00:15 🔗 OrIdow6 atomicthu: Can you explain more about that? What's broken about it - what's the usual procedure to access the archives, and at what point does it go wrong under the current circumstances? How long has it been broken? Do you know why it's broken, if or when this is (or was) expected to be fixed, etc.?
00:16 🔗 atomicthu the archives are accessed with a dropdown on every subforum
00:16 🔗 atomicthu you select a date and it shows you threads from that date
00:16 🔗 atomicthu except since whenever it broke, it shows no threads for any date
00:16 🔗 atomicthu there is no ETA on fixing it. something awful's awful, hacked-together version of vbulletin is infamous

04:48 🔗 OrIdow6 JAA: So I think I might've found the source of that ARM cookie
04:48 🔗 OrIdow6 The page was /?sc_mode=edit&sc_itemid=%7BEAAAFF37-D150-4392-A90D-65D24D66DD62%7D&sc_version=7&sc_lang=en&sc_site=website
04:49 🔗 OrIdow6 WARC-Record-ID: <urn:uuid:26a6e5e5-b186-47e5-a73c-137f84391073> for the request in 00008.warc.gz, the response record is easy enough to find
04:51 🔗 OrIdow6 Source appears to be from here https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/embedded/legacy-tools/ds-5-development-studio/resources/tutorials/linux-symmetric-multiprocessing-kernel-debug
04:51 🔗 OrIdow6 "Again, if you get any Source Not Found alerts, you have to set the substitution path to the sources you set up as part of Prerequisites." - "Prerequisites" has a link to that page that sets the cooki
04:51 🔗 OrIdow6 e
04:53 🔗 OrIdow6 There are similar links around the page on different occurrences of the word "Prerequisites", going to the proper place; obviously the author copied the link directly from their editing tools instead of the public page this one time
05:50 🔗 OrIdow6 -----
05:51 🔗 OrIdow6 So it looks like the Something Awful site is being "transferred" to someone else - https://forums.somethingawful.com/announcement.php?forumid=1
05:53 🔗 OrIdow6 "There have been a lot of questions about offsites and donations for offsites and the future of the forums... [t]he short answer is we do not have anywhere for that sort of thing to go at the moment... there should be a solid announcement within a day or so."
05:56 🔗 OrIdow6 So it looks like the statement of its being "transferred" may be that "announcement"

11:09 🔗 JAA OrIdow6: Thanks! I guess I'll rerun it with an ignore for URLs with a sc_mode=edit parameter. Might also look into grabbing it with qwarc independently.

