that solid hosting? |
|
03:19
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
but only one server (unless they use a load balancer or the like, which I haven't probed for) |

it appears to be IIS 6.0 on windows server 2k3 |

(that's what netcraft says. my single wget poke confirms IIS 6.0 and ASP.NET) |

Then again, after totally fucking up Parodius by accident I'm really jumpy about that sort of thing |
|
03:25

parodius would have nabbed you anyway, unless you were grabbing a page a day or something |

Most of them know you can get free private repositories at BitBucket (also git, owned by Alassian) - but they still pay a few dollars to GitHub instead |
