Time Nickname Message
00:00 🔗 Aranje It's so much more polite when respectable organizations extend the middle finger. It's backed in politically correct prose and lawyers.
00:17 🔗 Coderjoe do these people think we somehow hacked into the servers and got files that were not already publicly accessable?
00:18 🔗 yipdw yes
00:18 🔗 Coderjoe probably
00:18 🔗 chronomex the world is full of people who don't understand things
00:18 🔗 chronomex let it be
00:32 🔗 primus_ mc
00:32 🔗 primus_ ups. sorry, wrong window
00:40 🔗 undersco2 I wish we could tell people like that to fuck off

02:30 🔗 SketchCow http://picplz.heroku.com/
02:31 🔗 SketchCow This is what the archiveteam warriors look like as they arrive at the picplz servers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvAG2D7SvCo&t=0m22s
02:34 🔗 SketchCow $1300 to a year of git-annex!
03:11 🔗 Coderjoe i just noticed that the game shows what the camera sees up by the score
03:14 🔗 SketchCow yes
03:14 🔗 closure_ SketchCow: btw, did you notice the Get Lamp shout out in my video? :)
03:14 🔗 SketchCow No. I'll look again.
03:14 🔗 closure_ heh
03:16 🔗 SketchCow Also: you should do an update now.
03:16 🔗 closure yes, coming soon
03:16 🔗 SketchCow Because 4 days is enough for people to spread the news.
03:17 🔗 closure I was hoping to have the first milestone usable, but the code's not quite there yet
03:17 🔗 SketchCow Do it right, not for show
03:18 🔗 SketchCow Also: Best pronounciation of Box ever
03:18 🔗 SketchCow I do not see the get lamp shoutout at all
03:18 🔗 closure I pronounced box?
03:18 🔗 closure well, the lamp's not golden :)
03:18 🔗 SketchCow I see.
03:19 🔗 SketchCow That's a shout out?
03:19 🔗 closure weak one :)
03:19 🔗 Coderjoe more like a nod?
03:19 🔗 closure yeah, nod
03:19 🔗 closure yeah, I'm doing it right: http://git-annex.branchable.com/design/assistant/blog/
03:19 🔗 closure freaking race conditions
03:19 🔗 SketchCow ha ha
03:19 🔗 SketchCow I was going to see about maybe swinging by next week
03:20 🔗 SketchCow Holy fuck, you are in a nowhere that makes nowhere go 'yeah, that's nowhere'
03:20 🔗 shaqfu Backed
03:20 🔗 closure what, you want the $1500 reward I chickened out of? Weekend at the offgrid cabin? :)
03:20 🔗 shaqfu Hurrah for clouds that don't suck
03:20 🔗 SketchCow Why chicken out?
03:20 🔗 closure well, chance of random psycho with $1500
03:21 🔗 closure I'd be glad to host you. Airport code TRI, then a 1.5 hour drive :P
03:21 🔗 undersco2 Damn, I'd pay $1500 for that
03:21 🔗 closure heh
03:21 🔗 undersco2 I love being nowhere <3
03:21 🔗 undersco2 I have a friend in the new mexico mountains
03:21 🔗 undersco2 nearest town is like 8 miles away
03:22 🔗 undersco2 it's AWESOME
03:22 🔗 undersco2 :D
03:22 🔗 Aranje I bet it's wonderful out there at night
03:22 🔗 closure that sounds nice.. while I do live in possibly the most remote (and certianly the most econonically depressed) county in Tennesse, it sometimes feels a little close to civilazation
03:22 🔗 closure Aranje: freaking east coast skyglow
03:22 🔗 Aranje :(
03:22 🔗 shaqfu Only ever met one person that went off the grid; she picked up one day, drove across the continent, did some archival research, then drove back
03:23 🔗 closure not as bad as some east coast, but I've seen real dark in Honduras, so I'm picky
03:23 🔗 shaqfu Which is the kind of crazy awesome shit you can only do off-grid
03:23 🔗 Aranje I like montana's dark
03:23 🔗 SketchCow Oh man, the Bronycon documentary is going to break $270k
03:23 🔗 closure on my todo list, for sure
03:24 🔗 closure <camgirl>thanks syhaqfu!</camgirl>
03:24 🔗 undersco2 Aranje: It's great :D
03:24 🔗 undersco2 He works at an observatory
03:24 🔗 Coderjoe never underestimate the POWER of the brony side
03:24 🔗 undersco2 I spent a week there
03:24 🔗 undersco2 It's great for, I dunno, centering yourself or something
03:24 🔗 Aranje Being a fire watcher in Montana is on my list of `summer jobs to do`
03:25 🔗 SketchCow Man, look at that awesome fire
03:25 🔗 closure for me it's great for concentration
03:25 🔗 shaqfu closure: Awesome, I got the super-secret "closure camgirl thanks in IRC" backer level :D
03:25 🔗 undersco2 Like, it's very humbling to see SO MANY stars and know you're the only human for tens of miles
03:25 🔗 Aranje Heh. And awesome.
03:25 🔗 Aranje Because you're made up of those stars :D
03:25 🔗 undersco2 :D
03:26 🔗 undersco2 We should have the archiveteam con in the middle of the nm mountains
03:26 🔗 undersco2 oh, also, get this.
03:26 🔗 undersco2 there's a major fiber conduit that runs right nearby
03:26 🔗 closure I'm going to a con next year in a Swiss Chalet :)
03:26 🔗 Aranje haha, middle of fuckall with 10gbe
03:26 🔗 Coderjoe yeah... that doesn't sound like the setup for some horror movie at all...
03:26 🔗 undersco2 so he gets 50/25 internet tapped off of it
03:26 🔗 undersco2 he could get a full gigabit, but it's like $200 a month
03:27 🔗 closure ok, I'm adding fiber backbone map to my househunting checklist
03:27 🔗 Aranje a little dribble he's got there, but it'll do
03:27 🔗 undersco2 and 50mbps is plenty to download enough porn to last you forever
03:27 🔗 Aranje I'd download old maps
03:27 🔗 Aranje Someday when I have money for more drives, I will be a source of old maps.
03:28 🔗 shaqfu Aranje: Do you physically collect?
03:28 🔗 Aranje I haven't found any yet, but I haven't looked hard. If given the opportunity the answer would be yes.
03:29 🔗 Aranje I've recently checked out the garage here at my house and found hundreds of very old books too. Fun times.
03:30 🔗 shaqfu Aranje: Either get them appraised or donate them out of the garage
03:30 🔗 undersco2 http://goo.gl/maps/Gdli just north of weed, nm
03:30 🔗 shaqfu Off-on-topic, I saw a conversation today that might pique #archiveteam
03:31 🔗 Aranje Unfortunately, I don't believe they're mine to give away. They're the landlords. His... aunt? died here 20 years ago and they chucked her shit in the garage and never looked at it again.
03:31 🔗 Aranje She has a fantastic collection of porcelain dolls as well
03:31 🔗 shaqfu Aranje: Tell him to do something with them. Sell them to dealers and get a few (thousand) bucks, or donate like a boss
03:32 🔗 shaqfu If I'm reading your hostmask right, OSU might be interested
03:32 🔗 Aranje Mmmk. I figured I'd get rid of (donate, what have you) the filthy romance and dirty old woman books, but there are a few here from the early 1800's I'd like to keep or scan.
03:32 🔗 Aranje haha it still says I'm in medford
03:32 🔗 shaqfu Hold up - the trashy fic is the *good* stuff
03:32 🔗 Aranje fucking charter
03:33 🔗 Aranje I'm in san luis obispo, ca
03:33 🔗 Aranje (cal poly is the local uni)
03:33 🔗 shaqfu Since it's underrepresented - nobody saved it, it's usually on shit paper, etc
03:33 🔗 Aranje huh.
