03:59 🔗 kyan Just watched SketchCow's talk "From COLO to YOLO: Confessions of the Angriest Archivist". It was amazing, made me laugh several times and left me smiling at the end. Highly recommended, for what it's worth. http://devslovebacon.com/conferences/bacon-2014/talks/from-colo-to-yolo-confessions-of-the-angriest-archivist
04:08 🔗 aaaaaaaaa has quit IRC (Leaving)
04:13 🔗 kyan Is the spam filter on the wiki ever going to get fixed? It has'nt been letting me add this page i want to for a long time now: "The following text is what triggered our spam filter: .ru "
04:14 🔗 chfoo i usually just put <nowiki></nowiki> around the links that trigger it.
04:15 🔗 kyan Ok, thanks.
04:16 🔗 kyan Idea: bug tracker for archiveteam, where things that should be archived are added as issues — e.g. last.fm would be a critical bug, random opendirectories I want to save would be uncritical bugs
04:18 🔗 kyan when issues get closed, add a link to the finished archive. Thus all the sites and archival results could be in one place, and reports could be generated
04:18 🔗 kyan e.g. choose bugs with the "ftp" tag and status = open to get a list of all of the FTPs that haven't been grabbed yet, or status=closed to get a list of available ftp archives
04:22 🔗 yipdw make a git-annex repo for all collections, use github issues
04:22 🔗 kyan <nowiki> tags aren't working for me, i must be doing something wrong... pastebinning it instead. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Smcs93jM Thanks anyway! :)
04:22 🔗 yipdw solve n problems with one stone
04:24 🔗 chfoo kyan: the <nowiki> should be right around the link (no spaces)
04:24 🔗 kyan Aah. I see, thanks. :)
04:24 🔗 kyan Sorry to bother!
04:26 🔗 wp494 has quit IRC (LOUD UNNECESSARY QUIT MESSAGES)
04:28 🔗 kyan Still no go... Oh well, I give up. I'll keep on using my web host for it :P Thanks though!
04:33 🔗 chfoo about the bug tracker idea, i had a chat with arkiver who proposed the same idea. my complaint is that it would be difficult to make people use it and i suggested using the wiki for the time being. i ended up shoving two tables into a single page: http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Miscellaneous_Projects
04:33 🔗 chfoo doesn't seem to be well updated :)
04:34 🔗 chfoo it's not that it is a bad idea. it's just people forget about it
04:35 🔗 kyan Is it linked from somewhere prominent? I don't think I've ever seen that before. Also no offense but it's, um, fairly hard to read
04:35 🔗 kyan I'll see if I can cook something up
04:35 🔗 chfoo it was at the top of Deathwatch and Healthy Sites
04:35 🔗 kyan Oh, cool
04:35 🔗 kyan huh
04:36 🔗 kyan Oh well then.
04:37 🔗 chfoo we have this https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/things-to-do/issues though
04:37 🔗 kyan I don't know, I just can't wrap my head around mediawiki's table syntax :P
04:38 🔗 kyan Ah, nice!
04:38 🔗 kyan That looks easier to use
04:39 🔗 chfoo but as you can see, even i forgot about it
04:43 🔗 kyan Oh god. I must be stupid... I can't figure out this interface either. Oh well, just take me out back and shoot me

04:49 🔗 chfoo maybe someone should write a bug tracker except it works on irc :)
04:53 🔗 yipdw !open Shit don't work
04:53 🔗 garyrh !close works for me
05:03 🔗 S[h]O[r]T everyone rememebers to use the wiki but no one maintains the software
05:03 🔗 S[h]O[r]T maybe thats just a problem of access to those who want and can fix it
05:04 🔗 S[h]O[r]T its been broken for at least 2y in many ways
05:04 🔗 SketchCow :)
05:04 🔗 SketchCow I maintain it.
05:04 🔗 SketchCow I just do it poorly!
