[00:09] heh [00:11] hahah [01:11] All right, five more hours of rsync. [01:29] lol [01:29] hey guys i am archive the stanford engineering everywhere courses because they are currently only available on youtube [01:30] can you trying this torrent? [01:30] http://blog.greenpirate.org/torrents/ [01:30] All great activist archiving begins with "lol" [01:30] haha [01:30] "lol david foster wallace papers" [01:30] illunatic: started [01:30] sweet [01:31] it was the 309 error [01:31] xD [01:31] thanks db48xOthe [01:31] 3kB/s :) [01:31] ouch it's really bad for me right now [01:32] i don't have much to work with [01:33] 5.89 GiB, 30kiB is about all i have to work with until i get a server [01:33] and i don't even have 30KiB available right now [01:33] enter the lol [01:34] Bruce Lol Enter the Lulz [01:35] :) [01:35] hrm [01:35] haven't connected to any of the other peers though [01:36] arg [01:36] oh it's just me seeding [01:36] i just added the torrent [01:36] oh [01:37] it says that there are four peers, so... :) [01:37] oh! [01:37] that was fast [01:37] whats your favorite background backup solution on nix? [01:38] rsync [01:38] after this 75+GiB science textbook library is done i will commit my huge 30KiB upload to this one [01:38] thats what Im using now (I like it) [01:39] I also use ZFS snapshots [01:39] that seems cool [01:40] which are the future [01:40] total system snapshot? is it an image file? [01:40] http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/3255 [01:40] fine, i'll google :) [01:40] illunatic: ZFS uses copy-on-write semantics [01:40] so when you overwrite a file, it doesn't actually overwrite the old file [01:41] with ZFS snapshots, you can keep the old versions of the files around as a consistant view of the filesystem as it existed at that time [01:41] using very little storage space, since it only has to keep copies of the things that changed [01:42] SketchCow: wow dude [01:43] that sounds really great db48xOthe [01:44] i am giving full upload to that torrent if you want to finish the dl [01:44] I'll leave it running [01:44] doesn't really matter how long it takes [01:44] alright [01:50] stupid youtube [02:54] illunatic: for future reference, http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce and http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce should be udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce [02:54] udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce [02:54] Otherwise it looks good [02:59] "Archivists are not, professionally, a particularly bold bunch. Oh, off hours they are fucking insane..." [02:59] hahaha [03:01] SketchCow: That is an absolutely excellent article [04:21] underscor: those aren't working in my torrent client atm [04:21] Hah, this guy just filed a ticket with us: http://www.irrelevant.com/ [04:23] illunatic: Which aren't? [04:23] Though I didn't look; Jason may well already have all of that everything. [04:26] But I figure it's relevant on the off chance that this guy has just been happily maintaining his small collection for years, completely unaware of the currents stirring about him. [04:28] http://imgur.com/gallery/9HDCD [04:28] I think SketchCow needs one of those for his birthday [04:28] the udp tracker url [04:29] i get an error that won't let me add them in transmission [04:29] oh [04:29] weird [04:29] using 2.33? [04:30] nah 2.13 [04:30] i think it's fixed in the update [04:30] hopefully [04:30] oh [04:30] yeah [04:30] there's a ppa if you're using ubuntu [04:30] i am :) [04:30] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ppa/ubuntu natty main [04:30] deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ppa/ubuntu natty main [04:30] (replace natty with whatever you're using, then apt-get update/apt-get upgrade :) [04:35] thanks :) [04:35] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [04:36] don't know what that's about, but i'll figure it out. thanks [04:38] oh relies on old launchpad ppa [04:49] ah thanks got it working with udp added to torrent [04:49] good night :) [10:54] I don't know why, but I have begun... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7329706/gctdl.jpg [10:55] isn't that the old broken one? [10:56] nah [12:31] Good god, now that you guys got me turned on to pv, I want EVERYTHING to use it. I'm supposedly restoring something now, but I have no idea if the process is actually moving data. [12:50] I use it all the time. [12:55] pv? [12:56] It's a utility which gives you progressbars when you pipe data through it [12:56] so you get a feel of how fast/slow something is goin [12:56] ah [13:31] Hmm, would a Radeon 7000 or the onboard 910GL have better performance? [13:33] both seem rather terrible [13:34] pest or cholera [13:42] Hmm, it's my Friday, so I'll probably just pricewatch for an old cheapo. [13:43] ANd install it Thursday. (Work machine is a P4 for now. Somewhat...sluggish and the GPU driver crashes when it appempts to make a GL context.) [13:43] That last part is a bit bad. [13:44] need a laptop? otherwise just get some old nvidia for cheap. [13:44] i use a 8800gts for which i paid 15� [13:44] http://ia700600.us.archive.org/31/items/cdrom-aminetcdnumber181997/graphics-gallery.png [13:44] I'd like drivers that don't crash, thanks. ;) [13:45] Man, that CD's got some actually interesting images. [13:45] SketchCow: Holy moly [13:45] windows? linux? [13:45] Awesome [13:45] Wyatt|Wor: ATi cards and "drivers that don't crash" don't mix well together. [13:45] also ati and gl [13:46] ersi: Compared to nvidia.ko? Yeah, no thanks. Stable=God. [13:46] Incidentally, I've not found god. [13:46] ATi is working quite hard on their drivers though [13:46] but they're nowhere near yet [13:46] i have zero stability problems [13:46] You're in the wrong channel, then [13:46] with the closed source drivers of course [13:46] we're as unstable as an ex-girlfriend at your wedding [13:46] * Schbirid trips over [13:46] * ersi brings out the liqour [13:47] Yeah, we had all of friendster down [13:47] A segment of my friends calls me "Precarious Llama". [13:47] but then OUT CAME THE OLD CRACK PIPE [13:47] That shit will kill you, yo [13:47] Social networks? Totally. [13:47] some pv with that pipe, thanks [13:48] 7g Rock |- <=> -| WINNING [13:48] \:D/ [13:48] http://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/6092063414/ [13:48] A recent photo of me, in tux [13:49] Totally meme-able [13:49] Classy [13:49] SketchCow: How was/is defcon? [13:49] Girl took TONS of photos during archiveteam speech, she'll transfer them over for me shortly. [13:49] Defcon was great, as always [13:50] But no, I've had no good experiences with nvidia's Linux drivers, so I'll most likely get an ATI something. And on that note, I'm going to leave work. Cheers, all! [13:53] :( [13:53] SketchCow: Neat :-) [13:54] Hung out with Chronomex. [13:56] oh yeah [13:56] jch: up for a freggin beer some day in stockholm? :) [13:58] http://www.underground-gamer.com/wiki/index.php/PC_MS-DOS_1981-1989_Missing_List -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Software-Pkg-Big-Blue-Disk-9-Very-Good-/290601047482 but no overseas shipping :( [13:58] that guy sells some nice stuff [13:58] Wow, he wants $13 [14:02] I love waiting for that moment for rtorrent to find DHT [14:02] When the download rate will go from 33k/sec to 500+ [14:02] Right now, it's 19 hours estimated to download these magazines. [14:03] http://www.youtube.com/user/afuuu666#p/u/17/4oPw63oVqpA [14:03] I play that while waiting [14:04] At some point, the collectors community is going to figure out I'm out to demolish the vintage software market, and they're going to be interestingly debate-y on it [14:04] You mean they'll be, cranky [14:05] Depends. [14:05] You know, how some musicians go "yay, torrents, my music gets out" while others shit out a kidney [14:05] Some collectors go "yay, the posers can go digital, leaving it for the real people" [14:05] While some are "You're stealing our markets" etc etc [14:09] It'd be cooler if it was "you're stealing our mana" [14:09] OK, I think masses more of Friendster go up shortly. [14:16] OK< blindtiger just became un-rsyncable [14:16] I must give a shout-out to alard. [14:16] You CRAZY [14:16] His directory on blindtiger looks like the secret treasure cave of a fairie goblin [14:17] Fuckin A' [14:17] We sure like'em treasures [14:17] README-akoha.txt escapistmagazine-video-20110811.tar [14:17] README-escapistmagazine-video-20110811.txt ethiopianmillennium-com-20110816 [14:17] README-ethiopianmillennium-com-20110816.txt googlefriendsnewsletter.tar.gz [14:17] README-googlefriendsnewsletter.txt googlegroups [14:17] README-thesheepmarket.txt