03:33 🔗 Aranje I'll keep that in mind. They're all paperbacks
03:33 🔗 shaqfu Wait, from when?
03:34 🔗 Aranje some were ravaged years ago by bugs, but I've kept and cleaned the usable ones (pretty low bar for usable)
03:34 🔗 Aranje 30s-50s for trashy books
03:34 🔗 shaqfu Oh, hm. Not as exciting as I thought
03:34 🔗 Aranje dime and quarter books
03:34 🔗 shaqfu I thought you meant they were *all* 19th century
03:34 🔗 Aranje nah
03:34 🔗 Aranje just the fancy old ones
03:34 🔗 Aranje hardbound, those
03:35 🔗 Aranje pretty damn good condition. They're fiction books, the lot of them.
03:35 🔗 Aranje At some point I'll catalogue them all so I have a list to hand out
03:35 🔗 shaqfu Talk him into doing sometihng with them
03:36 🔗 shaqfu If only for "you'd clean out your garage" :)
03:36 🔗 Aranje Heh, it needs to be torn down
03:36 🔗 Aranje If somebody inspected it, I'm sure it would be labeled unsound
03:36 🔗 Aranje I could kick it over if I tried hard
03:36 🔗 Aranje It's just enough to keep the rain mostly off what's in there
03:39 🔗 * Coderjoe clears his throat
03:39 🔗 Coderjoe -bs
03:40 🔗 Aranje shaqfu, #archiveteam-bs :)
03:43 🔗 SketchCow YES PLEASE
03:44 🔗 shaqfu Anyway - are there any webcomic-archiving projects out there?
03:44 🔗 shaqfu I saw the question go out and the response was "no"
03:45 🔗 Coderjoe but indeed, donate. if IA got them, I would hope they would be treated a bit better than what I saw in that one news story
03:48 🔗 SketchCow So, since we got free artists for archiveteam brands/logos, and they're working on the stuff now, I think the Archive Team kickstart will be 100% for hard drives
03:50 🔗 closure excellent.. hmm, rewards..
03:51 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, going to think that over.
03:52 🔗 Coderjoe speaking of drives...
03:53 🔗 Coderjoe make any headway on that drive of friendster data? :D
03:54 🔗 shaqfu $1000+: Rent-an-archivist
03:54 🔗 Famicoman I would totally rock an internet archive shirt and/or stickers
03:54 🔗 closure who, me?
03:54 🔗 closure I still have it here in my git annex
03:55 🔗 Coderjoe no, SketchCow.
03:55 🔗 shaqfu Someone goes to your house, gets your shit in order
03:55 🔗 closure IA shirt is good
03:55 🔗 Coderjoe shaqfu: the opposite of one of those hoarder shows where they throw everything out?
03:56 🔗 shaqfu Coderjoe: The codeword for that is "aggressive appraisal" ;)
03:57 🔗 undersco2 hell, I'd do that for $100+
03:57 🔗 undersco2 I love cataloguing
04:07 🔗 Coderjoe ...
04:07 🔗 Coderjoe that bronycon doc total is without whatever has come in via paypal
04:08 🔗 undersco2 hahahaha
04:08 🔗 shaqfu Bronies are serious business, it seems
04:08 🔗 Coderjoe and the average pledge amount on kickstarter for that is $130
04:08 🔗 shaqfu Is that being pulled up by some insanely high amount?
04:09 🔗 Coderjoe woah
04:09 🔗 Coderjoe six backers at $10,000 or more
04:09 🔗 Coderjoe one at $5k
04:09 🔗 Coderjoe 11 at $3k
04:09 🔗 Coderjoe one at $2.5k
04:09 🔗 shaqfu Wonder if one is an aggregate donation, like the brony one for HIBs
04:10 🔗 Coderjoe 8 at $1k
04:10 🔗 shaqfu But it's still a fuckton of cash
04:11 🔗 Coderjoe 7+16 at $500, 231 at $250, 98 at $150, 94 at $100, 262 at $75, 189 at $50, 744 at $30, 292 at $10, 5 at $10
04:12 🔗 shaqfu The hell? Registration at the con itself is $65. Where the hell are bronies getting this kind of money?
04:12 🔗 undersco2 lol
04:16 🔗 chronomex saving up?
04:17 🔗 Zebranky Oh hi :D
04:17 🔗 Zebranky The doc broke 270k tonight counting PayPal
04:18 🔗 undersco2 Zebranky: Remind me again, are you director or con chair or something, right?
04:18 🔗 Zebranky Con chair, aye
04:18 🔗 Zebranky And consulting producer on the doc
04:18 🔗 undersco2 aha
04:18 🔗 Coderjoe so that's another $7k from paypal
04:20 🔗 chronomex Zebranky: ddg sends "bronycon" to http://www.bronycon.org/index.html
04:20 🔗 chronomex might want to redirect that properl
04:20 🔗 chronomex y
04:20 🔗 Zebranky Indeed
04:20 🔗 chronomex or not, whatever
04:21 🔗 Zebranky I'm a fair bit tipsy, so I don't want to deal with that shit just this moment, but either I'll get someone to tackle it tonight, or we'll do it tomorrow :D
04:21 🔗 Zebranky Thanks for the heads up
04:21 🔗 undersco2 Zebranky: Andrew Brockert?
04:21 🔗 Zebranky Aye
04:22 🔗 Coderjoe famenagged
04:22 🔗 Zebranky So hard.
04:22 🔗 undersco2 http://cincymugshots.com/inmate-permalink.php?jms=1446873 :D
04:22 🔗 Zebranky lolnope
04:22 🔗 undersco2 hahaha
04:22 🔗 undersco2 https://twitter.com/#!/lastzebranky more likely
04:22 🔗 Zebranky That'd be me
04:23 🔗 undersco2 cool
04:23 🔗 Zebranky https://twitter.com/#!/zebpony for the pony stuff
04:24 🔗 Zebranky <shaqfu> Bronies are serious business, it seems
04:24 🔗 Zebranky You have no idea.
04:24 🔗 Zebranky I mean, *Hasbro* is paying attention. Hasbro corporate.
04:28 🔗 chronomex < Zebranky> I'm a fair bit tipsy <-- what, you too?
04:28 🔗 Zebranky :D
04:32 🔗 undersco2 everybody's tipsy
04:32 🔗 undersco2 except me
04:32 🔗 undersco2 I should go get tipsy :O
04:33 🔗 Zebranky Still in Rochester or wherever?
04:34 🔗 Zebranky I'm going to be getting quite hammered with three of my senior staff in Albany tomorrow and Saturday nights
04:34 🔗 Zebranky We call ourselves the War Room
04:34 🔗 undersco2 I'm in DC
04:34 🔗 undersco2 well
04:34 🔗 undersco2 south of DC
04:34 🔗 undersco2 Rochester is in the fall :)
04:37 🔗 Zebranky Well, I'll be in the area for the foreseeable future
04:37 🔗 Zebranky Unless one of the $10k donors is Gabe Newell and he offers me a job at Valve, in which case, PEACE, HEADING FOR THE LEFT COAST
04:38 🔗 Zebranky (This is not entirely unrealistic. I'm told the first donor at that level is a software engineer from Seattle who wishes to remain anonymous.)
04:38 🔗 shaqfu A certain W. Gates III?
04:38 🔗 Coderjoe he's not a software engineer
04:38 🔗 shaqfu Used to be
04:39 🔗 Coderjoe hahah
04:39 🔗 chronomex Zebranky: move to seattle, best city.
