joepie91 |
ivan`: interesting how their FAQ contains "why not open-source it" but that question is never actually answered in the answer section.. |
|
03:58
🔗
|
ivan` |
joepie91: usually it's because the code is a mess and it would take months to clean up and document how to get it running |
|
03:59
🔗
|
ivan` |
the answer makes it sound like they're doing a lot of manual operations work |
|
04:04
🔗
|
joepie91 |
ivan`: honestly, that shouldn't matter |

joepie91 |
a messy release is better than no release |
|
04:04

|
joepie91 |
can't see why they can't release the code "as is" |
|

"our system is too complex for you" has always been a piss-poor excuse |
|

|
chronomex |
or they sucked some non-free code in years ago and they don't want to be pilloried for it |
|
04:10
🔗
|
Aranje |
that's probably the larger actual risk |

Too big of a "gosh, I hope we didn't infringe anyone's patents" |

actually, usually when something has a server end, that wasn't designed with open-source in mind, is pretty freaking hard to just "here you go, have fun!" |
|
04:16
🔗
|
ivan` |
indeed, sometimes the system depends on a bunch of configuration and scripts that aren't even versioned |
|
04:17

anybody got any experience with archiving tweets? Sure, I could simply write my own api client and store the data, but I guess this already exists. |

SketchCow |
Like, just archiving them in general? From the stream? |

Pete Namlook's died. His site is at http://www.namlook.de/ . What's the best way to do this? |
|

|
ZoeB |
I've gone to liveweb.archive.org and given that the main URL but I don't know if it'll spider it |
|

I can use wget with the warc option myself, but I'm guessing there's a better way? |
|

chronomex |
that's the best |

OK, I'll do that now, thanks... |

now, you upload it to archive.org |
|
22:54
🔗
|
chronomex |
:) |
|
22:55
🔗
|
ZoeB |
just as a regular upload or is there a special wayback machine friendly way? |
|
22:56
🔗
|
chronomex |
just a regular upload should be fine, we can stash it in http://archive.org/details/archiveteam somewhere |
|
22:56
🔗
|
chronomex |
probably in http://archive.org/details/archiveteam-fire |
|
23:05
🔗
|
ZoeB |
OK, let me see if I can figure this out again... archive.org's very web 1.0! |

yup! |

chronomex |
oh, yeah, the share button thing is weird. |

ZoeB |
I like the lack of comments, it's just the user friendliness that needs an upgrade :) |

I think IA has comments, they're called "reviews" |

so it's just the bad interface part then... kinda like e2 |

oh, you work at the IA? |

ZoeB |
perhaps I should extol its finer points for balance :D |
|
23:14

|
ZoeB |
really, it's a great service to humanity. it's only the interface I don't like, the concept and the fact that people actually did it are both wonderful |

iirc that new one had a bug where it didn't strip spaces from filenames, which IA's system hates |
