00:34 🔗 SketchCow Hey.
00:34 🔗 SketchCow Sorry about that.
00:35 🔗 SketchCow My county was declared an emergency
00:35 🔗 SketchCow Tress down, power down, INTERNET DOWN
00:35 🔗 SketchCow Now back.
00:35 🔗 SketchCow Bitches.
00:35 🔗 SketchCow Happy third birthday!
00:55 🔗 bsmith094 is there anything that can convert cbr cbz to pdf quickly and preferably with a batch option , i have a massive archive of things id love to share and would love to have them in a more accessible format, before you ask, calibre doesnt seem to be working, and the only other thing i know of , Jomic, is also failing
01:57 🔗 SketchCow I unpack .cbz files and .cbr files and then upload them as whatever_images.zip to archive.org and it converts ffor me.
02:01 🔗 Coderjoe are those those comic book archive types?
02:04 🔗 SketchCow Yes
02:04 🔗 SketchCow .cbz is just a zip file with images
02:04 🔗 SketchCow .cbr is just a rar file with images
02:04 🔗 SketchCow I unpack, I turn into a whatever_images.zip (archive needs _images.zip in filename) and up it goes.
02:04 🔗 SketchCow Done
02:04 🔗 SketchCow -----------------------------------------
02:04 🔗 SketchCow Hello there.
02:04 🔗 SketchCow I found recently that one of my favourite music sites (www.allez-allez.co.uk) is about to die.
02:05 🔗 SketchCow Given I got no response from the owners offering hosting for a permanent archive, I'm doing it anyway, short of a C&D.
02:05 🔗 SketchCow I figure there is the Content, the Context and the Community to consider;
02:05 🔗 SketchCow First two I got. Their podcast feed is, as far as I can tell, 100% complete, so that was done on the first night. I've also got every page on the blog, thanks to predictable page names and lots of tabbing.
02:05 🔗 SketchCow The wall I have hit is the comments. Not massively active, no forum or long threads, but still part of this thing I adore and want to preserve.
02:05 🔗 SketchCow I'm not in any way unix, wget or ssh skilled, and googling around really only yielded results for copying the site if it is your own.
02:05 🔗 SketchCow ---------------------------------------
02:06 🔗 no2pencil New project?
02:08 🔗 * Coderjoe grumbles and reboots the instance he hasn't been able to ssh into for the past 3 days
02:10 🔗 underscor SketchCow: Your county was declared an emergency????
02:12 🔗 Coderjoe mmm
02:12 🔗 Coderjoe http://pastebin.com/pdU60TCh
02:13 🔗 dashcloud are you planning to expand into computer/videogame manuals as well (or is there an existing collection somewhere already?)
02:23 🔗 Coderjoe getting much nicer rates into s3 from this node than i was from the other
02:24 🔗 Coderjoe (this: instance-store, other: ebs)
02:34 🔗 SketchCow I am already WELL into manuals, sucker
02:34 🔗 SketchCow WELL into them
02:35 🔗 dashcloud I just can't keep up with all the new collections going up
02:40 🔗 SketchCow I am very fast.
02:41 🔗 underscor t SketchCow
02:41 🔗 underscor Do you have a will/
02:41 🔗 underscor s/\//?/
03:17 🔗 underscor 7
03:18 🔗 underscor 7.5TB in the archive so far
03:18 🔗 underscor Jason has 30TB
03:30 🔗 SketchCow I'll have more soon.
03:30 🔗 SketchCow Try and keep up.
03:34 🔗 bsmith094 sketch, i have the same issue with your own blog, ascii, and i would love a way to convert a wget -mpck into a single searchable document of some kind
03:37 🔗 gFosco Hello all.. I emailed Jason about the Javascript MESS/MAME port, just joining IRC.
03:39 🔗 SketchCow Hey, gFosco
03:39 🔗 SketchCow It's Jason here.
03:40 🔗 SketchCow I was offline due to a weather incident, now catching up as fast as I can
03:40 🔗 gFosco Hey )
03:48 🔗 gFosco I'm grabbing the MAME sources, never really looked into it before.
