01:19 πŸ”— Coderjoe http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/05/15/icloud_outage_and_new_features/
01:19 πŸ”— Coderjoe funny. there is speculation that icloud is going to gain some features that were in the old mobileme...
02:03 πŸ”— Coderjoe SketchCow: are the slides for the Hokum talk at ROFLcon available? popspot's version of your talk kinda suck, in that you can't really see the slides that well, if they show them at all
03:23 πŸ”— SketchCow Agreed
03:23 πŸ”— SketchCow Eventually
03:32 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T is the FortuneCity data being organized, etc?
03:40 πŸ”— SketchCow 3http://archive.org/details/archiveteam-splinder
03:46 πŸ”— SketchCow Downloaded: 149 files, 1.2T in 5d 11h 25m 27s (2.71 MB/s)
03:58 πŸ”— DFJustin Swizzle: noticed you've been busy over in classicpcgames :)
04:03 πŸ”— SketchCow https://twitter.com/#!/Angryrobotics/status/197027154352013313
04:04 πŸ”— shaqfu I give it a day before some balance-breaking exploit trivializes the game
04:07 πŸ”— SketchCow Absolutely
04:07 πŸ”— SketchCow AB SO LUTE LY
04:07 πŸ”— SketchCow Wait wait
04:07 πŸ”— SketchCow Writing it now.
04:07 πŸ”— SketchCow "Gamers up in arms about ____ bug in Diablo III"
04:13 πŸ”— shaqfu Usually not even a bug - it'll probably be some balance mismatch, given how late they were making core mechanical changes
04:54 πŸ”— SketchCow I am overseeing someone donating a 5TB archive of scanned images.
04:54 πŸ”— SketchCow (To Internet Archive)
04:55 πŸ”— SketchCow What are they? 220,000 comic books going back to the 1940s, his estimate is 85% of the entire US comic production
04:56 πŸ”— chronomex jesus
04:56 πŸ”— SketchCow Speaking of which... I think I'll start figuring out how to handle the IUMA archive.
04:58 πŸ”— shaqfu That's...impressive
04:59 πŸ”— LordNlptp holy f***ing s**t
04:59 πŸ”— LordNlptp that's a LOT of comics
04:59 πŸ”— LordNlptp what quality are the scans?
05:00 πŸ”— shaqfu LordNlptp: 22MB each comic, so, not awesome
05:01 πŸ”— shaqfu But still, god *damn*
05:03 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T arent most of those copyrighted still?
05:03 πŸ”— shaqfu All are
05:03 πŸ”— LordNlptp ALL of them are
05:03 πŸ”— LordNlptp copyright extends to however old steamboat willie is
05:04 πŸ”— LordNlptp and probably will continue to do so for the forseeable future
05:04 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T would be curious if they are all scans or digital copies
05:04 πŸ”— shaqfu Aren't comic digital copies just scans in a container?
05:05 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T within at least the last couple of years if not longer they have been producing ebooks
05:05 πŸ”— shaqfu Even if there are, it'll be a tiny part of the collection
05:06 πŸ”— balrog_ cbz is zip, cbr is rar
05:06 πŸ”— balrog_ don't use rar
05:08 πŸ”— shaqfu Well, +1 thing not to worry about losing in the future
05:30 πŸ”— SketchCow Yes.
05:31 πŸ”— SketchCow I'll give you people more update as I actually encounter the data.
05:41 πŸ”— SketchCow So, I'm speaking at a conference next week.
05:41 πŸ”— SketchCow In Michigan, along with showing some film at a library, etc.
05:41 πŸ”— SketchCow Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, MI
05:42 πŸ”— SketchCow If you're an archive team member, we should hang.
05:44 πŸ”— SketchCow See realtime coverage
05:44 πŸ”— SketchCow TIME
05:44 πŸ”— SketchCow Necrotizing Fasciitis
05:44 πŸ”— SketchCow TIME
05:44 πŸ”— SketchCow See realtime coverage
05:44 πŸ”— SketchCow Necrotizing Fasciitis
05:44 πŸ”— SketchCow Don't go there.
