00:49 ๐Ÿ”— DFJustin Important: Exciting changes to your Flickr account
00:49 ๐Ÿ”— DFJustin i'm excited already
00:49 ๐Ÿ”— ivan` does archive.org really want scene releases? ;)
00:50 ๐Ÿ”— balrog ivan`: blacked out I suppose yes
00:51 ๐Ÿ”— DFJustin https://archive.org/details/scene_notice_pack_2010
00:53 ๐Ÿ”— ivan` neat
01:01 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ It is just a bunch of text files
01:21 ๐Ÿ”— godane i'm uploading gphoria 2004
01:38 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud so, this isn't exactly the same as the floppy emulator folks were asking for earlier, but it's interesting in its own right: http://goughlui.com/?p=3126 & http://goughlui.com/?p=3246
01:41 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud that blog also has a fascinating series on the kryoflux: from what it is/why you would want it, all the way through trying it on disks and solving the issues that happen when trying to dump less-than-perfect condition disks
01:46 ๐Ÿ”— DFJustin that actually sounds exactly like what Coderjoe wanted
03:38 ๐Ÿ”— godane what happen here to this item: https://archive.org/details/Gphoria_Prephoria_2004_With_Commercials
03:39 ๐Ÿ”— godane i think i see now
03:39 ๐Ÿ”— godane it has not fully rsync the item
03:46 ๐Ÿ”— godane its fixed
04:31 ๐Ÿ”— DFJustin somebody asked about virus preservation https://archive.org/details/Viruses-20040521
04:47 ๐Ÿ”— BlueMax I got that Flickr email
04:47 ๐Ÿ”— BlueMax good luck to us when we try to archive that bastard
05:33 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ wow is it dead
05:36 ๐Ÿ”— godane upload: https://archive.org/details/Attack.of.the.Show.2008.04.20
05:45 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ I finally made some time to start watching game of thrones season 3
06:09 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley joepie91: Having to grab flickr images is something that make come up again in the future
06:09 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley there is plenty of windows tools for it too
06:33 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow Love the virus
07:02 ๐Ÿ”— Coderjoe god how I hate floppies
07:02 ๐Ÿ”— Coderjoe stupid embroidery machine is failing to read any disks with designs on them, preventing jobs from getting finished.
07:04 ๐Ÿ”— Coderjoe and, because it is an embedded system, it can't just use an off-the-shelf drive. it has to use one set to DS0 and with a different ready/diskchange signaling
07:35 ๐Ÿ”— ersi http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2013/05/21/300-old-radioshack-manuals/
07:35 ๐Ÿ”— ersi yay, archive.org items linked publicly \o/
08:16 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 Coderjoe: I like floppies... I saved some data on some Verbatim 3.5 inch sized floppy disks in 1998, I put them into my floppy drive a few days ago and they could be read without issues
10:41 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 https://github.com/meltingice/flickr-store
10:41 ๐Ÿ”— Frowny joepie91: oo
10:42 ๐Ÿ”— Frowny looking, as I'm concidering moving all my stuff to gDrive now
10:42 ๐Ÿ”— Frowny screw yahoo :/
10:42 ๐Ÿ”— BlueMax that's our motto.
10:42 ๐Ÿ”— Frowny Ah, no use D:
11:05 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud Coderjoe: not sure if you saw this earlier- http://goughlui.com/?p=3126 & http://goughlui.com/?p=3246 I wasn't sure if this if what you were you looking for (a USB floppy emulator), but it's pretty close
11:43 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid nice http://arc.opera.com/
14:04 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley hmmm
14:04 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley wonder if tumblr is going to start using flickr storage
14:12 ๐Ÿ”— Cameron_D I noticed that they recently switched from s3 to edgecast for images
14:13 ๐Ÿ”— Cameron_D and according to edgecast's front page they serve yahoo
14:15 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Cameron_D: heh
14:15 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley 1. get flickr users paying for storage
14:15 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley 2. move tumblr images onto the same storage as flickr users
14:16 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley 3. charge tumblr users for the amount of image space/storage they need
14:16 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 Is Flickr being owned by Yahoo?
14:16 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 Just asking
14:16 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley It is already owned by Yahoo yes.
14:17 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 Well, if they wish to destroy Flickr, any of the listed options will do fine
14:18 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley norbert79: well 1. is kind of happening already
14:18 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley they increased the free boundry to 1Tb, which, yes, is nice
14:18 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley They are changing pro accounts into a $49/yr for no ads (and nothing else) and then $500 for more storage, maybe another Tb, I forget.
