Time Nickname Message
00:03 🔗 BlueMaxim Is it just me or did the JSTOR liberator stop working, it's stopped on "looking for unliberated item"
00:04 🔗 alard underscor must be hard at work.
00:04 🔗 SketchCow It will only let you do one.
00:04 🔗 BlueMaxim Oh.
00:04 🔗 BlueMaxim That's a shame, I would've done more.
00:05 🔗 alard That's one thing, but it's also not working.
00:05 🔗 SketchCow that's not the point.
00:05 🔗 BlueMaxim ...then what is...?
00:06 🔗 SketchCow Alard, how is it not working
00:06 🔗 alard SketchCow: It's returning error 500 when it requests an article.
00:07 🔗 SketchCow bet what... probably the redis died or something
00:08 🔗 alard Could be, although the number-of-documents-saved thing still works.
00:09 🔗 SketchCow I'm pinging underscor but maybe his teacher is blowing someone or something
00:13 🔗 SketchCow "Walking outside, will take a look at the next bench" - underscor
00:13 🔗 SketchCow That's the modern world
00:15 🔗 BlueMaxim no, that's someone who should probably be thrown into a mental asylum for overworking himself :P
00:15 🔗 BlueMaxim he's like the guy on bash.org who took a break from a shower to check IRC.
00:15 🔗 balrog_ :P
00:20 🔗 chronomex that's why we have phones
00:24 🔗 joepie91 BlueMax: that may be reasonable, depending on duration of shower
00:25 🔗 Coderjoe took a break from a shower? Why? http://i.imgur.com/mAEYX.jpg
00:26 🔗 joepie91 well, crap, I just realized my dumpsterdiving trip tonight is not going to contine
00:26 🔗 joepie91 continue *
00:26 🔗 joepie91 there's fresh snow outside
00:27 🔗 BlueMax is that Matthew Broderick?
00:27 🔗 Coderjoe no. fail.
00:28 🔗 BlueMax oh, sor-ry.
00:28 🔗 BlueMax apparently I'm extremely dumb today.
00:28 🔗 BlueMax surprised SketchCow hasn't kicked my ass for what I said in the main chan
00:28 🔗 Coderjoe http://youtu.be/N9qYF9DZPdw
00:29 🔗 dashcloud so, my business card hack mostly worked- needed to update biz card, had no software to put the color info back in (acrobat wasn't cooperating), so I uncompressed the pdf, and pasted in the color tags from the older version, recompressed it, and sent it to the printers
00:33 🔗 Coderjoe biz card?
00:33 🔗 dashcloud business card
00:33 🔗 Coderjoe duh
00:35 🔗 Coderjoe what is this hack
00:37 🔗 dashcloud I decompressed the PDF file and opened it up in a text editor, opened up the XML export from my correctly-color tagged PDF, copied the color tag section, and pasted it into my updated PDF file
00:37 🔗 dashcloud then I recompressed the new PDF file, and sent it off to the printer
00:48 🔗 Coderjoe oh
00:50 🔗 godane you guys got the full back issues of pc gamers hardware
00:55 🔗 GLaDOS Oh my, #archiveteam-twitter has been inundated with retweets/

01:51 🔗 chronomex sudo -s -u alard
01:51 🔗 chronomex oh, you'll have to chmod /dev/pts/2 go+rw
01:52 🔗 chronomex or something
01:52 🔗 SketchCow Why aren't you doing screen -r -D like a proper dick?
01:52 🔗 chronomex that would be appropriate, as archiveteam member
01:54 🔗 underscor lol
01:57 🔗 underscor hmm, he's not running redis in a screen
01:57 🔗 underscor that's annoying
01:58 🔗 SketchCow underscor: Please add a <center>This is currently broken. We're working on it.</center> in the top of the HTML
01:58 🔗 SketchCow Until it's fixed.
01:59 🔗 underscor SketchCow: done

01:59 🔗 SketchCow chop chop crisis boy
02:00 🔗 chronomex hahaha
02:00 🔗 underscor I'm trying to :C
02:00 🔗 underscor Restarting redis didn't fix it.