04:39 🔗 Zebranky I've heard many good things.
04:39 🔗 Zebranky I do loves me some Boston.
04:39 🔗 Zebranky Think it'll always be my city.
04:39 🔗 Aranje I've only heard of the city's drinking tolerances
04:40 🔗 Aranje (seattle, that is)
04:40 🔗 undersco2 lol
04:40 🔗 Zebranky Boston has a significant Irish population.
04:47 🔗 chronomex woop woop woop off-topic siren
04:48 🔗 Zebranky Alcohol is always on topic.
04:48 🔗 chronomex only when you're drunk
04:48 🔗 chronomex and this is the internet, there are sober people online all the tmie
04:48 🔗 Zebranky The world needs more alcohol archivists.
04:48 🔗 chronomex ...
04:48 🔗 undersco2 lol
04:48 🔗 undersco2 I archive alcohol with my liver
04:49 🔗 chronomex s/archive/recycle/
04:49 🔗 shaqfu I've seen wine libraries; never archives, though
04:50 🔗 chronomex lending library?
04:51 🔗 Aranje I am intriqued, how would that work, exactly?
04:51 🔗 shaqfu I think it was just a library about wine
04:52 🔗 shaqfu The whole "exactly one use ever" thing makes it tricky
04:54 🔗 Coderjoe It could be like Kopi Luwak
04:55 🔗 undersco2 So if the internet archive had a large collection of music CDs that were going to be digitized, what cool things would you do with the results?
04:55 🔗 undersco2 BRAINSTORM TIME
04:55 🔗 chronomex like pandora but with weirder music
04:56 🔗 undersco2 yeah, that's one thought
04:56 🔗 shaqfu What kind of music?
04:56 🔗 shaqfu And how big?
04:56 🔗 undersco2 But there's all sorts of gross red tape involved because it's like "changing of media" and stuff
04:56 🔗 undersco2 Every genre imaginable
04:56 🔗 undersco2 >250,000 unique releases
04:56 🔗 shaqfu Pitch it as a stock library
04:57 🔗 undersco2 changing of format of media*
04:57 🔗 undersco2 stock library?
04:58 🔗 shaqfu undersco2: Music you can use for stuff when you need music, but don't care enough to buy rights
04:58 🔗 undersco2 We don't have the rights though
04:58 🔗 Coderjoe I refuse to believe the intergalactic criminal Zod uses mirc
04:58 🔗 undersco2 These are commercially pressed albums
04:58 🔗 shaqfu Oh :( Thought it might've been a big set of free/orphan works
04:58 🔗 undersco2 nope, sorry
04:59 🔗 Coderjoe undersco2: sound like a large dark blotch
04:59 🔗 shaqfu THen, uh, shop it around the DH community?
04:59 🔗 undersco2 DH?
04:59 🔗 undersco2 Coderjoe: I don't understand?
04:59 🔗 shaqfu Digital humanities
04:59 🔗 undersco2 oh
04:59 🔗 Coderjoe undersco2: a large swath of dark items
04:59 🔗 shaqfu I'm sure there's some history-of-music geek that'd want to number-crunch against a large set
05:00 🔗 undersco2 oh, yeah. they will be atm
05:00 🔗 undersco2 just trying to brainstorm of possible things to do with them
05:00 🔗 undersco2 (one of my lower priority projects)
05:00 🔗 shaqfu It sounds like your hands are bound by rights
05:01 🔗 undersco2 Yeah.
05:01 🔗 Coderjoe lefts
05:01 🔗 undersco2 But we could do something like openlibrary for audio
05:01 🔗 undersco2 Ensuring not more than one person has "checked out" the track at a time
05:01 🔗 undersco2 and as long as we maintain a physical copy, then it's purportedly okay
05:01 🔗 Coderjoe um...
05:02 🔗 Coderjoe yeah... you know full well that if it can be played, it can be copied
05:02 🔗 undersco2 (doing something nasty with DRM or something to "ensure" consistency)
05:02 🔗 undersco2 oh, yeah. no different than recording pandora though
05:03 🔗 undersco2 It just hass to be sufficient "drm" to make the RIAA satisified
05:03 🔗 undersco2 (unfortunately)
05:03 🔗 undersco2 I long for the day where we could just have these huge archives of older songs
05:03 🔗 Coderjoe nothing will ever satisfy them
05:03 🔗 undersco2 except all the money
05:03 🔗 Coderjoe except everyone giving them all their monies
05:05 🔗 chronomex nope
05:05 🔗 chronomex nothing redeems
05:05 🔗 Aranje After they get all the moneys, they would want more :|
05:06 🔗 undersco2 It's a totally broken system D:
05:06 🔗 undersco2 this is why I love bandcamp, et al though
05:07 🔗 undersco2 they're the beginning of the music revolution (tm)
05:07 🔗 Coderjoe must mirror remix.nin
05:07 🔗 Coderjoe no, not going away (that I am aware of)
05:39 🔗 SketchCow TODAY I LEARNED IF I PLUG IN TWO 3TB DRIVES INTO THIS SATA DOCK IT BLUESCREENS
05:39 🔗 SketchCow A fun lesson, useful to nobody
05:40 🔗 Moonlit I bet you won't be doing that again
05:40 🔗 Moonlit at least until next time, anyway
05:40 🔗 undersco2 most controllers/port expanders don't like 3tb drives
05:40 🔗 undersco2 two 3tb drives*
05:41 🔗 undersco2 I've seen that with a LOT of them
05:41 🔗 undersco2 :(
07:14 🔗 SmileyG bluescreen = windows?
07:14 🔗 * SmileyG likes centos pink screen
07:14 🔗 SmileyG its rather amusing to see that explode.
07:14 🔗 swhitt osx kernel panic in 7 languages is purty
07:15 🔗 Moonlit Windows 8 has an emoticon BSoD
07:15 🔗 joepie91 potentially useful: http://joepie91.cryto.net/trac/wiki/resolv
07:15 🔗 Moonlit sideways frown with a brief error message
07:17 🔗 swhitt do we think in future versions of warrior it would be possible to specify the number of workers?
07:17 🔗 swhitt I was able to run 8 copies of seesaw.sh on a big VPS
07:18 🔗 swhitt i guess if you want to do that you have to have the initiative to grab it by the balls and do it yourself
07:19 🔗 Moonlit couldn't you just bash out a script which takes a numeric input and spawn that many copies?
07:19 🔗 SmileyG i did that
07:19 🔗 SmileyG erm
07:19 🔗 swhitt that's what I did
07:19 🔗 SmileyG want to see if i can find it?
07:20 🔗 SmileyG for x in [1..$1] do; <spawn named screen sessions>; done
07:20 🔗 swhitt I had tmux tile it all out with nload in the bottom
07:20 🔗 swhitt BUT, what I'm saying, is that most of the time it seems like 2 workers inside a whole vm is not worth it
07:21 🔗 swhitt you have a whole OS for 2 measly workers that aren't even touching your total bandwidth
07:21 🔗 swhitt it'd be nice for warrior to ask how many you wanted when it started
07:22 🔗 Moonlit yeah, I guess
07:22 🔗 swhitt on a *nix it makes more sense to just grab the code and run it natively I guess
07:23 🔗 swhitt the VM does have the advantage of being foolproof
07:25 🔗 SketchCow 2 seems a good one to do while we work out bugs
07:25 🔗 SketchCow Warrior has only been in wide release a week.
07:25 🔗 SketchCow It's probably a good idea to, you know, see it in the field for a while.
07:27 🔗 SmileyG agreed
07:28 🔗 swhitt word
07:29 🔗 alard There's also a memory issue: the warrior takes 512 MB, I believe, so you can't run an infinite number of workers.
