[04:34] arrith: [04:39] bsmith094: ? [05:26] bsmith094: you can sync up a copy of the redis database by teling it to slaveto solitude.wegetsignal.org 6379 [05:27] you can watch the output of the info command, watching for it to say it is done syncing. then you "slaveof no one" and you have your own copy [05:28] underscor: atidlebot's PRNG is broken [08:00] bsmith094: more specifically, you need to watch for "master_link_satus" in the output of the "info" command to change from down to up. once it is up, you can then "slaveof no one" [08:02] and then if you "scard stories" you should get 3658953 [11:56] Well, me and the french abandonware magazine guys are at odds with each other. [12:02] SketchCow: any new developments? [12:04] Well, the site leader came up with this arbitrary day of December 19 that he would get back to me officially. [12:04] Somewhere in the last day or two, he opened the floor to members of the site on the forum to discuss it. [12:05] Like any such discussion, there are thoughtful people and there are clueless wombats. [12:05] Now, bear in mind, I have ALL the french issues. All. [12:05] There is NO WAY they're not going on archive.org - they're going up there, just maybe not to the public. [12:05] Like, the shit is in the archive. That's good. [12:06] But the whole thing is kind of sad. Lot of misinformed people. [12:06] Meanwhile, I've uploaded 6,000 albums up into archive.org from Jamendo, and added all the scans of 73 Magazine, etc. [12:06] I.e. I've already shot well past what they represented. [12:06] you could write an impassioned essay to the users of the site and get it well-translated into french [12:06] or paragraph [12:06] Well, I'm writing one in english. [12:07] Do you speak french? [12:07] ah [12:07] i don't [12:07] i know a guy who does but i don't know if his english is that good [12:08] I have some folks. Your idea is excellent, and will encourage me to write a good reply, as it has to go through a person. [12:09] sounds good :) [12:09] if they're taking a vote and there's enough misinformed people then that won't work out too well, but if it's just the mods looking for input hm, that could go either way [12:10] I am just about convinced that they will not go for it. [12:10] I can't begin to indicate how much I hate the abandonware mindset in so many forms. [12:10] preaching to the choir there ;/ [12:11] Yeah, but it makes it very hard to even consider the thing. [12:11] one thing that happens a bunch is with software especially. an author deliberately letting a project die rather than trying to continue it in some open source form or something [12:11] Now, to write a script that converts a .cbr or a .cbz to a _images.zip [12:11] That at least will fix it. [12:11] HMM [12:11] cbz afaik is just a renamed zip [12:12] And by fix it, I mean, I will fix my burning intense hatred this morning. [12:13] Yes, CBZ is definitely just a zip, and .cbr is definitely just a .rar [12:13] But I want to write a script that says "DO IT to this" and it will do a bunch of things. [12:13] as in random.cbz becomes random_images.zip or 01_images.zip ? [12:13] Yeah, and give me a chance to rename, etc. [12:13] It's just smoothing things out for ingestion. [12:14] wait, so both? which should be the default? [12:14] Crime Must Pay 03.cbr crime_must_pay_the_penalty_038.cbz [12:14] root@teamarchive-0:/3/TORRENTS/ace/Crime must pay# ls [12:14] Crime Must Pay 10.cbr Crime_Must_Pay_the_Penalty_040__HP_.cbz [12:14] Crime_Must_Pay_The_Penalty_005.cbr Crime_Must_Pay_the_Penalty_041__Ontology_.cbr [12:14] Crime Must Pay the Penalty 018 (Ace - Feb 1951) (Team-DCP).cbr Crime Must Pay the Penalty! 045 (c2c) (ABPC) (Ace-1955).cbz [12:14] Crime_Must_Pay_the_Penalty_024__1952_02.Ace___Warden_Dregs_.cbr Crime_Must_Pay_The_Penalty_046.cbr [12:14] Crime_Must_Pay_The_Penalty_026.cbr Crime_Must_Pay_the_Penalty_36_ctc.cbz [12:14] Crime_Must_Pay_The_Penalty_027_Phabox.cbr [12:14] See, here's an example where it's just a big fucking mess. [12:14] This was all in a torrent. [12:14] ah that's fun [12:14] Well, I am working to have tools for myself that let me ingest at a fast rate. [12:15] I have scripts that will inject items right into archive.org. [12:15] Right now, I have 12 windows open (!) doing NOTHING but slamming Jamendo albums into archive. [12:17] hmm fuzzy rename. i've actually made the most basic oneliners to handle subtitles for shows. all the shows go to E01, E02, etc. then each subtitle file gets matched based on the number. [12:17] Right. [12:17] stuff like "Crime_Must_Pay_the_Penalty_024__1952_02.Ace___Warden_Dregs_.cbr" makes going off assumed numbers in the filename touugh [12:18] I think what pissed me off is that these abandonware guys are all "woah, should we let this bit of whippersnappers come in and take our french literature" and "What about all our hard work." [12:18] archive.org has TEN CENTERS open RIGHT NOW doing NOTHING but scanning in books, one every 90 seconds. [12:18] Like, RIGHT NOW. [12:18] I'd like to talk to an archive team member about writing a cool realtime tracker that shows the books coming online. [12:19] like they care more about the status/recognition than just getting the job done [12:19] Partly to bring attention to this. [12:19] that'd be neat [12:19] have a big red "on hold due to political issues" [12:20] Well, not THIS in terms of the abandonware bullshit. THIS in terms of "archive.org is bringing millions of books