02:00 🔗 underscor Trying to find where he has the raw data so I can reimport it
02:01 🔗 chronomex hrm.
02:03 🔗 SketchCow Looks like it's working.
02:07 🔗 ex-parrot now it is almost working, it got as far as downloading the PDF and when I hit "submit" on the little JS popover iceweasel pegged at 100% CPU for the last few minutes (am using an i5, so it should have plenty of oomph)
02:08 🔗 chronomex underscor: where in redis are these jobs stored/
02:10 🔗 underscor In the todo, out, and done sets
02:11 🔗 underscor chronomex ^
02:11 🔗 chronomex none
02:11 🔗 chronomex redis 127.0.0.1:6379> type todo
02:11 🔗 chronomex ???
02:11 🔗 SketchCow it really looks like it's working.
02:11 🔗 SketchCow new papers are showing up
02:13 🔗 illunatic haha anonymous is crazy
02:13 🔗 illunatic replaced MIT's website with the memorial
02:14 🔗 underscor chronomex, port 6381
02:14 🔗 chronomex oh
02:14 🔗 chronomex nooo I don't have perms for this db
02:15 🔗 underscor I have the password...
02:15 🔗 underscor One sec, lemme find it
02:16 🔗 chronomex no worries I guess
02:18 🔗 chronomex hm, my chrome is stuck on "uploading"
02:19 🔗 ex-parrot similarly iceweasel gets stuck and wedges a CPU core here
02:27 🔗 underscor hmm
02:27 🔗 underscor I see no reason for it to hang on upkloading
02:27 🔗 underscor doing more testing
02:27 🔗 SketchCow It's working for some people
02:31 🔗 joepie91 how reliable is the liberator right now?
02:37 🔗 joepie91 cc SketchCow underscor
02:37 🔗 joepie91 so I can determine whether it would be wise to make an attempt to spread the word about it alreadey
02:37 🔗 joepie91 already *
02:37 🔗 chronomex please hold
02:37 🔗 joepie91 alright
02:37 🔗 chronomex it's working for some people but other browsers don't work
02:40 🔗 underscor hmm
02:40 🔗 underscor Everything worked fine for me in firefox 16
02:40 🔗 underscor Also, for testing purposes, you can delete the jstorlib_count cookie and do one more
02:41 🔗 joepie91 why does it only allow you to upload one
02:41 🔗 joepie91 also, worked for me
02:45 🔗 underscor joepie91: because it's not a liberation effort. it's to make a statement
02:45 🔗 joepie91 I see...
02:50 🔗 underscor I think I'm going to call it healthy
02:50 🔗 underscor Everything looks okay from this side
02:51 🔗 chronomex I think it's a weird with the bookmarklet
02:57 🔗 SketchCow Do it
02:58 🔗 SketchCow Remove the message
02:59 🔗 joepie91 I'll just leave this here: http://neuroconscience.com/2013/01/15/can-papster-do-for-academic-publishing-what-napster-did-for-the-music-industry/
03:00 🔗 ex-parrot the liberator still hangs up firefox here when I hit "upload"... any suggestions?
03:02 🔗 * BlueMob bows down in apology to the mighty SketchCow - your haystack of intelligence will always beat my needle
03:31 🔗 dashcloud so the bookmarklet and process work fine for me- thanks!
03:38 🔗 underscor SketchCow: removing message
03:51 🔗 SketchCow Thanks
04:08 🔗 GLaDOS https://twitter.com/So__Saddened This is just sick..
04:08 🔗 joepie91 well, 53 retweets on the YAN tweet about the liberator, that's not too bad
04:09 🔗 joepie91 yup
04:21 🔗 Aranje haha what the fuck
04:22 🔗 Aranje that's when you know you're doing shit right... westburo baptist church wants to show up at your funeral, and random trolls on twitter are trying to defame you after you're dead
04:22 🔗 Aranje fuuuuuck, what a bar to set for success
04:25 🔗 SketchCow The Liberator appears to have died again.
