[01:43] http://www.geek.com/articles/geek-cetera/google-fiber-shows-its-potential-with-151mbps-download-speeds-20110823/ [01:53] Not bad. Now they just need to increase it sevenfold. ;) [01:55] why? [01:56] that's faster than gigabit [02:02] Err...150 megabits is not faster than 1000 megabits. [02:02] err, wait [02:02] umm [02:02] check that again ;) [02:02] yeah, that's an order of magnitude. [02:02] Hm...fucking suffixe [02:03] that's like 1250mbit [02:03] err 1200 almost flat [02:04] 151 (megabytes per second) = 1.1796875 gigabits per second [02:04] Wait, wait, wait, is that speed test thin in megabytes? [02:04] yes [02:04] It says "Mb/s" [02:04] yes [02:05] speedtest does megabytes [02:05] Then they should probably label it that way. [02:05] Mb = Megabytes [02:05] i know [02:05] people use the capital the wrong way all the time [02:06] i think it should just be mb = megabye [02:06] mbit = megabit [02:06] Since when? Mb is a megabit. MB is a megabyte. [02:07] yes, like i said [02:08] they use Mb as megabytes [02:08] <+NovaKing> people use the capital the wrong way all the time [02:08] which is dumb, of course [02:10] NovaKing: Seems they're not using it wrong. Just tested it. [02:11] someone in another chan I pasted that link into is arguing me into the ground that speedtest does their tests in megabit [02:11] Aranje: Did you try it yourself? [02:11] yes [02:11] 11.23mbps [02:11] which is about half of my actual speed, but it's peak hour [02:11] of 22mbit [02:12] Interesting. I'm very certain I don't have a 136 Mb home connection. But 17 Mb is about right. [02:13] so what measurement did you get results in? [02:13] megabit? [02:13] It gave me 17 megabits. [02:13] Mb/s [02:13] mmk :) [02:13] NovaKing: It's megabit, not megabyte. [02:15] I will say Google delivers some killer latency, though. [02:17] yeah [02:17] check this one [02:17] http://speedtest.net/result/1381442369.png [02:17] a friend of mine has that on his server [02:17] http://speedtest.net/result/1448950604.png Just found that. Nifty little feature. [02:18] http://www.speedtest.net/result/1448951087.png [02:18] interesting [02:19] you have 3x the latency for 2/3 the distance [02:19] Not bad, I wonder where the bottleneck in that server is. [02:19] ram [02:19] For network performance? [02:19] It's a webserver, it's always bound at ram [02:20] though his mysql box is what falls over often enough [02:20] recursive queries are a bitch lol [02:21] For a benchmark like this, memory shouldn't be a problem...isn't it only about a megabyte down in their test? [03:01] Oh dear... du -h Lord_of_the_Jewel_Master.avi : 6.9G ; du -h output.avi 8.1G [03:01] Doh! [03:16] if you moved from lossy to lossless, that's normal [03:18] what is that file? [03:21] I'm more surprised it wound up a full gigabyte larger with no colourspace conversion. [03:22] bsmith093: Fandub parody mashup of Inuyasha and LotR. [03:22] ok that sounds hilarious is there a link? [03:23] Considering I may have the only copy still in existence? Not yet. [03:23] I'm looking to fix that. [03:24] oh right, good luck with the upload [03:24] Actually considering the MTBF of hard drives and the general habits of the asshole that made this? This is the last copy anywhere... [03:25] Now I'm kind of glad I made multiple copies. [03:25] so how did you get a copy then? [03:26] hey, btw, does anyone have a copy of the old geekfu action grip podcasts, theyve been removed from the website, when the show changed focus, and i found them too late. aslo yeah , that sounds like a story. [03:26] how DID you get a copy/ [03:26] I worked closely with the asshole who made it until he was enough of an asshole that I decided to bail. [03:27] so is he a talented asshole or just an asshole that got lucky? [03:28] Sociopath who had the fortune to gather a lot of talented people to an ideal. [03:29] Also a pedophile. That was the super tipping point. [03:29] I'm glad you could grab a copy then [03:29] Yeah, wish I'd had the presence of mind to raid the other hard drives. [03:30] There was a WIP lampoon of FFX in there, too. [03:31] such a shame- but if the talent was in the other people, hopefully they'll come together on something else in the future [03:32] Well, we'll see. It built me good contacts in anime con world and some good experience with other stuff. [03:32] uh oh [03:32] if you've got encoding questions though, #ffmpeg or #x264 on freenode can help you out [03:32] I want to say "triple threat", but