[00:48] hardware, data, and ephemera [00:49] we primarily focus on data and to a lesser extent ephemera, but we understand the importance of hardware too [00:49] I'm on a tear towards that. [00:49] But not directly related to archive team [00:50] other than I'm using archive.org infrastructure to do it [00:51] i'm all about the hardware aspect [00:51] Lowtek Mystik [00:52] I'm unmelting my hardware website as we speak, it burned up in re-entry last week [01:00] Lowtekk: it did what now? [01:03] one of the plugins configuration got all mangled, and had intermittent 500 errors that I couldn't for the life of me resolve [01:03] i'd been through so many doc managers, the site kind of fell in on itself, it's tough to explain :) [01:09] perhaps one of the fine gentlemen in here could provide advice [01:21] a couple of us in here are from #messdev which is more hardware-oriented [01:23] nice [01:35] bah [01:36] construction guys working on the apt next door woke me up from my doze [01:37] what manner of noise are they making? [01:37] big crashing noise [01:41] shoot them [01:48] luckily I think they are packing up and going home [01:48] so I will be able to get back to my sleeping [01:48] enjoy [01:52] although now that I'm awake I'm hungry [01:53] I just ate a sandwich three or four hours ago [01:53] pancakes for dinner is where it's at [01:54] that does sound good [01:55] hrm, I don't think I have any eggs though [01:56] yea, I'm basically down to sandwiches or sandwiches [01:56] or oatmeal [02:00] oatmeal sandwich [02:00] hmm... no. [02:01] o ok [02:08] I just deleted the strawberry jam reserves [02:17] depleted [02:17] I was wondering. [02:57] If any of you lovely datawhores happens upon a copy of the cables.csv that was apparently leaked today, do relate to me a link [03:00] The file named "cables.csv" is 1.73 gigabytes [03:00] heh [03:15] What he said ^ [04:01] hah, rummaging through the 5.25" floppy drawer and found a drive cleaning diskette, just when I could use one [04:12] happen to have an accurite 5.25" HRD disk in there? [04:22] don't think so [04:34] I didn't know Walmart had free wifi [04:34] 4mbps too [04:39] You know what the shame is? [04:39] Knowing that [04:40] you know what the shame is? going to walmart. [04:40] Right [04:40] That's precisely what I mean. You can't know that if you don't go [04:40] I'm proud to announce that I've never been inside a walmart. [04:41] I have been very rarely. [04:41] Only bought something once or two [04:41] Once, for example, I bought critical safety equipment I needed to go on a cave run. [04:42] Otherwise I'd have wasted thousands on a trip [04:42] that makes sense [04:46] I love arguing with pro-walmart people [04:46] It's like talking to a person punching themsleves in the face, talking about freedom [04:46] ha [04:46] there are pro-walmart people? [04:47] Of course. [04:47] even tprophet who is crazy frugal doesn't actually like walmrat [04:47] Like dogs, they see "low prices" and the thinking ends there. [04:47] probably it's some sort of seattle bubble [04:47] I paid $1.19 instead of $10, I win [04:47] Fuck you for wanting me to pay $10 [04:47] QED [04:48] Ripping Mac CDs, that feels good [04:48] Trying desperately to clear out the machines [04:49] yahoovideos.2700030-2799998.tar.bz2 100% 185GB 39.6MB/s 1:19:47 [04:49] burp [04:51] I'm not even compressing now [04:51] Since these are mostly videos [05:02] http://www.archive.org/details/computermagazines [05:20] http://www.amazon.com/MB-P4BWA-Industrial-Motherboard-ISA-Slots/dp/B004HLOQH6/ [05:20] this, I want this. [05:20] core 2 duo + isa slots.

Right. [05:23] http://img.neoseeker.com/v_image.php?type=article&articleid=1491&image=9 [05:25] Mmmmh, ISA slots [05:26] hnnnng so many magazines [05:50] Walmart's okay, but I much prefer Target [05:50] Although, being in SF, I was surprised at how many specialtyish stores there were [05:51] Walmart and Target are really the main shopping places here for household things [05:53] alard: Jeez, there's a lot of these ngram things [05:53] Still downloading!