05:22 🔗 Sue reading about jstor liberator in ars, in my head i'm thinking this sounds like AT. reading further, "jason scott of ArchiveTeam" yup, thought so
05:23 🔗 * Sue scrolls up and reads
05:32 🔗 illunatic http://www.atheistberlin.com/shoes/the-charlie-d-blue-grey-ich-bin-atheist-sole-1.html i want these for my birthday
05:33 🔗 illunatic that's right Sue :/
05:35 🔗 illunatic trolls will be trolls
05:35 🔗 illunatic how fucked up is the guy who is so envious of the dead?
06:07 🔗 ersi Woot, cool. ArchiveTeam/JSTOR Liberator at ArsTechnica: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/aaron-swartz-memorial-jstor-liberator-sets-public-domain-academic-articles-free/
06:23 🔗 GLaDOS Guys, lets play Find the JSTOR employee!
06:27 🔗 joepie91 haha
06:29 🔗 Cameron_D You made me unhide joins/parts expecting that someone@*.jstor.org connected :c
06:34 🔗 GLaDOS Muahaha
06:38 🔗 GLaDOS So tempted to buy jstor.xxx and make it show the dirty backend of jstor somehow.
06:38 🔗 chronomex hahahaha
06:39 🔗 GLaDOS Either jstor.xxx or archiveteam.xx
06:39 🔗 chronomex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweat_of_the_brow#US_copyright_law <-- strong argument that JSTOR has 0 enforceable copyright interest in PD works
06:39 🔗 chronomex if anyone needs ammo
06:56 🔗 chronomex somehow by posting the liberator in a private BT tracker channel I fired up a debate about how copyright is actually a good thing
06:56 🔗 chronomex wtf??
06:57 🔗 underscor haha
07:00 🔗 GLaDOS Interesting..
07:01 🔗 joepie91 chronomex: that is what could be considered an unexpected outcome
07:01 🔗 chronomex very
07:01 🔗 joepie91 :P
07:12 🔗 Coderjoe good Bob...
07:13 🔗 Coderjoe the callous retards posting comments on some of these article
07:13 🔗 Coderjoe s
07:13 🔗 Coderjoe "He's still a liberal, and the only good liberal, is a dead liberal. Sorry. So, a liberal does something good sometime. Does that make up for all the other BS they have caused?"
07:15 🔗 chronomex true
07:15 🔗 chronomex i feel the same way about insensitive jerks though
07:15 🔗 chronomex so it balances out
08:34 🔗 alard Hello, hello. It looks like tonights problems are solved? Good work.
09:42 🔗 SketchCow Yes
09:42 🔗 SketchCow Poor little underscor
09:43 🔗 SketchCow he basically had been up for 34 hours. Poor planning plus college makeout sessions, I assume
09:43 🔗 SketchCow He fell asleep at his chair
09:45 🔗 alard Oh. That's not good.
09:45 🔗 SketchCow Yeah
09:45 🔗 SketchCow I hope he's sleeping properly now
09:46 🔗 SketchCow These kids
09:49 🔗 SketchCow Peters stopped short of blaming prosecutors for Swartz.s suicide.
09:49 🔗 SketchCow .I.m too much a student of human ­nature to ascribe a 26-year-old.s suicide to any one thing,. Peters said. .Only God and Aaron know why that happened..
09:49 🔗 SketchCow But that doesn.t mean Peters is in a forgiv­ing mood. He got a voicemail from Heymann on Saturday.
09:49 🔗 SketchCow .I.m sure he was sincere,. Peters said. .But I can.t call him back. Either I.ll say something I shouldn.t say, or I.m going to act like I accept his condolences, which I don.t. So the only thing I can do is not call him back..
09:54 🔗 SketchCow Anyway, great work, alard.
09:54 🔗 SketchCow And underscor, when he wakes up.
09:54 🔗 SketchCow I'm burning out on Aaronsw stuff
09:55 🔗 SketchCow But I'm glad we're going to inspire some people.
