00:06 🔗 godane so i got commandn from 2007 downloaded
00:06 🔗 joepie91 damnit
00:07 🔗 joepie91 my ereader froze
00:07 🔗 * joepie91 hard resets
00:31 🔗 omf_ Sorry ivan I will be using transmission. I haven't used windows in over a decade
00:32 🔗 Coderjoe i have heard that utorrent works acceptably in wine
00:32 🔗 godane so looks like episode 119 of commandn is over 300mb
00:32 🔗 balrog I use transmission
00:32 🔗 Coderjoe haven't tried it, though
00:32 🔗 balrog it supports uTP just fine
00:33 🔗 godane this is above the norm
00:34 🔗 joepie91 Transmission has a tendency of trashing my disk :(
00:35 🔗 * joepie91 normally always uses Tixati, <3 it
00:38 🔗 joepie91 still wondering how in the hell they got Linux with QT to run on an ereader
00:38 🔗 joepie91 but okay
00:43 🔗 omf_ Digital Ocean just gave me more account credit to win me back after the shit service
01:05 🔗 joepie91 omf_: never quite understood that
01:06 🔗 joepie91 "ah, so you didn't like our service? here you go, more credit to use our service that you did not want in the first place!"
01:11 🔗 cmx "tastes like catfood? thanks for the feedback, here's some coupons!"
01:12 🔗 joepie91 haha, yup
01:12 🔗 joepie91 also
01:13 🔗 joepie91 turns out the Action sells printer cables again
01:13 🔗 joepie91 mini USB
01:13 🔗 joepie91 \o/
01:13 🔗 joepie91 1 euro per cable yay!
01:13 🔗 Coderjoe joepie91: I have a cheap ereader that ran linux with a QT UI from the factory. and how is it different from running android?
01:14 🔗 joepie91 Coderjoe: an OYO by any chance? (or another name, produced/supplied by Medion at least)
01:14 🔗 Coderjoe kobo
01:15 🔗 joepie91 well, idk, I just never expected a standard QT UI to play nice with an e-ink screen
01:15 🔗 joepie91 ah
01:15 🔗 joepie91 also
01:15 🔗 Coderjoe i'm sure it is a custom setup that periodically issues a blank command to the screen
01:15 🔗 joepie91 the batteyr on this thing lasts _forever_
01:15 🔗 joepie91 battery *
01:16 🔗 Coderjoe the screen on mine is held in a color frame buffer
01:16 🔗 Coderjoe (others have hacked it and accessed the screen and such)
01:16 🔗 joepie91 there's been quite a bit of hacking for this as well
01:16 🔗 Coderjoe sadly, I never did get around to hacking it to use for the project I wanted it for
01:17 🔗 joepie91 http://wiki.techinc.nl/index.php/OYO_Hacking
01:17 🔗 Coderjoe (eink display with wifi that wasn't so expensive that I was worried about it walking off)
01:17 🔗 joepie91 and primarily
01:17 🔗 joepie91 http://www.fwma.de/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.OYO?color=orange
01:17 🔗 joepie91 heh
01:17 🔗 joepie91 this one was like 100 euro when I got it
01:18 🔗 joepie91 eink + wifi also
01:18 🔗 joepie91 and a browser
01:18 🔗 joepie91 a proper, HTML5 and CSS3 capable, webkit-based browser
01:18 🔗 joepie91 with JS support
01:18 🔗 Coderjoe the kobo also has a browser
01:18 🔗 Coderjoe I wanted the display for my project to be without widgets
01:19 🔗 Coderjoe i don't remember much about the browser in the kobo, however
01:20 🔗 joepie91 :P
01:20 🔗 joepie91 anyway
01:20 🔗 joepie91 time to sleep
01:20 🔗 joepie91 if you ever want to download books from the kobo
01:20 🔗 joepie91 http://books.cryto.net/ :D
01:20 🔗 joepie91 anyway, goodnight
01:21 🔗 Coderjoe i haven't bought any
01:25 🔗 BlueMax I wonder why most virtual machine providers are removing Windows 9x support
01:29 🔗 Coderjoe what do you mean by support? guest-side drivers?
01:30 🔗 Coderjoe it could be that they don't see any reason to continue to put money into maintaining the drivers, as they don't think anybody is using them
01:31 🔗 BlueMax well I mean VirtualBox barely supports Windows 98 in general and VMware are dropping official support, it's just a question of how we can run legacy W9x applications without resorting to hardware which will probably be gone in a few more years
01:32 🔗 Coderjoe what about qemu?