05:05 🔗 SketchCow Single Jason of Failure
05:07 🔗 kyan What about a spreadsheet-y thing? I made an example of what I imagine would be easyish to use: http://futuramerlin.com/ember-folder-created-2015mar29a30/ember.php?action=showArchivalProjectsTable&table=archives

05:20 🔗 Ctrl-S Could this raise be caught without using a catchall handler? http://pastebin.com/5T5zAbQL
05:24 🔗 yipdw there's no catch-all handler in there
05:25 🔗 yipdw error is a symbol for some error object, probably socket.error from context
05:25 🔗 Ctrl-S it just uses raise
05:26 🔗 yipdw that re-raises the caught error
05:26 🔗 yipdw https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/errors.html
05:26 🔗 Ctrl-S okay, thanks
05:26 🔗 yipdw also if that's your code
05:26 🔗 yipdw please reconsider using recv
05:27 🔗 yipdw the socket interface is pretty tedious and low-level
05:27 🔗 Ctrl-S that's socket.py

18:49 🔗 kyan ...I go to watch the "Jason Scott at Digikult 2015" talk on Youtube. In the suggested videos column shows up: "Recommended for you": "Top 10 Best Incest Anime EVER HD". I take issue with what Youtube thinks I want to watch :-S
18:52 🔗 antomatic That's right, kyan, it should never recommend a video you've already watched. :)
18:53 🔗 Smiley :D
19:05 🔗 joepie91_ kyan: link
19:05 🔗 joepie91_ (to Jason Scott talk, not incest)
19:06 🔗 kyan joepie91_, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L1EIUIjBfk
19:07 🔗 joepie91_ danke
19:07 🔗 kyan np
19:09 🔗 kyan So tantalizing and frustrating to have this book listed in IA, only to click on the download link and get "This item is not available due to issues with the item's content". Meh. https://archive.org/details/lionclaw00nanc
19:10 🔗 kyan They should have it available to download, I think, with a requirement that you swear you own the book so it's not a copyright issue
19:11 🔗 DFJustin and will delete it after 24 hours
19:11 🔗 joepie91_ lol
19:11 🔗 joepie91_ I really wonder where that myth originates from
19:11 🔗 kyan why? I have a copy of the print book, so why shouldn't I have a backup?
19:12 🔗 antomatic like all those people up put full tv episodes on YouTube and put a block of text about 'Section 107 allows fair uuuuuseeeee!!!!' in the description. :)
19:12 🔗 schbirid no copyright intented!
19:12 🔗 schbirid honest!
19:13 🔗 antomatic "all copyrights to the owners"
19:13 🔗 kyan if someone already owns the print copy... oh well, whatever. I'll just end up scanning my own copy
19:14 🔗 kyan which feels kind of pointless, in light of the fact that it's already been done. I have the same quarrel with Google Books, I recently put in several hours digitizing a book that Google wouldn't let me have. Admittedly my results were probably better than google's, but whatever.
19:15 🔗 antomatic My right arm for a simple, affordable and good book scanner
19:15 🔗 kyan I think it would make much more sense to have all public data be open access, and have it be funded through raising money beforehand like a kickstarter kind of thing
19:15 🔗 antomatic Although then I'd have to right arm so would not be able to operate it, so scratch that
19:16 🔗 antomatic *have no
19:16 🔗 antomatic i like that idea, kyan
19:16 🔗 kyan I just use a point-and-shoot digital camera on a tripod. It works, albeit slowly and with a back ache the next day
19:16 🔗 joepie91_ [21:11] <kyan> why? I have a copy of the print book, so why shouldn't I have a backup?
19:16 🔗 joepie91_ ask that the copyright lobby
19:16 🔗 antomatic All copyrighted works get made once enough people say "I'll pay for that", then once made, it's free for everyone else
19:17 🔗 schbirid i am currently browsing for a nice ereader
19:17 🔗 antomatic I do like that idea.
19:17 🔗 joepie91_ kyan: we're now paying a 'compensation' in NL to be 'allowed' to transfer media to a different medium
19:17 🔗 joepie91_ so yeah, if you ever thought copyright made sense..
19:17 🔗 schbirid ha, we have that too in germa
19:17 🔗 schbirid ny
19:18 🔗 kyan That makes no sense to me. Without knowing more, all i can say is 🖕 fuck it 🖕.
19:18 🔗 joepie91_ kyan: it doesn't make sense
19:18 🔗 antomatic copyright = "the right of large companies to invent new ways to get paid all the time"
19:18 🔗 joepie91_ it's just copyright lobby trying to squeeze maximum amounts of money frm you
19:18 🔗 * antomatic nods
19:18 🔗 joepie91_ "want it on a different medium? pay again!"
19:18 🔗 antomatic fuck copyright
19:18 🔗 schbirid oh god, my ebooks/ is ~3 times bigger than i thought. gotta check for dupes :(
19:18 🔗 joepie91_ copyright is utter bullshit, does not serve Its original purpose
19:19 🔗 joepie91_ it is a failed experiment, and needs to go
19:19 🔗 antomatic If everyone just /ignored/ copyright and read/listened to/watched only CC0 works, the whole problem would solve itself within months
19:19 🔗 joepie91_ but people won't - they'll just pretend that everything is licensed under CC0 instead ;)
19:19 🔗 joepie91_ (which is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, imo)
19:20 🔗 antomatic It only needs a critical mass of people to say "actually, this music/book/movie being copyrighted REDUCES its value to me", and back that stance up by leaving their wallet at home...