09:55 🔗 SketchCow And help burn off a little anger
09:57 🔗 SketchCow For my own, I feel so much better.
09:58 🔗 SketchCow I will miss my friend very much and I am sad we will not see him do more great things, but his life, short as it was, was a brilliant spark across the sky. I will never forget him and all he knew from me was love.
09:59 🔗 SketchCow Tomorrow, JSTOR is going to shit a brick inside a larger, more miserable brick
09:59 🔗 SketchCow I can't wait
10:03 🔗 Smiley a DDoS?
10:09 🔗 SketchCow Whoops, stayed up a tad late
10:10 🔗 SketchCow zzz
10:51 🔗 ersi Smiley: I assume he's refering to the JSTOR Liberator campaign. When they'll see 10k different IPs have downloaded one paper each
10:52 🔗 ersi That's not a DDoS, and I'm sure their web server can handle that. It's static files and all
10:55 🔗 godane so i got all most of thebox.bz forums right now
10:55 🔗 godane just need to get archive and sin bin sections
11:16 🔗 Smiley ersi: lol,
11:27 🔗 Smiley errrr
11:27 🔗 Smiley Starting GetItemFromTracker for Item
11:27 🔗 Smiley Finished PrepareDirectories for Item dts/betabuilder
11:27 🔗 Smiley Received item 'dts/betabuilder' from tracker
11:27 🔗 Smiley Starting PrepareDirectories for Item dts/betabuilder
11:27 🔗 Smiley Starting WgetDownload for Item dts/betabuilder
11:27 🔗 Smiley Thats been like that for at least 24hrs
11:29 🔗 alard Is that yahoo?
11:30 🔗 Smiley I'm not sure
11:30 🔗 Smiley all the other yahoo don't have a /
11:30 🔗 Smiley So i'm a bit confused.
11:30 🔗 Smiley #46668, and the rest are in teh range of #404682
11:30 🔗 Smiley I'll tell the wariror to shutdown and restart
11:31 🔗 Smiley It's possible its been stuck for a lot longer (I've been off a week, and hadn't checked it recently before that either).
11:32 🔗 alard It's probably GitHub. https://github.com/dts/betabuilder
11:34 🔗 Smiley :o
11:35 🔗 GLaDOS but how
11:37 🔗 Smiley how what?
11:37 🔗 Smiley how did it iend up downloading github?
12:04 🔗 GLaDOS I thought github has finished
12:14 🔗 godane https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/shorten-excessive-copyright-terms/XMc72zjc
12:14 🔗 godane some one wants copyright to be 10 years max
12:16 🔗 godane i normal just go with origninal term of copyright
12:16 🔗 godane first term 14 years
12:17 🔗 godane if author needs more time and is still alive he can get another 14 years
13:24 🔗 godane does anyone here have invites to xspeeds?
13:24 🔗 godane *xspeeds.net
14:20 🔗 GLaDOS Huh, we suddenly have a flood of tweets about the JSTOR liberator in another language, what I presume to be either Spanish or Italian
14:52 🔗 balrog_ alard: "millions of dollars in fees" -> "millions of dollars in fines"
14:53 🔗 alard balrog_: underscor.
14:53 🔗 balrog_ oh ok :p
14:53 🔗 alard He's probably asleep.
14:53 🔗 balrog_ yeah...
14:57 🔗 illunatic oh it's on arse
14:57 🔗 illunatic is someone from arse lurking?
14:57 🔗 illunatic ard*
14:57 🔗 illunatic arg >_<
14:57 🔗 illunatic too early too type. c ya
15:14 🔗 SketchCow Did I mention my FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD is someone who goes "hm" and then attempts to declare the legitimacy of a project?
15:19 🔗 balrog_ that sounds all too familiar :\
15:21 🔗 illunatic hm
15:21 🔗 illunatic sounds legit
15:23 🔗 Smiley hmm?
15:26 🔗 Smiley i reset that warrior now GLaDOS. It was still sitting there D:
15:29 🔗 Smiley now it looks a lot more healthy
15:43 🔗 SketchCow alard: Any thoughts as to why the thing just.... stops?
