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] i usually just put around the links that trigger it. [04:15] Ok, thanks. [04:16] 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] 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] 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] make a git-annex repo for all collections, use github issues [04:22] 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] solve n problems with one stone [04:24] kyan: the should be right around the link (no spaces) [04:24] Aah.

I'll keep on using my web host for it :P Thanks though! [04:33] 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] doesn't seem to be well updated :) [04:34] it's not that it is a bad idea. it's just people forget about it [04:35] 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] I'll see if I can cook something up [04:35] it was at the top of Deathwatch and Healthy Sites [04:35] Oh, cool [04:35] huh [04:36] Oh well then. [04:37] we have this https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/things-to-do/issues though [04:37] I don't know, I just can't wrap my head around mediawiki's table syntax :P [04:38] Ah, nice! [04:38] That looks easier to use [04:39] but as you can see, even i forgot about it [04:43] Oh god. I must be stupid... I can't figure out this interface either. Oh well, just take me out back and shoot me [04:48] *** Mayonaise has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 512 seconds) [04:48] *** vitzli has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [04:49] maybe someone should write a bug tracker except it works on irc :) [04:53] !open Shit don't work [04:53] !close works for me [05:03] everyone rememebers to use the wiki but no one maintains the software [05:03] maybe thats just a problem of access to those who want and can fix it [05:04] its been broken for at least 2y in many ways [05:04] :) [05:04] I maintain it.

Meh. https://archive.org/details/lionclaw00nanc [19:10] 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] and will delete it after 24 hours [19:11] lol [19:11] I really wonder where that myth originates from [19:11] why? I have a copy of the print book, so why shouldn't I have a backup? [19:12] 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] no copyright intented! [19:12] honest! [19:13] "all copyrights to the owners" [19:13] if someone already owns the print copy... oh well, whatever. I'll just end up scanning my own copy [19:14] 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] My right arm for a simple, affordable and good book scanner [19:15] 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] Although then I'd have to right arm so would not be able to operate it, so scratch that [19:16] *have no [19:16] i like that idea, kyan [19:16] 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] [21:11] why? I have a copy of the print book, so why shouldn't I have a backup? [19:16] ask that the copyright lobby [19:16] 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] i am currently browsing for a nice ereader [19:17] I do like that idea. [19:17] kyan: we're now paying a 'compensation' in NL to be 'allowed' to transfer media to a different medium [19:17] so yeah, if you ever thought copyright made sense.. [19:17] ha, we have that too in germa [19:17] ny [19:18] That makes no sense to me. Without knowing more, all i can say is 🖕 fuck it 🖕. [19:18] kyan: it doesn't make sense [19:18] copyright = "the right of large companies to invent new ways to get paid all the time" [19:18] it's just copyright lobby trying to squeeze maximum amounts of money frm you [19:18] * antomatic nods [19:18] "want it on a different medium? pay again!" [19:18] fuck copyright [19:18] oh god, my ebooks/ is ~3 times bigger than i thought. gotta check for dupes :( [19:18] copyright is utter bullshit, does not serve Its original purpose [19:19] it is a failed experiment, and needs to go [19:19] If everyone just /ignored/ copyright and read/listened to/watched only CC0 works, the whole problem would solve itself within months [19:19] but people won't - they'll just pretend that everything is licensed under CC0 instead ;) [19:19] (which is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, imo) [19:20] 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] think of the poor artists who have to sob all day instead of having a job [19:21] artists will be fine once they realise that you don't have to go through an industry to reach an audience [19:21] That's why we need something like kickstarter for it. I love how copyright enables high quality artworks to be created. [19:21] the industry screws artists just as hard as regular folks, so there's good reason for them to give it up too [19:21] "I love how copyright enables high quality artworks to be created." [19:21] [citation needed] [19:21] "Star Wars... oh yeah, unfortunately that movie didn't actually make any money, so no royalties for you." [19:22] Without some other way of funding artwork production, copyright does a decent job, at the cost of restricting its later utility [19:22] "Seven album contract with balloon payout once advances are recouped.." [19:22] kyan: again, citation needed [19:23] 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] actual, real-world evidence [19:23] not just theory [19:23] I've been asking people for years, and I've not gotten any [19:23] 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] kyan: which is fundamentally flawed and biased [19:24] and therefore not viable evidence [19:24] 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] with no assurances for a neutral view [19:24] It's my opinion, not a cold hard fact [19:24] exactly [19:24] and that is not real-world evidence [19:24] Visit YouTube, type any particular subject or theme that interests you, select 'Filters', 'Creative Commons'. Enjoy. [19:25] so let's not make factual statements based on unproven opinions, k? [19:25] oh god [19:25] Are you giving me attitude? You wanna take this outside? [19:25] scroll scroll scroll [19:25] XD [19:25] Lads, lads, leave it, it ain't worth it! [19:25] Much like copyrighted media. [19:25] (Yay, ontopic.) :) [19:25] 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] what is the essence of your disagreement in one line? i don't want to read all these words [19:26] Ok, ok, fair enough... [19:26] 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] that's the tl;dr [19:26] ok [19:27] sometimes i wish you would be less shrill, joepie91_ [19:27] 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] because if so, everyone agrees. [19:27] peace, love & understanding [19:27] xmc: sometimes I wish that I wouldn't need to be ;) [19:27] antomatic: that sounds reasonable to me [19:27] 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] antomatic: agreed. [19:28] kyan: from what I've seen, yes. [19:28] So, copyright is "working", or at least is the status quo for supporting artists. [19:28] and that's where the reasoning breaks down. [19:28] one in no way proves the other [19:28] this whole conversation feels offtopic even for this channel [19:29] *** mistym has quit IRC (Leaving) [19:38] yes hello everybody [19:38] puu.sh got pwnt [19:38] if you use puu.sh, you probably have malware on your system now [19:38] https://twitter.com/puushme [19:39] sweet [19:39] ouch [19:41] well, according to an article I read, that means they've officially made it to the big time [19:41] lol [19:43] *** mistym has joined #archiveteam-bs [19:43] aaaaaaaaa: not yet, they should deny that they got hacked first, or is that NSA only?
