Time Nickname Message
00:33 🔗 Nemo_bis ete: if you mentioned the URL I'm sure someone would ingest it into archivebot
00:33 🔗 ete does archivebot get google caches?
00:33 🔗 Nemo_bis I don't remember
00:33 🔗 ete because the wiki is not live on the web
00:34 🔗 ete it's been replaced by a totally empty wiki
00:37 🔗 ete I'm talking to one of the guys running it now
00:37 🔗 ete still holding out some hope they can get it
00:42 🔗 Nemo_bis good luck
00:44 🔗 ete thanks
00:44 🔗 ete urg
00:44 🔗 ete backups. more backups.
00:49 🔗 ete hm
00:49 🔗 ete have you guys ever tried to get MW to turn https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgExportAllowAll on by default?
00:51 🔗 ete trying to resist shouting at people for not letting me know so i could grab a backup
00:51 🔗 ete it'll probably make them less likely to help get it back..
01:09 🔗 DFJustin ete: what's the wiki, wikiteam might have archived it
01:09 🔗 ete http://wiki.pokemon-online.eu/Main_Page
01:09 🔗 ete I searched the internet archive list, but it may not have appeared there i guess
01:10 🔗 ete https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Online_Wiki all the pages went away :(
01:11 🔗 DFJustin nope doesn't look like it
07:06 🔗 Nemo_bis Pity, we have a lot of pokemon wikis but not the one a contributor of ours needed :( https://archive.org/search.php?query=wiki%20pokemon
13:21 🔗 Nemo_bis Hmm http://www.alliancepermanentaccess.org/index.php/training/aparsen-training-schedule/access-and-usability-training/
15:48 🔗 Nemo_bis Creative Yahoo! attempts at making people lose more data: upon changing password, the pw passes even if it contains disallowed symbols. When you try to login, it fails.
16:02 🔗 joepie91_ Nemo_bis: the problem here is disallowed symbols in a password
16:05 🔗 Nemo_bis joepie91_: on the other hand they allow up to 32 characters
16:05 🔗 joepie91_ Nemo_bis: there should be no upper limit on passwords
16:06 🔗 joepie91_ if password length causes a storage issue, you're storing passwords wrong
16:06 🔗 Nemo_bis joepie91_: well I don't know the perfect solution; excessively secure passwords often reduce actual people's security because of how they store it
16:06 🔗 joepie91_ Nemo_bis: wha?
16:07 🔗 joepie91_ we're talking about limits, not requirements
16:07 🔗 Nemo_bis they = the user
16:07 🔗 joepie91_ /allowing/ for more secure passwords doesn't reduce security
16:07 🔗 joepie91_ only /mandating/ them does
16:07 🔗 Nemo_bis That's certainly not the issue, it's a balance they choose between making people stay secure and having too many people locked out of their accounts
16:07 🔗 Nemo_bis I don't know.
16:07 🔗 joepie91_ Nemo_bis: password length is not a valid metric for thatt
16:07 🔗 joepie91_ nor is character set
16:09 🔗 Nemo_bis I'm sure there's plent of research on the topic, I have no opinions.
16:09 🔗 Nemo_bis Only that any requirement should be validated consistently. :) Of this I'm pretty sure.
16:09 🔗 joepie91_ yes, all of which basically says "you can't estimate password security by length or charset alone" :P
16:09 🔗 joepie91_ (and all of which is essentially ignored by people)
16:10 🔗 Nemo_bis Password security is easy to assess. Sensible password policies not.
16:10 🔗 joepie91_ no, password security is not /at all/ easy to assess
16:10 🔗 joepie91_ that's a myth
16:11 🔗 joepie91_ there's a reason the password strength estimators are so horribly broken everywhere
16:11 🔗 joepie91_ https://tech.dropbox.com/2012/04/zxcvbn-realistic-password-strength-estimation/
16:11 🔗 Nemo_bis If it's not easy how comes all research agrees on the conclusions
16:11 🔗 joepie91_ but even /then/ you run into the problem of localization
16:12 🔗 joepie91_ Nemo_bis: because all research basically concludes "it's not easy"
16:12 🔗 joepie91_ lol
16:12 🔗 Nemo_bis "I don't know" is still an assessment
16:12 🔗 joepie91_ have a read through the article I linked
16:12 🔗 joepie91_ it outlines some common issues with assessment
16:12 🔗 joepie91_ and lists the ones that it /doesn't/ solve
16:12 🔗 joepie91_ and why they are a problem
16:13 🔗 joepie91_ yes, but not a useful one
16:13 🔗 Nemo_bis Sorry, we're talking past each other
16:13 🔗 joepie91_ "password security is easy to assess" combined with "and the assessment will be 'I don't know'"
16:13 🔗 joepie91_ may be technically valid
16:13 🔗 joepie91_ but in practice that's pretty much worthless
16:13 🔗 Nemo_bis All this stuff you're saying is correct but has nothing to do with what I was talking about, let's stop here please
16:13 🔗 joepie91_ hm
16:13 🔗 joepie91_ whoop whoop offtopic siren
16:13 🔗 joepie91_ lol
17:20 🔗 SketchCow Oh, that cute fire
17:23 🔗 SketchCow Can people interested in helping us figure out Orkut go to #throatkut
17:25 🔗 joepie91_ looks like Archive.org was used by NSA(/GCHQ?) peeps: https://pdf.yt/d/mLhBkBst5xHDtLGD (scroll down to 'MOUTH')
17:32 🔗 DFJustin probably for the dudes uploading jihadi videos I guess
17:36 🔗 SketchCow We always knew that.
