02:04 🔗 dashcloud so, apparently Twin Galaxies is officially dead now- the website disappeared sometime recently: https://twitter.com/ArtfulGamer/status/421756838510489600
20:11 🔗 qwerty0 So Yahoo owns tumblr now
20:11 🔗 qwerty0 and the implications only just fully hit me
20:12 🔗 qwerty0 So has anyone studied how hard it would be to back up tumblr?
21:48 🔗 yipdw qwerty0: actually, once you have a list of usernames, it's not too bad
21:48 🔗 yipdw qwerty0: archivebot has archived several tumblrs in full
21:48 🔗 yipdw however the sheer size of tumblr is still a factor to contend with
21:49 🔗 yipdw qwerty0: that said, tumblrs that embed video etc will need a bit more special consideration, just because you need to specially grab those
22:25 🔗 Smiley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTnu1lUekB4&feature=youtube_gdata_player someone grab
23:36 🔗 qwerty0 yipdw: oh, cool that there's progress, but yeah I was more concerned about the sheer size
23:48 🔗 qwerty0 I remember during the google video effort, thinking about how immense youtube is.
23:49 🔗 qwerty0 Google video was big, but a few years behind youtube, which makes a huge difference.
23:49 🔗 qwerty0 So with the maturity of tumblr and the number of users, I can only imagine its enormity.
23:51 🔗 qwerty0 But it's not video so maybe it's not too bad.
