[00:20] https://i.imgur.com/nErHt6T.png [00:46] working my way through the remaining FTP sites on this list: https://www.piratepad.ca/p/old-ftp-list any help in checking would be appreciated [05:08] ohhdemgir: no that was not me [05:08] but Law and Order is awesome! [05:08] That was just on the guys github [05:09] ahh right, crazy project [05:09] yep [05:50] so i found this http://a.abcnews.com/assets/js/s_code.js [05:53] some one that can read java script could help figure it out [06:15] anyways saved 2 more world news tongiht [06:15] episodes [06:15] 2007-09-04 and 2007-12-03 [06:45] http://www.tinyrevolution.com/mt/archives/003659.html "Since the State Department was questioned about this by journalist Gilbert Cranberg, the translation at variance with Powell's version has disappeared from its site. It's now available only via archive.org." [06:56] You may only read this site if you've purchased Our Kampf from Amazon or Powell's or me [06:56] oh shit, I have to bail on this webpage [08:36] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/BaldursGate2_Game [08:37] and good morning [10:19] good morning, joepie91 [10:19] and goodnight, too. It's 3:19AM here in Colorado [10:19] and negative something farenheit [10:44] SketchCow: how to optimally archive DVDs [10:44] as in, video DVDs [10:45] what the fuck happened to twitter? [10:45] They made a 511 million dollar loss [10:45] that's what [10:45] so why did they change the interface to something aweful? [10:45] To save energy [10:48] godfuckingdamnit [10:48] some CDs are missing [10:48] dutch shovelware CDs, too :( [10:52] ISOs [10:56] SketchCow: no need for other kinds of metadata or formats or whatever? (except for cover scans, ofc) [11:02] my todo list: http://owely.com/2j2FaQ [11:03] leftmost stack is video DVDs [11:03] second stack is software and audio CD/DVD [11:03] third stack is discs that I've scanned the label of, but still need to be ripped/imaged/etc. [11:03] :P [11:03] fourth stack is those that are done and need to be labeled and packed up [11:06] (the silver colored box contains my archiving tools) [11:20] currently ripping an audio CD that, as far as any of the existing CD databases is concerned, doesn't exist [11:20] lol [11:20] no idea how it got into my pile of CDs either [11:21] they must be breeding [11:29] done some calculations [11:29] I currently have storage space for approximately 3600 CDs/DVDs [11:34] and chazchaz: I'm starting to suspect that :( [11:39] The more metadata the better. [12:01] SketchCow: right, mostly curious what amount of extra metadata exists for DVDs [12:03] yay, recovered significant amount of CD-ROMs from attic [12:05] hmm, recovered CDs do not include the dutch shovelware discs :/ [12:05] where the fuck did those go then [12:06] I never throw media away, and murder those who do it for me [12:06] so theoretically it HAS to be somewhere in my stuff [12:11] SketchCow: could you add the command for TARring + metadata + splitting on http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=FTP ? that would complete it afaik [12:13] here, another of those faux-ubisoft discs... [12:13] Microsoft Game Studios [12:13] but distributed by ubisoft [12:14] Dungeon Siege [12:14] pretty sure they just got a mass redistribution license or whatever [12:15] most likely yeah, ubisoft dit alot of distribution [12:19] midas: sign of a failing publisher ;) [12:19] anyway [12:19] I just ran across a real pressed (!) kubuntu disc! [12:19] heh [12:19] 7.10 [12:19] i think they went belly-up right? [12:19] oh nope, didnt went belly-up [12:20] not yet [12:20] kik [12:20] lol * [12:20] my god I have so many discs [12:20] it will eventually :p [12:20] even more than I thought... [12:20] midas: yes, obv :P [12:20] you want some more? :P [12:20] midas: yes, actually [12:21] LO [12:21] :P * [12:21] having a lot of keyboard one-off errors today... [12:21] uihm [12:21] uhm * [12:21] wtf [12:21] I just found something I didn't know I had [12:21] an original Atari MEGA ST manual [12:21] i'll start checking my archive when i get home :p [12:21] atari \o/ [12:21] in very good shape too [12:21] scan time [12:22] a bend on the cover, everything else is in great shape [12:22] yes [12:22] :) [12:22] * joepie91 puts on scan stack [12:23] oh, and the same box also contained my SNES cartridges and Commodore 64 floppies :D [12:24] my DVD stack is 110-120 items high... [12:24] ... [12:24] discs high * [12:24] Same here [12:24] lol [12:24] midas: I'm archiving too much, I'm starting to call IRL things "items" [12:25] anyway, midas, any discs you have are welcome [12:25] SketchCow: i saw your pictures on the blog, 120 stacks high more likely :p [12:25] ideally ones you don't need back... I -can- send them back after archiving, but that makes it impossible for me to do corrections later, and it means a lot of extra bookkeeping [12:25] :P [12:25] midas: SketchCow counts in shipping containers, not 'items' [12:25] no worries, ill check wich i can send without needing them later [12:26] :D [12:26] lol :p [12:26] hah, just send me the iso back :P [12:26] even better :p [12:26] what do you mean ISO :D [12:26] bin/cue! [12:26] lol, also fine, my iodd can handle that ;-) [12:26] that said, I've only run across two multi-track discs so far [12:26] Railroad Tycoon II (which seems to have an entire album on the CD) [12:27] and Little Big Adventure 2 (which has one audio track) [12:27] what about PS3 games? [12:27] or ps2 for that matter [12:27] I have no idea how to handle PS3 games (aren't they bluray? I don't have a bluray drive) [12:27] but PS2 I can probably do [12:27] I think [12:27] bluray yeah [12:27] I have a few PS2 games on the stack here [12:27] and like two PSX games also [12:27] so I guess that'll be exercise [12:27] midas: I only have a DVD drive currently [12:28] ill see if i still have a HDDVD player somewhere, xbox360 games [12:28] I've been thinking for a while about building an "archiving cart" [12:29] literally a 'closed' cart with a PC inside, a bunch of (bluray?) drives mounted in the enclosure, a formfeed scanner inside with some kind of input/output system in the enclosure, flatbed scanner(s) on top [12:29] so I can just wheel my setup around [12:29] added the extra FTP archiving commands to the wiki [12:29] just put a few rotary wheels under it (they sell those at the Action for like 3 euro each) and you have a wheelable archiving setup [12:29] :D [12:30] I had something along the same idea, but to send it to CCC for example so people can upload their own archives [12:30] * joepie91 is getting tired of everything being on his desk, even if his desk is now big enough to accomodate a scanner and stacks of discs [12:31] midas: how do you mean? [12:31] (also, this idea should be fairly easily reproducible with some clever design) [12:31] (with commodity hardware) [12:31] like a small storagebox for archiving the entire conference, you can upload via FTP or rsync, ship it back and we can check the data > upload to ia [12:32] archive on the go [12:33] ah, I was more thinking of a generic archiving unit [12:33] for long-term (transportable) use [12:33] a portable archiving unit would also be interesting [12:33] like on ccc, i tried to grab as much as possible data from someone there, but the upload was just too damn slow, so a local box where you can plugin a usb drive > copies and ejects again [12:33] but you'd want to literally make it porable [12:33] just build an enclosure with a raspberry pi and a 2.5" HDD inside [12:33] and a few "dump your shit here" ports on the outside [12:33] possibly even with a battery pack [12:33] i was thinking more in the 40+TB storage :p [12:34] midas: just make bigger models :P [12:34] the idea being that it's easy to carry around, and easy to ship [12:34] more or less a self-contained "just plug in your shit" data storage box [12:34] I wish I could scan more, quicker. [12:34] possibly with a "copy now" button on the outside, so it'd just copy all the data from whatever you attach, or something [12:34] But it's just tough, it's so involved. [12:34] SketchCow: books or otherwise? [12:35] yeah, with the 4TB drives, stacked 10 in there and the new atom systems with 12 sata ports on them would be very easy to create alot of storage on a small footprint [12:35] CD-ROMs, software boxes, newsletters, other crap. [12:36] Van Dale Nederlands Engels [12:36] whoops [12:36] typed into wrong window lol [12:37] SketchCow: aha [12:37] SketchCow: did I share with you my setup for scanning disc covers? [12:37] I'm not sure what your setup is, but it has helped a great deal to speed things up here [12:39] I'm sure it's a variation of a billion other things I've seen. [12:39] It's just that I don't really have much time for it. [12:39] Standing over a thing, making swaps, etc. [12:39] I see [12:39] I can set a machine for digitizing a 2 hour tape, and do that a dozen times [12:39] But it's the intensity of scanning, no time for it. [12:40] you need a clone. [12:40] I parallelize my things; at the same time I'm imaging discs, scanning CD labels, sorting out stacks, and post-processing CD label scans (cropping and rotating) [12:40] it's not the machine, it's the operator of the