03:52 🔗 gFosco flipping through some code files... whoa.
03:54 🔗 tef what are the two approaches to porting it given one is emscripten ?
03:58 🔗 gFosco tef, i am assuming the second approach is: manually.
03:59 🔗 tef hmm
04:00 🔗 gFosco the volume of code is ass-tounding.
04:00 🔗 tef yes
04:00 🔗 tef I was thinking there might be another automatic approach
04:01 🔗 tef but I saw mame uses a dynamic recompliation system internally, so that might be an appropriate bit for manual effort
04:02 🔗 DFJustin yeah even if you emscriptened it, it would be worth doing a dynarec to llvm or js backend
04:02 🔗 DFJustin although I think most of the systems using the dynarec stuff would be too slow for js
04:03 🔗 tef too slow now
04:03 🔗 tef the nice thing about big-ass js projects is that the vm will likely improve substantially in the time
04:03 🔗 DFJustin true
04:03 🔗 tef also there are nice bits like typedarrays in later javascript bits
04:05 🔗 tef but even accurate emulation of some games is hard in native code today :/
04:05 🔗 DFJustin fyi I am in messdev, I mostly do stuff other than coding but I've been around the project for many years and know how stuff works
04:05 🔗 tef ah cool
04:05 🔗 tef i'm an idiot :3
04:05 🔗 tef I've poked about emscriptem, written an interpreter in js and I work in archiving atm
04:08 🔗 DFJustin it looks like emscripten even supports sdl so it could be easier than I thought to get mame doing something
04:08 🔗 tef neat
04:10 🔗 gFosco Is the output from emscripten readable? I wonder how hard it would be to debug, modify, etc...
04:10 🔗 tef that would be a painful route
04:11 🔗 tef output from binary translation is not pretty. you'll be modifying the js for the llvm code, with little resemblence to the original
04:11 🔗 tef it is also much harder to merge in changes
04:11 🔗 tef if you need to integrate I think you can export an interface to some existing javascript code (iirc)
04:12 🔗 gFosco ah, interesting about the interface..
04:15 🔗 tef gFosco: for example https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/blob/master/src/library_sdl.js
04:16 🔗 gFosco Very cool
04:19 🔗 tef they are also on irc on freenode
04:28 🔗 SketchCow gFosco, come to #jsmess
04:28 🔗 SketchCow Anyone else who wants to help with that project, too.
04:28 🔗 SketchCow Anyone coming in to tell us it's impossible will get ka-booted
04:29 🔗 balrog hey SketchCow
04:29 🔗 balrog I have berlios stuff to upload
04:30 🔗 SketchCow Let me find you a slot.
04:30 🔗 balrog ok.
09:44 🔗 alard Hello. Anyone up for archiving the me.com/mac.com sites? There's an automated script, more info on http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=MobileMe#How_to_help_archiving
10:22 🔗 void_ ciao alard. i'm getting confused, these patches going into wget trunk for warc, are yours?
10:22 🔗 void_ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2011-10/msg00047.html
10:24 🔗 alard void_: Yes, they are. (But I'd like to keep my real name out of here, that's what makes it confusing.)
10:25 🔗 void_ ok fine ;)
16:19 🔗 SketchCow Hey, gang.
16:20 🔗 dnova hey
16:22 🔗 SketchCow 662G TRY2
16:22 🔗 SketchCow du -sh *
16:22 🔗 SketchCow 138G YV-6300097-6399947
16:22 🔗 SketchCow 662G YV-6300097-6399947.tar
16:22 🔗 SketchCow Well, there's the mystery solved.
16:24 🔗 underscor SketchCow: What happened the first time?
16:24 🔗 SketchCow No idea.
16:24 🔗 SketchCow Wasn't disk space, wasn't memory.
16:25 🔗 SketchCow Always good to check, glad it worked out.
