[00:20] I went and tried to mirror gcommarchive.com. Someone else already have it, or should I put it somewhere? The wget mirror/warc is ~3.8G [00:23] upload to an archive.org item [00:24] Which part, just a tar containing all of it? [00:30] the warc file specifically [00:30] tar of the files is optional [00:31] once uploaded, tell us the url and an admin can move it to the archive team collection for ingestion into the wayback machine [00:33] Ok. Can I upload the warc and the tar of the rest of it in the same item? I first need to create my account, so I'll go do that. I haven't done this before, so sorry for all the dumb newbie questions [00:33] yes [00:33] here's one I prepared earlier https://archive.org/details/www.pooterman.com-20130824 [00:34] cdx files are not needed as those are auto-generated by archive.org [00:49] The ftp page says they only have one ftp server and it's deprecated. That seems like the most efficient way to upload stuff, is there something better now? [00:50] the new web uploader uses html5 and works pretty well, for command line there is an s3-alike interface [00:50] https://archive.org/help/abouts3.txt [00:53] Awesome. What's the policy on abandonware/copyrighted stuff/etc? I assume if I upload something bad, someone will remove it? I'd think this site should be fine, but I haven't really looked at it to see what it contains [00:54] your assumption is accurate [00:56] if you upload something verboten, it'll be hidden after someone complains [01:02] I'll have to use the s3 api since it's on a linux box. Is there a recommended tool? [01:07] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/internetarchive [01:26] Is there an interface for editing item metadata on the site once I upload it? I really don't want to try specifying it all via commandline in one shot [01:27] yes there is [01:42] That tool is good for changing metadata on items you own. [01:42] Seriously, get it. [01:52] It works well and I'm on top of the team to make it even better. [03:34] Uploaded. Hopefully I did it right. https://archive.org/details/www.gcommarchive.com-20140125 [03:57] so, I'm not totally sure, but I think AOL's broken/removed all the file links on their service- the library and the descriptions are still there, but files always say not available [04:53] tsp__: looks ok to me [04:53] I assume it's up to an admin to move it out of books? [04:54] yes [06:03] Moved. [06:03] Wish it had better metadata. [06:04] What metadata could be better? [06:08] Description of what it is, etc. [06:14] I'm not very good at describing things [06:22] I suppose I can try, though [07:09] SketchCow: Added a description. I wasn't sure whether the Universal Interactive, LLC. near the end of the homepage is the creator, so left it alone. I can fix that if needed. [08:52] Did anyone find a way to grab the designs off of Cloud Party? [11:11] Huh, canv.as is shutting down [12:50] http://i.imgur.com/kXZZc3w.png [12:50] Canv.as shutting down [12:51] oh, gone already it seems :c [15:56] rduser: Yeah, SketchCow is in the cahoots with moot [16:01] cah moot [19:28] the point is.. moot. [20:11] Can I get an adult to move https://archive.org/details/troll_lord_games_forum-20140127 for me? [20:15] SketchCow: ^ [20:26] Done [20:31] Woo... thanks SketchCow. [20:56] http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/interface-exhibition-artwork-geocities-deleted-city-and-the-future-of-interfaces-to-digital-collections/ [21:01] arkiver: It's not like there's a lot of great indexes to view, if you aren't logged in to FB [21:01] ersi: well, there are a lot of public accounts to be viewed when not logged in... [22:22] It's nice when we get news OUTSIDE of Archive Team. [22:22] https://archive.org/details/giganews [22:22] Giganews is going to mirror all text newsgroups they have, going back as far as they have, at Internet Archive. [22:24] Nice! [22:29] Awesome! [22:38] Just grabbed one. yep. 2003. [22:38] So 2003-2013. That one's in the bag. [22:39] hmm I never noticed this https://archive.org/details/usenethistorical [22:40] it JUST got moved there. [22:40] It was the other one. [22:40] It's in both places. [22:40] Brewster thing, he wanted it. [22:41] if you're putting all the usenet stuff together there's also http://archive.org/details/ancientfj-2004-10-18 [22:44] Done [22:46] oh wow the usenethistorical stuff is really extensive [22:46] alt.barney.dinosaur.die.die.die 2012-1993 [23:12] so i found a night line episode from 2003 [23:15] so i found some full episodes from 2000 also [23:18] looks like the only reason these episodes exist is cause they uploaded them in 2009 [23:40] oh wow. these go back to 1986, and up to 2003 or so [23:40] looks a lot like a google rip to me :) [23:55] * closure anticipates some fun in 2021 if I keep olduse.net going