15:43 🔗 SketchCow We've had it happen before.
15:43 🔗 SketchCow Then underscor would log in to look at it and he claims it would just start as he did it.
15:45 🔗 alard It doesn't give a reason for the 500 error? The Redis server seems healthy and it's still responding to the item counts.
15:45 🔗 balrog_ recommendation for later: the AT scripts should ensure that wget-lua exists before trying to run things.
15:45 🔗 alard Heh. Something for the seesaw-kit issues list on github?
15:45 🔗 SketchCow You have to ask underscor, but maybe he's looking in the wrong place.
15:46 🔗 balrog_ seems related to https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/seesaw-kit/issues/10
15:46 🔗 SketchCow hm. the AT scripts should ensure that wget-lua exists before trying to run things. it undermines the legitmacy of the whole project.
15:46 🔗 SketchCow I spoke to four other people at my aspberger's support group and they all agreed with me.
15:46 🔗 SketchCow Shhh, don't disturb them, they're under this cup.
15:46 🔗 balrog_ I dunno why you seem to take things personally...
15:47 🔗 SketchCow Oh, that would be because I am taking things personally.
15:47 🔗 balrog_ because that's not the point
15:47 🔗 Smiley This Time. Its Personal.
15:47 🔗 SketchCow Every Time. It's Personal.
15:49 🔗 godane i'm going to see about getting a invite to xspeeds.com
15:49 🔗 SketchCow What is that?
15:49 🔗 godane a private torrent site
15:50 🔗 godane i'm not sure if has the old x-play videos i was looking for
15:50 🔗 SketchCow Do you really want me to explain why I'm taking things "personal", balrog?
15:51 🔗 SketchCow I don't think you'll be very happy at the end of my explanation.
15:51 🔗 SketchCow (Spoiler)
15:52 🔗 godane since it changed from xtremespeeds to xspeeds in may have lost the older stuff
15:52 🔗 godane if anything i may try to mirror the forums
15:53 🔗 godane just know private torrent forums are like the old bbs
15:53 🔗 godane there up for years then there gone
15:54 🔗 balrog_ yeah, and gone quickly
15:54 🔗 godane some of the ones i'm getting are up for like 6 years
15:55 🔗 alard SketchCow: We should have a look when underscor is awake.
15:55 🔗 alard I could restart the Redis server. That might fix it for the time being, or it might break the web page.
15:55 🔗 alard Want to try that?
15:56 🔗 SketchCow I am up for anything.
15:56 🔗 SketchCow Webpage shouldn't BREAK, should it?
15:56 🔗 SketchCow He should really have given you credentials on the server
15:56 🔗 SketchCow I'm very happy, though - he's getting some good real-world experience with this one.
15:56 🔗 alard Probably not, but there's a small chance that the server won't like losing the redis connection and crashes.
16:01 🔗 SketchCow http://idealab.talkingpointsmemo.com/2013/01/aaron-swartz-article-liberator-tool-released-by-archive-team.php
16:01 🔗 balrog_ does anyone know about how long it takes before yahoo starts sending 999s?
16:02 🔗 SketchCow When asked about the tool, JSTOR spokesperson Heidi McGregor responded with the following statement: .This tool enables individuals to download content that is already freely available to the world from JSTOR, including for re-use and distribution, as part of our Early Journal Content..
16:02 🔗 balrog_ lol.
16:02 🔗 SketchCow Scott said he relished the idea of JSTOR asking him to stop the memorial or taking him to court over the protest.
16:02 🔗 SketchCow .What a lovely day that would that would be,. Scott said. Instead, he told TPM he thought that JSTOR would issue a .limp-wristed, lukewarm statement,. decrying the use of the bookmarklet.
16:02 🔗 balrog_ lol they didn't even do that
16:03 🔗 SketchCow Well, they did.
