[00:02] Now that I look at it in that light, seems fanfiction.net would be a good use case for nginx; lots of static content. [00:05] in every page on the third line. I've never seen that before; googling takes you to a suicide pact: http://noarchive.net/ [00:06] yeah, fanfic writers are big on digital suicide [00:06] I dated one for a while [00:06] c-r-a-z-y [00:08] Oh, another pact NoLOC.org [00:11] It's amazing how many of these things come out of the woodwork when you look. [00:17] hrm [00:17] Downloaded: 1 files, 18K in 0.4s (43.8 KB/s) [00:17] FINISHED --2011-09-03 17:16:19-- [00:17] Total wall clock time: 2m 5s [00:17] Converting http/fanfiction.net/index.html... 3-19 [00:17] Converted 1 files in 0.002 seconds. [00:17] two minutes to download one file, and then it decided not to recurse [00:18] stupid wget [00:18] brb, time to shop [00:30] Hmm, seems it's time to get ready for work (read: wear clothes). Week five of migration hell, ho! [00:52] Wyatt: what are you migrating? [03:44] Hmm... that noloc.org site.... [03:44] On a scale of 1 to "you're a dick, gtfo", what would you rate me as if I were to save tweets with #noloc [03:49] heh [03:55] so where am I supposed to upload all these google groups [04:06] DFJustin: ask SketchCow for a slot [04:23] Cameron_D: "you're a dick, do it!" [04:23] :D [04:26] FAIL [04:30] Cameron_D: I think you should go for it [04:30] lol [04:30] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16896663037&cm_sp=ProductSpotlight-_-96-663-037-_-09032011 [04:30] Wow [04:31] I didn't know newegg sold stuff like that [04:31] lol [05:53] aHuzzah [06:19] lol [06:19] "Additional problems were encountered from the large number of spiders that had taken up residence inside the disk drive..." [07:19] probably comes from the desire to not have people take advantage of their works. [07:20] .. and possibly to be able to delete stuff once they grow up or out of their fandom with the (misguided) idea that that is it [07:21] and also the mistaken trust that people have that when stuff is uploaded to a server that the server will never shut down [10:25] Hiya all. :-) [10:27] ahoy maytee [13:24] DFJustin: I'd like a copy of your google groups. how much data is it? [13:24] did anyone get to mirror the desktop.google.com-thing? [13:32] btw: in response to my question about pipelining support: polipo pipelines outgoing requests. a hack to get pipelining with wget is thus to install polipo and go through that. :) [14:20] inv: I'm downloading desktop.google.com, but it's not going very fast. Google starts blocking you if you go too fast (especially on the /support/ urls, it seems). So if you want to make a second copy: please do. [14:23] As for the Google groups stuff: there's a lot of data, with several people (swebb had ~600GB, I have a few GB, others may too), so for the complete version you'd probably have to wait until SketchCow uploads it to archive.org. [14:29] ok [15:41] db48x: We're migrating hosting companies. 2.5 of them. Simultaneously. Without a plan, as far as I'm able to tell. [15:41] Turns out it's a rather...erm, incestuous business. [15:42] e.g. You don't really get NEW customers, so much as give another company a wad of cash to BUY all of their customers. [15:43] Wow, the best way to ensure I'll pay attention to your letter complaining about cd.textfiles.com is to fill it with whiny complaints. [15:45] Oooh, oooh, a complaint letter! [15:47] Well, this is someone displeased with the level of service of cd.textfiles.com [15:47] Also letting me know he's downloaded everything on there, and how I need to make a torrent. [15:47] You know, because 300gb torrents help people. [15:48] Hmm, displeased with the level of service. Perhaps he should opt for the premium plan? [15:50] Yes. [15:52] I get this stuff a lot. [15:53] sometimes people are blindly asking for torrents because they are so hip and social [15:54] Man, if only there was some way to use their anger energies... [15:54] Oh, you. [15:55] Remember, I follow your twitter. [15:55] I know, I know. [15:56] I won't deny I'd be pretty happy if Parallels and everything they make suddenly just...turned into something decent. [15:57] Oh, I don't know about your complaints about parallels specifically [15:57] I mean about everything. [15:59] Eh? I think I've been pretty positive lately. Well, the payroll agency password thing is seriously offensive to me, true enough [16:03] I'm sure you think that. [16:05] Eh, maybe it comes across poorly. Sorry you've got that impression of me. :( [16:09] Well anyway, I'm off to bed. I have 1Us to build in nine hours. Cheers. [16:11] has anyone gone so far as to start scanning computer shoppers? phone book style [16:16] i've got a fair stack here, but i'd hate to make my first attempt redundant if someone already has [17:03] Nobody's scanned them, but I'd like to first see if we can get a pro scan of those. [17:03] Especially