11:16 🔗 nitro2k01 ersi: They could be doing other evil stuff, say logging our nicks and spamming as us if we're away more than a month for example
11:16 🔗 ersi shaking in my boots
11:17 🔗 ersi Most AT channels are all logged and available online
11:52 🔗 nitro2k01 Not sure these are AT "approved" bots since they follow into other channels and use sneaky methods (different nicks that take turns in being in the channel)
11:53 🔗 nitro2k01 And they're in very random channels #OccupyIRC #titsorgtfo #cybersex #xxxpassworld #iphone #foundmy #BritishArmy #True-Blue

12:01 🔗 nitro2k01 Their lame is lame
12:02 🔗 TechDepot efnet is like those mfers only friends
12:02 🔗 TechDepot why spam it
12:54 🔗 Schbirid my "download 27000 comments from a facebook post" project is failing hard
12:54 🔗 Schbirid the first 3000 were easy
12:54 🔗 Schbirid but now
12:54 🔗 Schbirid the api gives be a 500 server error more often then not
12:55 🔗 Schbirid and doing it manually in a browser by clicking on more is slow and chromium is struggling at ~5500
12:59 🔗 Schbirid yeah, loading 50 more in the browser takes almost 1 minute and eats all cpu
12:59 🔗 Schbirid i guess i could somehow sniff the requests and stuff but meh
12:59 🔗 * Schbirid gives up
13:02 🔗 Nemo_bis ...
13:02 🔗 Nemo_bis Facebook archives are plainly horrible
16:46 🔗 willwill gowalla is closed
16:48 🔗 db48x hmm
16:48 🔗 db48x what was gowalla?
16:49 🔗 db48x lol: "Download your check-ins, photos and lists here soon."
16:55 🔗 db48x looks like hard drive prices are back down to about where they were 6 months ago
16:55 🔗 ersi wasn't that when it spiked?
16:55 🔗 balrog not quite, a 7k3000 is still $160
16:55 🔗 ersi so it's back to 400%?
16:56 🔗 balrog it's around 200%
16:59 🔗 db48x well, not quite all the way back, but still less than 200%
17:01 🔗 db48x I'm seeing the same prices as before, but for 5400rpm drives instead of 7200
17:49 🔗 eli http://i.qkme.me/36ckpl.jpg
17:49 🔗 Schbirid i just thought it might be a fun idea to have a blog where detailed "how to mirror/backup website X" writeups were posted
17:49 🔗 Schbirid for publicity and gathering interest
19:35 🔗 db48x Schbirid: that could be cool
21:47 🔗 chronomex db48x: gowalla was a competitor with foursquare
21:47 🔗 chronomex they were bought recently by facebook
21:50 🔗 db48x I see
21:51 🔗 db48x how much do you want to bet that no way to export becomes available?
21:52 🔗 chronomex do you think I'm an idiot?
21:53 🔗 db48x heh
21:54 🔗 db48x what I don't understand is why they shut it down
21:54 🔗 db48x if it's worth buying then it's worth running
21:56 🔗 chronomex probably bought it for the devs or designers who worked there
21:56 🔗 chronomex my money's on designers - it had a good reputation for being well done
21:56 🔗 db48x I suppose
21:56 🔗 db48x still doesn't explain why though
21:57 🔗 db48x they lose whatever goodwill they've built up by doing that
21:57 🔗 db48x I can see not selling the data to facebook
21:57 🔗 chronomex are you new to this game? facebook doesn't give a fuck. they saw that gowalla had some good employees, and the most expedient way to get them to work for facebook was to buy gowalla and shut it down.
21:58 🔗 db48x yes, obviously
21:58 🔗 db48x but why would those people agree to it?
21:58 🔗 chronomex $$$$$$$
21:58 🔗 db48x they can't have gotten that much
21:59 🔗 db48x they had investors to pay off, etc
21:59 🔗 chronomex being acquired still pays way beyond a normal signing bonus
22:00 🔗 db48x true enough
22:00 🔗 db48x I guess it just doesn't make any sense to me to shutter something you've worked hard on at the drop of a hat like that
22:00 🔗 chronomex $$$$$$$
22:01 🔗 chronomex that's SEVEN DOLLAR SIGNS.
22:01 🔗 Nemo_bis is it exponential?
22:02 🔗 db48x heh
22:02 🔗 db48x if you're worth that much money to someone, then you have power. you can easily require that your users not be screwed over by the deail
22:02 🔗 db48x deal
22:02 🔗 db48x leave the site up, maintain it but don't develop any new features
22:03 🔗 db48x give the existing users an easy way to move to facebook in a few months
22:04 🔗 db48x I dunno
22:05 🔗 db48x maybe they just didn't think to mention it
22:05 🔗 db48x or maybe they just didn't want to jinx it
22:51 🔗 ersi db48x: Yeah, it seems easy and all from the technical point of view - but you're missing politics, legal idiotic shit like ownership and all that in your equation
23:43 🔗 ianmcorvi My rsync to the memac batcave is failing with 'no space left on device' -- known problem, or something on my end?
23:44 🔗 DFJustin known
23:46 🔗 ianmcorvi cool, thanks; back to moving things to bigger drives so I can use bandwidth more efficiently then :D
