[00:21] also, hey, a VPRO docu [00:21] I'm faaaaamous [00:21] My room looks like I'm going to die in there [00:21] oh [00:21] tegenlicht [00:21] hahahaha [00:21] OH IS THAT A PROBLEM [00:21] nah, it definitely isn't [00:21] i'm grabbing the video from tegenlicht too [00:21] *videos [00:22] so we can have the series [00:23] the vpro doesn't release the english version at the same time as the dutch version [00:23] *its weird that [00:25] SketchCow: those are some remarkably good English subtitles [00:32] They are [00:32] It's not weird [00:32] International has different clearances [00:32] Also the director is fighting to get it released CC [00:32] So archive.org can put it up [00:35] cool [00:36] maybe they can do a CC then for episode older then 6 months or a year [00:36] *epsiodes [00:37] another collection coming: https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22NCAA%20News%3B%22&sort=-publicdate [03:49] pluesch: Just hopped on to the website and saw wallbase is down completely now. It seems the image server is still up though, so I'm downloading the first 1000 images you're missing. [04:51] is there an update on trying to negotiate with Twitpic for a mutually favorable solution? or should i ask that on #quitpic [05:32] --- Help us save the Ancestry websites! [05:32] --- Join #ancienthistory [05:32] --- Starting today or tomorrow [05:32] --------------------------------------------- [05:32] --------------------------------------------- [20:16] Oh, and did anyone ever try contacting the 'Oh Internet' people to see if they still have the data from their original site, the original encyclopedia dramatica. ? [20:26] arkhive: girlvinyl was unwilling to give up the data of the original ED [20:27] when .ch was launched [20:27] I doubt anything has changed in the meantime [20:28] (note that this was discussed in the capacity of "ED.ch admin", not that of "archiveteam member") [20:28] (different hat, but I suspect that the result would have been the same) [20:29] oh. [20:32] I have a question to AT and i would like multiple thoughts/opinions. Every year(already happened this year) my city does an electronic recycling event and tons of shit is dropped off. I volunteered there years ago when still in highschool(actually fun gig) and am wondering if it is stupid or not worth it to ask the people in charge if i can take the old floppies/media/other worthwhile [20:32] stuff? So much is recycled(hopefully not dumped in the ocean) and lots of good stuff i've seen bite the dust or whatever [20:33] but is that inappropriate for me to ask if i could take some stuff? or waste of time? [20:34] it would be apprpriate but unfortunately they will probably say no, due to privacy reasons [20:34] arkhive: it's fine to ask, but expect to be brushed off for data security reasons [20:34] that said, depends on policy [20:34] if it's normally taken by a data destruction company, then you probably won't have a chance [20:34] if it's just put out with the trash, then you might have a chance [20:35] you could suggest they go directly to the IA [20:35] that way they have a better idea about what will happen with it [20:38] yeah, or that [20:39] Just ask the AT for the latest 990 and take it with you. [20:42] what is that? [20:42] 990 [20:42] The ironic thing is that they have a huge collection of 990s but I cannot find their own on the website; I have to go somewhere else. [20:42] I'll link an example. It is a lot easier to explain if you look at one. [20:44] https://ia601205.us.archive.org/32/items/NationalRifleAssociation2010IrsForm990/2010_NRA_IRS990.pdf [20:45] basically, it is the one stop shop for charities, foundations and operating foundations in the US. [20:45] It gives their purpose, basic info that they've been vetted by the IRS and their underlying financial information. [20:46] some pages are way more informative than others, but different groups look for different things so the whole thing helps [20:49] the only tricky thing is that the IA is a POF not a charity, yet. Some places are more skeptical of POFs, even if they are transitioning. [20:50] i don't know what pof is [20:51] its a private operating foundation. One of the three types of a 501(c) entities. [20:51] well, major types [20:51] But that requires a huge explanation that I don't really want to get into right now. [20:52] oh [20:52] I hate to be curt, but if you are curious, Google it. [20:52] :P [20:52] but, long story short, it makes a difference to big groups sometimes for highly technical reasons. [20:53] ya i did a short google first and the wiki had a bunch of different meanings but none like that [20:54] but okay [20:54] i'll do some reading up [20:54] my dad is the CFO of his company and could probably explain it [20:58] long story short, if you are doing work on behalf of a charity, supporting documents like the 990, incorporating or organizing articles and the IRS letter are always helpful. [20:58] but he should know what all of those are, as he probably bumps into the IRS fairly often. [20:58] okay. thanks dude [20:58] i am way new to the whole charity such stuff [21:00] doesn't help that the IRS can make even the simplest of things into 10 hours of paperwork. [21:01] the way many EU countries do it is better [21:01] but that is another huge topic [21:01] ya i don't know too much about his job just that he travels a lot to PA, Boston, TN, Belgium, France, Germany, Denmark, so on... [21:01] and china lol [21:02] it is a company that manufactures construction stuff for big architech firms or something and they outsource all the shit to china and such lol [21:03] they were doing a bunch of business in Saudi Arabia recently but that is pretty much all i know [21:05] You know, there is a channel for off-topic discussions and general pleasant conversation called #archiveteam-bs [21:05] * ersi lights the off-topic siren [21:05] oh. sorry. [21:05] @ersi: i am done with convo and will not make that mistake again. I appologize. [21:06] oops, I thought we were on bs [21:06] It was just a friendly reminder :) [21:06] :) [21:24] ersi: ... you are aware that sirens aren't very fire-resistant, yes?