16:03 🔗 SketchCow They decryed it in this lame little "it's available"
16:03 🔗 SketchCow But you have to click through the onerous terms of service
16:04 🔗 balrog_ I don't want anyone to take this personally again but TPM's description of the tpb torrent is simply incorrect... no surprise though...
16:04 🔗 alard SketchCow: Fixed it, I think. (But it needs attention from underscor later.)
16:05 🔗 SketchCow (I'm waiting to see if there's an update.)
16:06 🔗 balrog_ it's funny how the JSTOR spokesperson says the articles are "already freely available to the world from JSTOR, including for re-use and distribution" yet the TOS says the opposite
16:07 🔗 SketchCow Hilarious.
16:08 🔗 balrog_ all this makes me wonder what other databases have paywalled out-of-copyright material. not all have a clickthrough TOS...
16:09 🔗 alard No, it doesn't work yet.
16:11 🔗 mistym balrog_: More than a few, sadly.
16:12 🔗 mistym It makes me cringe when I hear archivists talk about doing digitization of out-of-copyright works by partnering with an organization that will stick them behind a paywall.
16:13 🔗 Schbirid or google
16:13 🔗 mistym Yeah, or that.
16:13 🔗 balrog_ doesn't google publish out-of-copyright works though?
16:13 🔗 Coderjoe or even the archive/archivist themselves taking a stance of "I have the physical copy this came from and put forth the effort to scan it. Therefore, it is MINE and you can't copy it!"
16:13 🔗 balrog_ yeah, there are historical societies around here that are like that ;(
16:14 🔗 mistym Google's definition is sometimes weird (in Canada they restrict access to plenty of stuff that's PD), but yeah, usually.
16:14 🔗 mistym At a conference I was at awhile ago someone was presenting about having partnered with some commercial company to digitize some WW2 holocaust documents, which will result in them being paywalled for years and years.
16:14 🔗 balrog_ ugh...
16:14 🔗 balrog_ but are those out of copyright?
16:14 🔗 Smiley is an unaccessable (freely) digital copy worse than no digital copy at all?
16:14 🔗 mistym Life + 50 years in Canada. Some of them would be.
16:15 🔗 mistym Someone asked them if they'd looked at archive.org as an affordable alternative.
16:15 🔗 mistym They kind of just went "Well, these guys gave us a good deal..."
16:15 🔗 balrog_ ugh.
16:15 🔗 Coderjoe how about a deal of FREE?
16:16 🔗 balrog_ it would not surprise me if someone from the group that had the documents had a friend in the commercial company
16:16 🔗 balrog_ that happens quite a lot
16:16 🔗 Coderjoe possibly with a "you get me in and I'll get you a kickback" deal?
16:17 🔗 balrog_ oh I'm certain that happens
16:17 🔗 SketchCow 8450847998 Creative Computing v06n10_October1980
16:17 🔗 SketchCow 17666529242 Creative Computing v08n12_December1982
16:17 🔗 SketchCow Ha ha.
16:17 🔗 SketchCow Well, apparently Creative Computing December 1982 was pretty fuckin' big.
16:17 🔗 SketchCow 17gb zip, from 600dpi images
16:17 🔗 Coderjoe yow
16:17 🔗 balrog_ these are full color scans I'm assuming
16:18 🔗 SketchCow You literally said that
16:18 🔗 balrog_ because those sizes.... sound about right.
16:18 🔗 SketchCow Now stand over a car accident and say that probably hurt.
16:19 🔗 SketchCow Just checked. October 1980 is 198 pages.
16:19 🔗 SketchCow And December 1982 was.... 436
16:19 🔗 SketchCow Damn, December 1982 was the good times
16:19 🔗 SketchCow God, to get a 436 page computer magazine
16:20 🔗 alard SketchCow: I think it works now, more or less. The Redis-client has problems: on some connections it doesn't send the password, and also forgets to select the right database.
16:20 🔗 Coderjoe computer shopper?
