02:54 🔗 SketchCow Looks like you're doing fine.
03:00 🔗 oli pretty apt name for the project :/
07:09 🔗 kennethre http://winchester.craigslist.org/vgm/3074184507.html
07:09 🔗 kennethre should i?
07:12 🔗 SketchCow It's a harmless purchase and a classic
07:12 🔗 SketchCow So, what's going to happen to readmill and readibility when the attorney general sues them?
07:12 🔗 SketchCow Wait, that's -bs
07:13 🔗 kennethre SketchCow: do you know how much one of those things weighs?
07:13 🔗 * kennethre has a 3rd floor apartment :)
07:13 🔗 kennethre SketchCow: what's readmill doing now?
07:14 🔗 SketchCow They're significant
07:14 🔗 kennethre I have an account but i never really figured it out
07:15 🔗 kennethre like why it exists
07:51 🔗 SketchCow Logos now being drawn for Archive Team
08:16 🔗 Coderjoe_ kennethre: this site says the "dimensional weight" is 345 lbs
08:17 🔗 Coderjoe_ it has a regular weight column, but that has just ??? in it
08:17 🔗 chronomex "dimensional weight" is the equivalent weight for postal billing, based on the size of the thing
08:18 🔗 alard SketchCow: I think we have enough people running memac. The main issue right now is that these people aren't as effective, because the current set of users is full of problem cases.
08:18 🔗 chronomex I've got a 20G user uploading now
08:18 🔗 SketchCow That user needs to be shot
08:18 🔗 chronomex yes
08:19 🔗 chronomex I had one a few days ago that caused wget to OOM
08:19 🔗 chronomex they had like 14,000 files I think
08:19 🔗 chronomex they are certainly problem users
08:19 🔗 Coderjoe_ but that's just based on 1 lb per 194 cubic inches
08:19 🔗 chronomex Coderjoe_: yes
09:58 🔗 Schbirid oops. if a item at IA is deleted, i guess the identifier is not available to be re-used, eh? :\
10:01 🔗 Schbirid one hour until today's https://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/temp/ovh.html (11 UTC)
10:28 🔗 chronomex why does this shit always happen during prime sleeping hours
10:30 🔗 Schbirid a couple of days ago there was one at ~5utc
10:36 🔗 GLaDOS Eh, it's always in the evening for me.
11:35 🔗 LordNlpt2 kennethre: grab that sucker if you can
11:35 🔗 LordNlpt2 an original galaga machine is worth quite a bit
11:36 🔗 LordNlpt2 and the stupid locks can be replaced
14:15 🔗 SketchCow http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/3-reasons-we-wont-see-cloud-api-standard-196056?source=rss_
14:15 🔗 SketchCow Not a great article.
14:15 🔗 kennethre turns out rackspace isn't even using regular openstack
14:16 🔗 kennethre did their own auth scheme
14:16 🔗 SketchCow Rackspace CEO recently made some statements about "We need a standard!!!"
14:16 🔗 SketchCow Which really means "We need a smoother upgrade path away from AWS because they are fucking killing us!!!"
14:16 🔗 SketchCow Must be hard to be Avis, when you're an Avis that's the size of Enterprise
20:18 🔗 SketchCow http://en.canoe.ca/montrealmirror/
20:19 🔗 mistym Lovely. I heard about the paper shutting down, but not that the website was taken down already.
20:39 🔗 sankin speaking of newspapers, is there any good way to archive stuff from the Google News Archives? ( http://news.google.com/newspapers/ )
20:50 🔗 Schbirid i am afraid i asked this before but forgot the answer, is there a simple warc extractor yet?
21:03 🔗 alard Schbirid: http://warctozip.herokuapp.com/
21:04 🔗 alard Depends on what you mean by 'extracting'.
21:04 🔗 Schbirid haha, nice
21:04 🔗 Schbirid yeah, that will save me the time i was wanting to save
21:04 🔗 Schbirid thanks
21:04 🔗 alard I don't know if it works for large warcs, though, there might be some Heroku limits.
21:05 🔗 Schbirid mine are tiny, it will be fine
21:06 🔗 alard It might be useful if SketchCow or underscor could run it on an archive.org machine, so we could link people to it.
21:23 🔗 Schbirid zgrepping a 13G archive would probably be faster than grepping a gazillion of tiny files in many subdirectories, right? cpu is powerful
21:26 🔗 chronomex probably, yes
21:27 🔗 Schbirid for some reason it gives me bollocks:
21:27 🔗 Schbirid $ zgrep fileplanet forums.tar.gz
21:27 🔗 Schbirid Binary file (standard input) matches
21:28 🔗 Schbirid on a smaller tar.gz it works fine
21:28 🔗 Schbirid meh
21:28 🔗 alard grep --text ?
21:29 🔗 Schbirid that works, thanks
21:33 🔗 chronomex you could extract it to tmpfs instead of disk
21:33 🔗 chronomex tmpfs flies
21:33 🔗 Schbirid whoa, i can! that server has 16GB ram and i aint using much of it
21:33 🔗 Schbirid great idea, thanks
21:33 🔗 chronomex :)
21:34 🔗 chronomex tmpfs would be more context switches than tar|grep, but you get the filename out of it
21:47 🔗 Schbirid stupid server. it filled up swap instead
21:51 🔗 Schbirid meh, the file is just 1G too much or something
22:00 🔗 chronomex heh
23:52 🔗 godane i think you guys have it
23:52 🔗 godane but here is full science magazine archive: http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/1791652/16021566/