there's only two [03:33] Double threat? [03:33] yea, but that doesn't have the same ring to it [03:33] And what are we threatening? [03:34] http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5782108/73/Harry_Potter_and_the_Methods_of_Rationality [03:34] if you haven't seen this yet, be careful [03:34] also, it's chapter 73, so you're coming into the middle of the story, etc [03:35] Hahaha, it's still such a....bizarre concept that Eliezer Yudkowsky writes fanfiction. [03:35] indeed [03:42] wtf http://www.fanfiction.net/robots.txt [03:43] oh, that's lame [03:50] Oh piss off, that's a bastard of a move. [03:58] oh fanfiction.net [03:58] you zany guys [04:01] Is "Disallow: " equivalent to "Disallow: /"? [04:03] oh. that's the jewel master? i must have! [04:04] Coderjoe: You've seen it? You're well-traveled. [04:04] i doubt it is the only copy in existance... the people that run midnight madness at anime central had a copy last year [04:04] Coderjoe: Probably a VHS copy, though. [04:05] they played it from DVD, but it may have been a transfer from VHS [04:05] To my knowledge, this is the final master after months in Premiere. [04:06] I wasn't aware it was still in circulation though; good to know. [04:06] I wonder who else has a copy. [04:07] they generally do not give out copies, though they may trade [04:08] although recently they have given out some older stuff at the saturday parody panel [04:09] Not important in this case. [04:09] my have been a draft or something. or perhaps a trailer [04:09] i no longer remember for certain [04:09] DFJustin: You know what that means [04:10] A continuous crawl of fanfic.net [04:10] :D [04:10] And if it's ACen, I _might_ have enough pull to get something even without invoking some other people I know. [04:10] But that's neither here nor there. It's not happening for about ten months. [04:12] Wheeeeee [04:12] Finished the rewrite of the torrent backend for archive.org [04:12] Anyone with spare time, feel free/please play around and test it [04:12] http://www-abuie.archive.org/ [04:13] The torrent links should show up on any item browsed on that hostname [04:15] so you're still coding for the archive? [04:34] wow [04:34] that fanfiction.net robots.txt file is awful [05:23] Ahoy! [06:16] Welcome to the New Autocratic Republic of Archival Sealand. Passport? [06:30] yes, please [07:14] Wow, I just had to explain robots.txt to a friend. Well not "had to" so much as "mentioned and answered the query with, 'it's a suicide note'". [07:14] Seriously, good call on that description. [07:15] is it only used to tell google not to index? [07:15] or does it have other purposes? [07:15] googlecide [07:16] Googlebot isn't nearly as abusive as Yahoo's slurp [07:17] I'm told we routinely IP ban yahoo's indexer because it crushes our older shared servers. [07:19] illunatic: It's a note to all robots visiting [07:19] ie. web spiders, scripts etc [07:20] hm i was just reading something about how to tell google bot not to visit so often [07:21] i wonder if yahoo has something like that [07:23] Maybe it does. But unfortunately we can't well stick that in the robots.txt for a few tens of thousands of domains. They get pissy when we replace their exploited timthumb with a patched copy and deny them fopen() in php. [07:27] hah [07:47] illunatic: Well, sometimes people/software care about robots.txt (We in AT doesn't).. sometimes, some people just see it as "I'll fucking grab it! But I won't put it in my search index" [07:48] wget doesn't care huh [07:48] do you guys use wget usually or what? [07:48] yes, slirp resepects a directive on how often to hit a site [07:49] o hey weirdo! [07:49] heh [07:49] yeah that's good [07:49] ethical [07:49] wget cares [07:49] but there's flag that says "fuck off with the robots.txt" [07:49] ndurner_o: I just noticed, I've been getting a lot of 302 and 404. Also it seems like a great number of these are only about 4k? Is that correct behaviour? [07:50] i called myself that in the comment because of the weird urge to submit that captcha. (the unknown text was really faded, but I could read it) [07:50] hah [07:51] i had a couple of good captcha screenshots [07:51] (what kind of weirdo comments just to submit a captcha (granted, it was a recaptcha)?) [07:51] the one that puts two random words together [07:51] you must be from the internets [07:51] I have a number of odd ones... from when I went to the recaptcha site and solved a bunch of them [07:54] o_o [07:55] "cleavage first" [07:57] http://image.bayimg.com/jajojaadl.jpg [08:00] Wyatt: 302 and 404 from Google? [08:01] 302 is okay, but I dont remember seeing 404s [08:03] ndurner_o: Okay, looking up further there may not be many 404. Maybe it was just some spam that got nuked? Not really sure. [08:05] ah, yes. Correct. For some reason, some deleted groups still show up in the indexes. [08:06] ndurner_o: Another anomaly(?) I'm seeing is it's downloading the -pages.zip but not the -files.zip, but seems to think it's getting both. [08:08] it deletes empty files afterwards [08:10] Ah [08:11] Then in most cases there just really is less than 4k of data? [08:12] (I should have stuck with reiserfs if I really wanted to know the size of my files...) [08:18] can't say if it's really *most* cases, but that's not uncommon [08:20] http://coderjoe.imgur.com/recaptcha [08:22] how do you do this one correctly? [08:22] http://coderjoe.imgur.com/recaptcha#C2Hol [08:29] That is an excellent question [09:35] Coderjoe: I got some with mathematical formulae in it [09:35] upside-down greek letters [09:35] things that aren't in unicode [09:36] so I gave it the LaTeX code to render that [09:49] I wonder when some enterprising captcha breaker will realise most of the maths captcha resolve to 1 or 0. [09:54] ndurner_o: One more: what causes the 509s? Is it me or is it the combined aggregate of everyone? [09:56] everyone... and me not being at home right now to loosen the bandwidth throttle a bit again [09:57] (which is not too bad, that just means I'll open the gates more later) [09:57] Ahh, can't ssh in and fix it? Sadness. :( [09:59] I prefer not to mix work and leisure too badly [10:28] chronomex: like http://coderjoe.imgur.com/recaptcha#8hjJw ? [10:29] yup [10:30] also upside-down capital pi [10:31] what about http://coderjoe.imgur.com/recaptcha#DlX0E [10:32] Time cloging http://coderjoe.imgur.com/recaptcha#rkMth [10:33] hehe [10:33] "A+++ would repull" http://coderjoe.imgur.com/recaptcha#c4RTE [10:34] heh [11:56] DFJustin: Yeah, I am [11:56] I suppose it's time to write a FF.net archiver [11:56] ;D [11:57] lool, the fuck [11:57] sore wa ne [11:57] bleh, scraping imgur will take decades [11:58] scrape flickr then [12:01] aren't you already doing that? [12:04] doing and doing [12:04] not with very much effort [12:06] on a positive note: one defunct image host has released all their images in torrent form [12:07] which? [12:09] waffleimages [12:09] specific to something awful, but it had like 300gb of images [12:10] tho 99% of it is probably "let's play" - people playing games and screenshotting as they go along so others can follow [12:11] hehe, 'k [12:15] Gah, I so wish there was a way to leave messages for people on IRC [12:15] (or that everyone idled 24/7) [12:16] several networks do... memoserv. i don't think efnet has one, however [12:17] oh, that's neat [12:17] Never heard of that [12:19] I want one of these so bad >:| http://fukung.net/v/28045/3bf7b073726582aed24b29d395b2b8f9.jpg [12:22] awesome trap [13:39] I kinda want something like this, but I want to use a different camera: http://blog.archive.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/muller1.jpg [13:47] Morning. [13:49] OK, so I do want to see what we're up to, but my oldest friend wants me for lunch at noon, so I would need to leave sooner rather than later. [13:49] mmmmh, lunch [13:51] Damn, I rendered some video [13:51] And I appear to have rendered it at half resolution [13:54] ah, fuck me, that is EXACTLY what happened. [13:54] This one and the previous one. [13:54] That's a shame. [13:56] OK, I'm going to upload the half-resolution, and then re-render both these ones that were failures [13:56] That'll be the way to do it. [14:20] SketchCow: Hi. Any news about rsync upload accounts on the new server yet? [14:25] msg me [14:37] underscor: I had a thought the other day, the wayback machine lets you do wildcard queries like http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://textfiles.com/anarchy/* , but you can't do filename ones like */something.zip [14:38] seems like something that would be really useful for finding old software etc. and potentially not that hard to do (although I guess it depends how they have things indexed) [14:43] http://www.archive.org/details/1979-Fall-compute-magazine [14:44] About to add 159 just like that. [23:13] http://contemporary-home-computing.org/1tb/archives/2933 - wow [23:18] dashcloud: lol