17:36 🔗 SketchCow State Department downloads all the jihadi stuff uploaded
17:41 🔗 Nemo_bis Cute! More backups
17:42 🔗 godane we are sort of the NSA honeypot
17:42 🔗 godane upload stuff and the NSA also has
17:43 🔗 godane but that with everything now anyways
18:38 🔗 midas joepie91_: GCHQ is using mediawiki?
18:40 🔗 midas for some reason that is even more impressive to me
18:40 🔗 * midas moves to #archiveteam-bs
18:58 🔗 Nemo_bis CIA too
19:30 🔗 SketchCow Team, I have a tough but important task for you.
19:30 🔗 SketchCow Using Firefox or Chrome, go to:
19:30 🔗 SketchCow http://fos.textfiles.com/jsmess/pacman/mspacman/
19:30 🔗 SketchCow Press "5" to insert a coin.
19:30 🔗 SketchCow Press "1" to start a game.
19:31 🔗 SketchCow Then, tell me how the sound is "Poor, Good, Great", and what browser/version/os you're running
19:31 🔗 SketchCow this is for science
19:31 🔗 SketchCow and history
19:36 🔗 SadDM SketchCow: nothing loading? Chrome 35.0.1916.153 on Win7-32
19:38 🔗 garyrh on Firefox 30.0, Fedora 64-bit, it sounds Great
20:05 🔗 swebb Sketchcow: Argh!!! My Ears!!!
20:05 🔗 swebb (OSX Mavericks)
20:05 🔗 swebb Chrome
20:06 🔗 swebb Sound quality: I hear the song and sounds but mixed with digital artifacts, so probably poor.
20:14 🔗 Nemo_bis SketchCow: are you still interested if I have USB speakers fighting with kernel and Skype?
20:19 🔗 Nemo_bis Chromium 35.0.1916.153, Linux 3.15.4-200.fc20.x86_64: sound unbearable (and it's not the speakers' fault)
20:22 🔗 DFJustin if you hit F11 what does it show for the speed percentage
20:25 🔗 ats_ swebb: Firefox 30 on Linux -- sound is OK, although you get horrid noises if you switch to a different tab (it'd be nicer to mute it if the tab's not active, somehow)
20:26 🔗 ats_ SketchCow: even; sorry swebb
20:29 🔗 joepie91_ SketchCow: extremely choppy/glitchy, but intended sounds are vaguely recognizable, chrome 35.0.1916.153, openSUSE 12.3, fullscreening briefly drops the speed percentage but then recovers to somewhere between 90 and 110 just like in non-fullscreen
20:30 🔗 db48x pretty bad, with the speed jumping around between 20% and 120%
20:30 🔗 db48x this is Firefox 33.0a1
20:31 🔗 db48x on windows, in this case
20:31 🔗 joepie91_ speed is also jumpy for me, but stays within 90-110 range except for the first second after full-screening
20:32 🔗 joepie91_ sidenote: it does not correctly capture key-down
20:32 🔗 joepie91_ and scrolls the apge
20:32 🔗 joepie91_ page *
20:34 🔗 Nemo_bis DFJustin: around 40 %, with chromium and pulseaudio maxing out a CPU
20:34 🔗 garyrh i also get glitchy noises when switching tabs
20:42 🔗 DFJustin yeah if it's less than 100% the sound won't ever be good
20:49 🔗 db48x emulating DMA just isn't ever going to be as good as actually having it :)
20:50 🔗 db48x oh, this is an arcade game; it probably used an FM synthesizer or somesuch
20:52 🔗 db48x same deal though
20:54 🔗 db48x much better in chrome; it's better able to keep the speed up
20:55 🔗 db48x could have something to do with the number of tabs I have open in Firefox though
21:02 🔗 DFJustin yeah firefox actually has a speed edge with a fresh profile
21:04 🔗 Ymgve fuck http://wiki.xentax.com/
21:12 🔗 Ymgve more info: http://pastebin.com/H0jbgbcu
21:12 🔗 Ymgve "The pages were becoming a liability."
