00:23 πŸ”— Coderjoe I don't remember when I first used altavista, other than it was still well within the altavista.digital.com days
00:25 πŸ”— RichardG to those with access to IA, could I get the google answers backup I did moved to the ArchiveTeam collection? I talked to somebody already
00:25 πŸ”— RichardG http://archive.org/details/google-answers-archive
01:00 πŸ”— Nathan_ Found some new stuff to archive in the RSS. Guess what? It's Yahoo!
01:00 πŸ”— Nathan_ http://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/54125001066/keeping-our-focus-on-whats-next
01:03 πŸ”— balrog http://downloads.yahoo.com
01:03 πŸ”— balrog let's see
01:03 πŸ”— balrog that's probably important :|
01:05 πŸ”— Nathan_ It's not GeoCities, but there must be something to archive!
01:08 πŸ”— Nathan_ I mean, we don't need shareware downloads, but maybe Citizen Sports, FoxyTunes, Yahoo! Neighbors, and Yahoo! Stars India can be archived.
01:09 πŸ”— Nathan_ It seems like Archive Team is turning into Archive Yahoo's Unprofitable Services Team.
01:18 πŸ”— RichardG FoxyTunes makes sense
01:18 πŸ”— RichardG it's dead since FF14
01:19 πŸ”— Nathan_ What about the other stuff?
01:20 πŸ”— RichardG Stars hasn't been updated since april and it's a India exclusive
01:30 πŸ”— balrog Citizen Sports is gone
01:34 πŸ”— namespace Ah, somebody already posted.
01:37 πŸ”— Nathan_ Yup
02:14 πŸ”— link343 Anyone online?
03:31 πŸ”— SketchCow Citizen Sports is 100% gone.
03:31 πŸ”— link343 oh
04:20 πŸ”— link343 What's the best way to backup Direct Messages?
04:21 πŸ”— link343 On Twitter
06:54 πŸ”— Coderjoe "we don't need shareware downloads"? ORLY? What if it isn't something that was only available for download there and hasn't been archived yet?
06:56 πŸ”— Coderjoe granted, we don't really need the AVG, FF, IE, Flash, etc. at this time
06:56 πŸ”— link343 most of the popular shareware programs are already available cracked on other sites
07:33 πŸ”— Burninate Impressions about this: http://www.zdnet.com/googles-blogger-to-delete-all-adult-blogs-with-ads-in-three-days-7000017451/ ?
07:33 πŸ”— link343 woah
07:36 πŸ”— Burninate If 255k users is an accurate estimate of Geocities @ http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/13908.html
07:36 πŸ”— Burninate (note: 2002)
07:36 πŸ”— link343 How do you backup images on blogspot?
07:36 πŸ”— Burninate then this probably dwarfs the Geocities shutdown... even a small fraction of 110M blogs that get automatically marked as 'adult' for something or other, which have ads
07:37 πŸ”— Burninate and, to boot, a lot of it *is porn*
07:37 πŸ”— Burninate People love porn.
07:37 πŸ”— link343 I doubt we'll lose any porn from this
07:38 πŸ”— link343 I'm betting most of it is reposts from other sites
07:39 πŸ”— link343 Still
07:39 πŸ”— link343 there are probably some interesting sites that might be lost
07:39 πŸ”— link343 like this for example: http://blackboardsinporn.blogspot.com/
07:39 πŸ”— Burninate What I mean is, no shortage of volunteers if someone gets on organizing the project very quickly
07:39 πŸ”— link343 I am backing this up ATM
07:39 πŸ”— link343 Is there anyway to find out what blogs are marked as adult?
07:40 πŸ”— Burninate so...
07:40 πŸ”— Burninate the policy is variously described as
07:41 πŸ”— Burninate 1) all sites labelled by Google with an adult content warning which have ad (either automatic or opt-in)
07:41 πŸ”— Burninate all adult content sites with adult content ads
07:41 πŸ”— Burninate and all sites with adult ads
07:42 πŸ”— Burninate however, here is one of the takedown notices -
07:42 πŸ”— Burninate http://static02.mediaite.com/geekosystem/uploads/2013/06/blogger-policy-640x376.jpg
07:43 πŸ”— Burninate "For clarification, the current Terms of Service calls adult content, Γ’Β€Βœimages or videos that contain nudity or sexual activityҀ and says that it permits adult-themed blogs as long as they are properly marked as such in the Blogger settings. It also states that it does not allow users to Γ’Β€Βœcreate blogs where a significant percentage of the content is ads or links to commercial porn sites,Ҁ which would appear to gel
07:43 πŸ”— Burninate However, some people are receiving this notice despite never having used their Google account to create any kind of blog in the first place, which doesnҀ™t inspire a lot of faith in GoogleҀ™s ability to differentiate between exploitative commercial ventures and thoughtful sex-positive websites for grown-ups. ItҀ™s also incredibly unclear what Google considers to be an Γ’Β€Βœadvertisement to adult websitesҀ in these new
07:43 πŸ”— Burninate with this upcoming purge.