online for free" [12:20] oh. yeah. could hook up stuff like twitter too [12:20] live ticker of the progress [12:20] and have those scrolling ones in various offices to display the feed, all fancylike [12:21] Right. [12:23] Let me find the inspiration. [12:24] http://www.panic.com/blog/2010/03/the-panic-status-board/ [12:26] ahh yeah. that's pretty well designed [12:34] woah [12:34] one of my big splinder profiles finished [12:34] 1,699mb! [12:34] it was over 15gb uncompressed [12:35] I have 1 left now [12:37] that's some good compression [12:37] dnova: 7z? [12:37] gzip [12:38] my last profile is currently 24.2gb and still coming [12:38] uncompressed [12:38] ah wow [12:39] uploading the 1699mb one to batcave now. [12:39] arrith: I think they have *huge* blogs, I'm not really sure what the deal is [12:39] i.e., mostly text [12:39] there's definitely quite a bit of non-textual stuff in there [12:39] hmm [12:39] yeah but [12:39] for that compression ratio [12:40] a lot of it has got to be text [12:41] oh yeah definitely [12:41] i just like it when an arbitrarily large amount of stuff gets down to a few hundred megs [12:41] that's still very good [12:42] I hope the last one finishes very soon [12:45] fingers crossed [12:46] >5mbytes/sec to the batcave [13:22] crime_must_pay_the_penalty_038_images.zip crime_must_pay_the_penalty_27_images.zip [13:22] crime_must_pay_the_penalty_03_images.zip crime_must_pay_the_penalty_36_images.zip [13:22] crime_must_pay_the_penalty_05_images.zip crime_must_pay_the_penalty_40_images.zip [13:22] crime_must_pay_the_penalty_10_images.zip crime_must_pay_the_penalty_41_1954_11_images.zip [13:22] crime_must_pay_the_penalty_18_1951_02_images.zip crime_must_pay_the_penalty_45_1955_images.zip [13:22] crime_must_pay_the_penalty_24_1952_02_images.zip crime_must_pay_the_penalty_46_images.zip [13:22] crime_must_pay_the_penalty_26_images.zip [13:22] Tah dah. [13:28] gj [13:28] SketchCow: was that a one off thing or did you script it? [13:32] I spent some time with a script. [13:32] It's not perfect yet but it will now do a lot of the scuttle. [13:35] that's good [13:35] i'm curious what you meant by the script giving you an option to rename. as in what would trigger it to stop and ask that? [14:00] SketchCow: "a cool realtime tracker that shows the books coming online." sounds like fun. [14:00] Want in? [14:00] Yes. [14:00] I can provide a place for you to play. [14:20] SketchCow, we'd like to put up some OCR servers with ABBYY software for wikimedians, but there's some confusion about terms and rates: do you know who could we ask in the IA to know what sort of contract they have with ABBYY? [14:21] info@archive.org - say that I sent you. [14:22] I've never understood how that address works; queues seem to work, though. [14:22] How it works? [14:23] It's a group mailbox that goes to jeff and a few others. [14:23] oh [14:23] Last time I asked a non-technical question I didn't get any reply. [14:25] when i did, i didn't get a reply, but the issue was taken care of [14:33] I'm saying invoking my name will get it geared quicker. [15:05] http://www.archive.org/details/crime-must-pay-ace [15:05] The comics got in! [15:08] ok, thanks SketchCow [15:13] archive.org has "Comic Book ZIP" on its list of formats, dunno if it works properly though [15:16] also there is this http://www.archive.org/details/webcomicuniverse [15:18] Yes, my work is joining that. [15:19] I may just start pumping them right in. [15:22] so basically someone chants "SketchCow! SketchCow! SketchCow!" and you upload a magazine [15:32] Somewhat [15:44] OK, pumping the comics in now, they're all going in ace-comics [15:44] I'll probably move dotty up there too. [16:02] Also, blasting this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI96sEzusMA [16:02] Good thing I have no neighbors [18:49] so there was taht thing about wikipedia possibly shutting down for a couple days cuz of SOPA [18:49] they have a nice tarball for download and all that [18:50] is there an easy way to take that tarball and put it up on my server so i can use while that happens? [19:08] easiest solution is www.wikitaxi.org [19:09] i like aarddict [19:11] see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download#Dynamic_HTML_generation_from_a_local_XML_database_dump [19:41] Jesus dude, just go out for a fucking walk and watch some netflix while it's down [19:45] +1 [20:05] lol'd [20:43] 20:20:55 < Ire> If someone says "I love you" and you don't feel the same way, just say "I love YouTube" really fast. [20:47] That works [20:50] ha [20:51] Schbirid: thanks for helping my find aarddict [20:51] its not talked about on the wikipedia [21:02] I heard Wikipedia. [21:34] godane: sure! i had it on my openpandora once :) [21:36] lol, another OpenPandora guy here? :P [21:37] i sold mine for great benefit and i do not regret it much [21:37] sold it because it wasnt the right thing for me [21:37] no to make money (that was a nice side effect) [21:38] Schbirid: Mine's just gathering dust admittedly :/ [21:38] i bought a htc desire instead and it proved so much more worthwhile [21:38] hm, where is my post [21:39] I thought it was what I wanted and I ended up buying a netbook instead [21:39] http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/56305-half-assed-review-because-mine-is-at-ebay-now/ [21:40] Soviet calculator, lol [23:41] i downloading the audio version of floss weekly [23:42] the first 4 doesn't link anymore