07:30 🔗 swhitt it'd be cool to be able to boot spot instances of ec2 using something like fog that ran this shit
07:31 🔗 swhitt they're at like 2.7cents/hr right noww
07:31 🔗 swhitt whoa the micros are at .6 cents/hr
07:32 🔗 SmileyG how about a boinc project o_O
07:32 🔗 swhitt $52/yr for a micro spot instance
07:32 🔗 chronomex but you could get bumped
07:33 🔗 swhitt it only happens a few times a month
07:33 🔗 swhitt boinc could be interesting, if you get academia support especially
07:33 🔗 SmileyG Need a willing student to do the coding ;D
07:33 🔗 swhitt SoC?
07:34 🔗 SmileyG Oooo maybe
07:34 🔗 chronomex summer of cider?
07:34 🔗 SmileyG :D
07:34 🔗 swhitt with the TR piece jason could probably get funding
07:34 🔗 SmileyG Does he need anymore stress?
07:34 🔗 swhitt or just use regular old archive.org funds
07:35 🔗 SketchCow I like how we went from something relatively free to something costing money.
07:35 🔗 SmileyG its a collection of scripts that any linux boincer could run
07:35 🔗 SketchCow Let's try to make it cost more money
07:35 🔗 SmileyG they love to have projects just for them
07:36 🔗 SmileyG SketchCow: lol yeah exactly
07:36 🔗 SmileyG boinc should be simple enough to do freely
07:36 🔗 SketchCow let's hire guys out of google and get a suite at a hotel to run the servers
07:36 🔗 * SmileyG might actually look into it today
07:36 🔗 SketchCow also, every time we download a user, we burn a dollar
07:36 🔗 SmileyG Is that factual cost?
07:36 🔗 SketchCow It'd be like chinese ghost/spirit money, but real money
07:36 🔗 SmileyG or just making a point?
07:37 🔗 chronomex but we have to put the ashes in a greeting card and mail them to someone
07:37 🔗 chronomex "Look, I spent money and now you get nothing!"
07:38 🔗 SmileyG YOUR DATA DID THIS!
07:38 🔗 SketchCow Let's mail them to the CEO who got fired from yahoo
07:38 🔗 SmileyG lol
07:38 🔗 chronomex yes!
07:39 🔗 swhitt hm
07:39 🔗 swhitt I guess I'm technically running my shit on non-free architecture
07:39 🔗 swhitt because we're just not using it right now
07:40 🔗 SmileyG http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/VboxApps
07:40 🔗 SmileyG DONE IT
07:40 🔗 SmileyG \o/
07:40 🔗 swhitt does it need to be headless?
07:40 🔗 SmileyG i'll figure a way to pass the command to it.
07:41 🔗 swhitt does boinc set env vars somewhere?
07:41 🔗 Coderjoe swhitt: sure, the instance itself may be cheap, but you forgot the bandwidth cost
07:41 🔗 swhitt Coderjoe: we just need 100 newbs with free micro instances
07:41 🔗 Coderjoe then why are you talking spot instances?
07:41 🔗 Coderjoe and you only get so much bandwidth in the free tier
07:42 🔗 swhitt how dare you poke holes in my postulating!
07:42 🔗 SketchCow swhitt's idea is unworkable, but it's always good to have people brainstorm
07:42 🔗 SketchCow OK, bed, busy day tomorrow
07:42 🔗 swhitt :)
07:43 🔗 SmileyG hehe
07:43 🔗 SmileyG however boinc seems very very possible if I just think about this today while I should be working
07:43 🔗 SmileyG Need to modify the startup script for the warrior, but... (is the code for that somewhere, am I ok to *play* with the vm-image?
07:44 🔗 swhitt boot.sh in warrior-code?
07:44 🔗 swhitt I guess you want the tool that made the ova
07:44 🔗 SmileyG and I presume your using mingetty with autologin or something funky like that.
07:44 🔗 SketchCow I just wonder why, when our servers already rape a service pretty soundly, why you'd want it to extend up to mega-ultra-rape
07:45 🔗 SmileyG SketchCow: you inspire us to FUC KSHI T U P
07:45 🔗 swhitt does heroku hate archiveteam?
07:45 🔗 SketchCow Because with the exception of something like myspace or flickr, we'll demolish most services.
07:45 🔗 SmileyG o_O spaces.
07:45 🔗 swhitt I'd bet heroku doesn't like us
07:45 🔗 SketchCow Heroku likes us.
07:45 🔗 SmileyG SketchCow: new age of slashdot effect?
07:45 🔗 SmileyG Where as slashdot effect kills stuff, we are saving it for everyone?
07:45 🔗 swhitt are we paying for heroku?
07:45 🔗 SketchCow I'm just saying, I think you need to go after other things.
07:45 🔗 SketchCow Better uses of your time.
07:46 🔗 SmileyG I'm at work
07:46 🔗 SmileyG I should be working in 10 minutes
07:46 🔗 SketchCow Than turning the warriors into a massive bandwidth-plugging please-look-at-us flare parade
07:46 🔗 SmileyG That'd be a far better use of my time :D
07:46 🔗 SketchCow Well, that's true
07:46 🔗 SmileyG But.... this is *fun* and I might actually be able to do it
07:46 🔗 SketchCow That jizz isn't going to mop itself
07:46 🔗 swhitt whoa I should not leave my linode vps running the mobileme seesaw
07:47 🔗 SmileyG swhitt: lol i accidently left my work system running warrior ¬_¬
07:47 🔗 swhitt it's DESTROYING bandwidth
07:47 🔗 SmileyG fortunately due to me being one of the only two IT people
07:47 🔗 SmileyG I can go "oh erm backups?"
07:50 🔗 swhitt is picplz going to start up again?
07:50 🔗 swhitt or is it finished?
07:51 🔗 alard New thought (maybe we should put the warrior ideas on the wiki?): if you're looking at improving the warrior I think it would be good to make Python version of seesaw.
07:52 🔗 alard Make it so that it manages one or more dld-* scripts, captures the output, make it modular enough so you can use it from within Python.
07:53 🔗 swhitt seesasw is just a shell script now
07:53 🔗 swhitt why not ruby!?
07:53 🔗 SmileyG no one actually knows ruby?
07:53 🔗 swhitt I grok ruby
07:53 🔗 alard Ruby is cool.
07:54 🔗 alard But python is everywhere.
07:54 🔗 SmileyG So are dogs.
07:54 🔗 alard So in the interest of not forcing everyone to install Ruby, scripts like these are best done in Python, I think.
07:55 🔗 alard (I originally wrote a Bash seesaw because I then thought that bash + these utilities were everywhere, but it turns out everyone has a slightly different bash.)
07:55 🔗 swhitt don't most systems have ruby now?
07:55 🔗 SmileyG hmmm I don't :P
07:55 🔗 swhitt and python is changing every point release
07:56 🔗 swhitt warrior crashes in my 2004 macbook pro
07:56 🔗 swhitt inside of virtual box, every time
07:57 🔗 alard From the little that I have seen so far, the different Pythons are at least reasonably predictable.
07:58 🔗 swhitt ruby 1.8.x is pretty much homogenous
07:58 🔗 swhitt as is 1.9.x
07:59 🔗 swhitt have we approached services like picplz to ask them to give us the data in nice formats?
08:00 🔗 swhitt instead of raping their bandwidth
08:00 🔗 Coderjoe bleh
08:00 🔗 Coderjoe i don't feel like learning ruby just to contribute
08:00 🔗 alard swhitt: (I probably shouldn't continue.) Look, I don't say that Ruby isn't predictable or homogenous. I prefer Ruby to Python, I use Ruby whenever I can, but I think have the impression that Python is pre-installed on more machines. That is worth something for making these scripts.