16:20 🔗 SketchCow Computer shopper's a different experience
16:20 🔗 SketchCow But they are amazing too
16:21 🔗 mistym balrog_: What especially bugged me here was that they had to try to sell this to the donor of many of the items, since the donor wanted them publicly available. They finally settled for a compromise where local access through physical stations in the university library would be available. (But of course no one else.)
16:21 🔗 balrog_ ugh... there should have been no compromises from the donor. :(
16:21 🔗 mistym Especially since they talked about the emotional moment when a survivor's family had come across documents relating to their family. Which won't happen for most people since they'll never even know they're available.
16:21 🔗 SketchCow https://twitter.com/textfiles/status/291218594635841536
16:22 🔗 SketchCow alard: Is this something fixable, or the nature of the client program"?
16:23 🔗 alard I think it's a problem with the library. But we can work around it by not asking for a password and using the default database.
16:23 🔗 Coderjoe mistym: argh! where was this? urge to liberate these documents is rising
16:25 🔗 SketchCow Fuck, it's almost noon.
16:25 🔗 SketchCow http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fcache.nevkontakte.com%2Fproxy.html#go=http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/oclcscam
16:25 🔗 SketchCow He deleted the original off his website.
16:25 🔗 SketchCow Naughty Aaron, he tried to clean up some things before he went.
16:28 🔗 balrog_ he even robots.txt'd that
16:29 🔗 mistym Coderjoe: I'm not actually sure if the paywalled part is even online yet. Back in June it sounded like they were still working on it.
16:34 🔗 SketchCow This creative computing two new issues thing is going to take a while.
16:35 🔗 SketchCow I bet the 436 page one takes upward of 6 hours to derive.
16:44 🔗 DFJustin still a nice illustration of why you don't actually have to care about preemptively compressing the shit out of things anymore
16:48 🔗 SketchCow That's the idea, yes
16:55 🔗 SketchCow Certainly, when Kevin and I were discussing the creation of these, we talked about how to do them in a way that had a lasting effect.
16:55 🔗 SketchCow I insisted on TIFFs, 600dpi
16:58 🔗 balrog_ how much processing does derive do to decrease file size to something more manageable for end-users? in any case it's awesome that original tiffs are preserved :)
16:58 🔗 SketchCow go read a lock
17:10 🔗 chronomex what does that even mean?
17:11 🔗 SketchCow you know....
17:11 🔗 SketchCow I came back to this window, that was there.
17:11 🔗 SketchCow And I swear, I don't remember typing that.
17:11 🔗 SketchCow So I'm going to go deliver some mail. :)
17:11 🔗 SketchCow And forget I'm crazy
17:11 🔗 SketchCow Mailing an accordion
17:11 🔗 Smiley I do that all teh time.
17:12 🔗 Smiley forget I've written stuff.
17:12 🔗 SketchCow Internet Archive scanner is in nominal place in the room
17:12 🔗 Smiley then look at it and think to myself "I was going to write that!"
17:12 🔗 Smiley then I notice I have, and feel a bit weird....
17:13 🔗 DFJustin I'm assuming "lock" is a voice recognition error for "log"
17:14 🔗 balrog_ most of us here are crazy in some way or other
17:15 🔗 Schbirid i am not
17:15 🔗 Schbirid me neither
17:20 🔗 Schbirid so, what windows 7 edition should i get for my father?
17:22 🔗 balrog_ around here I generally run pro or enterprise, since that's what's easiest to get (legally ofc)
17:22 🔗 Schbirid yeah, pro sounds most reasonable. the home editions are kinda castrated
17:22 🔗 balrog_ yeah.