05:44 πŸ”— chronomex noted
05:46 πŸ”— Coderjoe mm
05:46 πŸ”— Coderjoe h
05:46 πŸ”— Coderjoe whenabouts? I might do the 2hr drive
05:53 πŸ”— Coderjoe peer does not kneel before Zod
07:04 πŸ”— SketchCow http://archive.org/details/acewiki-20120430-remote-media-1
07:08 πŸ”— SketchCow http://ia601203.us.archive.org/tarview.php?tar=/11/items/acewiki-20120430-remote-media-1/acewiki-20120430-remote-media-1.tar&file=wikipedia/commons/b/b9/Hmong_women_at_Coc_Ly_market,_Sapa,_Vietnam.jpg
07:09 πŸ”— SketchCow Fuck yeah
07:10 πŸ”— patrickg neat :)
07:12 πŸ”— SketchCow http://archive.org/download/acewiki-20120430-remote-media-1/acewiki-20120430-remote-media-1.tar/wikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fb%2Fb9%2FHmong_women_at_Coc_Ly_market%2C_Sapa%2C_Vietnam.jpg is the official one.
07:12 πŸ”— SketchCow But it renames itself.
07:17 πŸ”— DFJustin <LordNlptp> ALL of them are <-- untrue, many pre-1964 copyrights were not renewed and thus lapsed
07:18 πŸ”— DFJustin http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Copyright_How-To
07:20 πŸ”— chronomex ahhh, copyright
07:20 πŸ”— chronomex one of my favorite time-sucks
07:21 πŸ”— chronomex another is, of course, the particular brand of pseudoeconomics that hackers think they understand
07:25 πŸ”— SketchCow LET'S TALK ABOUT COPYRIGHT
07:25 πŸ”— SketchCow Meanwhile, someone 10x sped up JSMESS
07:25 πŸ”— SketchCow And possibly, depending on the new thing he did, sped it up as much as 15x
07:25 πŸ”— chronomex you want to talk about copyright? great, your congressman is right over there --> , he can actually do something about it
07:26 πŸ”— SketchCow As for the comics, we'll see what shows up.
07:26 πŸ”— SketchCow http://archive.org/details/2012-04-30-wikimedia-images-snapshot meanwhile, that sucker's gonna grow and grow.
07:26 πŸ”— SketchCow 1.3tb!
07:27 πŸ”— chronomex please continue to piss off the sysadmins
07:27 πŸ”— chronomex oh, you're splitting it into items
07:27 πŸ”— SketchCow Oh hell yeah.
07:27 πŸ”— SketchCow I mean, let's not be stupid.
07:28 πŸ”— chronomex in a perfect world, you could put that all in one item
07:28 πŸ”— SketchCow When I started, the general rule of thumb was don't make an item bigger than 5gb
07:28 πŸ”— SketchCow If you had to, 10gb
07:28 πŸ”— chronomex haaaa
07:28 πŸ”— chronomex symbian is 11G
07:28 πŸ”— SketchCow Now, Brewster likes 50gb as an upper limit
07:28 πŸ”— SketchCow Meanwhile, I've got items in there... 400gb
07:29 πŸ”— chronomex MIGHT AS WELL TRY
07:29 πŸ”— SketchCow It's like watching a tugboat in a canal when they have to shift things
07:29 πŸ”— SketchCow http://ia600609.us.archive.org/tarview.php?tar=/2/items/afwiktionary-20120430-local-media-1/afwiktionary-20120430-local-media-1.tar&file=wiktionary/af/0/01/fr%C3%83%C2%BChsommer.jpg
07:31 πŸ”— DFJustin FrühΓ…ΒΏommer?
07:31 πŸ”— chronomex or more like http://youtube.com/watch?v=oUcS5flqqR0
07:32 πŸ”— chronomex or, perhaps, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdNeaSgqcFg
07:34 πŸ”— chronomex crap, wrong link
07:35 πŸ”— chronomex http://youtube.com/watch?v=stDWNam7RtE
07:36 πŸ”— chronomex yeahhhhh that one
08:06 πŸ”— chronomex who was working on recovering corrupted gzip files a few months ago? Coderjoe ?
08:08 πŸ”— Coderjoe yes
08:08 πŸ”— Coderjoe unfortunately, all my code is on the drive that died
08:08 πŸ”— chronomex how ironic
08:09 πŸ”— Coderjoe I can rewrite it, but it will take a little time
08:09 πŸ”— Coderjoe I'd been meaning to do something like that anyway
08:09 πŸ”— chronomex aye. have you seen http://www.urbanophile.com/arenn/hacking/gzrt/gzrt.html ?
08:11 πŸ”— Coderjoe i had not.
