01:02 πŸ”— godane i'm uploading tech history today series from twit
02:10 πŸ”— mistym https://twitter.com/textfiles/status/371797137170124800 :(
02:11 πŸ”— mistym And here I was about to start using Sourceforge to distribute large binaries. Mac CLI stuff so it wouldn't actually affect me, but trust broken.
02:11 πŸ”— mistym Anyone have thoughts on where to distribute large binaries of stuff? I have modern software compiled for old Macs to distribute.
02:11 πŸ”— omf_ why not archive.org?
02:12 πŸ”— mistym Oh yeah, I guess that could work! I feel like that might be kinda abusing its storage/bandwidth, but on the other hand maybe not
02:15 πŸ”— godane so tech history today is full uploaded
02:15 πŸ”— godane 3 twit video colections are sort of complete
02:55 πŸ”— Ravenloft http://youtu.be/7cWmhFFOAjE
03:09 πŸ”— dashcloud mistym: from reading the article's comments, it looks like it's an ad program the developers can opt into. If you don't want to use sourceforge anyway, people are saying github offers a binary hosting portion again called "releases"
03:14 πŸ”— mistym dashcloud: I think Github's size/possibly bandwidth is limited though. I'm packaging other software, so there'd be a lot of large packages
03:14 πŸ”— dashcloud if you're not scared off by Google's crap yet, Google Code does do binary storage
03:14 πŸ”— omf_ you could try a free mega account as a mirror
03:15 πŸ”— mistym Google Code introduced per-account size limits too though - projects are migrating away from them because of that
03:16 πŸ”— dashcloud it would be really strange for a non-linux project, but could you use launchpad.net ?
03:51 πŸ”— mistym dashcloud: Oh yeah, that's a thought.
03:59 πŸ”— joepie91 dashcloud: "hey developer, do you want free monies for zero effort? here, just click the button, come on, come on, just click it..." "yeah well, they opted in to bundle stuff *themselves*!"
03:59 πŸ”— joepie91 roughly summarizes my thougts on opt-in crapware bundling
03:59 πŸ”— joepie91 "opt-in"
04:05 πŸ”— godane so 2001 world articles of theguardian.com is uploaded
04:10 πŸ”— joepie91 SketchCow, this thread may be interesting: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/blackhat-lounge/599767-end-google-finally.html
04:10 πŸ”— joepie91 gives an interesting... insight into the whole marketing industry and the attitude of the people that work in it
04:11 πŸ”— joepie91 also http://www.salon.com/2013/07/05/adblock_plus_lets_some_advertisers_pay_to_play/singleton/
04:18 πŸ”— Aranje yes
04:18 πŸ”— Aranje :)
04:18 πŸ”— Aranje that's why there is adblock edge
04:19 πŸ”— omf_ I use more than one blocking program
04:20 πŸ”— Aranje I use none!
04:20 πŸ”— omf_ Living dangerously ;)
04:20 πŸ”— Aranje I just refuse to use websites slathered in obnoxious ads :D
04:20 πŸ”— Aranje salon.com recently got booted because of their popovers
04:21 πŸ”— omf_ For me it is about going to sites I find through search on different subjects
04:22 πŸ”— Aranje mostly ads (on other people's shit) are annoying to me, not because they're necessarily user-abrasive (though they often are) but because for eg I look at newrelic's website and bam every ad I view for weeks is a newrelic ad
04:22 πŸ”— Aranje that's just dumb :D
04:33 πŸ”— omf_ I also find pages load faster when all that shit is blocked. Some news sites have like 17 ad trackers on them
04:33 πŸ”— omf_ gawker has 11 for example
04:37 πŸ”— Aranje oh god yeah
04:37 πŸ”— Aranje I hate that shit
04:37 πŸ”— Aranje and they're all asynchronous, so it takes for fucking ever for everybody to get done lazyloading shit into the page
04:38 πŸ”— omf_ yes it is shit
04:38 πŸ”— omf_ piles of it
04:38 πŸ”— Aranje yap
04:38 πŸ”— Aranje what never made sense to me is "why 10 trackers? is GA or insert-decent-one-here not sufficient?"
04:38 πŸ”— omf_ Ad companies are douchebags, they want to do their own tracking
04:39 πŸ”— omf_ Ad publishers have no fucking clue what they are doing
04:39 πŸ”— Aranje their infrastructure is so slow too e.e
04:39 πŸ”— Aranje high latency low throughput e.e
04:40 πŸ”— omf_ Γ―ΒΌΒΌ(-___________-;)/
04:40 πŸ”— Aranje I think it's funny because the boutique ad places (carbon, for example) do it really well
04:42 πŸ”— Aranje but I guess the reason I like carbon is because their contract states they have to be the only ad on the page
04:42 πŸ”— Aranje and you can only put a single carbon ad on a page
04:42 πŸ”— Aranje sooooooo
04:51 πŸ”— omf_ holy shit, this is why being a public company is bullshit
04:52 πŸ”— omf_ When Mayer took the helm a year ago, LoebҀ™s plan was to fire between 20 percent and 30 percent of Yahoo!Ҁ™s roughly 12,000 workers
04:52 πŸ”— omf_ I like how to the common solution is to fire people
04:53 πŸ”— omf_ it never seems to take into account the sunk cost of finding those people who filled the jobs
04:54 πŸ”— omf_ he owned a billion dollars of stock in Yahoo
05:04 πŸ”— godane so i found a place that has all the links to odtv
05:05 πŸ”— godane or ondemand twit tv it was called
05:24 πŸ”— omf_ youtube has to be the best music piracy platform ever
05:24 πŸ”— omf_ way more stuff on here than napster ever had
05:27 πŸ”— omf_ Most of the newer internet radio streaming services are all about recommendations
05:27 πŸ”— omf_ while that is fine, I like just browsing everything
05:49 πŸ”— DFJustin uploading 2,000 vocaloid songs to archive.org
05:59 πŸ”— godane so i'm finding tons of odtv twit videos
05:59 πŸ”— godane like twit windows 7 house party
06:00 πŸ”— omf_ DFJustin, I follow u on the twitters now
06:07 πŸ”— DFJustin zomg
06:10 πŸ”— DFJustin all I do these days is retweet textfiles though lol
06:14 πŸ”— omf_ cyber stalking, easier than ever :D
06:14 πŸ”— omf_ or D: when you are on the other end
06:39 πŸ”— SketchCow Vitorio went above the beyond
06:40 πŸ”— SketchCow Refined then super refined, then ten times refined MESS building.
07:05 πŸ”— ersi mistym: If you upload to archive.org, we don't have to go look for your binaries later and archive them seperately ;)
07:05 πŸ”— mistym ersi: Also true ;)
07:06 πŸ”— ersi And I'm sure they'd tell you, if what you're uploading is a problem
07:06 πŸ”— ersi But.. I think it'll drown in comparison to SketchCow and godane's crazy uploading business ;)
07:39 πŸ”— godane i'm starting to upload this week in tech episodes for 2009
07:50 πŸ”— godane so now i'm downloading 2002-06 of theguardian world articles
08:09 πŸ”— godane this is the start of the twit_show collection: http://archive.org/details/This_Week_in_Tech_214
09:41 πŸ”— godane so looks like i'm i have a item in the top 3 of archiveteam-fire
09:42 πŸ”— godane my panic download of www.urinal.net
15:39 πŸ”— SketchCow Seriously, to get archive.org's attention, you have to do insane shit.
15:39 πŸ”— SketchCow xmc got their attention but mostly because of an extant bug from a machine movie.
15:39 πŸ”— SketchCow move.