07:43 πŸ”— Burninate guidelines: if you run a site that reviews adult toys, for example, but that never links to Γ’Β€Βœcommercial porn,Ҁ you might have been safe under the old TOS but not under the upcoming one. Or you might be fine."
07:45 πŸ”— Burninate "The letter, apparently sent out earlier this week Ҁ“ just days ahead of the deletion Ҁ“ is part of a crackdown on pornographic advertising on its Blogger network, reckoned to have around 100m blogs. Normal estimates suggest that around 10% of blogs on large networks are pornographic."
07:47 πŸ”— Burninate how are new projects initiated?
08:33 πŸ”— ivan` write wiki page, write pipeline code, configure a tracker, set up an upload target, set up megawarcing on upload target
08:34 πŸ”— ivan` see https://github.com/ArchiveTeam for sample -grabs and universal-tracker for a tracker you can test locally
11:11 πŸ”— benklaase Hi folks. I've been running a warrior for a couple of months now. I'd like to spin up a few instances on the same host, so to do that I need to change the default HTTP listen port that run-warrior connects to.
11:12 πŸ”— benklaase I've modified /home/warrior/warrior-code2/src/seesaw/run-warrior, but that's not being picked up.
11:12 πŸ”— benklaase ...nor is a change to /usr/local/bin/run-warrior
11:13 πŸ”— benklaase Any tips on what to change?
11:14 πŸ”— ivan` do you need the http server? I just --disable-web-server
11:14 πŸ”— benklaase Hi ivan. Don't I need that in order to configure my nick and the project I'm helping?
11:15 πŸ”— benklaase This is my first time actually logging in to a shhell on the warrior applience, so I'm just beginning to explore
11:15 πŸ”— ivan` I dunno, sorry, I've been running pipeline without warrior code
11:15 πŸ”— benklaase I'm comfortable with Linux
11:15 πŸ”— benklaase Ah OK.
11:15 πŸ”— benklaase Thanks.
11:16 πŸ”— benklaase You listed a command line argumment there, I'm not even sure which script I ought to give the argument to! :-)
11:17 πŸ”— ivan` wherever the run-pipeline command is
11:17 πŸ”— benklaase Ah, thanks. I'll have a rummage!
11:17 πŸ”— benklaase Hm nothing of that name in the process table
11:19 πŸ”— benklaase The file is in /home/warrior/warrior-code2/src/seesaw
11:25 πŸ”— benklaase Nope, that didn't do it.
13:29 πŸ”— ersi benklaase: Are you trying to run several warrior instances? Or several pipeline-projects in one warrior?
14:19 πŸ”— benklaase Hi @ersi, just seeing your reply now.
14:19 πŸ”— benklaase I'm running several (well, two) warrior instances.
14:20 πŸ”— benklaase What would you recommend?
14:21 πŸ”— SketchCow The google thing is a fuckin mess
14:22 πŸ”— SketchCow Burninate: RUn it
16:40 πŸ”— omf_ just got another 400gb of game files for the ispygames collection
18:00 πŸ”— Coderjoe weird. my warrior vm rebooted at some point
18:02 πŸ”— Coderjoe 18 hours 2 minutes ago
18:03 πŸ”— arkhive What is AT doing about AltaVista closing? Is there anything we can save?
18:24 πŸ”— closure altavista has just been a branding around search.yahoo.com for years, nothing to do afaics
18:24 πŸ”— closure well, we can remember the first time we used altavista. I think I used it in 1995 :)
18:25 πŸ”— ivan` 1.5 days left for greader
18:29 πŸ”— SketchCow Yeah, Altavista's a bearskin at this point.
19:09 πŸ”— arkhive I used it along with Ask Jeeves(no more jeeves now, haha) in elementary school.
19:10 πŸ”— arkhive idk how long it's been ask.com. I stopped using those when I got to sixth grade and started yahoo

22:40 πŸ”— godane but there is a collection for g4 in the tv archive collection for some reason