01:33 🔗 BlueMax qemu?
01:35 🔗 Coderjoe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QEMU
01:38 🔗 BlueMax well, looks like I'm going to have to try this
01:39 🔗 Coderjoe on linux, there is even qemu-kvm, which does some of the vm management in the kernel (iirc)
01:43 🔗 BlueMax I really need to learn Linux
01:47 🔗 ivan http://learncodethehardway.org/cli/book/cli-crash-course.html
01:49 🔗 BlueMax "learncodethehardway"
01:49 🔗 BlueMax not very encouraging
01:50 🔗 BlueMax and I'm OK with the Windows command line just not the Linux one :P
01:52 🔗 Marcelo The first thing I've learned: ls = dir
01:56 🔗 Coderjoe some linux distros set up an alias for you, so you can type dir and it works
01:57 🔗 BlueMax that's nice of them :P
01:58 🔗 Marcelo Oh, yes. Just tried it in Ubuntu. But ls is colorful and dir is not :p
01:59 🔗 ivan you can alias it if you really like typing dir
02:00 🔗 underscor :D
02:00 🔗 underscor LiSting files makes more sense semantically
02:01 🔗 Marcelo ls = 2 keys, dir = 3 keys. You save time with ls! :)
02:02 🔗 ivan alias l='ls -lart'
02:02 🔗 * BlueMax makes a note to tie up underscor and beat some sense into him
02:02 🔗 Coderjoe blargh. i hate read errors
02:02 🔗 * underscor makes a note to never allow BlueMax to meet SketchCow
02:02 🔗 underscor >:D
02:03 🔗 * BlueMax makes a note to cry in the corner
02:03 🔗 * underscor makes a note to harass BlueMax to replenish the tissues when he's done
02:05 🔗 BlueMax yeah, since you've been using em all :(
02:33 🔗 dashcloud joepie91: I've also thought of asking everyone in the neighborhood for all their old CDs/floppies/etc
02:35 🔗 dashcloud if you're willing to invest some money in it, I'm pretty sure the post office offers a service to mail a postcard to every house in an area
02:41 🔗 cmx yup
02:41 🔗 cmx it's about 1/4 the price of normal stamps, I think
03:04 🔗 dashcloud there's also Craigslist, putting up the flyers yourself, telling all your flea-market/garage sale/etc going friends/family/neighbors what you're interested in, and asking them to buy it for you if they see it
03:18 🔗 S[h]O[r]T underscor what is your cats name?
03:18 🔗 underscor S[h]O[r]T: Thelma :3
03:18 🔗 underscor Was her shelter name.
03:18 🔗 underscor We think she was a mother who was seperated from her kittens almost near birth, based on her behaviour
04:42 🔗 dashcloud hi guys, here's a crappy shell script to extract a large amount of info from a DOS / Windows floppy image: http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/cekohobelo.bash if it's actually useful to anyone, that would be great to know
04:42 🔗 dashcloud it requires 7zip and mtools to be installed
06:29 🔗 Coderjoe http://imgur.com/rZxEbJ5
06:30 🔗 omf_ Coderjoe, you once again have my attention :)
06:34 🔗 Coderjoe also http://imgur.com/127dhA8
06:35 🔗 omf_ http://imgur.com/gallery/yhPH1jE
06:35 🔗 Coderjoe I still need to figure out what to do about the CD with read errors. like try and locate my disc doctor or something
06:35 🔗 omf_ I got a stiffy now
06:36 🔗 omf_ maybe it needs to be re-surfaced
06:36 🔗 Coderjoe that's pretty much what the disc doctor does
06:39 🔗 cmx oh man I remember having a turbolinux disc a long time ago
06:40 🔗 Coderjoe here's another fun one: http://imgur.com/80piqwv
06:42 🔗 cmx yum
06:42 🔗 cmx non-expiring!
06:48 🔗 Coderjoe http://imgur.com/a/qHXnJ#0
06:49 🔗 Coderjoe only one of my CDs is missing, and that's the one with the read errors
07:01 🔗 Coderjoe haha
07:01 🔗 Coderjoe this AOL CD has in ISO volume label of PENGUIN
07:13 🔗 cmx heh
07:18 🔗 Coderjoe grr
07:19 🔗 Coderjoe something happened to my scanner drivers, it seems
07:19 🔗 Coderjoe all was fine, but now suddenly i get a missing dll error when I try to use it
08:17 🔗 omf_ Coderjoe, what brand?
