00:13 πŸ”— GLaDOS Remember: You cannot trust them.
05:29 πŸ”— SketchCow Aw man, Brewster's tearing up on stage
05:30 πŸ”— Cameron_D This is being recorded, yes?
05:37 πŸ”— balrog_ I sure hope so.
05:38 πŸ”— SketchCow I assume so
05:50 πŸ”— bsmith094 2 things, whats being recorded and where ?, and , I hate to beat a dead horse, but is anyone still working on ffnet grab, warrior -izing that would be helpful
05:57 πŸ”— SketchCow Virgil!
06:09 πŸ”— SketchCow Ted Nelson!
08:31 πŸ”— xk_id alard: sorry, I was afk. My research is in network science. I wish to crawl an online social network to extract the social graph and measure its topological features (degree distribution, etc.)
09:09 πŸ”— alard xk_id: Ah, interesting.
09:14 πŸ”— xk_id thanks
09:26 πŸ”— Nemo_bis xk_id: could also do it for pseudo-social networs like Wikipedia's userbase? :)
09:27 πŸ”— Nemo_bis *networks
09:31 πŸ”— xk_id yes.
09:31 πŸ”— xk_id How are the wikipedia users linked?
09:54 πŸ”— godane your not going to believe this
09:56 πŸ”— godane someone uploaded 'TechTV Music Wars' to MySpleen
10:15 πŸ”— godane i also found a mcdonalds vhs training tape from 1972
10:18 πŸ”— Nemo_bis xk_id: I think the most likely way to link them is checking their respective user talk edits
10:21 πŸ”— Nemo_bis xk_id: for instance, https://toolserver.org/~tparis/pcount/index.php?name=Nemo+bis&lang=meta&wiki=wikimedia will immediately disclose that I like users Sj and Pathoschild (see "user talk" top edits) :)
10:22 πŸ”— Nemo_bis You could also check userpages cross-links but those are more rare. Anyway, all this is available in dumps for Wikimedia wikis. (And perhaps also Wikia soon? :/ )
11:11 πŸ”— omf__ Did we ever finish backing up the halflife collection from planetphillip.com ?
11:12 πŸ”— omf__ I think schbiridi was working on it last July
11:12 πŸ”— omf__ the site owner took it offline, then put it back up
11:42 πŸ”— xk_id Nemo_bis: aha, yes. I was thinking it might be something like that. indeed, it's a good way to infer connections between users
11:44 πŸ”— xk_id Nemo_bis: by the way, there's a "conversation" in network science going on atm, which focuses on contrasting the friendship graphs as given by the friends lists, and the interaction graphs of the actual interactions between users
11:44 πŸ”— xk_id Nemo_bis: some studies showed they tend to differ a great deal :)
11:44 πŸ”— xk_id s/and the interaction/with the interaction
11:45 πŸ”— xk_id but yeah, that's just tangential
11:48 πŸ”— schbiridi omf__: nope, i ran into trouble and stopped. can't remember
15:02 πŸ”— omf__ how much did you get?
15:03 πŸ”— omf__ I am looking at doing a backup
15:03 πŸ”— omf__ now that steam is in full swing on linux there is a ton of content I need to find again for older games
15:35 πŸ”— schbiridi omf__: i do not remember and i did not keep the files, sorry.
15:36 πŸ”— schbiridi i'd estimate ~50GB but that is a guess really. maybe 100 or more
15:48 πŸ”— Ymgve schbiridi: what is 50gb?
15:53 πŸ”— schbiridi planetphillip maybe
16:22 πŸ”— omf__ Did you premap the site or just download files as you went?
16:44 πŸ”— schbiridi cant remember but i remember that you better premap
17:03 πŸ”— xk_id "More generally, Google said it best that Γ’Β€Βœrunning a web crawler generates a fair amount of phone calls.Ҁ"
17:09 πŸ”— xk_id gives a good impression of the scale of Google crawls: "To download a billion pages in one year, a crawler must sustain a rate of 32 pages/second. However, search engines must also recrawl pages to obtain the most recent version, which amplifies the need for speed."
17:22 πŸ”— xk_id this looks alright, but... tickets cost £27.50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNGm3ZL43gs
17:25 πŸ”— xk_id I am so sorry
17:25 πŸ”— xk_id wrong channel
17:25 πŸ”— xk_id :P
17:53 πŸ”— omf__ I should have something partial later today. I will need to add warc data though.
18:34 πŸ”— bsmith094 godane1: holy crap, you found it!?! link, please?
19:28 πŸ”— godane1 bsmith094: i will link it when i get it uploaded
19:29 πŸ”— godane1 ftp is being very slow
19:41 πŸ”— Schbirid german gaming streaming site http://www.own3d.tv/ is out of money and will be closing shortly
19:42 πŸ”— balrog_ :(
