01:22 ๐Ÿ”— mistym_ SketchCow: Any chance of adding non-image file uploading? I had some sample videos to upload for various formats
01:31 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud mistym_: what format? depending on what it is, you should probably also put a copy on samples.multimedia.cx in an appropriately-named folder (especially if it can't be played with a recent FFplay/AVplay)
01:34 ๐Ÿ”— mistym_ dashcloud: I'll do that if they're not there. The set is (almost) all of the codecs which come with a Quicktime+Final Cut Pro installation.
01:34 ๐Ÿ”— mistym_ I think Apple Intermediate Codec is the only one there not supported by ffmpeg + friends
01:35 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud ah- then you want to check this folder then: http://samples.multimedia.cx/drivers32/ (it should contain virtually every codec ever created)
01:36 ๐Ÿ”— mistym_ Rather, the files are samples produced with the codecs, not the codecs themselves.
01:36 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud ah
01:40 ๐Ÿ”— balrog mistym_: is ProRes supported? last I checked I didn't think so
01:40 ๐Ÿ”— balrog hm they do :P
01:46 ๐Ÿ”— dashcloud even better- encoding is supported as well
02:00 ๐Ÿ”— mistym_ Yeah! Prores support in ffmpeg is actually quite good these days.
02:00 ๐Ÿ”— mistym_ Went from nonextant to great in a pretty short amount of time.
06:27 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow I don't want the files on there.
06:27 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow (mistym)
06:27 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow We should work to make an example site, that contains examples.
06:27 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow Or link to extant examples.
09:27 ๐Ÿ”— soultcer underscor: Is dailybooth getting slow for you too?
15:57 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow From my mail:
15:57 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow Here are some sites which either have closed or are a valuable source of information not otherwise easily available if
15:57 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow they should go down. I've noticed that ftp.uu.net is apparently already gone, thus losing some valuable Usenet archives
15:57 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow not available elsewhere.
15:57 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow http://criminalbrief.com/ ran from 2007-2011 and is now closed, but not yet offline
15:57 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow http://www.dailycabal.com/ is a similar situation
15:57 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow ftp://ftp.funet.fi/ has many very old archives, especially including several Usenet groups like sci.space (no longer
15:57 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow exists as it was split into subgroups) and sci.space.news. It also has rec.food.recipes. It looks like sci.space.news
15:57 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow stops in 2003, but I have a complete archive from 2003 to the present.
16:07 ๐Ÿ”— godane ftp://ftp.funet.fi/ftp/index/FUNET/history/a.dump.of.funet.fi-ftp.archive.1996-10-25/
16:08 ๐Ÿ”— godane a dump of a ftp from 1996 maybe
16:14 ๐Ÿ”— DFJustin funet has a big archive of commodore stuff too
18:19 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 SketchCow: ftp.funet.fi might be on for a while as it serves as Debian mirror as well
18:19 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 but yes, the materials are worth saving
18:19 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 And there is: http://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/
18:24 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 And ftp://ftp.cac.psu.edu/
18:24 ๐Ÿ”— balrog I generally use lftp to back up ftp servers, with the mirror command
18:26 ๐Ÿ”— norbert79 balrog: I would do the same, but I am lacking the space
18:27 ๐Ÿ”— balrog I have a pile of sites here I backed up a while ago which would be nice to upload somewhere...
18:27 ๐Ÿ”— balrog 106gb in this particular directory, much more elsewhere
18:30 ๐Ÿ”— balrog is there a way to upload tidy site archives like this? these aren't WARCs since WARC didn't exist back then, but let me know :)
18:31 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: the wget-warc bugfix still hasn't been applied upstream :[
18:37 ๐Ÿ”— alard balrog: No. Have you tested the latest version? Does it fix the problem?
18:37 ๐Ÿ”— balrog alard: which latest version?
18:37 ๐Ÿ”— balrog the long long? it would fix the problem but break c89
18:38 ๐Ÿ”— balrog I don't like that approach to fixing this.
18:39 ๐Ÿ”— alard Yes, the one with %lld and (long long).
