00:09 🔗 godane so i found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-British-Chess-Magazine-1881-1908-on-DVD-ROM-/140992849729
00:10 🔗 godane this is most likely in pubic domain
02:59 🔗 omf_ SketchCow, I have been working on some drafts for new wiki pages. One is a FAQ like page and the other is a beginners guide to ArchiveTeam http://pad.archivingyoursh.it/p/faqs http://pad.archivingyoursh.it/p/things_you_should_know You have any specific points you want me to add? I know you mentioned a while back you wanted more docs on the wiki to get people into archiveteam projects
03:02 🔗 omf_ Everyone else chime in if you have questions you want answered
03:31 🔗 nwh might be wise if someone checked the WARCs that are being returned from the Xanga grab at the moment.
03:31 🔗 nwh there's a lot of 0MB jobs and a huge increase in the rate of returns.
03:32 🔗 omf_ I am on it
03:33 🔗 omf_ aawww fuck
03:33 🔗 omf_ I fucking knew this might happen
03:34 🔗 nwh omf_: warriors getting banned?
03:34 🔗 nwh GLaDOS especially, their empty jobs are most certainly not.
03:36 🔗 omf_ the server is being a bitch
03:40 🔗 nwh ah well, least it's easy to see where it started being flakey
03:51 🔗 omf_ alard, is the megawarc application python 2 or 3?
03:54 🔗 nwh omf_: I'm actually more inclined to believe that SilSte and GLaDOS have been banned, more than the server being flakey
03:54 🔗 nwh every job from SilSte is 0MB, and I'm guessing that GLaDOS is running several warriors, only some of which have been banned
03:54 🔗 omf_ I have not even had a chance to check the warcs coming in to see if they are valid. I am not jumping to the banning conclusion yet
07:41 🔗 Smiley When I was at home, glados was returning some valid
07:41 🔗 Smiley you realise me and glados are running 300 threads each right?
07:42 🔗 Smiley This is just like when underscor or Cameron_D goes crazy too
07:42 🔗 Smiley except it's both of us
07:42 🔗 Smiley the small ones all get returned exceptionally fast, appearing as if they are broken.
07:42 🔗 Smiley It maybe better if the tracker page could show size in KB if it's lower than 1Mb
07:42 🔗 Smiley or 0.x MB
07:43 🔗 Smiley And notice most of the warrior grabs from others are also 0MB
07:46 🔗 Smiley -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nogroup 35K Jun 26 08:43 xanga.com-zzzzxd-20130626-084251.warc.gz
07:47 🔗 Smiley 3500 35K-36K warcs in the packing queue atm
07:49 🔗 Smiley <h2>Object moved to <a href="%2f%3fxm%3d0">here</a>.</h2>
07:49 🔗 Smiley <html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
07:49 🔗 Smiley </body></html>
07:49 🔗 Smiley Lots of that
07:49 🔗 Smiley 20 redirections and it gives up
07:50 🔗 Smiley So is that banned, or just 'dead'/'odd' users?
07:50 🔗 Smiley signin lock...
07:51 🔗 Smiley or a bug?
07:56 🔗 ivan` is anyone backing up http://atom.services.livejournal.com/atom-stream.xml ;) ?
08:18 🔗 * Smiley ponders if thats going to be a list of all active usernames
11:20 🔗 godane SketchCow: looks like i found a hak5 epsiode with you in it
11:31 🔗 SilSte2 Are there problems with xenga?
16:11 🔗 omf_ Smiley, it is a bug, probably in the grab software since I could not reproduce it when I manually wget xanga sites or with a web browser
17:06 🔗 Smiley omf_: hmmmm ok odd
22:49 🔗 arkhive What does AT think about saving/dumping all stock ringtones that come with phones and have a website to download them as MP3 and other compatible formats, along with some information on each one(what phone it came from...)
22:50 🔗 arkhive I think it would be a pretty neat project. I can't remember if I asked this here before.
22:52 🔗 arkhive Nostalgic feelings when you hear that old Motorola RAZR jingle or Nokia ngage tone.
22:59 🔗 xmc sounds like a project to me
23:03 🔗 winr4r go for it
23:03 🔗 winr4r what about pre-MP3/WAV ringtones, like old nokias and shit?
23:10 🔗 db48x it's unlikely that any phone ever used anything else
23:10 🔗 arkhive hmm... maybe recording devices or rom dump? I don't know much about that stuff, though.
23:10 🔗 db48x I guess if they were really desperate for space then mu-law or a-law would have been an option
23:11 🔗 db48x but for the most part I'd expect them to be PCM data (wav is just pcm with a header)
23:11 🔗 db48x arkhive: yes, the best way to go would be to look into the firmware images
23:12 🔗 db48x which an excellent thing to archive in their own right, but not something we've gone after in a systematic way before
23:13 🔗 winr4r db48x: early monophonic phones used a very different format
23:13 🔗 winr4r and some phones didn't have installable ringtones at all
23:13 🔗 DFJustin db48x: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Multi-Rate_audio_codec
23:15 🔗 arkhive Getting old phones for free off of Craigslist would be easy. And electronic recycling events .
23:15 🔗 db48x DFJustin: that's for voice, not music or general sound
23:15 🔗 db48x winr4r: yea, thus trawling through firmware images with binwalk
23:15 🔗 DFJustin it was widely used for ringtones as well
23:16 🔗 db48x hmm
23:16 🔗 winr4r http://www.mikekohn.net/file_formats/ringtonetools.php
23:16 🔗 winr4r has information on formats
23:16 🔗 winr4r may be useful