sprouter.com [14:17] etc [14:17] Oooh [14:17] 488G [14:18] unrsyncable? [14:18] Today is ingesting and cleaning day [14:19] db48xOthe: ie pools closed [14:20] if the pool is closed, my 12-day-long swan dive might be interrupted [14:21] * db48xOthe yawns [14:21] We'll need to talk [14:21] If so [14:21] I should have slept last night [14:21] I need to get off that box [14:22] oh, nvm [14:22] I'm uploading to the batcave [14:22] OK [14:22] Yeah, batcave's stable [14:22] WAY more stable than blindtiger/flophouse were [14:22] they need these machines back, they're slowing down the archive [14:22] "Steady as she goes" [14:23] I'm going to have to work from home today [14:23] "Sierra Value Pack (1988)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.)" hmm I have two of these, one 1989 and one 1990 [14:23] so that I can nap [14:26] hmm [14:27] perhaps if I also consume an adenosine receptor antagonist [14:28] I'll have to visit my dealer [15:00] Wow, it has SPIKED from 30k to 80k/sec transfer [15:14] Woah, shoutout to alard indeed. [15:21] SketchCow: looks like people are starting to post their official defcon videos, got an eta on yours? [15:22] Are they? [15:22] 2 up so far [15:22] (that I've found) [15:22] Where [15:22] http://www.vimeo.com/28276038 - theprez98's talk, http://vimeo.com/28284322 - jayson street's [15:22] looks like both uploaded by the speakers themselves [15:23] @jaysonstreet and @theprez98 on twittah [15:24] I hope it ends up on http://good.net/dl/bd/ eventually [15:25] WEll, we can hope [15:26] Man, it says something that in working on my list of collections on archive.org, I am already forgetting some. [15:28] haha [15:34] Oh yeah, SketchCow, did you happen to find anything new in the stuff that the guy's been putting up on irrelevant.com? [15:35] I searched his block for any mention of textfiles, Jason, archive team, etc but didn't get any hits, so I figured he might be an unknown. [15:35] s/block/blog/ [15:35] oh wow teletext preservation [15:35] SketchCow: What happens when you run out of stuff to save? :D [15:36] he does not [15:36] Save the places that he saved stuff. [15:36] It's saving all the way down. [15:36] we have to go redundander [15:36] i mean [15:36] we have to go redundandurrr [15:36] I've not spent a lot of time on him. [15:38] You know, now that I think about it, I should just run a find over all the machines I have access to and see who's storing neat stuff. [15:38] no, you should respect people's privacy [15:38] hahahahah [15:39] wait, there might be nude girl pictures!11 [15:39] "Dude, you wanted to be private. I can totally respect that." [15:39] "Real shame" [15:39] I'm using the archive.org contributor-o-matic to find my contributions. [15:39] So far I've uploaded 2,425 items to the archive. [15:40] Schbirid: We do that sometimes anyway to free up space. Cracked copies of photoshop aren't really hiding from us if you don't bother to rename them. [15:43] there's a contributor-o-matic? [15:43] I've just been putting the ids in a text file [15:52] metamgr.php [15:52] Try it [15:58] They just ran a scan on me. [15:58] where: &w_uploader=jscott@archive.org | imagecount: 16,025| foldoutcount: 0| non-foldout images: 16,025| size: 2,349,944,318 KB [15:58] So I've uploadd 2,425 items, splitting out to 16,000 individual things, for a total of 2.3tb [16:04] ah nice [16:04] imagecount seems to include derived video thumbs and such [16:20] SketchCow: iirc metamgr uses Auth::AnyPriv(), so mere mortals can't access it [16:20] but I could be wrong [16:20] We'll find out [16:20] I can access it but it wouldn't let me change the good stuff [16:22] i just used it to see the things i uploaded [16:23] (and sent a deletion request for 4 old obsolete ones) [16:24] I find it annoying that mortals can't put things in the open_source_software collection, what's the point [16:24] Oh, neat [17:10] dude SketchCow you never got back to me about that bell dox scans collection [17:10] Yeah, I know. Gotta do that [17:12] is it *actually* hard to give me upload access to a dark collecton? [17:13] I was hoping you'd taken this time to quietly murder the lawyer. [17:14] believe me 'm working on it [17:14] but i'm also waiting on him to build me a tape transport so I can reboot the #3ESS [17:15] So many... conflicting... feelings [17:16] I'll find a way to leave this