08:11 πŸ”— Coderjoe i had written my own tools
08:15 πŸ”— Coderjoe hmm
08:15 πŸ”— Coderjoe that takes a higher level approach
08:17 πŸ”— Coderjoe my code didn't use zlib. instead, i wrote my own inflate code to check validity (though not output decompressed data, yet), and then added code to scan for a stored block, as it usually would be a good resync point, and luckilly has a reasonable signature
08:18 πŸ”— chronomex ahrm
08:19 πŸ”— Coderjoe that code just keeps retrying glib with an incrementing starting point until it can decompress again
08:19 πŸ”— Coderjoe er
08:19 πŸ”— Coderjoe zlib
08:20 πŸ”— Coderjoe mmm
08:20 πŸ”— Coderjoe // FIXME: errpos not correct
08:20 πŸ”— chronomex // FIXME: still broken yo
08:23 πŸ”— Coderjoe try { this->sleep(); }
08:24 πŸ”— chronomex that's a good idea
08:24 πŸ”— chronomex maybe I should
08:30 πŸ”— SketchCow I've begun the process of uploading IUMA material.
08:30 πŸ”— SketchCow First, everything not an MP3, into a big .tar file so you can download that and run tests without being choked by 800gb
09:27 πŸ”— SketchCow Now that I'm actually, you know, playing it... K.C. Munchkin is quite the shitty game.
09:27 πŸ”— SketchCow I move around, and go in a corner, go do some stuff, come back, nobody is paying attention.
09:29 πŸ”— DFJustin I rather like it, I'm not sure jsmess gives you the full experience yet since it's so much slower
09:30 πŸ”— DFJustin gameplay speeds up as you clear screens so it gets hectic pretty fast
09:30 πŸ”— DFJustin and you can't just reuse the same pattern like pac-man because the dots move
09:31 πŸ”— SketchCow I can't overstate how happy I am with this new optimization and watching people work over making it faster. It's an almost parental joy.
09:31 πŸ”— SketchCow And when this really hits the archive/preservation people, they're going to flip
09:34 πŸ”— SketchCow Hey look, it's the woman who saved Wikipedia
09:34 πŸ”— SketchCow http://ia600305.us.archive.org/tarview.php?tar=/31/items/arwikiquote-20120430-remote-media-1/arwikiquote-20120430-remote-media-1.tar&file=wikipedia/commons/0/03/Wikimedia_Foundation_Sue_Gardner_Red_BG_Sept_2010.jpg
09:35 πŸ”— DFJustin I actually grew up with an odyssey² as my first console as a kid so it has a special place in my heart
09:35 πŸ”— SketchCow Me, I never touched the thing.
09:35 πŸ”— SketchCow I have one now, but I have never turned it on.
09:37 πŸ”— DFJustin they made a sequel K.C.'s Krazy Chase which is less pac-man-like and is generally regarded as better, I haven't played it very much though since I didn't have a cart until recently
09:40 πŸ”— SketchCow Another one I knew of.
09:40 πŸ”— SketchCow But never really interacted with.
09:40 πŸ”— SketchCow Emulation is not great, but I think this will be a good gateway
09:41 πŸ”— SketchCow The people who complain about the whole idea will continue to complain.
09:45 πŸ”— SketchCow Did you see Ian Bogost's raster filter thing?
09:45 πŸ”— SketchCow Amazing.
09:45 πŸ”— SketchCow The people who complain complain about THAT as well, but what a brilliant approach.
09:46 πŸ”— SketchCow http://www.bogost.com/games/a_television_simulator.shtml
09:47 πŸ”— DFJustin no
09:47 πŸ”— DFJustin looks crap compared to what mooglyguy wrote for mess ;P
09:48 πŸ”— SketchCow When did he do it?
09:49 πŸ”— DFJustin may 2011
09:49 πŸ”— SketchCow And how is it activated?
09:49 πŸ”— SketchCow Because man, MESS needs a doc overhaul.
09:50 πŸ”— SketchCow I hope this brings the attention raining down on that side, where people want to "help" and a way to "help" is to go through the code and document like crazy
09:50 πŸ”— SketchCow Get that Wiki back up to puffy
09:56 πŸ”— DFJustin http://interbutt.com/postimages/dazzle_monarch.jpg
09:57 πŸ”— SketchCow Very nice!
09:57 πŸ”— SketchCow I wonder if the JSMESS actually can do this.
09:57 πŸ”— SketchCow Probably, huh.
