OK, because last week was a total bust (and because I've got jury duty and a DEFCON event tomorrow), I'm working to get something that's actually interesting today. |

Gotta get some embedded code for work fixed this morning (yaaaaaay stack corruption under FreeRTOS), but after that, trying to slam through. |

So I'll just use you as a go-between |

I was asked "Can we leech your bandwidth" and I responded "Sure, anyone can leech our bandwidth." |

That's kind of the point of the Archive |

Next, tell me what ROMs are "Locked" |

And I'll unlock them |

I think people sometimes forget that the Internet Archive has precisely one guy on staff for the curation, maintenance and functioning of the software collections. |
|
17:00
🔗
|
SketchCow |
So if that guy spends time with his buddy walking him around NYC, like I did yesterday, nothing else is going on. |
|
17:01

|
SketchCow |
But there's two other people whose job is to go through and notice "crap" is happening and then mitigate the "crap" |
|
17:01
🔗
|
SketchCow |
With "crap" being "something is eating 8% of our bandwidth", "something is spam", "someone uploaded terrorism" |
|
17:01
🔗
|
SketchCow |
And so they have some blunt tools to fix that |
|
17:01
🔗
|
SketchCow |
And sometimes, not every time, they go "Huh, looks like a Jason Special" and they ping me |
|

I think when people say "Locked ROMs", they mean "Declared High Bandwidth" |
|

And those are "You must log in to view" |

OK, I have to drive my pal to the airport (3 hour round trip). When you have info from them, I'll work with what I can. |

I wish people weren't so incredibly, hungrily eager to fill a dearth of information with a steaming pile of conclusions and then building, steadily, on that foundation. |

I'll 100% want testing help once it's up. Will it be helpful to host a server running my branch, or would you rather just pull it from Github? |

Also, question for future work (NOT for now): what is the general approach re: browser compatibility? e.g. ECMAScript 6 features that are only available on pretty new browsers? Obviously a lot of this stuff runs best on newer browsers anyway. |

Obviously, for example, Promises are handled with an auxiliary js file if they're not natively supported. But something like, say, modules would be handy for cleaning things up a bit in the future, but they're definitely pretty new. |
