Can't you do almost the same thing with a PDA phone and cardboard box? |
00:33
🔗
|
wp494 |
you could, but I'd imagine some would prefer to have an extremely similar setup as to what the IA uses |
00:37
🔗
|
wp494 |
only variables being the camera and the lighting |

01:03

|
tfgbd_ |
Or anything with a camera |
01:03
🔗
|
tfgbd_ |
you then just shape the cardboard into a stand and position it |
01:03

I found templates for it on the web before |

joepie91 |
oh, that |
01:08
🔗
|
joepie91 |
far from ideal, though |
01:08
🔗
|
joepie91 |
and you need a fairly high-res camera to pull it off |
01:08
🔗
|
joepie91 |
phone/PDA camera is unlikely to cut it |

Hi all, I work at Meetup and we just announced we're shutting down a service called "Meetup Everywhere" http://meetup.com/everywhere |

what sort of data does this contain and what would be the best way to archive it? Also how much is there? |
20:08
🔗
|
balrog |
(also thanks for coming and telling us! That's generally not how we find out stuff is going away) |
20:09
🔗
|
Atluxity |
we got 33 days |

|
garyrh |
looks like we could archivebot it |
20:10

so these pages are very dynamic then.. changing accourding to what IP you got |

Jason Scott gave a talk about this at Brooklyn Beta a couple weeks ago and I realized I was in the exact position he described |
20:11
🔗
|
Atluxity |
garyrh: I dont think that will get us the result we want |
20:11
🔗
|
parsons |
So, there isn't a ton of data, no user photos (I think) -- I can find out more specifics |
20:12
🔗
|
parsons |
Would like to help out/assist if I can make this easier somehow |
20:12
🔗
|
balrog |
first we have to figure out what kind of data we're looking at and how much. |
20:18
🔗
|
garyrh |
a list of all meetups for a group can be seen by appending ?see_all=1 |

woah, I didn't even know that |

garyrh |
err, communities |
20:19
🔗
|
parsons |
we call them "containers" internally |
20:20
🔗
|
parsons |
we have an API that lets you access that, too |
20:20

I'm trying to get some data on the number of communities and groups |
20:43

parsons |
There are 6,623 communities, 102,538 local groups, and 217,979 events |
21:12

they will be deleted december 1st? |

is .zip the best kompress/archiv format for longtime backup? or any better suggestions? |
23:01
🔗
|
chronomex |
zip is ok, tar is ok, other things are less ok |
23:02
🔗
|
dashcloud |
what are your thoughts on 7z ? (the format, not the tool) |
23:07
🔗
|
garyrh |
in terms of last-defense recovery, afaik 7z has no such tool. |
23:07
🔗
|
garyrh |
of course for unix-like systems, tar is generally better |
23:08
🔗
|
balrog |
7z with par |
23:08
🔗
|
balrog |
or for that matter anything with par2 |
23:08
🔗
|
balrog |
par meaning par2 |
23:09
🔗
|
garyrh |
yes, par2 is always an option. |
23:13
🔗
|
Sk1d |
hm I dont think I need par2 as I am going to save them on amazon glacier (its photos and you have to pay some mony per file so I am think about grouping fotos together) |
23:15
🔗
|
DFJustin |
7z has a couple drawbacks for this purpose, one is that if you use the solid archiving feature, any corruption in the file could affect a large percentage of the contents |
23:15
🔗
|
DFJustin |
but par could alleviate that |
23:16
🔗
|
garyrh |
if the images are already compressed, tar (or zip with no compression) might be better |
23:17
🔗
|
DFJustin |
in terms of archiving for posterity, there is only like one implementation of 7z which has some portability and code quality issues which could be a concern decades from now, but for your own backups maybe not an issue |
23:20
🔗
|
Sk1d |
ok I will use zip with no compression. |
23:21
🔗
|
ats_ |
DFJustin: there are at least two implementations; "The Unarchiver" (i.e. unar/lsar) does 7z |
23:21
🔗
|
DFJustin |
ok |
23:22
🔗
|
DFJustin |
unarchiver is in objective-c and I completely failed to build it on windows so not sure how future-proof that is either heh |
23:23
🔗
|
ats_ |
it seems fairly solid -- certainly better than stock p7zip, anyway |
23:23
🔗
|
ats_ |
but I'm not sure I'd choose 7z as a long-term archiving format unless there was something specific about it that I wanted... |
23:23
🔗
|
ats_ |
there's an awful lot of complexity in the 7z spec |
