04:53 ^🔗	chronomex	is that woz pissing from a segway?
04:54 ^🔗	SketchCow	yes
04:55 ^🔗	SketchCow	http://macenstein.com/default/2008/11/please-tell-me-this-is-photshopped/
04:55 ^🔗	SketchCow	http://gizmodo.com/5095603/woz-really-does-everything-on-his-segway#c9054150
04:56 ^🔗	chronomex	ok
04:56 ^🔗	chronomex	I get the idea
04:56 ^🔗	chronomex	woz is weird
04:56 ^🔗	SketchCow	Hey now
04:56 ^🔗	SketchCow	The first is speculation
04:56 ^🔗	SketchCow	The second has first-person
04:57 ^🔗	chronomex	and a reference to http://urinal.net/
04:57 ^🔗	SketchCow	Please remove the textfiles for the ASCII zine called "Cropduster." I wrote these 20+ years ago and do not want them someone to circulate them still under my real name.
04:57 ^🔗	SketchCow	I have asked you several times over several years to do this.
04:57 ^🔗	SketchCow	--
04:57 ^🔗	SketchCow	You would think the second line would indicate the needlessness of writing the first.
04:58 ^🔗	chronomex	well
04:58 ^🔗	chronomex	some people are special
04:58 ^🔗	SketchCow	http://www.textfiles.com/magazines/CROPDUSTER/
04:59 ^🔗	chronomex	maybe I should attempt to get a paper copy
05:08 ^🔗	joepie91	Naturally permission is granted to distribute Cropduster in any way you would
05:08 ^🔗	joepie91	like, but please leave it as it is so that others can see our mistakes as
05:08 ^🔗	joepie91	well.
05:09 ^🔗	joepie91	well
05:09 ^🔗	joepie91	wish granted, it seems to me
05:09 ^🔗	joepie91	lol
05:11 ^🔗	chronomex	over and over and over and over
05:20 ^🔗	SketchCow	forever
05:20 ^🔗	chronomex	this is the license that never ends
05:20 ^🔗	chronomex	it goes on and on my friends
05:20 ^🔗	Sue	what if he was just asking for a s/name/anonymous/
05:20 ^🔗	Sue	*g
05:21 ^🔗	Sue	devil's advocate
05:21 ^🔗	Sue	oh, didn't read line 2 of joepie
05:21 ^🔗	joepie91	:P
05:21 ^🔗	joepie91	also, SketchCow, others, what is the recommended DPI for scanning comics?
05:22 ^🔗	joepie91	400 seems a bit over the top
05:22 ^🔗	joepie91	although it does look very nice and high-res :P
05:22 ^🔗	chronomex	scan everything 600 if you can do it
05:22 ^🔗	chronomex	300 is acceptable
05:23 ^🔗	joepie91	600 takes forever on this thing :/
05:23 ^🔗	chronomex	then the highest resolution that you can justify the time for
05:23 ^🔗	joepie91	I think I'll go with 300 then
05:23 ^🔗	joepie91	right
05:23 ^🔗	chronomex	no less than 300
05:23 ^🔗	joepie91	let me make a first scan and upload the result
05:23 ^🔗	chronomex	k
05:24 ^🔗	*	joepie91 is automating his scanning
05:24 ^🔗	joepie91	I'll upload the 400 DPI one in the meantime
05:24 ^🔗	chronomex	ok
05:26 ^🔗	chronomex	300dpi is usually fine for printed things, though you may get unpleasant moire
05:26 ^🔗	chronomex	600dpi is minimum reasonable for photograph prints
05:27 ^🔗	joepie91	Height (mm)? 263
05:27 ^🔗	joepie91	Page 1 finished, press enter to continue with next page...
05:27 ^🔗	joepie91	Project name? wittegems
05:27 ^🔗	joepie91	Width (mm)? 196
05:27 ^🔗	joepie91	[occupy@edge13 scan]$ python test.py
05:27 ^🔗	joepie91	:)
05:28 ^🔗	joepie91	seems script works as intended
05:28 ^🔗	joepie91	and well... the 300 scan looks very very nice
05:28 ^🔗	chronomex	link?
05:28 ^🔗	joepie91	still uploading :P
05:28 ^🔗	joepie91	my upload is slow now that I no longer have fiber
05:29 ^🔗	chronomex	heh ok
05:29 ^🔗	SketchCow	I upload by mailing hard drives to internet archive.
05:30 ^🔗	SketchCow	I'm about to do.... a lot.