21:23 🔗 SketchCow http://fos.textfiles.com/jsmess/pacman/mspacman/
21:23 🔗 SketchCow Can people try again?
21:24 🔗 SketchCow Except make sure at the bottom it says: http://fos.textfiles.com/jsmess/pacman/mspacman/
21:24 🔗 SketchCow Sorry, I mean
21:24 🔗 SketchCow Audio: frequency: 22050, channels: 2, samples: 512
21:24 🔗 DFJustin Ymgve: https://archive.org/details/wiki-wikixentaxcom
21:24 🔗 Ymgve DFJustin: oh cool
21:25 🔗 Ymgve SketchCow: what are we testing?
21:26 🔗 schbirid guys, a friend of mine has gotten some juicy files and is looking for safe hosting that won't be taken down too quickly. i am not sure how juicy but some bigger companies might be unhappy. any suggestions where to host? would archive.org be ok for leaks?
21:26 🔗 SketchCow Send it along.
21:26 🔗 SketchCow Upload it.
21:26 🔗 schbirid size is not even a bluray
21:26 🔗 SketchCow Ymgve: If sound is decent.
21:26 🔗 SketchCow Press 5, press 1
21:26 🔗 schbirid should i make him contact IA in advance to notify them about the possible takedown wishes?
21:27 🔗 xmc nope, they can deal
21:27 🔗 schbirid excellent, thanks
21:27 🔗 garyrh SketchCow, runs pretty smoothly here, audio still glitches out if i switch tabs
21:28 🔗 xmc archive.org: part of this complete leak strategy
21:28 🔗 Ymgve sounds good, slight bit of noise
21:29 🔗 Ymgve there's a "ticking" sound in the background of the intro song (though I've never played arcade ms pacman so I don't know how it should be)
21:30 🔗 SketchCow Upload it, let me know, we'll generate a torrent
21:31 🔗 schbirid the publically accessible metadata only includes the mail adress of the uploader, not the IP, right?
21:31 🔗 schbirid we'd just create some throwaway account then
21:31 🔗 garyrh mrs pacman normally sounds like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuycpL_AmHg
21:32 🔗 xmc schbirid: right, so far as I know
21:32 🔗 Ymgve no sound in Opera but I guess that's expected
21:33 🔗 xmc schbirid: I don't see any IP addresses in https://catalogd.archive.org/log/316369520
21:33 🔗 xmc so I think not
21:33 🔗 Ymgve sound is much better in Firefox (I tried with Chrome first)
21:34 🔗 schbirid excellent
21:34 🔗 xmc also IA is generally interested in minimizing IP address retention, so that makes sense
21:35 🔗 SketchCow We don't keep IP logs
21:44 🔗 swebb SketchCow: OSX Mavericks, Chrome, MUCH BETTER!
21:45 🔗 schbirid oh IA, you are so awesome
21:45 🔗 schbirid alright, thanks guys
21:45 🔗 schbirid i'll help him with it and never talk about it again ;)
21:45 🔗 xmc :)
21:45 🔗 SketchCow Yeah.
21:49 🔗 midas schbirid: just dump the torrent in a message to me so i can hide it on the internet ;)
21:52 🔗 pft along those lines: what would the process be if i had pdfs of a small magazine from a provider whose longevity i feared? woul di upload them into a collection and then ask in here to have it switched dark? could ic ontinue uploading to it once it was dark?
21:53 🔗 schbirid you can dark items yourself, you cannot undarken them though. once dark, you cannot add/edit to them.
21:53 🔗 pft ahh :|
21:54 🔗 schbirid be aware that the mail address of the uploader is publically visible if someone bothers to look for it
21:54 🔗 pft oh, i am.
21:54 🔗 pft this is why i am asking and planning before doing ;)
21:54 🔗 schbirid :>
23:23 🔗 dashcloud holy crap- there really is a project now to bring back as much of Prodigy as possible: http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/1063/bringing-prodigy-back-from-the-dead
23:36 🔗 xmc dashcloud: oh nice