14:19 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 yes, I read that, which can be still an acceptable step, but the rest will be make tumblr go down for sure
14:19 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Indeed.
14:20 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 Whatever Yahoo touches goes into dust and fades away
14:20 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Anyway I'm currently grabbing all my flickr images again, just in case.
14:20 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Going to invest in Google drive and see how that feels.
14:21 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley As it gives me nice easy access, autouploading, etc etc.
14:21 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 I remember reading an article of the former (?) CEO of Yahoo; she big faced told workers to work in the office, no home office... She should have told everyone else too, that she has a company car and she lives close to the office... Also she proudly returned to work after 2 weeks after the birth of her son (?)... Someone is career oriented
14:22 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley "Google+ Photos is a great way to upload and share your photos. Photos larger than 2048 pixels use Google Drive storage. You can store an unlimited number of smaller photos for free."
14:22 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley This is why I like google too
14:22 ๐Ÿ”— Baljem current CEO, Marissa Mayer - formerly of Google
14:22 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Small photos are free :D
14:22 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 Baljem: Yes, her
14:24 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 In my experience female leaders never decide upon logic, but upon emotions, which lead to such disaster: http://money.cnn.com/2013/02/25/technology/yahoo-work-from-home/index.html
14:27 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Hmmm
14:28 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 especially during times where companies cut costs by NOT maintining unnecessary offices
14:30 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley nod.
14:55 ๐Ÿ”— ersi norbert79: Flickr has been Yahoo! owned for quite some time now, though.
14:55 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 ersi: That's why I asked as I wasn't up-to-date behalf of that as not being a FLickr user :)
14:56 ๐Ÿ”— ersi Yeah, I'm just filling in that they're not just owning Flickr - but they've actually been owning Flickr for quite some time :p
14:57 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley Well I found a java based tool for downloading a users flickr stuff (as that user, I've not tried the search yet).
14:58 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley http://flickredit.javaforge.com/webstart/flickredit.jnlp
14:59 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley I can't do the java web start on here to test, so I did it in a XP vm.
14:59 ๐Ÿ”— Smiley I wonder if you can extract the jar though?
15:24 ๐Ÿ”— pft youa re just trying to pull flickr images through their api?
15:41 ๐Ÿ”— ersi http://blog.archive-it.org/2013/05/21/the-next-big-thing-archiving-tumblr-in-the-shadow-of-geocities-preservation
15:41 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid_ tumblr is fairly huge
15:42 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid_ http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/5/20/the-tumblr-architecture-yahoo-bought-for-a-cool-billion-doll.html
15:42 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid_ "Posts are about 50GB a day. Follower list updates are about 2.7TB a day."
15:43 ๐Ÿ”— ersi Archive-it == Internet Archive by the way
15:44 ๐Ÿ”— DFJustin more like archive-it รขยŠย‚ Internet Archive
15:46 ๐Ÿ”— joepie91 Tumblr is what I'd classify as "pretty fucking big"
15:49 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid_ someone will go CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, wait for it
16:05 ๐Ÿ”— Aranje Ain't gonna be me, I'mma wait for it
16:24 ๐Ÿ”— Schbirid_ ouch, github 405d when i was creating a new repo and now it says the repo exists but it doesnt show
19:59 ๐Ÿ”— godane g4tv.com-video48648-flvhd: Star Wars PAX 2010 Panel: http://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video48648-flvhd
22:16 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud Coderjoe: this is probably the device you want for a floppy emulator: http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/
23:23 ๐Ÿ”— godane it looks like theblaze.com site is getting backed up more now
23:24 ๐Ÿ”— godane it like jumped in march cause before it was like 10 or few grabs
23:24 ๐Ÿ”— godane which is very bad for archiving a new site
23:24 ๐Ÿ”— godane *news site
23:53 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ godane, that is your opinion. I like to think the IA has a good idea on how often a site needs to be backed up since it is one of their primary functions.
23:55 ๐Ÿ”— godane i know
23:55 ๐Ÿ”— godane its just better then it was before
23:56 ๐Ÿ”— godane before you only see a few captures a month
23:57 ๐Ÿ”— godane i'm not saying there grabing all of it
23:57 ๐Ÿ”— omf_ The number of grabs has no discernible correlation to how deep each grab is.
23:58 ๐Ÿ”— godane but at least the front page is being grabed more often
23:58 ๐Ÿ”— godane also i did do a deep grab back in 2012-09-03
23:59 ๐Ÿ”— godane so we have at least all stories from that far back