RT @instructables: As of today, all steps view and secondary images are available to everyone, logged in or not." [07:26] Whoa, something actually got BETTER after it's been aquired [07:27] o_O [07:28] that's incredible [07:28] <- perplexed [07:40] temporary [07:41] I can't believe I found this girl mentioned in a computer magazine in 10 seconds. [07:42] She works for Conde Nast! [07:58] All while adding 60 more magazines [08:03] Well, I don't care that it's temporary [08:03] cause I'm mirroring that shit, and they just made the mirror better [08:03] I'm working on it slowly though >_> [10:21] anyone here live in LA? [11:47] war5102_: I'm in SF, is that close enough? [11:47] war5102_: why do you ask? [12:01] been to SF, was curious in LA what is the best way to get around, metro or car? [12:02] car I bet [12:02] SF rocks btw ;) [12:03] like there's public transportation in the states [12:03] ha [12:03] thats what I am asking [12:03] in paris and london you can take tube/metro [12:03] get anywhere you need to go [12:03] but not sure if you can do that in LA [12:04] protip: watch for flying garage springs, had one snap last night :( [12:16] http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=BSD%2CLinux%2CUnix&year_start=1880&year_end=1920&corpus=0&smoothing=3 [12:16] I'm not sure what business Stallman had time traveling... [12:16] (Of course, if you turn the smoothing off it makes more sense.) [12:19] What format does the ngram database take exactly? [12:24] Oh, they have an article up about it. Time to read. [13:03] lol.. yea, archive this.. in plaintext... hey man i put a leak in your leak... http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/wikileaks-encryption-key-file-accidentally-leaked-online-1.381438 [13:11] Hmm, I wonder if it's legit? [13:12] depends on how paranoid that traitor is [13:15] I hope a n64 rom leak will come soon too:) [13:24] aren't there existing complete n64 ROM sets already? ;) [14:08] war5102_: LA has transit, just the city is crazy big and it might take a while to get places [14:25] wtf, my robots.txt downloader sometimes gets crazy shit. like "2097351 files/s/sueddeutsche.de/20110829" [14:25] that is 2 MB [14:25] err [14:25] 2M lines i mean [14:25] 4216760 bytes [14:25] o_O [14:25] most of it whitespace :D [14:26] oh wow, it is real [14:26] http://sueddeutsche.de/robots.txt (careful with your browser) [14:26] * Schbirid is happy because his script was not to blame [14:27] internet is full of unexpected crap [14:28] files/u/uusee.com/20110829: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows, Nullsoft Installer self-extracting archive [14:28] wicked [14:28] robots.txt as .exe? [14:28] weird [14:30] some chinese program [14:30] seems like a media player [14:34] more like a virus [14:34] yeah, media center something [14:34] oh yes, it wants to pass the windows xp firewall [14:34] (yes, i am in a virtual machine) [14:38] http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=4bc03da7d1fd7da62a339ae73aa270cbfcf3508353777d11d9c4fbc708931f45-1313011182 [14:42] weird, it seems like they serve that every once in a while [14:43] this bloats my archive .( [14:43] huh [14:43] disk is cheap! [14:45] but yeah [14:46] seems like uusee is the only offender (that drastically) though [14:46] all others at least serve text, which compresses well [14:54] wait, i already remove bad files. forgot about that [14:55] bad regexp :) [14:56] '(.*data.*|.*empty.*|.*HTML document.*|.*gzip compressed data.*|.*application.*|^PE32 executable.*|.*image data.*)' works [15:27] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2W4wglPW2c [16:28] chronomex: would you recommend car and metro or metro only? [20:55] Jason, that is the best user agent string ever. (Who's getting that in their logs?) [20:59] Spectrum Magazine archive [21:00] 52gb of digitized spectrum magazines [21:00] 30gb done [21:01] I'm just spraying through my back archives of old magazines [21:01] In for a dime, in for a grand [21:01] Some are going to be pulled down [21:01] Fine with it [21:01] If I upload 5000 magazines and 80 get pulled, well, OK [21:02] hear hear [21:10] what's spectrum? [21:12] SketchCow: so have you mirrored the uncensored wikileaks docs yet? :P [21:12] (Not that I know where they are) [21:18] No. [21:18] Boy, let me do that [21:18] And then [21:18] AND THEN [21:18] I'm going to go outside and slam my dick in the car door [21:18] WITH my dick in the car door, I'll drive to main street [21:18] and run over a cop [21:18] and wait [21:24] if you do all of that you can just plead insanity [21:26] Or tuesday [21:26] I can plead that it's tuesday [21:26] heh [21:27] I'm now adding Info magazine [21:27] These are some strange magazines, yo [21:30] http://www.archive.org/details/info-magazine [21:30] It consistently lags as I dump things into the queue. [21:31] http://www.archive.org/details/micro-adventurer-17 [21:32] Somehow I missed there was a dedicated adventurer magazine [21:33] that looks like some pretty good musical typography on page 8 of issue 9 [21:36] hmm [21:37] "Fortunately, if you have the need to run several memory-hungry programs concurrently, the Amiga's memory can be expanded to 8 megabytes, more than enough to handle almost anyone's needs." [22:08] I think I found a weird awk bug... [22:10] echo 10011001010011101011100|awk '{ printf("%024d\n", $0) }' #returns 010011001010011101986816 [22:11] And if you change the %024d to %024s, it pads it with a space. [22:14] not a bug [22:17] awk uses floating point numbers internaly, and 10011001010011101986816 is simply the value nearest to 10011001010011101011100 that a double can represent [22:17] note that it's reading the number in as base 10, not binary [22:20] you can find any number of documents online explaining the shortcomings of floating-point numbers [22:20] if you want to do arithmetic on large integers, you should use a different tool; I recommend dc [22:20] bbl [22:21] I ran into dc at some point...and bounced off. [22:21] And yes, I'm aware that FP is derpy. [22:21] But what about the %024s? That should pad with zeros, right? [23:20] only numbers can be padded with zeros [23:22] "A leading '0' (zero) acts as a flag that indicates that output should be padded with zeros instead of spaces. This applies only to the numeric output formats. This flag only has an effect when the field width is wider than the value to print." [23:34] Hmm, somehow I missed that line, and I saw examples where that worked. Bitchy.
