14:00 🔗 Shakespea Hi Is this site archived? - Live for 20 years bbut has a VAST swathe of old support material - http://www.mdgx.com/ :)
14:06 🔗 GE has joined #archiveteam-bs
14:07 🔗 dashcloud has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
14:07 🔗 RichardG_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 370 seconds)
14:11 🔗 dashcloud has joined #archiveteam-bs
14:18 🔗 joepie91 I am starting to hate ISO more by the day
14:19 🔗 joepie91 (the organization)
14:19 🔗 Shakespea joepie91: Standards too pricy for new entrants?
14:20 🔗 Shakespea (I hear this about so called "British Standards" as well)
14:23 🔗 joepie91 Shakespea: it's not about pricy, it's about the fact that they aren't openly available *at all*
14:23 🔗 dashcloud joepie91: if you don't need the ratified version, there's almost always a draft floating around for free. Otherwise, they do suck. If you're really lucky, another standards group has ratified that standard and made it available
14:23 🔗 joepie91 Shakespea: so there's ISO 9660, which is freely available as ECMA-119
14:23 🔗 joepie91 but the 2013 amendment is *not*
14:23 🔗 joepie91 and costs $25
14:24 🔗 joepie91 for a few changed sentences
14:24 🔗 joepie91 fucking ridiculous.
14:24 🔗 joepie91 dashcloud: nope
14:24 🔗 joepie91 already looked
14:24 🔗 Shakespea joepie91: Standards which are a legal requirment should be open for inspection :)
14:24 🔗 joepie91 ISO 9660:1988/Amd.1:2013
14:24 🔗 joepie91 Shakespea: not a legal requirement, but good luck building anything to do with CD-ROMs without having those standards handy
14:24 🔗 joepie91 any standard should be openly available full stop
14:25 🔗 Shakespea joepie91: Standards organisation do still have to cover costs
14:25 🔗 Shakespea But in principle I agree that closed standards aren't standards but guidelines
14:25 🔗 joepie91 Shakespea: when somebody becomes a hitman, your first response isn't "well he has to put bread on the table" either
14:25 🔗 dashcloud Shakespea: you may be interested in the work Carl Malamud and public.resource.org are doing along those lines
14:25 🔗 joepie91 it's "being a hitman is unacceptable!"
14:25 🔗 joepie91 no different here
14:25 🔗 joepie91 yes, they have costs
14:25 🔗 joepie91 but 1) that is not my problem
14:25 🔗 joepie91 and 2) it does not excuse behaviour that is harmful to society
14:25 🔗 Shakespea dashcloud: I'm aware of that as well
14:26 🔗 joepie91 let them find a way to cover costs that does NOT lock up important knowledge from the public
14:26 🔗 Shakespea I found them when trying to configure the correct colors of railway signs for a train-sim
14:26 🔗 Shakespea in a drawing program :)
14:26 🔗 Shakespea You would think you would be able to find out what colour an important industrial sign should be? Right?
14:27 🔗 Shakespea For one sign it would have cost me about 200 GBP for one color reference XD
14:27 🔗 dashcloud joepie91: if you'd really like that standard, I'm happy to send you $25 to cover the cost there (although I suspect cost isn't really why you haven't gotten a copy of it already)
14:27 🔗 Shakespea What was even more upseting was that the standard mentioned was obselete annyway
14:28 🔗 joepie91 dashcloud: in this case it sort of is (I'm not paying $25 for a diff! I have more important shit to put my money towards), but my complaint regarding its closedness exists regardless of the cost :)
14:29 🔗 Shakespea joepie91: Standards should be "open" for the public to inspect.
14:29 🔗 Shakespea Open source hasn't killed software consultancy
14:29 🔗 Shakespea Open Data hasn't caused the collapse of government depts through transparency
14:30 🔗 Shakespea And if I keep talking , I'll hit the flood limit here :(
14:31 🔗 Shakespea (Also when you have to go to a Chinese Website to find a standard, your locla public library doesn't because they can't afford a subscription, something is very very wrong)
14:31 🔗 JesseW has joined #archiveteam-bs
14:32 🔗 joepie91 dashcloud: moment, I'm going to check something
14:36 🔗 joepie91 dashcloud: I've sorta kinda found a copy
14:36 🔗 joepie91 http://pismotec.com/cfs/iso9660-1999.html
14:36 🔗 joepie91 this claims to be the 1999 edition
14:36 🔗 joepie91 but it contains the changes listed in a preview version of the 2013 amendment
14:36 🔗 joepie91 (as in, all the changes I could see in that preview are present in the "1999" version)
14:39 🔗 dashcloud yay!
14:47 🔗 Aoede Has there been any effort to archive video game mods?
14:47 🔗 Aoede Sites like nexusmods.com
14:50 🔗 fie_ has joined #archiveteam-bs
14:51 🔗 arkiver Aoede: any sites like that one going down?
14:52 🔗 fie has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
14:52 🔗 Aoede arkiver: Not as far as I know, but a lot of the content probably isn't mirrored anywhere
14:55 🔗 achip has joined #archiveteam-bs
14:55 🔗 arkiver Aoede: it might be worth it to save that content
15:02 🔗 Aoede Yeah
15:06 🔗 dashcloud has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
15:07 🔗 dashcloud has joined #archiveteam-bs
15:13 🔗 joepie91 man
15:14 🔗 joepie91 this CD-ROM spec is a great example of how NOT to do technical writing
15:14 🔗 joepie91 unbelievable
15:23 🔗 Shakespea Aoede: Doomworld was I think on DeathWatch
15:24 🔗 Shakespea So some sites might be being archived, not sure about others more generallly..
15:24 🔗 Shakespea (and of course there are mods in systems like STEAM, which I'm not sure are easily archived as such)
15:25 🔗 Shakespea Aoede: https://www.doomworld.com/vb/doom-general/73690-serious-time-doomworlds-host-is-shutting-down/
15:25 🔗 Shakespea Hmm
15:26 🔗 Shakespea And -http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Atomicgamer
15:26 🔗 Aoede Hmm
15:27 🔗 Shakespea So not DeathWatch but certainly worth keeping the vitals updated :)
15:32 🔗 Aoede Mostly I'm just worried they will shutdown without notice
15:32 🔗 Aoede Other than that you guys probably get it <3
15:33 🔗 Shakespea Aoede: I don't like being called a guy
15:33 🔗 Shakespea I still have to earn that title :)
15:33 🔗 Aoede Sorry :p
15:33 🔗 Shakespea No worries
15:38 🔗 godane so i'm at 930k items now
16:12 🔗 joepie91 "The Volume Partition Descriptor can be used to logically divide the volume into smaller volume partitions, although ISO 9660 does not specify how to do this, only that it can be done."
16:12 🔗 joepie91 ~specs~
16:13 🔗 VADemon and you're supposed to pay for this :)
16:29 🔗 Shakespea VADemon: And presuambly the other standard that tell you how you can partition
16:29 🔗 Shakespea XD
17:08 🔗 joepie91 VADemon: the technical writing in the entire spec is far sub-par
17:09 🔗 joepie91 VADemon:
17:09 🔗 joepie91 "The first Logical Block of each File Unit shall have a Logical Block Number which is the lowest Logical Block Number in the Logical Sector that contains that Logical Block."
17:09 🔗 joepie91 "An Interleave Gap shall comprise the set of Logical Blocks that are within an Extent and the Logical Block Numbers of which lie between the last Logical Block Number of a File Unit and the first Logical Block Number of the next File Unit, if any, in the sequence."
