01:38 🔗 VonGuard well, i can torrent the 20 gig original
01:38 🔗 VonGuard if you want
01:38 🔗 VonGuard got a UG account?

01:45 🔗 omf_ probably 1 file
01:45 🔗 omf_ Raw video is very large
01:45 🔗 omf_ a 15 minute music video is easily 400gb

01:49 🔗 balrog- yeah, pretty sure about that

01:51 🔗 VonGuard doing em both
01:51 🔗 VonGuard in one bit torrent
01:51 🔗 VonGuard where do you want the torrent file sent?
01:51 🔗 VonGuard i guess email works for that
01:58 🔗 godane you can just put in up on underground gamer
01:58 🔗 VonGuard ok
02:09 🔗 DFJustin 20gb is no sweat for archive.org, and they'll auto-encode lq streaming versions
02:10 🔗 DFJustin if there's no real quality difference it's not worth making a big fuss but just fyi
02:11 🔗 DFJustin https://archive.org/details/201301211FFW7upload100GBtest
02:15 🔗 VonGuard you know what, i am not gonna be able to do this tonight
02:16 🔗 VonGuard i;'ll upload later. UG requires ziupping, zipping avis takes forever
02:16 🔗 ivan`_ you can zip without compression
02:16 🔗 chronomex zip --store
03:00 🔗 godane you also don't have to zip at all
03:00 🔗 godane videos normally never compress good anyways
03:04 🔗 S[h]O[r]T whats the channel for punchfork
03:04 🔗 S[h]O[r]T guess i got banned from some reason
06:07 🔗 vayd consumerist.com stopped updating on February 15th
06:07 🔗 vayd normally updated several times daily
06:07 🔗 vayd might be worth a look
06:10 🔗 vayd maybe not a panic siterip but precautionary... a while back they removed all user comments once they disabled commenting entirely. quite recently they restored all those old comments, but given the sudden removal at first, I wouldn't put it past them for the entire site to suddenly just disappear.
06:26 🔗 omf_ I will setup a slow mapper. I need to try my new multi-threaded scraper
08:44 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, good catch
10:03 🔗 db48x consumerist doesn't update on weekends, and monday was a holiday
10:04 🔗 db48x lots of good information on there though, we should crawl it regularly
10:05 🔗 SketchCow We should.
10:37 🔗 tuankiet alard: Hello. Is there anything I can do for Posterous?
10:42 🔗 Smiley 1. join #preposterus
10:42 🔗 Smiley 2. possibly pull more user ID's however I'm unsure if theres any left
15:14 🔗 DFJustin whoever mentioned it the other day, http://pdsimage.wr.usgs.gov/ is back up
15:16 🔗 norbert79 holy, won't be easy saving... http://pdsimage.wr.usgs.gov/downloads/Clementine/ - has at least 50 x 400 MiB files
15:16 🔗 DFJustin you're adorable
15:17 🔗 norbert79 maybe, but my space is limited
15:17 🔗 norbert79 can save maximum 50 GiB
15:45 🔗 Smiley norbert79: lol don't worry about it
15:45 🔗 Smiley your mentioning it is a start.
15:46 🔗 norbert79 Smiley: Couldn't resist checking first... Makes saving always complicated if the material goes above 20-30 GiB :)
15:47 🔗 Smiley yeah sure :)
15:48 🔗 ersi "Just put it in the cloud! (TM)"

20:37 🔗 godane i'm uploading gamepro tv
20:37 🔗 VonGuard oh you got the raw?
20:37 🔗 VonGuard balrog- is getting the raw i believe
20:37 🔗 godane i don't have the raw
20:38 🔗 VonGuard well he's getting the raw
20:38 🔗 VonGuard it's slightly better than mp4
20:38 🔗 godane i'm just uploading the mp4 files so archive.org can take it
20:38 🔗 godane also it would take more then a day to upload 16gb
20:40 🔗 VonGuard lol yeah
20:44 🔗 godane uploaded: https://archive.org/details/GameProTV-Ep1-1996
20:46 🔗 VonGuard nice, thanks!@
21:13 🔗 balrog- at this point I'm not doing so yet. However I have the bandwidth to upload.
21:13 🔗 balrog- 3 MB/s up :)
21:13 🔗 VonGuard nice
21:28 🔗 SketchCow So, I don't know if ANYONE wants this shit job but:
21:30 🔗 SketchCow - It would help a lot to look at http://awesome.commodore.me/downloads/magazine/ and compare to http://archive.org/details/computermagazines and then just e-mail me a list of which ones we don't have.
21:30 🔗 SketchCow I can then just do the pull and push.
21:31 🔗 red_beard SketchCow: I emailed you earlier. lemme see if i can rope my friend into at least looking at that ;)
21:31 🔗 VonGuard SketchCow, we were coordinating a physical version of this discussion on the igda preservation list
21:31 🔗 SketchCow red_beard: Righto. I can do that
21:32 🔗 SketchCow A physical version?
21:32 🔗 VonGuard yeah
21:32 🔗 VonGuard we were talking about who had what issues at what museums
21:32 🔗 SketchCow No, I mean explain before I leave over here
21:32 🔗 VonGuard of which magazine
21:32 🔗 SketchCow Oh, I see.
21:35 🔗 SketchCow Well, good luck on it.
21:35 🔗 SketchCow I get the scribe going up at the poughkeepsie location when I get back and then I start scanning things.
21:36 🔗 SketchCow And to be honest, this TOSEC thing looks like a month's worth of work.
21:36 🔗 SketchCow OK, off to the NZ thing, back in 10 hours or something, then on for a few hours.
21:37 🔗 SketchCow (TOSEC is all in .rar format all the way down and I have to convert it to .tar or .zip)
21:37 🔗 SketchCow It's 104gb rar which tells me it's probably frigging huge.
21:37 🔗 VonGuard later!
22:46 🔗 turnkit 27-year old technologist suddenly dies leaving his web site status in question. (http://www.varesano.net/projects/hardware/FreeIMU) What do I use to (1) archive the site, WARC? and then (2) can I upload that site archive to IA? Sorry if this is noobish question.
22:48 🔗 mistym turnkit: wget (1.14) can archive in WARC.
22:48 🔗 mistym And for 2) yes!
22:51 🔗 omf_ most linux distros have an older version of wget so you might have to compile it from source
23:25 🔗 Nemo_ter "what could ever change in wget after all?"
23:49 🔗 chronomex heh
23:49 🔗 chronomex like curl but more
23:51 🔗 closure fwiw, debian unstable has wget warc