08:00 🔗 Coderjoe and i don't have ruby installed, afaik
08:01 🔗 swhitt alard: understood; I think most modern distros / os x have it installed by default now
08:01 🔗 swhitt but if you're on an older system I get it
08:01 🔗 alard When it comes to having people install things, I'd rather have then install wget-warc (+lua).
08:01 🔗 swhitt lua is much more obscure than ruby...
08:02 🔗 Coderjoe bash: ruby: command not found
08:02 🔗 Coderjoe ruby
08:02 🔗 Coderjoe this system being only a few months old
08:02 🔗 swhitt Coderjoe: what distro?
08:02 🔗 Coderjoe debian, and i skipped tasksel
08:03 🔗 alard swhitt: Agreed, you can however include Lua in Wget, so you can write scripts like these: https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/picplz-grab/blob/master/picplz-user.lua
08:03 🔗 Coderjoe alard: any idea why wget would be passing a nil file pointer?
08:03 🔗 swhitt yeah, that is nice
08:03 🔗 Coderjoe (a few people reported such a couple days ago)
08:04 🔗 swhitt if you have a warrior OTA then it doesn't matter
08:04 🔗 swhitt because it can have any shit you want in it
08:04 🔗 alard To Lua? Well, it's not very stable and robust yet. Sometimes Wget says 'Can't write the file', but then it still gives the filename to the wget.callbacks.get_urls Lua method, which tries to open the file.
08:05 🔗 alard (It's passing file names, not pointers, so it gives the name of a file that wasn't actually written.)
08:05 🔗 swhitt damn this mobileme backup is insanely sized
08:05 🔗 swhitt ~300 terabytes!?
08:06 🔗 alard You can also get a Wget to segfault if you return the wrong shape of url list.
08:06 🔗 swhitt why wouldn't apple let us bring ~200 drives to their DCs and copy it right off?
08:07 🔗 swhitt instead of raping them for 25 megabytes per second for months
08:08 🔗 Coderjoe because it's akamai?
08:08 🔗 Coderjoe and are you smoking something?
08:08 🔗 swhitt no...
08:09 🔗 swhitt I guess I just don't understand why they wouldn't let us come plug in instead of hitting them via http for months
08:09 🔗 swhitt akamai isn't free
08:09 🔗 Coderjoe i can't recall a single time a closing site has handed over data willingly
08:09 🔗 Coderjoe one was even playing whac-a-mole
08:09 🔗 swhitt do we know what the reason is behind those actions though?
08:10 🔗 alard Privacy, for one thing? ("Hello user, we've given a copy of all your data to this obscure group, hope you don't mind.")
08:10 🔗 swhitt electronic archiving has merit, all the way up to the national archives
08:10 🔗 swhitt I'd have thought if the govt thought it was somewhat important then private companies would think so too
08:10 🔗 swhitt or I'm just being naive
08:10 🔗 Coderjoe companies are loyal to one thing: money
08:11 🔗 swhitt but isn't it more expensive to pay for bandwidth costs of us essentially ddosing them for months than just giving us filled harddrives?
08:11 🔗 Coderjoe if it makes money, how can we get it to make more?
08:11 🔗 Coderjoe if it isn't making money, can we dump it?
08:12 🔗 alard Let me interrupt for a moment to paste the rest of my earlier argument: a Python seesaw module would be the way forward I think. It makes it easier to script, so on top of that seesaw module you could build a seesaw manager. This would make it possible to scale the number of workers up and down while the thing is running, for instance.
08:12 🔗 alard Plus (I don't know who said that, was it you, Coderjoe, or closure/chronomex?) a seesaw manager would be able to bundle uploads and throttle the upload bandwidth better.
08:12 🔗 alard That is useful if you want to make a 'auto-warrior', where you run the thing and let AT decide which project should be run at the moment. The seesaw module would also allow us to make, say, a web interface that you can use to configure your warrior.
08:12 🔗 alard (So, that's in the log.)
08:13 🔗 Coderjoe i suggested it
08:13 🔗 swhitt I find it hard to believe (perhaps naively) that major corps like IBM wouldn't like the PR of handing over data to be archived when they shut shit down
08:13 🔗 swhitt is it because we get it from the publicly-accessible web interface that they think it's cool?
08:15 🔗 swhitt I'm truly not trying to debate - I was just wondering how thoroughly these avenues have been explored
08:15 🔗 Coderjoe <@SketchCow> I herewith ask you to completely remove alle files, datas, photos, tabblos, texts etc. of tabblo user moorlerche from your website as well as your offline servers and back-ups:
08:15 🔗 Coderjoe <@SketchCow> When I call up my user name 83 files are shown and moreover downloadable by whoever clicks on download zip.files. This is not in my interest and does violate the author's right after European legislation, which was part of the user contract with Hewlett Packard.
08:15 🔗 Coderjoe that is why
08:16 🔗 swhitt That's a paste from a user email?
08:16 🔗 Coderjoe it would largely result in negative pr from a privacy perspective
08:16 🔗 alard Coderjoe: Ah, so it was you. So making a python seesaw would be really useful, I think, especially if it would be flexible enough to build on.
08:16 🔗 Coderjoe yes
08:16 🔗 swhitt hm
08:17 🔗 swhitt this makes me think
08:17 🔗 swhitt do you think that all publically available data on facebook should be forever available to anyone?
08:17 🔗 Coderjoe good lord the dashboard is taking forever to load
08:17 🔗 swhitt yeah, the first script takes like 15+ seconds
08:18 🔗 Coderjoe it's been a minute
08:18 🔗 swhitt memac or picplz?
08:18 🔗 SmileyG handing over _user_ data willing, or just data?
08:18 🔗 Coderjoe picplz
08:19 🔗 swhitt SmileyG: well, that email was referencing user data
08:19 🔗 SmileyG yah
08:19 🔗 SmileyG I think companies fear inciting wrath if they hand over anything user related
08:19 🔗 Schbirid how will that tabblo removal request be handled? new tarball without that data?
08:19 🔗 swhitt I honestly don't know
08:19 🔗 SmileyG Do IA care?
08:20 🔗 swhitt if I had a tarball with all of facebook's current users' data and their public photos people would be pissed
08:20 🔗 SmileyG The internet doesn't forget.
08:20 🔗 Coderjoe that user's data will probably be moved to a dark item
08:20 🔗 SmileyG swhitt: theres a dating site with exactly that
08:20 🔗 SmileyG well, photos....
08:20 🔗 SmileyG :D
08:20 🔗 SmileyG it uses them on the dating site.
08:20 🔗 swhitt SmileyG: I know that shit like that exists and people HATE it
08:20 🔗 SmileyG http://digitallife.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/30/11471856-moms-facebook-photo-pops-up-on-porn-dating-sites?lite << lol
08:20 🔗 swhitt whenever anyone discovers that their data (by default) on facebook is publically availbe they freak
08:21 🔗 SmileyG swhitt: but is it illegal?
08:21 🔗 Schbirid SmileyG: do you have any idea about copyright and such?
08:21 🔗 swhitt I'm not sure if it's illegal
08:21 🔗 swhitt I'm not sure if it's moral
08:21 🔗 swhitt I honestly don't really know
08:21 🔗 SmileyG yeah
08:22 🔗 SmileyG Schbirid: copyright is with the holder of the camera at hte time of takign the image
08:22 🔗 SmileyG unless otherwise handed to another enity.
08:22 🔗 swhitt The internet and social media make all of this shit pretty ambiguous
08:22 🔗 SmileyG Schbirid: If your not claiming to own the image, theres no legal recourse afaik.