machine that needs time to do so. [12:40] http://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/12342619314/ [12:40] basically, whenever I -am- working on archiving stuff, there's never a moment where I'm staring at stuff idly [12:40] oh, and I run uploads at the same time [12:40] Parellelizing an activity I can't quite be doing [12:40] (and my WD Green seems to be keeping up fine... surprisingly) [12:40] I just scanned that. [12:41] I'm fascinated that they have an actual can of coke on there. [12:41] heh [12:41] it's even a classic coke [12:42] this was what, 1989? [12:45] 1986. [12:45] not that far off, awesome [12:45] Well, mystery semi-solved, they go out of the way on the back to credit the copyright of Coca-Cola, so they knew they were up to something. [12:46] Scanning the back now. [12:46] I had a chat with the new owner of Mobygames, who is a friend and collaborator. [12:46] I want him to expand MobyGames out to all software that's commercially sold. [12:46] He said yes, after they get the house in shape. [12:47] Code needs fixing, etc. [13:06] awesome [13:20] argh [13:21] currently ripping this: http://sprunge.us/AEUA [13:21] it wasn't in opendb, nor on discogs [13:21] so I had to manually enter everything from the box :( [13:24] So I added a less flowcharty version of the flowchart we have for how the warrior works as the twitter card background for https://twitter.com/at_warrior [13:25] er, nevermind [13:26] theeeere we go [13:48] age of empires collectors edition [13:48] ... "ubisoft exclusive" [13:48] definltely a mass redistribution license, heh [13:52] i should be doing work.. [13:54] midas: pft [13:54] screw work [13:54] :P [14:02] wtf [14:02] three discs failed to mount in a row [14:02] all of which were in good shape [14:11] Pregap detected for track 1 : 5995 sectors [14:11] Silence detected for track 1 : 5995 sectors [14:11] that warrants a cdrdao dump... [14:24] yay new mainboard is in! \o/ [14:25] maybe i should colocate something like this: http://www.asrock.com/server/overview.asp?Model=1U12LW-C2550 [14:25] 10x4TB + 2xSSD [14:32] midas: what kind of mainboard [14:41] sec [14:41] http://www.asrock.com/server/overview.asp?Model=C2550D4I [14:41] that [14:41] combined with 10x4TB and a SSD [14:41] and 64GB of ram [14:41] new storagepod [14:42] that way i have 72TB of storage online at home :p [14:45] most of the data will be filled pritty quicky as i need to empty my old 32TB nas so it can take on the FTP grab and be moved to a different location for future megawarc work [14:52] midas: hah [14:57] yes, data is flying around here :p [14:58] hopefully i'l be home in time before i run out of the last 450GB i have left on my box [15:11] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/SimAnt [15:11] (classic!) [15:11] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/VanDaleNederlandsFrans [15:11] SketchCow: you'll want to add SimAnt to the "old software" archive, I'd imagine [15:11] there'll be a few more old Maxis games coming soon :) [15:12] this is barely-windows-95 stuff (though modified to work on more modern systems afaik), so it's definitely classic games [15:21] still 40 minutes to go, space is running low!!! :< [15:24] :| [15:24] midas: my space in my room is running low [15:25] midas: http://owely.com/6qtPoJ [15:25] stacks of boxes... [15:26] ENDLESS STACKS OF BOXES [15:32] lol [15:32] i have a couple of boxes with VHS tapes [15:32] like, couple of 100 of them [15:33] http://www.ironicsans.com/2010/02/they_dont_make_computer_manual.html [15:39] oh oh, disks are now at 98.0% full :/ [15:40] Would http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/05/twitter-for-researchers/ that help archiving twitter? [16:14] midas: Aldi is selling a cassette digitization thing [16:14] for 16 euro [16:14] but audio only :( [16:14] and it only seems to use USB for power... output is over audio out [16:14] so not really an option :/ [16:14] meh [16:15] moving some data around now so i can keep her going untill i get home [16:15] hopefully it's not more then my bootdrive can handle [16:15] because that would suck bigtime [16:19] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/TargaEasyInstallXP [16:19] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/Carmageddon [16:19] midas: well you can start uploading off the earlier folders like so: https://archive.org/details/ftp.icm.edu.pl_part1 [16:19] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/RailroadTycoon2 [16:19] sounds like these ftps are too big to fit all in one item anyway [16:20] yeah DFJustin, im hitting 14TB atm [16:20] but have