09:08 ๐Ÿ”— kin37ik well, i guess that was a rather enjoyable trip
09:32 ๐Ÿ”— kin37ik stupid router
13:17 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud folks- it appears the retry file keeps writing to itself- did I start it wrong?
13:22 ๐Ÿ”— alard dashcloud: I just ran the whole chunk file again. It seems that the only things in my retry file are the chroot problems, and they don't disappear if you retry.
13:22 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud ah- that's what's happening here
13:23 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud so I should just cancel the file then, since it will never end
13:27 ๐Ÿ”— alard Yes, I think so.
13:53 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud thanks
18:39 ๐Ÿ”— alard balrog: I saw your comments about MobileMe. Have you tried the scripts on the wiki/github? Did they work?
19:03 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: I looked at them.
19:03 ๐Ÿ”— balrog they don't work with Mac.com / iDisk
19:04 ๐Ÿ”— alard The iDisk part of mac.com, or also web.mac.com or homepage.mac.com?
19:04 ๐Ÿ”— alard (or web.me.com)
19:05 ๐Ÿ”— balrog umm
19:05 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: stuff like http://homepage.mac.com/mac_vieuxnez/FileSharing16.html
19:05 ๐Ÿ”— balrog wget doesn't work either
19:07 ๐Ÿ”— alard Hmm, yes. But can you download any of those files? I get 'Access denied by access control list.' when I click on the download links.
19:07 ๐Ÿ”— balrog huh? that used to work :(
19:07 ๐Ÿ”— balrog yeah it fails
19:08 ๐Ÿ”— balrog well I have a local copy
19:08 ๐Ÿ”— balrog there's a rare MPW set for Mac on it
19:09 ๐Ÿ”— alard Strange. I also get the idea that the content is the same as on http://public.me.com/USERNAME
19:09 ๐Ÿ”— alard E.g. https://public.me.com/ardeshir and http://homepage.mac.com/ardeshir/FileSharing8.html
19:09 ๐Ÿ”— balrog wouldn't surprise me :/
19:09 ๐Ÿ”— balrog though some things indicated otherwise
19:09 ๐Ÿ”— balrog yeah that does look like the same
19:10 ๐Ÿ”— alard But that doesn't work for your example: https://public.me.com/mac_vieuxnez
19:11 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: yeah I have all of it here
19:11 ๐Ÿ”— balrog should I tarball and send it someplace?
19:11 ๐Ÿ”— balrog I mirrored it Jun 10
19:11 ๐Ÿ”— alard Although the fact that you get a login screen corresponds nicely with the fact than you can't download anything from homepage.mac.com.
19:11 ๐Ÿ”— balrog from this user, at least
19:12 ๐Ÿ”— balrog I have all those files though
19:12 ๐Ÿ”— balrog I hope you didn't miss that :)
19:12 ๐Ÿ”— alard Well, I'm not particularly interested in this user. :) The question of iDisk being accessible or not is more interesting.
19:13 ๐Ÿ”— balrog ahh.
19:13 ๐Ÿ”— alard From a 'we should download mobileme' perspective, that is.
19:13 ๐Ÿ”— balrog well, it is going away come June
19:14 ๐Ÿ”— alard Yes.
19:14 ๐Ÿ”— balrog as for this user รขย€ย” well I wasn't able to find that old MPW anywhere else
19:15 ๐Ÿ”— balrog (MPW is the development software Apple provided for early Mac OS)
19:16 ๐Ÿ”— chronomex Mac Programmer's Wrokshop, yes?
19:17 ๐Ÿ”— balrog yes, indeed
19:17 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: https://public.me.com/ardeshir allows me to dl
19:17 ๐Ÿ”— balrog http://homepage.mac.com equivalent doesn't
19:18 ๐Ÿ”— alard Yeah, so I think that if you archive public.me.com, you also get the iDisk part of homepage.mac.com.
19:18 ๐Ÿ”— balrog I guess.
19:19 ๐Ÿ”— alard So that part is solved then.
19:21 ๐Ÿ”— balrog homepage.mac.com and web.me.com aren't the same though
19:21 ๐Ÿ”— balrog (non-idisk)
19:22 ๐Ÿ”— alard No. But as far as I can see web.mac.com and web.me.com are, and homepage.me.com doesn't exist?
19:24 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: compare http://homepage.mac.com/mac_vieuxnez/ and http://web.mac.com/mac_vieuxnez/
19:25 ๐Ÿ”— balrog web.me.com is the same as the latter though, yeah
19:25 ๐Ÿ”— balrog homepage.mac.com exists but isn't great
19:26 ๐Ÿ”— alard (Sidenote: I updated the wiki with the new conclusion about iDisk.)
19:26 ๐Ÿ”— alard homepage.mac.com is older, I think.
19:26 ๐Ÿ”— alard And therefore more interesting.
19:26 ๐Ÿ”— balrog and already partially non-working :(
19:27 ๐Ÿ”— ersi Remember, we save shit from burning buildings
19:27 ๐Ÿ”— ersi You usually can't grab it all
19:27 ๐Ÿ”— balrog well, we can grab it now while most of it is still here
19:27 ๐Ÿ”— alard Yes, so how should we go about that?