08:22 🔗 swhitt what if the ToS of FaceSpace says that if you upload images, copyright transfers to them?
08:22 🔗 SmileyG swhitt: and you agree? Then you've agreed.
08:23 🔗 swhitt who reads clickthrough ToS'?
08:23 🔗 SmileyG Not the discussion :)
08:23 🔗 Coderjoe SmileyG: there is usually a license grant as part of uploading said picture to a site, though
08:23 🔗 SmileyG Coderjoe: yup.
08:23 🔗 SmileyG ...
08:23 🔗 SmileyG So, Person X whos complaining, likely doesn't even OWN their own photo anymore
08:23 🔗 swhitt I bet 99.9% of facebook users have not read the ToS
08:23 🔗 Schbirid dude, shut up and come back when you educated yourself
08:23 🔗 SmileyG swhitt: Agree.
08:23 🔗 SmileyG Schbirid: sorry?
08:24 🔗 SmileyG Point out where I'm wrong?
08:24 🔗 Coderjoe not copyright as a whole, but a license to distribute the image as part of displaying the page
08:24 🔗 swhitt so is it legal or even moral for us to copy and distribute the data of a user if they ask us not to?
08:24 🔗 SmileyG swhitt: I don't know either.
08:24 🔗 Schbirid if a ToS grants a license to a site to display an image, that has nothing to do with the ownership or control of rights
08:24 🔗 SmileyG Schbirid: right.
08:24 🔗 SmileyG [09:23:43] < swhitt> what if the ToS of FaceSpace says that if you upload images, copyright transfers to them?
08:24 🔗 swhitt SmileyG: that's what I was getting at
08:24 🔗 SmileyG Thats _NOT_ what he said though.
08:24 🔗 Schbirid swhitt: no, it is not legal unless their data was released under a free license
08:25 🔗 Coderjoe Schbirid: i know that
08:25 🔗 swhitt Schbirid: but what if that's part of the facebook ToS?
08:25 🔗 swhitt uploading images implies that you own them and you're giving facebook unlimited license to them
08:25 🔗 swhitt or transferring copyright to them
08:25 🔗 Schbirid what if what if, transfer of copyright is not part of any reasonable tos
08:25 🔗 swhitt have any courts addressed that?
08:26 🔗 swhitt I honestly have no idea
08:26 🔗 Schbirid read the tos and checked what actually is written in them
08:26 🔗 swhitt to me, as a layperson, this shit is morally ambiguous
08:26 🔗 SmileyG Schbirid: legal presidence?
08:26 🔗 SmileyG swhitt: Me too. However discussion is good on any level
08:27 🔗 alard Hey guys, I don't know because I'm not on that channel, but would this qualify for #archiveteam-bs? This is becoming a very long discussion.
08:27 🔗 SmileyG Yeah, Moving.
08:27 🔗 Coderjoe typically "by uploading this photo, you grant $site a non-exclusive license to redistribute the photo" (possibly with "in perpetuity" or something like "until you revoke such license")
08:27 🔗 Schbirid i dont agree, this matter is very much about archiveteam and legislation
08:28 🔗 Coderjoe it does belong in -bs
08:28 🔗 swhitt my fault
08:28 🔗 swhitt sorry for starting it here, moving
08:28 🔗 Coderjoe AT's general philosophy is "grab now, worry about legality later"
08:28 🔗 Schbirid what is the purpose of this channel then?
08:28 🔗 Schbirid why not worry here :(
08:28 🔗 Coderjoe because once the house is burned down, the discussion is over
08:29 🔗 Coderjoe and the legal questions come up again every few weeks
08:29 🔗 Schbirid ah, ok
09:25 🔗 Schbirid looks like this morning the ovh server giveaway took over an hour to complete
13:56 🔗 godane i'm archiving G4 E3 videos
13:56 🔗 godane i also have some full months of x-play now
14:31 🔗 brayden Don't know why you'd bother with X-Play. I watched that show a few years ago and it was pretty bad.
14:31 🔗 brayden Wasn't helped that on subscription TV here, in Australia, it was a few weeks late so a lot of the industry news and stuff was irrelevant.
14:31 🔗 brayden Fortunately a local show replaced it, on a non subscription TV channel :D
14:33 🔗 ersi Well, different people have different tastes and it might have some relevance to someone in the future. It's not relevant to judge what's being saved, it's being saved (In my opinion).
14:33 🔗 brayden Yeah I guess. But damn what a waste of space :P
14:34 🔗 ersi Meh.
14:34 🔗 brayden Granted this is coming from a person who persistently records endless hours of political crap on TV even though said political crap is available online (albeit in a really low resolution format) from the broadcaster.
14:35 🔗 ersi Yeah, I do understand the humour and sarcasm :p
14:37 🔗 Angantyr brayden must be moxtv :)
14:37 🔗 brayden lol
14:37 🔗 brayden I do actually get Fox News live here. I just need to figure out how to wire up the Foxtel box to the computer
14:38 🔗 brayden thing is it might cause issues if someone actually wants to watch the subscription service that costs $100/month
14:38 🔗 yipdw eh, you never know when something might become interesting and yet be ephemeral -- here in Chicago, a radio station was using an ad campaign featuring images of the former governor Rod Blagojevich, and they had to cover his face with a smiley face because said governor felt insulted
14:38 🔗 yipdw I have no images of the pre-smiley face ads
14:38 🔗 yipdw and I wish I did
14:39 🔗 brayden lol
14:39 🔗 brayden I have endless hours of digital radio too. A lot of it with presenters stuffing up
14:39 🔗 brayden One had a particularly bad day because he was moved to a new studio
14:39 🔗 SmileyG A politican whos name begins "Blago" ?
14:39 🔗 yipdw yes
14:39 🔗 SmileyG :D
14:39 🔗 yipdw Rod Blagojevich, former governor of Illinois
14:39 🔗 yipdw and all-around asshole
14:40 🔗 SmileyG lloll
14:41 🔗 brayden lol
14:42 🔗 brayden oh looks like he got screwed
14:57 🔗 ersi Oh my, things really get out of hand here lately. Please (Nice word, not angry word) use #archiveteam-bs for "off-topic" discussions/conversations. ie. things not related to the actual act of archiving/getting/grabbing/rounding up items into a collection or so

15:00 🔗 brayden oh damnit we're doing it again
15:00 🔗 SmileyG Does IA have a games archive thing?
15:01 🔗 ersi I've seen SketchCow in IA and tons of games. So I think so.

15:28 🔗 Schbirid new fileplanet (#fireplanet) statistics: 76k files downloaded, 3.2 Terabytes
15:28 🔗 SketchCo1 Yes, it has an archive.
15:31 🔗 SketchCo1 You now what I love waking up to?
15:31 🔗 brayden A letter from a lawyer saying you're getting sued for billions of dollars?
15:31 🔗 Schbirid 37k IDs left to try
15:31 🔗 SketchCo1 I love waking up to someone badgering my most productive applications coder with endless "do it completely different and I question every choice you've made" messages, making him justify over and over all his excellent choices.

15:31 🔗 SketchCo1 Can I get ops, please?
15:32 🔗 brayden He's not the real SketchCow!
15:33 🔗 SketchCow I'm as real as fuck.

15:34 🔗 brayden nice
15:34 🔗 SketchCow http://archive.org/details/tv enjoy
15:36 🔗 DoubleJ Jeezus. That syntax took far too long to google.
15:36 🔗 SketchCow Thanks.