09:57 πŸ”— DFJustin not currently
09:58 πŸ”— DFJustin and it actually won't unless someone rewrites it to GLSL, since it uses HLSL which is windows-only
10:00 πŸ”— DFJustin to use it you set hlsl_enable to 1 in mess.ini and then tweak a whole bunch of knobs, sample settings can be found at http://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=69832#Post69832
10:01 πŸ”— SketchCow I'm having this amazing thought.
10:01 πŸ”— SketchCow Which is that me interfacing at all with Mooglyguy over the conversion/modification of his code would be a really bad idea.
10:03 πŸ”— SketchCow So, is the MESS wiki just hoping to find some snapshots of the old wiki and replace them?
10:04 πŸ”— DFJustin basically; people have some pages rescued but I don't think all of them have gone up yet for whatever reason (probably time)
10:06 πŸ”— SketchCow OK, I'll hold off, plenty other stuff to do
10:06 πŸ”— ersi sigh, making a project wikipage is a pain in the butt
10:20 πŸ”— ersi Alright, created a very basic and super cruddy text of a new project - http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Resedagboken
10:21 πŸ”— ersi Let's get some more foreign archival action goin' again ^_^
10:30 πŸ”— SmileyG hmmm
10:30 πŸ”— SmileyG has anyone taken the macme script and made a "generic" script from it?
10:31 πŸ”— SmileyG or can that not work for some reason I'm not understanding?
10:31 πŸ”— SketchCow That's alard's baby
10:32 πŸ”— SketchCow http://archive.org/details/iuma-skeleton
10:32 πŸ”— SketchCow Wheeee
10:32 πŸ”— SketchCow It's now uploading the 9gb .tar
10:34 πŸ”— ersi SmileyG: How do you mean, "not work for some reason"?
10:34 πŸ”— ersi not work for what?
10:35 πŸ”— SmileyG for grabbing another site by simply keying in some random url...
10:35 πŸ”— ersi it got used for FortuneCity sort of as well
10:35 πŸ”— SmileyG ersi: yah, except I personally don't know how to modify it (tbh I've not looked at it) - wondering if its quite simple.
10:41 πŸ”— ersi i suggest looking at it, it's open and available :P
10:46 πŸ”— SketchCow http://archive.org/details/iuma-archive begins
10:50 πŸ”— SmileyG ok so seesaw seems pretty adaptable..
10:57 πŸ”— SketchCow http://archive.org/details/iuma-skeleton
11:27 πŸ”— underscor YES HELLO
11:28 πŸ”— underscor I HEAR MY ESCAPADES WERE BEING DISCUSSED i knew i forgot the nda OH WELL LIVE AND LEARN
11:31 πŸ”— underscor I have like 400GB of torrents from the global DHT
11:31 πŸ”— underscor it's quite insane
11:32 πŸ”— underscor I think we should back them up :D
11:32 πŸ”— underscor (they reference somewhere around 4PB of data)
11:32 πŸ”— underscor after deduping exact file names
11:34 πŸ”— SketchCow hhahahahaha
11:34 πŸ”— SketchCow Going to Brewster with "we need to backup 4pb of data"
11:34 πŸ”— SketchCow "Clear some room"
11:34 πŸ”— SketchCow rm -rf ia*
11:35 πŸ”— underscor hahaha
11:35 πŸ”— underscor I mean, it's a good reason to double our capacity!
11:40 πŸ”— underscor Sorry I've been absent, I've been really busy with women and getting laid^W^W^W^Wgraduation and final exams
11:42 πŸ”— * BlueMax wonders if underscor really could get laid
11:42 πŸ”— underscor only if I remember to bring the chloroform
11:44 πŸ”— ersi laiduation
11:44 πŸ”— underscor :D
11:44 πŸ”— underscor Prom was last friday too
11:45 πŸ”— underscor so I've been recovering all weekend
11:45 πŸ”— ersi Did you have any oral exams? >_>
11:45 πŸ”— underscor :D
11:45 πŸ”— underscor Not yet
11:45 πŸ”— underscor I have an oral for comparitive government though
11:47 πŸ”— SketchCow We no speak Huttese
11:47 πŸ”— SketchCow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KVzyOGCSao
11:47 πŸ”— SketchCow He's actually speaking in that made-up language from the series!
11:48 πŸ”— SketchCow And by speaking, I mean singing!
11:48 πŸ”— underscor hahaha
11:51 πŸ”— * SketchCow replaces underscor with Vader in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvafvTnji-Y&t=0m42s and makes a million dollars
11:52 πŸ”— underscor :D
12:15 πŸ”— SketchCow And now at 8am I'm searching for a plug.