the earlier Stan Veit ones [17:03] Because you'll have to break them, aren't you [17:19] SketchCow: My vkblog-nl-201108 upload has finished, everything is there (on batcave). [17:21] OK. [17:21] I'm a little concerned I cut some stuff off there. [17:21] So when I inject them into the item, let's do one last inventory. [17:22] Okay. I'll check the checksums. [17:25] * SketchCow is almost off one of the two machines he has to get off of. [17:25] One disk may have gotten sick and died, bad news for star wars forums [17:25] I mean, a TON of star wars forums, except possibly one contributors contribution. [17:27] Phrased wrong [17:27] That's what I get for having 5 conversations at once. [17:27] EXCEPT one person's contribution [17:28] The rest are fine. [19:36] inv: it's about 150gb so it's gonna take a good long time to upload even once [19:37] so if you can hang out until sketchcow can get it on ia that would be better [19:46] sure [21:32] What now. [21:32] Oh, the Google Groups [21:33] Man, I dont know how much I'm going to curate that vs. just slamming it up into a bunch of items. [21:33] Hey, the guy who whined at me got angry I pithily responded. [21:33] I see looooots of gaps in the collection on the main site (no clue about the mirrors). A bunch of 404s, 500s, and some 403s. I can't tell you exactly where yet because i'm still having wget log all the bad links, but I think this is a pretty fair sign that you should probably get a torrent together for these things as it would not only reduce load in the long run but keep an unmolested collection among all interested parties. [21:33] I mention this because I've been raping your bandwidth in an attempt to sift through everything on my own terms... clunky browser interfaces can go suck it. Hoping to hit the jackpot in here and find a several things I've been looking for but can't find anywhere else. In fact, your website is pretty much my last resort for this as I don't appear to have any evidence of those things ever being in my possession anymore and the rest of the internet d [21:33] --- [21:33] Post pithy response: [21:34] Wow, what a kind reply. Let me tell all my friends about this great guy doing this great thing for peopOH WAIT HE'S AN ASSHOLE NEVERMIND [21:34] --- [21:34] Uh oh, someone who talks like that won't be my advocate. [21:50] has anyone gone so far as to start scanning computer shoppers? <- oh god, don't get hit by a rolled up version of a computer shopper. Stan was quite taken back at how large his mag had gotten when I told him it was thicker than my local phone book, and he sent me more than one a year [21:51] wonder if i can find the ones i kept because i had put ads in them [22:36] re: torrents: people want them because they are the cool new thing, not realizing that torrents are really only good for new/popular items, or poosibly older items that don't have some existing server to handle them [22:36] in general, torrents suck at the long tail. (but then, the long tail sucks for everyone trying to serve it) [22:39] torrents can have webseeds tho [22:39] then you get the best of both worlds [22:39] I also find (private) torrents handy for uploading large files to a remote server, by putting seeds up on several networks [22:40] yes, webseed is handy. [22:41] Coderjoe: That's a smart idea. I'm going to remember that. [22:41] but then you have to have the torrent (tracker at least) and the webseed. the files can't move or you break the torrent's webseed (unless you play with scripts or redirects) [22:44] make a redirect site specifically for web seeds! [22:44] (stop hitting me, SketchCow) [22:53] Computer Shopper is on The List [23:44] 0 11:43PM:abuie@abuie-dev:/batcave 1221 Ï du -sh ngrams [23:44] 769G ngrams [23:44] Wheee [23:44] This has been running for a while [23:45] August 24th [23:45] Jeez [23:45] That's a fair amount of time [23:46] 10-day du? [23:46] No [23:46] 10 day download of ngrams from google [23:46] Sorry,m should have been clearer [23:46] I have a friend who had a 30 day rm -rf [23:47] damn [23:47] That's when you need fastrm [23:47] and rmdir [23:47] fastrm? [23:47] That's when you need umount [23:47] ^ [23:47] yeah, umount and lvm [23:47] umount and grabbing a cable [23:48] http://linux.die.net/man/1/fastrm [23:48] It can be dangerous though [23:48] Because it's pretty much BATSHIT INSANE LET'S FUCKING REMOVE THIS JOINT [23:49] as opposed to rm which is like "Shall I remove these files for you, sir?" [23:49] ah, that explains why he said find -rm was faster than rm -r .. because it does most of the same things fastrm does [23:49] and actually checks to make sure it's not breaking something [23:49] rm is not "shall I remove this file" [23:49] What pussified rm do you use [23:50] rm is always aliased to rm -i on my machines [23:50] s/machines/shells/ [23:50] find / -rm [23:50] http://tracker.archive.org:8888/ BOY, NOT A LONG QUEUE AT ALL, eh?
