02:46 🔗 SketchCow My Friendster thing is just going and going and going.
02:46 🔗 chronomex yeah, it's kind of blocking the queue isn't it
02:47 🔗 chronomex SketchCow: what's the header to upload something directly to dark status?
02:47 🔗 chronomex or does putting it in a dark collection accomplish that?
02:54 🔗 SketchCow Do one and see
02:54 🔗 SketchCow Sadly, it's not easy for me to know from here.
02:54 🔗 SketchCow There's a lot of arcane stuff going on.
02:54 🔗 SketchCow Do one, I'll see it
03:03 🔗 chronomex okay, when I get home I will

05:15 🔗 chronomex SketchCow: in the log it says "this is a restricted item", but it doesn't seem very restricted.
05:26 🔗 SketchCow Let's see what it does when it's done deriving.
05:27 🔗 SketchCow Right now it's in no search and you need to know the item name to find it.
05:28 🔗 chronomex okay
05:29 🔗 chronomex I'm not worried about Internet Dubious Copyright Police swooping down in the next few days, if that's what you're thinking
05:30 🔗 chronomex :P
05:31 🔗 SketchCow No
05:32 🔗 SketchCow I realize you want to know if it's doing what it's supposed to.
05:32 🔗 SketchCow That's all I'm saying, I think this is how it works.
05:32 🔗 chronomex yeah
05:32 🔗 * chronomex nods
05:32 🔗 chronomex I'm fairly impressed with archive.org's uploader-facing tools
05:32 🔗 chronomex they're mature, if sparsely documented
06:20 🔗 perfinion anyone good at nfs?
06:20 🔗 perfinion im getting uid/gids of 2^32

21:22 🔗 Ymgve what the fuck, MS
21:43 🔗 SketchCow Is that about the secret boot thing
21:44 🔗 chronomex no, it's something they do to floppy disks on read
21:47 🔗 SketchCow Wow, that IS crazy
21:47 🔗 SketchCow There's this other thing where MS wants to make it so specialized hardware won't boot unless it's signed to OS
21:47 🔗 SketchCow Dead in water, no hardware vendor wants this
21:47 🔗 SketchCow newegg gets more cash
21:47 🔗 SketchCow story over

22:49 🔗 alard SketchCow / others: I added some polish to the JSTOR thing, made it a bit more fool-proof too. Have a go at http://severe-samurai-6114.heroku.com/
22:52 🔗 SketchCow It's very beautiful.
22:55 🔗 alard I had a bit of fun. It needs testing and text.
22:55 🔗 SketchCow I'll write some
22:56 🔗 SketchCow I have to think about the language.
22:56 🔗 alard Great.
22:56 🔗 alard I'm compiling a list of all free articles, have the index pages of about 20,000 of the 28,000 free issues now.