18:40 ๐Ÿ”— balrog btw, mingw doesn't support that
18:42 ๐Ÿ”— alard I was wondering if I should send another message. I don't really care about the C89/C99 thing and have nothing to add, but I did trigger the discussion.
18:43 ๐Ÿ”— alard I think something will happen, eventually.
18:44 ๐Ÿ”— balrog anyway, is there any server I can easily upload site archives to? maybe SketchCow has something available รขย€ย”ร‚ย if I have to wait it's ok, but this stuff is just rotting on my drive
18:45 ๐Ÿ”— alard Is it small enough to upload it to archive.org?
18:47 ๐Ÿ”— balrog [13:27:15] <@balrog> 106gb in this particular directory, much more elsewhere
18:50 ๐Ÿ”— alard No then, unless you have a fast connection. :)
18:50 ๐Ÿ”— alard You should probably ask SketchCow for an rsync account.
18:55 ๐Ÿ”— balrog I have a fast connection, but this is on a headless machine without X :p
18:56 ๐Ÿ”— alard You can use curl to upload.
19:23 ๐Ÿ”— SketchCow Brap
19:25 ๐Ÿ”— godane i'm downloading 'star wars - music by john williams'
19:26 ๐Ÿ”— godane its bbc documentary from 1980
19:32 ๐Ÿ”— godane i just read this: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/11/19/1636254/how-rapidshare-plans-to-avoid-megauploads-fate?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
19:33 ๐Ÿ”— godane i got to pirate at of attack of the show episodes
19:33 ๐Ÿ”— godane *at = a lot
19:33 ๐Ÿ”— Ymgve and I bet that with no pirates to pay premium fees, rapidshare will die pretty soon
19:35 ๐Ÿ”— godane i think i have to backup readwrite.com
19:36 ๐Ÿ”— godane there is only 6 times it was crawled
19:41 ๐Ÿ”— godane http://www.reedarchives.com/
21:58 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis balrog: in what continent is that machine?
21:58 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis https://wiki.archive.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IAS3BulkUploader is also very nice
21:58 ๐Ÿ”— balrog Nemo_bis: mine? USA, but I have 50mb/25mb internet so speeds are fast
21:58 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis balrog: speed is *never* fast to IA
21:58 ๐Ÿ”— balrog :/
21:59 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis well except for underscor who lives on their main backbone or so
21:59 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis anyway 109 GB is not much, you should be able to do it
21:59 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis unless you try FTP upload, which would be like suicide
22:00 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis the bulk uploader is ok
22:00 ๐Ÿ”— DopefishJ I get pretty good speed to IA from the university in the next town
22:00 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis DopefishJ: what university? and define decent :)
22:00 ๐Ÿ”— DopefishJ http://viu.ca/ and like 10 megabytes / sec
22:02 ๐Ÿ”— ersi It's the peering through Hurricane Electric that makes speed slow if I remember correctly
22:02 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis ersi: yes
22:02 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis DopefishJ: you're luck! 1) right continent, 2) right coast :)
22:02 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis *lucky
22:02 ๐Ÿ”— ersi I get a few megabytes upwards to IA boxes when the wind is blowing correctly
22:02 ๐Ÿ”— DopefishJ needless to say whenever I visit I look for a dataport >:D
22:03 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis ersi: my max was only 2 or 3 from Milan
22:03 ๐Ÿ”— ersi "only" - it's still pretty good sustained across
22:03 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis for brief periods
22:03 ๐Ÿ”— ersi sucks going below 1 MB/s though
22:04 ๐Ÿ”— DopefishJ I was surprised because we're not actually on any continent
22:04 ๐Ÿ”— DopefishJ but -bs
22:04 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis I got 590 KiB/s รขย€ย“ stable รขย€ย“ from Pampa O_o
22:05 ๐Ÿ”— Nemo_bis *Tampa ^^'
22:05 ๐Ÿ”— ersi Yeah, this is certainly #archiveteam-bs material - thought we were there
23:51 ๐Ÿ”— ivan` http://www.color.com/ dying