16:25 🔗 SketchCow It's now been split into three items:
16:25 🔗 SketchCow 192G YV-6330001-6359980
16:25 🔗 SketchCow 232G YV-6300097-6329984
16:25 🔗 SketchCow 239G YV-6360017-6399947
16:25 🔗 SketchCow du -sh *
16:28 🔗 underscor Awesome
16:29 🔗 underscor alard: Following the gnu thread, this is awesome
16:29 🔗 underscor s/gnu/wget/
16:29 🔗 underscor If we get warc support written into wget, it'll be huge
16:29 🔗 alard underscor: Yes, it seems to look promising.
16:30 🔗 underscor What's the etymology of your nick?
16:32 🔗 alard An accident? It's just something I use sometimes when I need a name but don't want to give any. It's not too unique, which is good. I first came here just to upload my Google video, so I didn't really think about it.
16:33 🔗 underscor Aha
16:33 🔗 underscor That works :)
16:33 🔗 underscor Thanks
16:57 🔗 tef underscor: gnu thread?
16:58 🔗 tef underscor: could you link? I have a vested interest in warcs
17:02 🔗 tef ah found it in scrollback
17:07 🔗 tef alard: this is awesome <3
17:11 🔗 DFJustin hot
17:16 🔗 alard tef: You work for/with the warctools company, wasn't it?
17:16 🔗 tef yes
17:16 🔗 tef but the original one is unmaintained, which may make it hard for warc acceptance :/
17:16 🔗 alard The latest version of the patch doesn't use warctools any more.
17:16 🔗 tef I was going to ask - it doesn't look like it
17:17 🔗 alard The wget maintainer thought it was too large, he wouldn't add it to the wget code but add it as a separate extension.
17:17 🔗 alard So I replaced it with a simpler, smaller series of printf statements.
17:17 🔗 tef heh
17:17 🔗 tef we didn't like the smell of the old code either :-)
17:28 🔗 tef alard: if this gets in I will buy you a beer :-)
19:30 🔗 SketchCow Woo hoo
19:45 🔗 closure hey SketchCow, wonder if you can set up some rsync accounts on batcave for users with Berlios data? For: balrog dashcloud wyatt yipdw ersi
19:46 🔗 closure also, were you aware rsync can show all the rsync repos on batcave? :)
19:47 🔗 yipdw closure: SketchCow's hooked me up already
19:47 🔗 yipdw also, all berlios data I have as of 10/31 has been rsynced
19:51 🔗 closure scratch yipdw, he already uploaded it
19:52 🔗 closure also scratch ersi, I think the others still need account
19:56 🔗 ersi closure: My berliOS data is already uploaded.
19:56 🔗 ersi It's in ersi/
20:02 🔗 closure and balrog already has a batcave account I see, so only: dashcloud wyatt
22:54 🔗 SketchCow I've been adding people by the truckload, Berlios come lately
23:13 🔗 dashcloud I do have berlios stuff to get uploaded- can you get me setup?
23:15 🔗 underscor closure: They still require a password though
23:15 🔗 underscor Even if you can see them
23:23 🔗 underscor I think SketchCow needs one of these
23:23 🔗 underscor 91.208.177.20/~jwh/jwh_butthurt.pdf
23:25 🔗 DFJustin I'm having trouble getting through to archive.org, is sketchcow overloading the matrix again
23:27 🔗 Coderjoe someone forgot to wash the spoon, so now it is all fuzzy
23:30 🔗 Coderjoe the batcave is still reachable. i suspect something happened with the front-end webserver(s)
23:30 🔗 SketchCow Yes
23:30 🔗 * SketchCow gets to watch them all flip when this happens.
23:30 🔗 SketchCow Webheads being reset, for what it's work.
23:30 🔗 SketchCow worth
23:37 🔗 underscor Seems to work okay here
23:40 🔗 _shane_ hey :)
23:40 🔗 underscor Sup _shane_
23:42 🔗 _shane_ Downloaded the geocities archive and wish too comb though it for lost Commodore sites. However when i used 7z i ended up with a 700GB www.geocities.com file.
23:43 🔗 _shane_ How do i search this file. ? or have i done something wrong sorry for the newbie question.
23:44 🔗 _shane_ I used 7z x www.geocities.com.7z.001 against to first file.
23:46 🔗 _shane_ I am goggling for more ideas but any help would be great.. Finding the lost Commodore content is important for us.
