[01:38] hmm need an archive.org browser for .rar files [03:39] Just throwing the alert: LiveJournal seems to be deleting inactive accounts in 15 days [03:40] can't find any news about it [03:40] but if anyone here has an inactive LJ account, you'll have received an email about it [03:41] I know I have lots of friends with tons of very personal content on there from years ago [03:43] http://www.betabeat.com/2012/01/27/livejournal-delete-accounts-american-comeback-inactive-empty-livejournal-accounts-01272012/ [03:44] haha, just found that [03:45] they've done this before, or threatened to [03:45] can't tell if they've explicitly said they're going to delete actual posts [03:46] oh no, so is it already done? [03:46] lemme dig out the bookmarks of my friends' LJ's [03:48] yeah, iirc last time it was only empty accounts [03:48] oh good [03:48] well, my friend's LJ which has been dormant since 2007 is still there [03:49] http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Livejournal [03:50] oh, thanks [03:52] sometimes it's a little overwhelming the number of sites out there with really culturally valuable data on them [03:52] and waning popularity [03:54] and corporate owners who will silo the data away until the moment it's not a business propisition, and then sell the drives on ebay. [03:55] well yeah [03:55] no thought to its value at all [03:56] of course, it'd be dishonest to forget the users who just aren't interested in saving their own work [03:58] regardless of whether it's good or bad, the fact is people don't keep their facebook photos in a shoebox like they used to with physical ones [04:11] Well, gotta go now but I just wanted to raise the red flag. [04:56] LJ is only deleting empty accounts. [04:56] this time. [05:19] seems fair everyone does prunign at some point [05:19] *pruning [07:23] LJ's decision to delete inactive accounts is retarded and a security problem [07:24] because LJ is an OpenID provider [07:24] and they tie together OpenID identities to journal URIs [07:29] oh hrm... [07:29] I didn't think of that [07:30] they also let you pay to assume the name of a deleted name [07:41] chronomex: yeah, their username purging practices are really terrible [07:41] well [07:41] I'm not really sure why they do it anyway [07:41] they're bad in general, since people still act on the "handle -> person" idea [07:41] but they're really really bad when you combine them with OpenID [07:41] I don't know [07:41] maybe to free up popular names [08:16] Ìû [08:17] precisely [10:53] The wiki lacks an how to rescue CDs [10:54] learn, then share [10:57] * ersi shakes fist at optical media [11:22] * Nemo_bis now trying dares and dd [11:31] hard t believe how much crap dares produces [11:31] Nemo_bis: http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Category:Disk_imaging [11:31] i suggest you dcfldd [11:33] void_, wow, thanks [11:33] * Nemo_bis adds a link from the wiki [11:34] http://superuser.com/questions/365481/how-can-i-reliably-archive-the-content-of-udf-formatted-cds-and-dvds [11:35] read this too, i bookmarked some weeks ago [14:53] ^^ [16:17] googling archiveteam.org returns "This site may be compromised." ..what happened ? [17:15] alard, another wget-warc consuming GB of memory [17:15] I guess I just have to kill it and you don't need more logs? [17:16] P.S. the opening of this robots series is just flat out zombie movie. [17:41] Nemo_bis: are you using a version before or after http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/wget/trunk/revision/2580 [17:41] yipdw, before I guess [17:42] update your copy of wget to latest and see if it happens again [17:42] Such a relaxing language. [17:42] only wget? or do I have to rebuld wget-warc too? [17:43] use wget from its Bazaar repository [17:43] (wget and wget-warc are, at this point, the same tool) [17:43] there just hasn't yet been an official release of wget with the WARC code [17:45] ok, will do later, quite busy now [18:22] yipdw/Nemo_bis: Earlier today I updated the get-wget-warc.sh script in the mobileme repository. If you download and run that https://raw.github.com/ArchiveTeam/mobileme-grab/master/get-wget-warc.sh you'll get the latest trunk version of wget. [18:23] Also, I believe Coderjoe mentioned he had fixed even more wget memory errors. I'm not sure if he has made a patch for those fixes yet. [18:54] alard, oh, sweet, thanks [19:01] alard: cool [19:33] alard: is there a channel for the mobileme project? [19:35] balrog, #memac I think [19:35] balrog: #memac [19:35] Heh. [19:35] yeah I found it :p [20:26] Save MegaUpload? [20:27] unless you have ninjas to infiltrate the server farm [20:27] I read somewhere that they're going to start wiping data on Thursday. [20:29] or someone's run an OC-768 into the evidence locker [20:32] https://twitter.com/#!/textfiles/status/164056624296767488 [20:32] from the article it sounds like the hosting company doesn't know what the fed is talking about so who knows if they're really going to delete anything [20:33] s/fed is/feds are/ [20:38] rm -rf --gun doesn't require host cooperation [20:39] Well, I suppose that if ArchiveTeam is powerless, that's a good thing (media frinze and Jason Scott arrested by FBI). [20:40] NOT AGAIN [20:41] * SketchCow assumes the position [20:42] hm, tomorrow Splinder will go down [20:43] * ersi snores [20:44] zachera: Let us hear you detail a rescue plan [20:47] So as far as we know, we "pretty much" got all of Splinder. [20:47] well, sans their application servers fucking up, but there's not much that can be done there [20:47] Right [20:47] Sometimes the juice box gets a bit crushed [20:47] I've re-ran a few grabs multiple times and the noconns keep showing up [20:48] the stuff on batcave still needs to be error-checked though right [20:48] I'm not sure it's worth the time [20:49] I mean, say errors are found -- what can you do about it? [20:49] re-run a few hundred megabyte fetch? [20:49] I guess knowing which ones have errors is useful [20:50] I fully understand we've not gotten them all. [20:50] ooh, that reminds me, I need to finish Proust [20:50] And some are a little messed. [20:51] Many people didn't say they uploaded their stuff on the wiki [20:51] How many users are actually in batcave? [20:51] or GB [20:54] argh damnit, I need to stop doing this "lunch at 3 PM" shit [21:15] "For the time being: please ignore any errors caused by special characters in usernames (| ^ etc.), we'll get those profiles later." [21:15] you got them? [21:37] alard: i haven't found anything to fix. I discovered that your memory leak fix seemed to fix any leaks I had in recursive mode [22:22] alard, do we have those users mentioned by balrog_ph then? [22:23] Not that I know. [22:23] I've deleted mine btw [23:04] SketchCow: what cartridge? [23:04] syquest cartridge [23:13] hi. today, a once popular social networking site in the uk, bebo, was shut down without warning [23:21] Finished gregoryx - mar 31 gen 2012, 00.20.27, CET [23:21] Time elapsed: 881m 40s [23:35] Whoops [23:35] (Bebo