05:31 ^🔗	joepie91	this reminds me of the pigeon transport thing :P
05:31 ^🔗	joepie91	pigeons being faster than any internet connection
05:31 ^🔗	underscor	hahaha
05:31 ^🔗	underscor	yup
05:32 ^🔗	joepie91	lol
05:32 ^🔗	joepie91	maybe I should've compressed before uploading.
05:37 ^🔗	joepie91	chronomex: this is at 400 DPI: http://haless.cryto.net/wittegems.png
05:37 ^🔗	Sue	so big
05:38 ^🔗	joepie91	:P
05:38 ^🔗	Sue	that took like 30 seconds to load
05:38 ^🔗	joepie91	20+MB
05:38 ^🔗	Sue	that looks pretty good though
05:38 ^🔗	DFJustin	looks like it gets all the detail
05:38 ^🔗	joepie91	it is - I'm very pleased with this scanner
05:38 ^🔗	joepie91	although it's a bit slow
05:39 ^🔗	joepie91	it's one of those Canon LiDe scanners
05:39 ^🔗	joepie91	that uses LEDs for lighting
05:39 ^🔗	joepie91	and is USB-powered entirely
05:39 ^🔗	joepie91	most of all, it works on Linux without a hitch (unless you're using Fedora, then you have to install extra packages, because Fedora)
05:40 ^🔗	joepie91	this is at 300 DPI: http://haless.cryto.net/wittegems_300.png
05:40 ^🔗	joepie91	same cover
05:43 ^🔗	chronomex	some moire at 400
05:43 ^🔗	chronomex	300 looks better actually
05:44 ^🔗	chronomex	it was probably printed at 150lpi, so 300dpi is perfect
05:45 ^🔗	joepie91	yeah, I think I agree
05:45 ^🔗	chronomex	I mean
05:45 ^🔗	chronomex	you won't be able to see if one of the dots is missing
05:51 ^🔗	joepie91	http://sebsauvage.net/paste/?47086a5a6ab3c206#Env48QWFvh38/LXFlo9Wnrq7HAjkiPCDAjkd9lFewgg=
06:00 ^🔗	chronomex	nice
06:57 ^🔗	joepie91	hrm
06:57 ^🔗	joepie91	chronomex: finished scanning it
06:57 ^🔗	joepie91	450 MB of files lol
06:57 ^🔗	joepie91	what compression algorithm would you suggest for PNGs of a comic book?
06:58 ^🔗	joepie91	cc Sue DFJustin underscor
07:01 ^🔗	chronomex	um
07:01 ^🔗	chronomex	tiff with lossless compression
07:01 ^🔗	chronomex	upload to archive.org
07:01 ^🔗	chronomex	download the jpeg full-book-zip
07:10 ^🔗	joepie91	right, it's PNG now though
07:10 ^🔗	joepie91	any way to mass-convert?
07:11 ^🔗	joepie91	@ chronomex
07:15 ^🔗	chronomex	shellscript + 'convert $P.png $P.tif' or whatever
07:15 ^🔗	*	joepie91 sucks at bash :(
07:15 ^🔗	joepie91	anyway, aren't there particular options I need to use for the TIFF
07:15 ^🔗	joepie91	for compression etc
07:16 ^🔗	chronomex	yeah probably
07:16 ^🔗	chronomex	1sec
07:16 ^🔗	chronomex	meh
07:22 ^🔗	joepie91	ok, I really have no idea where to start and the man page for convert gives me a headache ._.
07:23 ^🔗	joepie91	chronomex: do you know off the top of your head how to throw a bunch of PNGs into a multipage TIFF with lossless compression? (just found out that multipage tiff is possible in the first place :P)
07:23 ^🔗	joepie91	using convert, or imagemagick, or something else commandline
07:23 ^🔗	joepie91	like, the switches you need for it
07:24 ^🔗	joepie91	ah, convert is part of imagemagick
07:27 ^🔗	SketchCow	Yes.
07:29 ^🔗	Sue	november is lets whatever file something month?
07:29 ^🔗	Sue	i wanna join, that's my birthday month
07:30 ^🔗	Sue	lets just solve the problem file formats
07:31 ^🔗	Sue	s/lets/let's/g
07:36 ^🔗	SketchCow	Get in #justsolve
07:40 ^🔗	joepie91	okay, my laptop is about to cry
07:40 ^🔗	joepie91	there we go lol
07:42 ^🔗	joepie91	09:42:07 up 38 days, 19:41, 3 users, load average: 7.41, 4.01, 3.54
07:42 ^🔗	joepie91	;_;

07:44 ^🔗	joepie91	lol
07:44 ^🔗	joepie91	the TIFF is already 332M
07:44 ^🔗	Sue	oh god
07:44 ^🔗	Sue	did you compress it?