08:17 🔗 omf_ is this on Windows?
08:18 🔗 Coderjoe yeah. I don't know why, but it suddenly couldn't find the dll, even though it wouldn't have moved. I found the dll right were I was expecting it, so I just added the directory to my cmd.exe's path for now
08:21 🔗 omf_ I remember for Epsons that if the temp files were not cleaned properly the scanning drivers and software would not load correctly
08:22 🔗 Coderjoe canon
08:22 🔗 omf_ no idea then
08:23 🔗 Coderjoe adding the c:\windows\twain_32\CNQL20 directory to the path seems to have fixed it for now
08:25 🔗 Coderjoe wow. this online service's CD has ISO, Joliet, HFS, AND rockridge
08:25 🔗 Coderjoe first one I have seen with RR
08:25 🔗 Coderjoe at least I think it is an online service
08:35 🔗 godane i'm doing at mirror of gazellegames.net forums
09:20 🔗 Coderjoe http://imgur.com/a/nFuEB#0
09:21 🔗 omf_ fuck yeah AOL
09:22 🔗 Coderjoe if you count the pictures, you will only see 13 AOL CDs. turns out I had 3 identical copies of one of the CDs
09:24 🔗 omf_ http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/27/aol-discs-90s/
10:18 🔗 chazchaz ersi: Sorry about the connection issues. My VPS provider must have been having issues
10:25 🔗 godane you guys are getting 500mb+ of images from gazellegames.net forums
10:27 🔗 godane also i got about ~4280 posts forum the gazellegames.net forums
10:28 🔗 godane you just do a seq 1 4300 to this url http://gazellegames.net/forums.php?action=viewthread&threadid=$i
10:28 🔗 godane now that i think about it since the damn thing didn't mirror it
10:28 🔗 godane no pages are grabed
10:29 🔗 godane this is my code: wget -i index.txt --mirror --load-cookies=cookies.txt --warc-file=gazellegames.net-forums-$(date +%Y%m%d) --warc-cdx --accept-regex='(image.php|page=|forumid=)' --reject-regex='(#|reports.php)' -o wget.log
10:30 🔗 godane it didn't grab anything but what was in the index file
11:08 🔗 godane uploaded: https://archive.org/details/gazellegames.net-forums-images-20130602
11:11 🔗 ersi chazchaz: Just thought I'd tell you, if it wasn't noticable. No worries
11:16 🔗 godane there is over 400 people in underground-gamer chat
11:30 🔗 godane so i'm going to be reuploading a item
11:30 🔗 godane its the first 10000 images ids of g4tv
11:31 🔗 godane i have to reupload it cause i uploaded tar.gz instead of zip or tar
11:31 🔗 godane this will also most likely be a different item id
11:33 🔗 godane since the online upload on archive.org either eat my cpu or get just get i/o error message on the page now
11:35 🔗 antomatic Coderjoe: Sometimes it's worth trying tricky discs on a variety of CD, DVD and Blu-Ray drives - some read challenging discs better than others.
11:36 🔗 antomatic I had a load of CD-Rs that I had to recover virtually sector-by-sector, some drives reading some parts of the disc fine, others not.
11:36 🔗 antomatic Something like Isobuster is pretty good for jigsawing all the pieces together - can just build up a good image through multiple reads on several drives.
11:50 🔗 godane i may just reupload all my image dumps of g4tv
11:50 🔗 godane only cause most of them are tar.gz
11:51 🔗 godane when they need to be tar or zip to be browsable
13:51 🔗 joepie91 antomatic: you'll want to have a look at ddrescue
13:52 🔗 joepie91 it can combine multiple reads (either from multiple copies or using multiple drives) to create one completely functional ISO
13:52 🔗 joepie91 even on a single drive, I've had very good results with it
13:52 🔗 joepie91 cc Coderjoe
14:49 🔗 antomatic joepie91: nice! thanks. :)
14:55 🔗 dashcloud reposting this from last night:
14:55 🔗 dashcloud hi guys, here's a crappy shell script to extract a large amount of info from a DOS / Windows floppy image: http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/cekohobelo.bash if it's actually useful to anyone, that would be great to know

15:21 🔗 dashcloud interesting update from Google on how they're treating actively exploited 0-days: http://www.darkreading.com/vulnerability/google-sets-new-aggressive-7-day-deadlin/240155757
16:18 🔗 ersi It's interesting how many there seems to be that got good pipes these days. Especially people interesting in hobby-archiving.
16:19 🔗 ersi Too bad that's not needed all that much