12:26 πŸ”— underscor like, an outlet?
12:34 πŸ”— SketchCow No, the power supply for my m-audio fasttrack pro
12:52 πŸ”— SketchCow Someone has finally made a simulator of yahoo! infrastructure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueP-sPcgooI&t=0m55s
13:20 πŸ”— SmileyG lol
14:36 πŸ”— SketchCow Can't spend more time on it this second, but http://archive.org/details/iuma-thanks_mr_brown
14:52 πŸ”— chronomex and SketchCow continues to not sleep
14:52 πŸ”— chronomex amazing
16:04 πŸ”— balrog_ SketchCow: https://law.resource.org/pub/us/cfr/ needs to be mirrored
17:23 πŸ”— punkman getting an error when trying to create an account on the wiki
17:25 πŸ”— yipdw SmileyG: re: adaptation of seesaw -- probably not, unless you're crawling every page on every site, which is liable to get your crawler stuck or banned
17:25 πŸ”— yipdw the basic upload/download idea can be used on other projects, though
17:25 πŸ”— yipdw ffnet-grab does that
17:26 πŸ”— yipdw (except in Python, but whatever, same idea)
17:26 πŸ”— yipdw I guess if you switched from wget-warc to Heritrix, that might help
17:31 πŸ”— punkman I have a backup of Thingiverse.com here, comes in at 6gb zipped
17:31 πŸ”— ersi neat!
17:33 πŸ”— punkman made in late 2011, so now I'm gonna rewrite my script to handle the new layout and put in some logic for adding new stuff to the backup
17:34 πŸ”— punkman perhaps someone would like to join me in backing up all the 3d models out there
18:23 πŸ”— ersi Alright, time to ponder how to archive resedagboken.se I guess >_<
18:24 πŸ”— ersi http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Resedagboken if anyone's interested, I created a project page
18:59 πŸ”— DFJustin punkman: we did one http://archive.org/details/thingiverse-20110829
18:59 πŸ”— DFJustin having someone keep it up to date would be awesome though
19:00 πŸ”— willwill lightbox.com is shutting down on June 15 http://blog.lightbox.com/post/23107101360/lightbox-is-joining-facebook
19:00 πŸ”— punkman DFJustin: keeping it up to date was my original goal, as well as grabbing all the "bad" things that are eventually deleted
19:01 πŸ”— punkman I also have a list of similar websites that I'd like to add to my collection: http://punkmanufacturing.com/wiki/3d-design-libraries
19:04 πŸ”— DFJustin https://thepiratebay.se/browse/605
19:08 πŸ”— punkman DFJustin: does the backup on archive.org have metadata for each thing, or is it just the files?
19:10 πŸ”— punkman never mind, I see now
19:51 πŸ”— nitro2k03 Oh, angelic choir! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX1kHtztgkI
23:12 πŸ”— dashcloud Other people are catching onto the Flickr's gonna die idea: http://gizmodo.com/5910223/how-yahoo-killed-flickr-and-lost-the-internet
23:12 πŸ”— dashcloud Best quote from the article: If the Internet really were a series of tubes, Yahoo would be the leaking sewage pipe, covering everything it comes in contact with in watered-down shit.
23:13 πŸ”— chronomex delicious
23:13 πŸ”— chronomex errrr
23:13 πŸ”— chronomex yeah
23:13 πŸ”— chronomex that sounds del.icio.us.
23:14 πŸ”— dashcloud speaking of delicious, did you see their spam problem recently? People were ending up with spam links posted to their accounts: http://t.co/EMqHSA5B
23:15 πŸ”— chronomex yuuuup
23:15 πŸ”— chronomex the joys of federated auth
23:16 πŸ”— SketchCow the IUMA upload is going along well.
23:16 πŸ”— SketchCow Thousands of songs!
23:16 πŸ”— dashcloud woohoo!
23:16 πŸ”— chronomex song of songs
23:18 πŸ”— shaqfu When Flickr's death notice goes up, it'll be Armageddon. And AT will be as gods.
23:19 πŸ”— shaqfu (is FlickrFckr ready to fire, when it does?)
23:21 πŸ”— SketchCow Vaguely.
23:24 πŸ”— nitro2k01 http://www.flickr.com/photos/punimoe/
23:25 πŸ”— nitro2k01 736,024 items, say ~3 MB each. 2 TB of cosplay photos right there.