data on a bus or something [17:16] we can launder it no problem [18:44] chronomex: What are these bell dox you speak of? [18:44] I'm scanning all the documentation at the telephone museum [18:45] we have "how to run a phone company in 144 easy binders" [18:45] among other things [18:49] :D Neat! [19:36] Hi all: is there a non-Google archive of the Google books ngram dataset somewhere? If not, now may be a good time to make one. [19:37] 'Google Books Ngram Viewer will be graduating from Google Labs and will be incorporated into Google Books.', but would that include the datasets as well? [20:16] chronomex: 144 easy binders?!?!?! [20:16] well, more than that [20:16] we have 20 pallets in storage [20:16] :O! [20:16] every document ever issued, in numerical order [20:16] For Ma Bell? [20:16] metadata's a bitch [20:16] yup [20:16] Mmmmmmmh [20:16] Holy shit [20:16] Bell System Practices [20:16] That sounds like a fun project! [20:16] do want [20:17] are scanning [20:17] the best part, they're looseleaf in binders [20:17] sheetfeed city [20:17] fuck yeah ;D [20:18] http://www.floatingsheep.org/2011/08/price-of-weed.html [20:20] That is so neat [20:20] Where is the museum? [20:23] Wait wait wait [20:23] Weed is hundreds of dollars an ounce?!? [20:25] underscor: http://museumofcommunications.org/ [20:25] lols [20:25] seattle [20:25] underscor: ounce is heavy [20:25] it's a fraction of a pound, afterall [20:27] I guess [20:27] Still [20:27] Drugs are expensive :x [20:28] unfortunately many things are [20:28] [20:28] [20:28] :D [20:28] that is why you get a job with an upstanding corporation [20:28] chronomex: hahah [20:28] so you can stick it to the man by buying drugs [20:29] yeahhhhh fuckyou man [20:29] [20:29] Haven't seen that one in a while [20:29] heh [20:29] http://museumofcommunications.org/IMG0178T.jpg [20:29] Are you in that picture? [20:30] :D [20:32] as a matter of fact I am [20:32] Which one? [20:32] http://laughingsquid.com/two-ai-chatbots-attempt-to-have-a-conversation-with-each-other/ [20:32] the guy in the very front center is named "Les" or "Andy" depending on who you ask [20:32] (the stoopy guy) [20:32] oic [20:33] Are you the guy in the back? [20:33] I'm the only man there with non-gray hair [20:33] okay, younger of two such [20:34] In the very back? [20:34] mhm [20:34] cool :D [20:41] alard: i have a personal archive of the 1gram and 5gram data for english only.. but getting it on archive.org seems ideal [21:01] Yes. The only problem is to find an efficient way to get it there. It's 2.2TB, I read somewhere. [21:05] Sneakernet is probably the best [21:05] closure: Unless you have a hefty upstream [21:12] I absolutely love my new stickers :D [21:12] http://i.imgur.com/NeFS4.jpg [21:31] Or we should get archive.org to download it directly from Google. It's freely available online, after all. [21:31] alard: Link? [21:31] http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/datasets [21:33] Wow there's a lot of these [21:33] Yeah. :) http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/7363/download-all-data-from-google-ngram-viewer [21:39] If you tell me how to get them (ngrams), I'll just use an internal server. [21:39] Or underscor could. [21:40] SketchCow: Already on it [21:40] :) [21:40] rsync [21:43] http://pastebay.com/136833?p=tfreak&submit=unlock [21:43] hey free premium slots for bayfiles.com [21:43] probably going quick [21:44] mine worked, but it was about 5 minutes ago [21:44] expires in a month anyway [21:50] underscor: Great!

(4211.46 KB/s) [21:58] It takes more time to establish the connection than for the download to finish [21:58] hahaha [22:01] squid supports gopher?!? [22:02] It does‽ [22:03] apparently so [22:16] not all of the premium codes are used up yet- I just used one (#215) [22:19] although the first login leaves a lot to be desired security-wise [22:49] woop compute! on archive.org [22:49] (complete) [23:04] Adding ACE Magazine now. [23:04] I'll be making a collection of collections shortly [23:05] I have scripts, each magazine is added every 5 seconds. [23:07] http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Aace-magazine&sort=-publicdate [23:15] good evening [23:29] Greets Lowtekk [23:36] thanks [23:41] i've been told you guys have a healthy appriciation for all things old computing [23:49] indeed [23:51] excellent
