14:06 🔗 JAA I don't think so, and it probably won't anytime soon given how many people of the US still don't seem to give a fuck about the pandemic despite 115k+ deaths.

20:08 🔗 Nemo_bis OrIdow6: now explained at https://help.archive.org/hc/en-us/articles/360016554912-Borrowing-From-The-Lending-Library-A-Basic-Guide
20:09 🔗 JAA Nemo_bis: "Reduce your data uploads please, we're trying to make sure that we can keep the existing data safe even if the situation gets even worse." or similar.
20:11 🔗 Nemo_bis JAA: Ok. The number of uploads seems back to normal though.
21:07 🔗 Nemo_bis Who knew "OpenArchive is a free, open-source mobile application that securely uploads media content created on mobile phones to an online archive that is publicly accessible, helping ensure that journalists, activists, and citizens in repressive contexts are able to preserve media before it can be deleted or censored by authorities. "

23:01 🔗 DFJustin Nemo_bis: "austerity mode" was announced by sketchcow in #archiveteam in march:
23:01 🔗 DFJustin <SketchCow> Brewster has gone into "Austerity Mode", which means he's trying to protect the Archive during an economic downturn.
23:01 🔗 DFJustin <SketchCow> He's making noise about non-essential or at least cutting down the amount of data coming in.
23:01 🔗 DFJustin <SketchCow> Therefore, I'm going to ask that for Archivebot specifically (and I'm sure there's others), we do SPECIFICALLY shutdowns and coronavirus history, and not just "seems like a good idea"
23:01 🔗 DFJustin but he rescinded it in may:
23:01 🔗 DFJustin <SketchCow> So, WITHIN REASON
23:01 🔗 DFJustin <SketchCow> We can do speculative grabs again
23:01 🔗 DFJustin <SketchCow> Like, grab items you are concerned about, at least, even if shutdown isn't imminent
23:01 🔗 DFJustin <SketchCow> But stop people from ridiculous moronic "I sure do like slashdot, let's archive slashdot" bullshit.
23:01 🔗 DFJustin <SketchCow> "I saved ebay"
23:01 🔗 DFJustin <SketchCow> Thanks to the efforts of multiple people, and saved disk space, things are not as dire
23:01 🔗 DFJustin wessel152: ^
23:03 🔗 Ryz 'I has saves Forknight!!!! did I do it rite?' :p
23:03 🔗 wessel152 thanks for the info
23:04 🔗 wessel152 it was more a question of is it ok to upload to the internet archive
23:06 🔗 wessel152 but the answer seems to me that it can but not too much plz
23:09 🔗 wessel152 for the time being i have the storage space to store all my archives
23:12 🔗 JAA What is it and how much?
23:14 🔗 wessel152 blog.nl 800 GB and growing
23:17 🔗 wessel152 still online only no post sins April 2018
