I'd like to free up some space on my VPS. At what point will it be "safe" to remove some splinder stuff and which bits exactly? |
00:07

I deleted all my splinder stuff a while ago |

(I ran out of quota last night when I started a dld-streamer to redo the things that had errors.) |

Also, what about rsyncing the accounts with special characters that uploading choked on? Do we have a procedure for that yet? |
00:08
🔗
|
dnova |
you can fix them manually |
00:08
🔗
|
dnova |
that's what I did |
00:09

Coderjoe |
i also fixed it, by taking out the backslashes that got added |
00:10
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
the problem for rsync isn't the special characters. it is that the step between finding profiles and feeding them to rsync loses the backslashes |
00:10
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
so the dir has backslashes and rsync is looking for a directory without backslashes |
00:14
🔗
|
Wyatt|Wor |
Aaah, I see. |

find -print0| xargs -0? |
00:20
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
the script is doing a find to get the profile dirs, then checking for .incomplete and some other things and then echos the acceptable profiles to rsync, which is getting a list of files from stdin |
00:20
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
and the backslashes are getting lost in that last echo |

the backslashes are not part of the actual profile name, but were added by the downloader script. |

whats xargs -0, infinite? |
00:38
🔗

bsmith093: null termination. |
00:39
🔗
|
Wyatt|Wor |
find -print0 outputs null-terminated; xargs -0 accepts null-terminated input. |

Oh, what's this? We have something for defeating Fanfiction.net? |
04:04
🔗
|
dnova |
defeating? |
04:07
🔗
|
Wyatt|Wor |
I would consider us doing our thing on a site with a draconian robots.txt and millions of users and their content is a "win". |
04:07
🔗
|
Wyatt|Wor |
So they will then have "lost" as they have been "defeated". Or something like that. |

dnova |
ehhh |

It's all bombast and metaphor because that's fun. At the end of the day, as long as we manage to rescue fanfiction.net from itself, we can consider it a job well-done, IMO. |
04:17

|
dnova |
fanfiction.net is not making any shutdown threats |

nor have they (as far as I know) been hostile to archival efforts |
