[00:34] got warcprox working on python 2.6â¦ thinking about making a tutorial :) [01:08] so i just looked at the old elecplay.com site [01:08] turns out there was a vid.elecplay.com where the older videos are [01:09] bad news is i can't get them anymore cause the site changed to epdaily.tv last year [01:59] kyan_: if you make the certificate trusted in your local cert chain, Firefox is unlikely to complain [02:01] dashcloud, thanks. Turned out I had to add it as an authority instead of as a Server certificate, so that it is able to confirm warcprox's other certificates :) [02:01] now all I need to do is remember to turn it off later :-S [02:40] here's something that looks pretty cool- it's apparently a better, more modern version of gifs: http://apps.stupid-studio.com/ [02:40] called the Sprite Generator [03:17] unrelated [03:17] but cool looking [03:17] http://earth.nullschool.net/ [04:30] wow- someone asked their mom to get them a Linux cake, and I'm pretty sure they didn't expect anything like this: http://imgur.com/gallery/BifHL [04:40] that is awesome [04:43] sadly, there is a syntax error in there [04:43] as awesome as that cake is [04:47] and makes assumptions about the locale the script will run under [04:55] dashcloud: man [04:55] bash is a pain to write when you have access to a backspace key [04:56] I can only imagine how excruciatingly painful it would be to write bash without one... [05:02] hey joepie91 [05:03] touya_: hai [05:05] so how's project GTB - getting-shit-back doing? :p [05:07] no updates [05:27] is there anyway i can get money for my archiving? [05:27] like real money [06:06] get hired by an archive? [06:06] and/or library [06:07] either [06:18] so i'm grabbing the hackers - wizards of electronic age [06:18] turns out there is a old ogv file out there [06:19] i hope IA doesn't think its a audio file [06:34] other than the corporate archiving services that are already available, I couldn't think of any great business models [06:35] perhaps paywalled full text search but that requires a little bit of capital investment [06:35] there is too little demand and people generally ignore tail risks like thing X doing down forever [06:39] not practical at this time but I've fantasized a lot about a unified, centralized global computer network that could archive everything that went through itâ¦ sort of a cross between Internet Archive, Facebook, Google Play, Freebase, and Mega.co.nz [06:39] think the nsa already built that [06:39] I was about to say that [06:39] also, centralized? [06:39] well it should be publically available! [06:39] centralized seems like a bug [06:39] not a feature [06:40] I think what the NSA is doing is a step in the right direction both for big data research and combating terrorism, but it should have been with open national discourse [06:40] centralized: not geographically, but storage-wise [06:41] hope you got an asbestos suit ;) [06:41] avoid having ten million mp3s of britney, but make sure there are a thousand of britney and a thousand of my friend's cover band [06:41] oh. you want some kind of dedupe [06:41] globally [06:41] yes [06:42] reduce storage needs while ensuring replication of long-tail data [06:42] have a massive nuke-proof server farm inside a mountain on every continent :D [06:42] keeping enough copies for recovery from failure but only as many as needed (like perhaps 2-3 copies per mirror site) [06:43] ok, sureâ¦ although there's really no such thing as absolute certainty in data preservation [06:43] in 10 million years there are going to be enough flipped bits to screw things up pretty badlyâ¦ [06:44] maybe Scientology is doing the right thingâ¦ engrave all the world's knowledge on titanium slabs and bury it in the desert! [06:45] [06:45] (btw I'm not serious about the titanium slabs thing, although I still don't trust magnetic bits) [06:46] we should have something like datacrystal sometime [06:49] but then this: http://www.scifistream.com/wp-content/uploads/crusade_102.jpg [06:49] (from the episode of Crusade named "The Memory War") [06:57] lol [06:57] (all message content (c) 2000 by synthetic worlds, ltd., permission to reprint specifically denied to SFX Magazine) [07:01] er. sorry. ep was "The Needs of Earth" [07:02] http://mutantreviewers.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/111-4.jpg [08:12] thought: (append to earlier rant) strong encryption with two-part, third-party key escrow? that way there wouldn't be the same security risks associated with central information management, but gov't would still be able to access information as neededâ¦ [08:15] kyan: I'm missing context? [09:47] i got brief video interview of andrew fluegelman [12:43] looks like i may have to go back and reupload some ep daily episodes [12:43] turns out i have turn on hd to get hd [12:44] even thur i was getting video at higher res [12:49] this maybe a newer episodes is in 2012 [12:50] so what do i do? [12:51] i just upload new file with same filename and it will over the previous upload [12:54] so october 5 2011 episode is way better now [13:00] that episode is getting reuploaded with higher bitrate version [14:12] i'm starting to upload film riot rev3 series