07:45 ^🔗	joepie91	yes, ZIP
07:46 ^🔗	joepie91	it's done
07:46 ^🔗	joepie91	484M
07:50 ^🔗	joepie91	anyway, where to put it now? :P
07:51 ^🔗	joepie91	ohai Aranje
07:52 ^🔗	joepie91	SketchCow: where would one leave a scanned comic book considering it's probably still copyrighted?
07:55 ^🔗	SketchCow	Torrent site.
07:55 ^🔗	joepie91	fair enough
07:55 ^🔗	joepie91	anyway, that's for tomorrow, time to sleep now
07:55 ^🔗	joepie91	goodnight all
07:56 ^🔗	Sue	by the way SketchCow, thank you for writing Datapocalypso! â January 5, 2009
07:57 ^🔗	Sue	i remember reading that in 2009 and thinking how cool that was
08:05 ^🔗	SketchCow	No problem.
08:05 ^🔗	SketchCow	I write things that get people going.
08:05 ^🔗	SketchCow	This new website will be full of that.
08:10 ^🔗	BlueMax	Sounds fun. Maybe I can write something for it
14:01 ^🔗	DFJustin	joepie91/chronomex umm there's not really any point in converting png to tiff, archive.org understands both and the compression won't be any better
19:06 ^🔗	Sue	arkhive: did you get that osborne running?
19:07 ^🔗	arkhive	Sue: ooops. I meant to put it in A for the video. It does not work in either one. and when I press 'return' it always tries to use drive B
19:08 ^🔗	arkhive	nope :(
19:14 ^🔗	Sue	ok, at least you tried A; that comment on the video isn't me
19:14 ^🔗	Sue	sounds like a dead drive then, or maybe a dirty one
19:54 ^🔗	arkhive	heh. nice comment. whoever that was
20:01 ^🔗	Coderjoe	mmm
20:02 ^🔗	Coderjoe	and yet another news item to show the general public why url shorteners are evil: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/10/21/0720241/spammers-using-shortened-gov-urls
20:02 ^🔗	underscor	And open-url redirectors
20:02 ^🔗	underscor	er, move the hyphen to the right
20:05 ^🔗	Coderjoe	" I mean, a script with the ability to redirect to anything a user inputs, that just doesn't make any sense whatsoever."
20:05 ^🔗	Coderjoe	there is one use... if done a certain way, it can cause the browser to lose the referer.
20:06 ^🔗	Coderjoe	and even if done another way, the referer just shows the redirect page, rather than the actual page
20:07 ^🔗	Coderjoe	I don't know why a government site would need it, but if you were doing something like a hidden section of a site with direct downloads or torrents of tv show episodes and wanted to link to episode details on another site...
20:08 ^🔗	underscor	Yeah
20:08 ^🔗	underscor	Lots of private trackers use anonym.to
20:24 ^🔗	DFJustin	ah I got one of those spams the other day, mystery solved
20:24 ^🔗	chronomex	joepie91: ia deriver doesn't like multipage tiff, iirc.
21:22 ^🔗	DFJustin	SketchCow: I grabbed a big pile of amiga book pdfs off a site recently
21:22 ^🔗	DFJustin	haven't gotten around to archive.org-ing them yet
21:22 ^🔗	SketchCow	Excellent.
21:25 ^🔗	DFJustin	but some of the same books that french guy has (not all though)
22:07 ^🔗	godane	DFJustin: where did you get the amiga books
22:24 ^🔗	joepie91	chronomex: probably can't upload it to IA anyway
22:24 ^🔗	joepie91	because copyrighted still :P
22:24 ^🔗	chronomex	doesn't matter!
22:24 ^🔗	SketchCow	Yep, that stops us right dead
22:25 ^🔗	SketchCow	We just drop that shit into the burn barrel and look around for piano rolls from the 1860s
22:25 ^🔗	chronomex	lol
22:37 ^🔗	DFJustin	http://www.diystash.com/downloads/other/amiga
22:37 ^🔗	DFJustin	I got all the "ebooks" folder and started on "manuals"
22:37 ^🔗	DFJustin	but they only let you download like 10 a day or something