11:38 🔗 Ravenloft has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
11:43 🔗 HP_Archiv Hey JAA, if you're around, question for ya. I have some of those video archive items hashed. What's the proper format to save the hash results to - .txt file or csv or .hash file?
11:47 🔗 HP_Archiv I guess I'm asking what's the proper way to format this all? I've seen developers host code blocks on blogs and stuff like that with a hash table for data. But since I can't do that on IA, how to format accordingly?
11:48 🔗 JAA HP_Archiv: The common format is the hash in hexadecimal format followed by two spaces followed by the filename.
11:48 🔗 JAA That's what md5sum, sha1sum, etc. produce and can also read back in for checking with `-c`.
11:50 🔗 systwi has joined #archiveteam-bs
11:51 🔗 HP_Archiv JAA: So I just copy/paste the sha1 hash values into notepad and save as .hex?
11:54 🔗 HP_Archiv SEND JAA
11:55 🔗 Ravenloft has joined #archiveteam-bs
11:56 🔗 JAA HP_Archiv: Sure, you can do that. Just lines of '51a96fff5871d6723f469c1882e715d2 filename.txt'.
11:56 🔗 JAA (Length of the hash will depend on the hash function, obviously.
11:58 🔗 HP_Archiv This is what I have, filenames are long
11:58 🔗 HP_Archiv https://imgur.com/E0hGHXg
12:01 🔗 HP_Archiv Oh, I just realized they're long because I'm including the path
12:01 🔗 JAA I mean, as long as it's in an easily parseable format, there's no need to change it really.
12:02 🔗 JAA Even if you want to do bulk checking with `sha1sum -c`, it would be easy to transform that into the relevant format.
12:02 🔗 Ryz has quit IRC (Quit: Ping timeout (120 seconds))
12:03 🔗 HP_Archiv Well it took about 24 hours to hash all 20 items. So I have the values sitting in csv's for each one.
12:03 🔗 HP_Archiv Is it worth re-doing?
12:03 🔗 JAA Nah
12:03 🔗 Ryz has joined #archiveteam-bs
12:04 🔗 JAA Let's take this to hackint -ot as before.
12:07 🔗 atomicthu JAA: archived thread shows
12:08 🔗 JAA So that works, good. :-)
12:09 🔗 JAA Current thread IDs appear to be around 3.9 million. I wonder why.
12:09 🔗 JAA According to the homepage, there are 2.6M normal threads and 3.4M archived ones.
12:09 🔗 JAA So that'd be 6M, not 3.9M.
12:09 🔗 JAA Or does the archived count include the non-archived ones?
12:30 🔗 Raccoon has joined #archiveteam-bs
12:36 🔗 OrIdow6 JAA: I get something more like 3.1m archived and 400 000 active from randomly trying thread IDs
12:37 🔗 OrIdow6 https://transfer.notkiska.pw/x2MqA/SAForumRandomIDs.py
12:39 🔗 OrIdow6 (There's probably not much value in sharing a script that took about 6 minutes to write, but oh well)
12:40 🔗 JAA Cheers
12:41 🔗 JAA So I guess 3.4M might be archived plus active.
12:42 🔗 OrIdow6 That's what it looks like
12:42 🔗 OrIdow6 Not sure where the 2.6m comes from, though
12:42 🔗 JAA Yeah, that number is odd.
12:43 🔗 JAA It's also interesting how the number of posts per thread is massively higher for "archived" than "total" (using the homepage terms).
12:56 🔗 OrIdow6 Yes; assuming that the "total threads" and
12:56 🔗 OrIdow6 I'm accidentally pressing return a lot today
12:59 🔗 OrIdow6 ... "total posts" are indeed measuring related things, I can imagine that it might be related to how the 6 months is counted; or it could be a result of that the count for live threads is "incomplete"
13:04 🔗 HP_Archiv has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
13:05 🔗 OrIdow6 If it's not just a result of the ration legitimately changing over time, for whatever reason
13:20 🔗 BartoCH has quit IRC (Quit: WeeChat 2.8)
13:30 🔗 MrRadar It wouldn't surprise me if the thread statistics are just completely broken on the SA forums. The database is apparently a mess behind the scenes; for like a year the archiving system was broken so posts were just deleted instead of archived (that's why stuff stopped being "archived" around 2016); and reports create threads in mod forums so a huge number of threads aren't visible anyways
13:31 🔗 JAA Nice
13:31 🔗 JAA Living up to the name at least.

20:41 🔗 Ryz Some of them don't seem to have any substantial updates enough, especially jobs that I ran on 2020 May rather than 2020 January
20:41 🔗 Ryz It's a bit tricky though
20:47 🔗 ultramage has joined #archiveteam-bs
20:47 🔗 ultramage alrighty
20:48 🔗 ultramage for the mobius ingame news pages, they've been posting updates until end of march. IA's snapshot of the root page ends in january, with the initial announcement.
20:49 🔗 ultramage I'm kinda expecting that they'll do a post on the last day... but maybe not. who knows. Supposedly the whole team also worked on ff7r and they're now doing work on that instead.
20:50 🔗 Ryz Can you link me the stuff in regards to the WBM timeframe? I did a reun http://www.terra-battle.com/ - which last time I ran it in AB on 2020 May; and http://information.mobiusfinalfantasy.com/ne - which was last run in AB on 2020 January
20:50 🔗 JAA jrwr: The GBS Graveyard (what's GBS?) only goes back to 2014 though.
20:50 🔗 JAA Idk about indexing, I'd probably just archive the whole thread ID range.
20:50 🔗 Ryz I already ran https://mobiusff.square-enix-games.com/ on 2020 January, and there doesn't seem to be any significant changes
20:51 🔗 ultramage okay
20:51 🔗 ultramage I have not checked if they posted anything new there tbh. probably not. it's just a point of interest, since that site will most likely go offline.
20:53 🔗 ultramage Ryz: the information site is the ingame news. it's fairly simple in structure, and if you check you'll see that there are a bunch of new items posted since january. This site will also go perma offline, probably once they get around to tearing everything down.
20:56 🔗 Ryz Archiving http://information.mobiusfinalfantasy.com/ne should be small, as that's already done~
20:56 🔗 ultramage whee
20:56 🔗 Ryz https://mobiusff.square-enix-games.com/ ? That's no changes, their 'News' section is http://information.mobiusfinalfantasy.com/ne - which is separate from the main domain