15:37 🔗 ersi One does not simply ghost SketchCow
15:37 🔗 ersi into #archiveteam
15:37 🔗 DoubleJ No prob. I just wish the commands/parameter order were a bit easier to remember.
15:38 🔗 ersi Hm? /op <nickname> works in most clients. Very standard alias :)
15:38 🔗 DoubleJ Ya wanna know where I found that on Google? Nowhere.
15:39 🔗 ersi You went "/mode #archiveteam +o <nickname>"?
15:39 🔗 DoubleJ But saying "/mode Sketchcow +o" makes a very unhelpful error message.
15:39 🔗 DoubleJ Eventually, yes.
15:39 🔗 ersi indeed. Good stuff.
15:40 🔗 DoubleJ It's like trying to remember a funciton name in PHP. doThis? do_this? dothis? doth?
15:40 🔗 DoubleJ function, even.
15:41 🔗 DoubleJ Oops. Too many uparrows.
15:41 🔗 DoubleJ I think I'm going to wander off and do not-typy things for a while.
15:43 🔗 brayden lol
15:43 🔗 brayden use something like phpstorm then. it has autocomplete for most functions builtin to PHP
15:47 🔗 SketchCow Anyway, as if I need to continue this overnight conversation, python is the way to go.
15:47 🔗 SketchCow lua is an unfortunately more obscure thing, but the framework can do other things in the future.
15:49 🔗 brayden I've used Lua in the past and it is very easy to learn!
15:49 🔗 ersi Oh wow, this #-bs thing is getting complicated
15:49 🔗 brayden lol
15:50 🔗 Aranje It exists, so now there are edge cases
15:50 🔗 SketchCow What, you mean what stays and gos?
15:50 🔗 ersi A lot of edge cases
15:51 🔗 SketchCow I agree, it's here and there, but as annoying as it is to have to justify base premises, justifying base premises helps think through things we might have just lunged at because we were under a time crunch.
15:51 🔗 SketchCow I wouldn't call where we are a "lull", but we're not in full-on crazy mode.
15:51 🔗 ersi Yarr
15:52 🔗 SketchCow I do think shwitt got a little reductionist there.
15:52 🔗 SketchCow With bonus morality discussion, which is pretty dull and probably should have been quelled.
15:52 🔗 ersi It was, it continued in #archiveteam-bs for three ages
15:53 🔗 SketchCow Did it?
15:53 🔗 ersi Yepp
15:53 🔗 ersi and it's a-ok for #-bs talk, even if it's (IMO) a bit dull
15:54 🔗 SketchCow It's not dissimilar to when people would show up with Windows XP and huge smiles wanting to "help"
15:55 🔗 SketchCow Without understanding that, like Mastiffs, bringing Windows into the room rarely "helps"
15:55 🔗 SketchCow We have since fixed that with this ArchiveTeam Warrior project, which has made Mac, Linux and Windows boxes all run homogenous, dependable downloaders with PRECISE tracking of downloading.
15:56 🔗 ersi also, WARCs
15:56 🔗 SketchCow And as the full-scale assaults on Tabblo and Picplz showed, they're very effective, and the resulting files are very complete and dependable. Even if something goes wrong, they all go wrong the same way.
15:56 🔗 SketchCow I count that as homogenous.
15:57 🔗 SketchCow WARC + Data
15:57 🔗 * ersi nods
15:57 🔗 SketchCow So, let's let alard keep working on the warrior - he's been rewriting it a few times and adding features.
15:57 🔗 SketchCow I'd like us to focus on other problems.
15:57 🔗 SketchCow I'm working on the fundraising thing.
15:58 🔗 SketchCow Got two artists doing stuff.
15:58 🔗 ersi fundraising for? :o
15:58 🔗 BlueMax My apologies for being out of the loop but fundrasin-
15:59 🔗 SketchCow For hard drives.
15:59 🔗 BlueMax dammit.
15:59 🔗 ersi Mmmh, hard drives. It's what *drives* us.
15:59 🔗 SketchCow Tax Deductable kickstarter for archive.org to buy hard drives to lessen the load
15:59 🔗 BlueMax I was thinking "I might suggest Kickstarter but that would be stupid"
15:59 🔗 SketchCow We were 25% of all incoming archive.org data that wasn't their own web crawls.
15:59 🔗 SmileyG That'd be maybe the first KS I donate to :)
16:00 🔗 BlueMax You'd want to try and get it on KS's frontpage if you do, and maybe state a specific project you would use said hard-drives for
16:01 🔗 BlueMax (this is purely my opinion)
16:01 🔗 ersi SketchCow: Got that one public yet, or is that what you're working on? Kickstarting IA disks?
16:03 🔗 SketchCow Working on.
16:03 🔗 SketchCow I don't need help with it. I need to see about thinking of good rewards.
16:04 🔗 ersi Yeah, I was just interested. Will probably chip in (even though, it isn't tax deductable for me)
16:04 🔗 ersi Hmmmm, does Kickstarter take out the usual fees for the project? Else, I'll just donate to regular IA instead
16:05 🔗 BlueMax SketchCow, floppy disk badge, signed beard photo, specially designed flash drive with a full copy of Textfiles.com, yo-yos, me in a tutu...
16:11 🔗 BlueMax http://piratepad.net/88kaSOEokp < a little idea list of mine (serious)
16:15 🔗 BlueMax I'm not really sure what could be added as rewards since I don't know the resources that IA would have access to on the free/cheap
16:16 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, I'll think it through.
16:17 🔗 Schbirid 2000$ gets a sponsored tweet from sockington ;)
16:17 🔗 SketchCow So that's on my side, the project I'm working on, as well as getting further details together for ArchiveteamCon II
16:17 🔗 BlueMax SketchCow did one of my responses really get a laugh at one of your DEFCON presentations? I really must watch those
16:18 🔗 BlueMax You need to get a TV set up and a Skype call so the rest of us can join in :P
16:18 🔗 SketchCow When you went full-chicken out on poetry.com
16:18 🔗 SketchCow And I had to send you to the playpen for a week
16:18 🔗 BlueMax I have no memory of that, my memory is awful
16:19 🔗 SketchCow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2ZTmuX3cog&t=35m05s
16:20 🔗 ersi Archiveteamcon *TWO*?
16:20 🔗 BlueMax I fucking love your outfit
16:21 🔗 SketchCow This was the name we came up with
16:21 🔗 ersi ah, I see
16:21 🔗 SketchCow "We lost all the records of ArchiveTeamCon I"
16:21 🔗 ersi "Yahoo decided to shut that Con down"
16:21 🔗 ersi "to cut PR-losses"
16:23 🔗 BlueMax lol you sure you were talking about me SketchCow in that video? doesn't sound like something I would do
16:24 🔗 BlueMax ersi: we had the get-together details on Geocities
16:24 🔗 ersi well, you did chicken out when that nice lawyer suit came if I remember correctly
16:24 🔗 ersi "Oh my god, oh my god" etc :)
16:25 🔗 BlueMax ...um...shit, I actually remember some of that, crap I wanna see logs of me chickening out now
16:31 🔗 DopefishJ SketchCow: at least for me http://archive.org/details/tv and all of the stuff under it redirects to http://archive.org/details/911 which is cool but maybe not what you were intending to link to?
16:32 🔗 SketchCow Oh, yeah, probably admin only right now. Apologies.
16:33 🔗 SketchCow I know they want to to open it soon.
16:34 🔗 SketchCow Nearly at $20k
16:34 🔗 SketchCow For git-annex
16:34 🔗 chronomex omigaws amiwagod
16:34 🔗 Aranje haha the pressure builds
16:34 🔗 * chronomex squee
16:35 🔗 SketchCow Let's see if my machine explodes.