to move this box first anyway [16:35] brb, going home [16:51] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/SilverGame [17:40] hmmmm http://www.whoselineonline.org/ [17:41] hmm appears the videos are maybe hosted on trilulilu.ro [17:43] ahh no some are on youtube [17:43] ugh [17:49] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/DJAmine-MaghrebMixPartyVolume3 [17:49] that weirdass french-moroccan thing [17:49] that is in 0 CD databses [17:49] lol [17:54] sounds more like spanish-moroccan to me [17:56] oh I guess there's french too [17:57] fyi you can edit the item and add additional "language" tags [18:03] DFJustin: it's absolutely French [18:03] heh [18:03] just trying to determine what the other half is [18:03] I -think- it's Moroccan [18:03] but I'm not sure [18:03] would make sense given "maghrebi", I can't tell dialects of arabic apart though [18:04] there is definitely spanish as well in track 2 (and english) [18:50] "i only own the demo of breakneck. i already went on the site and they said that the demo has all the main game features of he full version. i think this game is cool." [18:50] can't help but wonder if somebody in the tech department screwed up there [18:50] heh [19:04] ha [19:04] was looking for a blurb about a Dutch game [19:04] ended up here [19:04] https://archive.org/details/TheUniverseAccordingtoVirgilReality_1020 [19:04] (the English version) [19:08] <3 classicpcgames [19:22] DFJustin: uploading the Dutch version of that game atm [19:22] also [19:22] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/Club3DATIDriversV3.9 [19:32] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/GeorgeBaker-TheBestForYou [19:32] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/GevangenisTycoon2 [19:37] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/EgypteFR [19:56] wow [19:56] https://twitter.com/TwoHeadlines might be the best use for Twitter, ever [20:24] i can get more abcnews now time tunnel [20:24] :-D [20:25] i thought it stopped in feb 2008 [20:55] ... I just realized something disturbing [20:55] all the discs that failed to mount? all DVDs [20:55] ... my DVD drive doesn't seem to be recognizing DVDs... [20:55] * joepie91 blinks [21:01] region protection? [21:04] DFJustin: DVD-ROMs [21:04] and literally [21:04] 0 [21:04] none can be read [21:04] nada [21:04] nil [21:04] all CDs read fine, and it seems to be incredibly good at reading damaged CD-ROMs [21:04] but DVDs, nope [21:12] Downloading thing 36186: index fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff, done. 31M [21:12] That feels like my life [21:12] Huh, I should download this FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF done [21:14] that's the sound of packets [21:15] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/HetHeelalVolgensVirgil [21:15] SketchCow: ^ that should probably be added to classic PC games [21:15] it's the Dutch version of a game that is already in classic [21:15] this looks interesting https://github.com/shayanjm/pasteye/ [21:16] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/HPPSC3250AndOfficejet6200SeriesDriversForMacintosh [21:16] also uploaded... https://archive.org/details/DeKolonistenVanCatanZeevaarders [21:16] joepie91: classicpcgames is a curated collection by the demu.org guy [21:16] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/Breakneck [21:16] DFJustin: aha [21:16] and he's only doing demoware for the time being [21:16] ? [21:17] DFJustin: https://archive.org/details/TheUniverseAccordingtoVirgilReality_1020 [21:17] this isn't listed as a demo? [21:17] the metadata is often just a copy paste from a description of the game [21:18] but considering it's 19mb and your version is almost 400 I'm betting it's still a demo [21:20] I'm starting to think we need a "cd grab bag" or something [21:38] ah [21:38] DFJustin: well... idk [21:38] the Dutch version was published a few years later [21:38] so it might very well have higher quality audio/video and such [21:38] but yeah, a cd grab bag collection would be nice :P [21:42] i got world news tonight for 9/11 [21:42] thanks to time tunnel [21:42] luckly you guys also got it [21:42] and its public [22:11] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/LegoLoco [22:17] uploaded: https://archive.org/details/SitecomWL171V1.001Drivers [22:34] joepie91: found 4 sata power cables... not enough :| [22:34] will be picking up more tomorrow [22:34] >4 cables [22:34] >"not enough" [22:35] dude, that's more cables than I have in my entire room [22:35] lol [22:35] yeah, well.. she needs to power 10 drives :P [22:35] actually, 11.