17:23 🔗 Schbirid he was seriously planning to continue using windows xp on his new pc
17:23 🔗 balrog_ :|
18:14 🔗 Schbirid dear god, the fedora 18 installer makes me instantly hate everything about it
18:14 🔗 Schbirid a "done" button in the top left corner
18:14 🔗 Schbirid lots of whitespace and "simple" icons
18:15 🔗 Schbirid no, in the partition thing the "continue" button is in the bottom right
18:15 🔗 Schbirid because fuck you, the installer is a piece of contemporary art
18:16 🔗 Schbirid it is all black and white
18:17 🔗 Schbirid except for alert signs that make me feel like i did something wrong
18:17 🔗 Schbirid but they are basically just mean "click here to continue"
18:17 🔗 joepie91 Schbirid: well, why are you installing Fedora
18:17 🔗 joepie91 :P
18:18 🔗 Schbirid because i thought i should check out what mainstream desktop linux is up to nowadays
18:20 🔗 Schbirid fuck
18:20 🔗 Schbirid i remember installing suse 4 or 5 once
18:21 🔗 Schbirid during the installation it showed the packages it was installing with their descriptions
18:21 🔗 Schbirid so you could sit there and actually see what was going on and what was installed and think of the things these things might do
18:21 🔗 Schbirid it was great (i had no clue about anything at all)
18:22 🔗 Schbirid fedora 18 shows me a blue bar which is about 60% done and on top of that it tells me "Installing software 85%"
18:23 🔗 Schbirid "performing post-install setup tasks"
18:23 🔗 Schbirid wow
18:24 🔗 Schbirid i hope it already performed the post-setup install tasks
18:26 🔗 Schbirid lol, excited about the lack of quality assurance? "Fedora is now successfully installed on your system and readyfor you to use! When you are ready, reboot your system to start using it!" (carbon copy)
18:26 🔗 Schbirid the only button available right now says "quit"
18:26 🔗 Schbirid i should turn this into a blog post rant
18:28 🔗 joepie91 Schbirid: suse > fedora
18:28 🔗 Schbirid lol, i finally found where i can reboot. it was hidden behind "Live System User" (not Activities) and the label is "Power Off"
18:28 🔗 joepie91 or opensuse, rather
18:28 🔗 joepie91 fedora is horrible
18:28 🔗 Schbirid then i can "Restart"
18:29 🔗 joepie91 I'm using it right now, only because I can't afford not having a working laptop and this is what it came with
18:29 🔗 Schbirid i have archlinux on my netbook because i cannot afford that either
18:29 🔗 joepie91 :/
18:29 🔗 Schbirid (just kidding, i am a student)
18:29 🔗 joepie91 anyway, if you have the ability to reinstall your machine, I'd recommend opensuse over fedora
18:29 🔗 Schbirid its just a vbox
18:29 🔗 joepie91 then definitely try opensuse :P
18:30 🔗 Schbirid i'd not go near anything red hat in real life
18:30 🔗 joepie91 anyway, I had this nice thing just a few days ago with Fedora where no new Chromium packages appeared for Fedora 16
18:30 🔗 joepie91 because Fedora 17 was new stable
18:30 🔗 joepie91 except F16 isn't EOL yet
18:30 🔗 joepie91 so I was three major versions behind on chromium
18:30 🔗 joepie91 like, wtf
18:30 🔗 joepie91 Schbirid: opensuse isn't redhat :)
18:31 🔗 Schbirid yeah, i meant fedora
18:31 🔗 joepie91 ah, right
18:32 🔗 joepie91 anyway, Schbirid, I actually quite frequently have to look up packages on the opensuse package search
18:32 🔗 joepie91 for fedora
18:32 🔗 joepie91 because the fedora repos are so shit, incomplete, and outdated :|
18:32 🔗 joepie91 it's a bit ridiculous really
18:35 🔗 Schbirid fuck, i just realised this shit did not ask me what wm i wanted, i thought i could choose xfce
19:01 🔗 joepie91 Schbirid: afaik opensuse is the only distro that asks that
19:01 🔗 joepie91 all other distros either come with one WM/DE or have a few separate variants (like ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, etc)
19:02 🔗 joepie91 anyway
19:02 🔗 joepie91 you can install xfce
22:40 🔗 chronomex busily raging about hbase
22:46 🔗 ersi http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/15/lost-on-new-myspace-cant-escape-justin-send-help/
22:46 🔗 ersi Bahaha, seriously something I enjoyed reading.. on... Techcrunch.
22:46 🔗 ersi Never thought I'd write that..