16:35 🔗 DrainLib just checked tracker stats, we made picplz our bitch didn't we.
16:35 🔗 SketchCow Oh yeah, picplz had a copy party and didn't know it was invited
16:37 🔗 DrainLib we're the mc double def DP, the pic proectors for you and the posse.
16:38 🔗 DrainLib thats your archivists, anarchists, haxors, and pro-grammers, they download the images for history and grammas that lets you learn, but also lets you play, with the pics you came here for today
16:39 🔗 SketchCow Yes, that's what archiveteam was needing, freestyle.
16:40 🔗 DrainLib i'm just stealing MC Hart's flow. instead of "Don't copy that floppy," it's "Don't forget to mirror that site"
16:41 🔗 DFJustin also archive team only being 25% of non-wayback IA uploads, that is an insane amount of non-AT content
16:42 🔗 DrainLib so i've been kicking around a site idea for a while, wondering if something like it exists. Basically a site with end-user guides on getting your shit OUT of the cloud
16:43 🔗 DrainLib across various services, along with tools, etc
16:43 🔗 DrainLib would i be duplicating any efforts anyone is aware of?
16:43 🔗 DFJustin I saw something like that
16:44 🔗 DrainLib any idea where?
16:44 🔗 DFJustin http://www.dataliberation.org/
16:45 🔗 DFJustin limited to google I guess
16:45 🔗 DrainLib yeah that's google centric
16:45 🔗 DrainLib thats their official thing
16:45 🔗 DrainLib i'd be pulling heavily from that for google items
16:45 🔗 DrainLib other then that, i haven't seen any good central resource, it's piecemeal all over the place
16:46 🔗 DrainLib hell, would probably just mirror that as a backup and point people to it
16:46 🔗 DrainLib (the current one)
16:46 🔗 SketchCow DrainLib: Put it on the archiveteam wiki
16:46 🔗 SketchCow Speaking of which. IS THIS THE DAY I FINALLY FIX THE WIKI???
16:46 🔗 DrainLib Sounds like a plan
16:47 🔗 DrainLib I took some old notes, will have to dig them up and then I'll get wikifying
16:48 🔗 DrainLib but the title blacklist looks so happy
16:48 🔗 SketchCow I need us to let people on, we need to do more wikicleanup
16:49 🔗 DrainLib dataliberation.org waybacks like a year old. got any pull to crawl it again soon?
16:50 🔗 BlueMax SketchCow, I cleaned up that wiki for you ages ago, DO NOT BREAK IT.
16:51 🔗 DrainLib SketchCow: Let me know when all's good, I'll get on there and start writing .... will also populate some articles along the way on the List of social networks with some descriptors of what info is in there
16:52 🔗 DrainLib even if i have no idea how to get stuff out
16:52 🔗 DFJustin fyi everything on wayback is a year old right now, they're still crawling but way behind on indexing/putting-up for some reason
16:52 🔗 DFJustin see e.g. http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.cnn.com/
16:53 🔗 DrainLib got it, will drop that line of questioning :)
16:54 🔗 DrainLib Google's Data Liberation Front team has been silent since January... oh yheah... nothing to worry about with that piece of information, move along now Googlers ...
17:02 🔗 BlueMax man...that gay construction worker man story on the video really warmed my heart.
17:15 🔗 BlueMax holy god an archivememe is on there
17:16 🔗 undersco2 hahaha
17:18 🔗 BlueMax I didn't know Away From Keyboard existed
17:18 🔗 BlueMax Just
17:18 🔗 BlueMax Holy crap
17:18 🔗 BlueMax SketchCow, undersco2, chronomex, dammit I love you all
17:18 🔗 undersco2 :D
17:19 🔗 BlueMax I'm actually close to crying here
17:28 🔗 BlueMax What's the easiest way to grab a copy of textfiles.com?
17:31 🔗 DFJustin http://archive.org/details/textfiles-dot-com-2011
17:32 🔗 BlueMax I really should have thought of going through IA
17:32 🔗 BlueMax Thanks DFJustin
17:58 🔗 BlueMax I had an idea for a form of "video series"
17:58 🔗 BlueMax Where a member of AT dives into the archives of Geocities/Textfiles/Usenet and finds interesting stories to bring to the forefront
17:58 🔗 BlueMax In order to say "this is what we're backing up"
18:58 🔗 oli http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18356761
18:58 🔗 oli woops wrong window
19:03 🔗 DrainLib Whenever the wiki comes up, I'll put these in... my rough idea/format/improvements on getting data out of cloud services
19:03 🔗 DrainLib https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xG_9eVTxox-ARdLDcF2evqWKxLTHbBL33MlMFHU-vT8/edit
19:03 🔗 DrainLib More to come, with better links/steps, etc
19:04 🔗 DrainLib i had a whole list of services i wrote up somewhere, could easily just do it again
19:07 🔗 DrainLib Pages will be less archiveteam-internal centric, more I'm Joe Smith and want to know how to get my shit out of XYZ service when it's suddenly shutting down, or not shutting down and I'm just sick of using it
19:07 🔗 DrainLib focusing on easy to use tools/methodologies and detailed steps
19:10 🔗 DrainLib will still keep the archivist-AT-team focused material, just split each page into the basics up top, technicals in depth below. I like the Facebook page format and would likely follow similar
19:16 🔗 DrainLib also just stumbled on data compression algorithims and tools wiki page. is there something like "What the hell is this file?" that if someone finds old media they know how to get info off it?
19:17 🔗 DrainLib Basically, file extensions and some explanations on what they are, what one might want to do with them
19:19 🔗 DrainLib "i wrote my college thesis in 1988 and saved it in this WP4 format, now I don't know how to open it!"
19:19 🔗 patrickg for example http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/uc2? (one of the first matches when searching for that rather obscure file format)
19:20 🔗 DrainLib Yup.
19:20 🔗 DrainLib Starting a bit more niche perhaps, focusing on Document, Graphic formats :)
19:20 🔗 DrainLib even linking into this
19:20 🔗 DrainLib cause yeah this is awesome
19:20 🔗 DrainLib ok nevermind that idea
19:21 🔗 DrainLib done and done
19:29 🔗 DrainLib Car Talk show to end. 35 years of programming, new shows to air remixed from archived material - http://www.wbur.org/2012/06/08/car-talk-retirement
19:31 🔗 DrainLib podcasts back to 87 - http://www.cartalk.com/content/browse-shows
19:32 🔗 DrainLib sadly, all paywalled
19:33 🔗 SmileyG the actual files are on itunes/audiable
19:33 🔗 SmileyG so they won't go, will they?
19:34 🔗 DrainLib i wouldn't rely on itunes/audible for long term
19:34 🔗 SmileyG Yeah true.
19:34 🔗 SmileyG Someone got deep pockets want to buy them all? :D
19:34 🔗 DrainLib i see torrents on a less then legal one eyed shipping fan website
19:35 🔗 SmileyG yheah erm I found a torrent too :S
20:21 🔗 SketchCow Back
20:26 🔗 oli welcome
20:28 🔗 SketchCow All documentaries shipped out.
20:28 🔗 SketchCow That part of my life (backorder fulfillment) is increasingly becoming a drag.
20:30 🔗 oli my new colocated server is in and im happy :) 16 cores and 32gb ram of goodness
20:30 🔗 SmileyG :)
20:31 🔗 undersco2 SketchCow: Do you have a pretty continuous stream?
20:32 🔗 oli i'd say his life has a continuous stream
20:32 🔗 oli maybe ask him tomorrow for confirmation
23:37 🔗 SketchCow http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php
23:38 🔗 SketchCow I think if you close your eyes, you'll get a pretty continuous stream