19:20 🔗 schbirid think of the poor artists who have to sob all day instead of having a job
19:21 🔗 antomatic artists will be fine once they realise that you don't have to go through an industry to reach an audience
19:21 🔗 kyan That's why we need something like kickstarter for it. I love how copyright enables high quality artworks to be created.
19:21 🔗 antomatic the industry screws artists just as hard as regular folks, so there's good reason for them to give it up too
19:21 🔗 joepie91_ "I love how copyright enables high quality artworks to be created."
19:21 🔗 joepie91_ [citation needed]
19:21 🔗 antomatic "Star Wars... oh yeah, unfortunately that movie didn't actually make any money, so no royalties for you."
19:22 🔗 kyan Without some other way of funding artwork production, copyright does a decent job, at the cost of restricting its later utility
19:22 🔗 antomatic "Seven album contract with balloon payout once advances are recouped.."
19:22 🔗 joepie91_ kyan: again, citation needed
19:23 🔗 joepie91_ I know that this is a popular opinion, but I have yet to see evidence that copyright in any way positive contributes to the viability of creative arts
19:23 🔗 joepie91_ actual, real-world evidence
19:23 🔗 joepie91_ not just theory
19:23 🔗 joepie91_ I've been asking people for years, and I've not gotten any
19:23 🔗 kyan I draw that conclusion based on my observation that copyrighted music and movies are generally created with higher quality than those that aren't
19:23 🔗 joepie91_ kyan: which is fundamentally flawed and biased
19:24 🔗 joepie91_ and therefore not viable evidence
19:24 🔗 joepie91_ it's a viewpoint of a single person or very limited group of people, made aware of a tiny subset of human culture
19:24 🔗 joepie91_ with no assurances for a neutral view
19:24 🔗 kyan It's my opinion, not a cold hard fact
19:24 🔗 joepie91_ exactly
19:24 🔗 joepie91_ and that is not real-world evidence
19:24 🔗 antomatic Visit YouTube, type any particular subject or theme that interests you, select 'Filters', 'Creative Commons'. Enjoy.
19:25 🔗 joepie91_ so let's not make factual statements based on unproven opinions, k?
19:25 🔗 xmc oh god
19:25 🔗 kyan Are you giving me attitude? You wanna take this outside?
19:25 🔗 xmc scroll scroll scroll
19:25 🔗 kyan XD
19:25 🔗 antomatic Lads, lads, leave it, it ain't worth it!
19:25 🔗 antomatic Much like copyrighted media.
19:25 🔗 antomatic (Yay, ontopic.) :)
19:25 🔗 kyan oh well, I gotta go eat before class :) bye for now
19:25 🔗 * joepie91_ , in the meantime, points kyan at the considerable list of documented evidence of copyright getting in the way of the creative arts due to prevention of reuse
19:26 🔗 xmc what is the essence of your disagreement in one line? i don't want to read all these words
19:26 🔗 kyan Ok, ok, fair enough...
19:26 🔗 joepie91_ xmc: kyan says copyrights supports high quality art creation, I disagree, ask for real-world evidence of that assertion, kyan cannot provide any
19:26 🔗 joepie91_ that's the tl;dr
19:26 🔗 xmc ok
19:27 🔗 xmc sometimes i wish you would be less shrill, joepie91_
19:27 🔗 antomatic could we accept that high quality art will be created regardless, and that while some is copyright-supported, that is not a neceessary precondition for the creation?
19:27 🔗 antomatic because if so, everyone agrees.
19:27 🔗 antomatic peace, love & understanding
19:27 🔗 joepie91_ xmc: sometimes I wish that I wouldn't need to be ;)
19:27 🔗 xmc antomatic: that sounds reasonable to me
19:27 🔗 kyan Ok, how about this: of the movies that have made the most money, most of them are not crowdfunded free content, but are rather sold as commodities.
19:27 🔗 joepie91_ antomatic: agreed.
19:28 🔗 joepie91_ kyan: from what I've seen, yes.
19:28 🔗 kyan So, copyright is "working", or at least is the status quo for supporting artists.
19:28 🔗 joepie91_ and that's where the reasoning breaks down.
19:28 🔗 joepie91_ one in no way proves the other
