01:23 🔗 human39 am I the only one who buy'
01:23 🔗 human39 s random people's photographs at yard sales just so they are safe and not end up as somebody's craft project?
01:38 🔗 SketchCow No
01:38 🔗 SketchCow There's a whole business in that
01:46 🔗 human39 hah, there is money in this? :-)
01:48 🔗 SketchCow Yes
01:51 🔗 Cowering i think those are called 'ghost relatives'
01:51 🔗 Coderjoe yay. this file has reached 51% complete
01:55 🔗 human39 I've been wanting to start digitizing these indie/underground tapes I got (I find in the thrift store, mostly) been thinking of starting a site with my finds.
01:58 🔗 SketchCow http://makepixelart.com/beta/
02:04 🔗 human39 neat
02:45 🔗 dashcloud why do you think video games attracted such passionate archivers, and other mediums took much longer or didn't have it at all?
02:46 🔗 chronomex books were first ;)
02:48 🔗 dashcloud yeah
03:35 🔗 underscor http://imgur.com/gallery/Nylet
03:42 🔗 chronomex lol

04:36 🔗 chronomex whoa
04:38 🔗 underscor This is not a very pretty picture >:L
04:38 🔗 underscor http://i.imgur.com/r4HuX.png
04:50 🔗 SketchCow http://imgur.com/gallery/CMnCZ
04:58 🔗 underscor http://blackboardsinporn.blogspot.com/
04:59 🔗 underscor SketchCow: That's how I sit half the time
05:09 🔗 underscor Fuck how the wayback machine handles robots.txt
05:10 🔗 underscor >:(
05:37 🔗 Coderjoe http://imgur.com/gallery/NZICQ
05:38 🔗 balrog underscor: what were you trying to access this time?
05:38 🔗 balrog and yeah, I agree, I hate that when site ownership changes, new owners can put a robots.txt that blocks all old copies
05:38 🔗 underscor Nothing in particular
05:38 🔗 balrog I found that "domain parking" sites are now doing that.
05:38 🔗 underscor Just that they can do that
05:38 🔗 chronomex balrog: been doing that for YEARS
05:38 🔗 balrog there should be some safeguard against that :(
05:39 🔗 chronomex yep, it's been on the wayback machine wishlist for years
11:26 🔗 ersi "600 documents saved!"
14:30 🔗 godane SketchCow: http://www.cracked.com/article_19453_6-reasons-were-in-another-book-burning-period-in-history.html
14:30 🔗 godane something i think you would like to read
15:51 🔗 SketchCow Read it.
15:51 🔗 SketchCow Nobody buys in
15:51 🔗 SketchCow 1. It's fucking Cracked
15:51 🔗 SketchCow 2. The structure is wrong
16:08 🔗 SketchCow Man, I am uploading hundreds of gigs of Yahoo Video up to archive.org every day and it still feels slow.
16:08 🔗 SketchCow This is a lot of data.
16:16 🔗 balrog SketchCow: you're sure it wouldn't be better to mail a hard drive?
16:18 🔗 SketchCow Uh....
16:18 🔗 SketchCow You know what, you don't know the situation, so I'll just say no.
16:18 🔗 SketchCow I am as close to the infrastructure as you can get, and I'm getting transfer speeds of 40-80MB/s.
16:19 🔗 SketchCow And even at 40/80MB/s, the processing, the shared machine, the whole deal - this is at breakneck.
16:27 🔗 SketchCow A lot of this is that there was no standard post-download packaging script, this is what I am paying for over and over.
16:27 🔗 SketchCow In some cases, it's .xz vs. .bz2, that's fine. But the naming conventions are crazy, and some people are just uploading directories with upwards of 500,000 files.
16:33 🔗 closure woot! wget has finished craling all 4k belios project pages (at depth 1)
16:34 🔗 db48x why only at depth 1?
16:35 🔗 SketchCow Lay of the land, I assume
16:35 🔗 db48x just do -D "developer.berlios.de" and let it rip
16:35 🔗 closure it's too big.. php generated pages, possibly infinite numbers of them
16:36 🔗 closure this way at least we have descriptions and toplevel views of the forums etc for all projects
16:36 🔗 closure anyway, I hope someone will do something with forgeplucker
16:36 🔗 db48x yea
16:36 🔗 db48x I've got it partly working
16:37 🔗 closure SketchCow: in case you didn't see, we found 300 gb of belios project data available for rsync, and got it all
16:38 🔗 closure wow, I have 100 thousand files wgetted from berlios
16:38 🔗 db48x at depth 1!?
16:40 🔗 closure yes
16:40 🔗 closure like I was saying
16:40 🔗 closure well, I did run at depth inf for a day
16:40 🔗 db48x ah
16:41 🔗 Coderjoe has anyone contacted them about possibly getting a database export of some kind or such? yes, I know... pull first ask later/never. but in addition to doing the pull, someone might check to see if they would be willing to provide a dump of some kind
16:42 🔗 closure I emailed them. no reply yet
16:42 🔗 Coderjoe ok
16:44 🔗 balrog closure: you might want to email Jörg Schilling, but note that he's known to be difficult to deal with.
16:44 🔗 closure yeah, I'd have to find a different email address
16:45 🔗 closure in fact, if someone *else* wants to mail berlios, on the off chance they filter me, please feel free
16:46 🔗 balrog closure: I said Jorg specifically, not exactly BerliOS
18:42 🔗 yipdw closure: well, if they don't respond, then we just keep hammering their website
18:42 🔗 yipdw closure: btw, need help on anything else?
18:42 🔗 yipdw seems like some things like Sourcewell could be easily pulled
19:06 🔗 closure yipdw: I have not looked at sourcewell, or anything outside the basic foge/developer site
19:06 🔗 yipdw closure: ok
19:07 🔗 yipdw I'll poke at the weblogs
19:20 🔗 alard closure/yipdw: Anyone looking at sourcewell? If not, I'll have a go.
19:20 🔗 closure suggest you guys update the sections of the wiki for those things..
19:21 🔗 alard That's a good idea. I should've looked there first. :)
19:28 🔗 db48x heh

23:15 🔗 Coderjoe <3 how the archive.org video system misidentifies avi codecs it doesn't know as cinepak
23:16 🔗 Coderjoe in this case it was dv