19:28 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: it has to be organized and divided out
19:28 ๐Ÿ”— balrog much like the berlios effort
19:28 ๐Ÿ”— alard True, with the added problem that berlios is much more structured.
19:28 ๐Ÿ”— alard There's no list of what's on mac.com/me.com.
19:28 ๐Ÿ”— balrog yup, that's the biggest issue
19:28 ๐Ÿ”— balrog have to crawl google?
19:28 ๐Ÿ”— alard And we need to get the scripts working.
19:29 ๐Ÿ”— alard Googling is probably necessary. I've been compiling a list of usernames for the past few weeks (off and on, that is).
19:31 ๐Ÿ”— alard I asked the wayback machine for all urls under homepage.mac.com, web.me.com etc. And I'm asking Google. So far that's produced 353.000 usernames.
19:31 ๐Ÿ”— chronomex not too shabby
19:31 ๐Ÿ”— alard But probably not enough (plus not all of them are valid).
19:32 ๐Ÿ”— alard I discovered an additional problem today: quite a number of homepage.mac sites do not have an index page, but have their content in a subdirectory that's inaccessible from homepage.mac.com/username
19:32 ๐Ÿ”— alard So my list of usernames won't help to get to those.
19:34 ๐Ÿ”— balrog ugh. :(
19:34 ๐Ÿ”— balrog what about trying .Public?
19:34 ๐Ÿ”— alard What's that?
19:35 ๐Ÿ”— balrog wait a minute
19:35 ๐Ÿ”— balrog that no longer works
19:35 ๐Ÿ”— balrog see http://homepage.mac.com/mac_vieuxnez/ImpeachBush.html for example
19:35 ๐Ÿ”— balrog the images are broken
19:36 ๐Ÿ”— alard This site's interesting, their menu has links to the wayback archive version of their own site: http://homepage.mac.com/shanerosenthal/reformationink/
19:36 ๐Ÿ”— balrog I think apple already started phasing it out
19:36 ๐Ÿ”— balrog where?
19:38 ๐Ÿ”— alard First two links in the menu (doesn't have anything to do with mac.com, it's just funny).
19:39 ๐Ÿ”— balrog ha, interesting
19:39 ๐Ÿ”— balrog well, homepage.mac.com needs to be on the priority list :/
19:41 ๐Ÿ”— alard It doesn't need to get on a list, it needs action! :)
19:42 ๐Ÿ”— balrog indeed :)
19:42 ๐Ÿ”— balrog well my G5 is ready and waiting ;)
19:52 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: bbiab
20:29 ๐Ÿ”— closure jwz would like someone to rip http://liquidtelevision.com/
20:32 ๐Ÿ”— underscor jwz?
20:32 ๐Ÿ”— underscor That sounds vaguely familiar, like I should know it
20:33 ๐Ÿ”— closure jamie zawinski
20:33 ๐Ÿ”— chronomex jwz.org
20:57 ๐Ÿ”— underscor woah
20:58 ๐Ÿ”— underscor this guy has done a fuckton of shit
21:04 ๐Ÿ”— chronomex jwz? yeah. he's one of the first bloggers.
21:04 ๐Ÿ”— chronomex "bloggers"
21:16 ๐Ÿ”— alard What part of liquidtelevision? All of it?
21:19 ๐Ÿ”— ersi archive, EVERYTHING!
21:23 ๐Ÿ”— alard Because, well, maybe my internet connection has psychic powers, but I don't see why it's so hard to download.
21:24 ๐Ÿ”— alard "get around their DRM"? I can download it with rtmpdump and it just works. (http://www.jwz.org/blog/2011/10/liquid-television/)
21:25 ๐Ÿ”— ersi rtmpdump for the win <3
21:27 ๐Ÿ”— alard Would it be worth downloading?
21:28 ๐Ÿ”— bbot_ look within yourself for the answer, luke
21:28 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: rtmpdump breaks drm ;)
21:28 ๐Ÿ”— balrog what, liquidtelevision is going away?
21:29 ๐Ÿ”— bbot_ nope
21:29 ๐Ÿ”— bbot_ it's not even vaguely an AT kind of project
21:31 ๐Ÿ”— ersi It wouldn't take long for a single person to do either
21:31 ๐Ÿ”— ersi Go for it if you wish
21:33 ๐Ÿ”— balrog_ the torrent sites probably have it, don't you think?
21:46 ๐Ÿ”— underscor alard: You gonna hit it?
21:47 ๐Ÿ”— alard Well, it's a fun excercise.
21:47 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: what are you referring to, .mac/mobileme?
21:47 ๐Ÿ”— underscor The best kind of exercise! :D
21:47 ๐Ÿ”— underscor balrog: nah, liquidtv
21:47 ๐Ÿ”— balrog oh, nice.
21:47 ๐Ÿ”— alard (exercise without xc, yes :)
21:48 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: does get_flash_videos support it?
21:48 ๐Ÿ”— alard balrog: I'm not sure.
