00:22 🔗 godane SketchCow: I'm up to episode 370 of tekzilla on IA
06:59 🔗 godane So i'm going to be uploading EDN magazine
07:54 🔗 GLaDOS http://devnull-as-a-service.com/
07:59 🔗 touya :)
07:59 🔗 * touya signs up for an enterprise account
09:27 🔗 www2 hi
09:30 🔗 www2 i have a site for a emergency backup: Hives.nl
09:30 🔗 www2 http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftweakers.net%2Fnieuws%2F92306%2Fgerucht-telegraaf-stopt-met-hyves.html
10:47 🔗 godane so here is my EDN Magazine collection i'm uploading: https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22EDN+Magazine%3B%22
11:10 🔗 godane SketchCow: You have the full collection of tekzilla daily episodes
13:13 🔗 ersi http://www.explosm.net/db/files/Comics/Rob/timemachine2.png
13:34 🔗 norbert79 Explosm.net rocks
14:01 🔗 ersi for sure
16:26 🔗 * phillipsj is still annoyed all the major browsers dropped gopher support.
17:02 🔗 DFJustin yeah even firefox eventually succumbed
20:45 🔗 phillipsj I was thinking I should archive all the paper I have access to on microfiche: hopefully it will last until the copyright expires....
21:55 🔗 balrog phillipsj: just upload it to IA and have them black it out if it's touchy
22:10 🔗 phillipsj Found this link on the "fire drill" page: http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Internet_Archive
22:11 🔗 phillipsj Microfiche will last longer than 11,000 spinning disks.
22:11 🔗 phillipsj (though there is the ease of copying to consider)
22:30 🔗 yipdw I'd like to see how much ten petabytes weighs in microfiche
22:31 🔗 odie5533 How high of quality is microfiche theoretically?
22:33 🔗 odie5533 http://pic.templetons.com/brad/photo/pixels.html says that 35mm has 20 million pixels. I assume microfiche is a lot lower than that.
22:39 🔗 phillipsj No, microfiche has higher resolution because it is Black & While. The resolution is limited by diffraction as far as I can tell.
22:39 🔗 odie5533 Is microfiche all black & white?
22:39 🔗 odie5533 I thought there was color too
22:39 🔗 xmc microcard can have color
22:39 🔗 phillipsj A 6x4 card stores 260 pages
22:39 🔗 xmc microfiche is always b+w
22:40 🔗 odie5533 ah. I think people mislabel microcard as microfiche then
22:40 🔗 xmc yeah
22:40 🔗 odie5533 because I've seen old comic scans labeled microfiche and they were color
22:40 🔗 xmc microcard is white reflective media
22:40 🔗 xmc microfiche is tranmissive film
22:40 🔗 DFJustin http://publik.tuwien.ac.at/files/PubDat_191964.pdf
22:41 🔗 DFJustin "y using
22:41 🔗 DFJustin in UUencode, and 45.32MB coded as Paperback 2D barcode.
22:41 🔗 DFJustin these numbers a single microfilm can store 6.32MB coded in Base64, 4.92MB coded
22:41 🔗 odie5533 wiki says, "Color microform is extremely expensive, thus discouraging most libraries supplying color films." but perhaps wikipedia is mistaken as well
22:42 🔗 xmc ocr|uudecode sounds very fragile
22:42 🔗 odie5533 ah, sorry, "microform" seems to be a catchall actually.
22:42 🔗 xmc right, microform is everything tiny
22:42 🔗 xmc I think the problem is you need perfect color registration
22:42 🔗 DFJustin yeah the paper results for ocr decoding are terrible
22:42 🔗 DFJustin barcoding works if you add enough redundancy bits
22:43 🔗 DFJustin but lol would you need a lot for a petabyte
22:43 🔗 odie5533 to store binary data. but it might store b/w photos nicely
22:44 🔗 phillipsj It took me a while to figure out haw QR codes can still work with a logo shoved in the middle :)
22:44 🔗 phillipsj *how
22:45 🔗 DFJustin this is probably your best bet for longevity but price could be an issue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD-Rosetta
22:46 🔗 odie5533 speaking of longevity of data, I've not seen any good way to perfectly copy or archive a CD
22:47 🔗 DFJustin nope it's still a mess
22:47 🔗 M1das wallpaintings
22:48 🔗 M1das after 250.000 years they still find them.
22:48 🔗 odie5533 M1das: you get cub scout groups that come and clean grafitti off the walls.
22:48 🔗 M1das they do that? only thing they do here is fall out of trees and sell meth
22:48 🔗 M1das s/meth/chocolatebars
22:49 🔗 DFJustin the more famous wall paintings are rapidly deteriorating due to moisture and fungus from visitors
22:50 🔗 odie5533 M1das: or the case of the elgin marbles
22:50 🔗 M1das what about putting the entire archive in ascii and sending it to twitter?
22:51 🔗 M1das 140 chars at a time
22:51 🔗 phillipsj is twitter archived?
22:51 🔗 * phillipsj senses some kind of feedback loop
22:52 🔗 M1das dont think they remove tweets after x-years
22:52 🔗 M1das after sending the entire IA to twitter, they might tho
22:52 🔗 ivan` the Library of Congress has every tweet
22:52 🔗 phillipsj And the NSA's new data-center.
22:53 🔗 mistym Very poor bandwidth that way thoguh
22:53 🔗 M1das 5 zettabyte baby!
22:53 🔗 M1das dont really know why it's awesome, they dont specify what kind of storage it is
22:54 🔗 M1das 5 ZB on tape is alot cheaper and easier to store than 5ZB of SSD's
22:54 🔗 DFJustin twitter allows unicode so that would give you a lot better density
22:54 🔗 phillipsj Probably involves a few tape robots
22:54 🔗 M1das most likely yeah
22:54 🔗 M1das 100TB taperobots are faily cheap tho
22:55 🔗 M1das if its not a robot the accesstime will suck bigtime.
22:58 🔗 M1das if the NSA bought these guys they could store alot more
22:58 🔗 M1das http://www.spectralogic.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=products.displayContent&catID=1990
22:58 🔗 M1das up to 3.7 exabyte
