03:00:53<EWARS_2>pokechu22 I think rec.net is where most of the game's webclient stuff is at, website is def a good start
03:02:46<pokechu22>I don't think I'll have time to look into reverse-engineering the webclient itself, but I can probably do a new grab of the website and blog
03:04:05<EWARS_2>Aight. And I think it operates kind-of similar to Roblox. Not a game I played very much, but a friend gave me a headsup about the shutdown
03:04:44<EWARS_2>The deadline is June 1st for the thing anyways, so there is some time thankfully

04:55:16<visilionosh>Hi guys, Im working on a project to store videos more efficiently, by compressing them with a neural network (https://github.com/microsoft/dcvc; I will be creating a fork on git soon with my code), I maneged to implement a INT16 version that can be cross-device compressed and decompressed (because fp16 gives different results depending on the GPU architecture), I know you
04:55:18<visilionosh>guys have a lot of deleted YT channels archived, there is any way to access it? Also, I do have data that I could share with you guys.
04:55:47retrograde (retrograde) joins

05:28:51<nicolas17>if you want test data why not download still-existing videos from youtube?
05:30:44<visilionosh>Its not for testing, I tested it already, it works, its for me archiving it on cold storage, you guys have a lot of data, see like you Im a datahoarder, I use the cheapest kind of cold storage (CD, DVD and BD, MDISC for the most important data) to store the data I get from the intertet, now these medium formats are very low density, so I perform the minimum amount of
05:30:45<visilionosh>compression possible to store it, thats why I use this network, its better than x266 and AV1 and its faster too.
05:31:46<visilionosh>If you want I can prove im legit, I do have a reddit account where I post on r/datahoarder from time to time if that's needed.
05:32:35<nicolas17>the youtube data we have archived adds up to 4.43PiB
05:33:38<visilionosh>all from deleted channels?
05:33:49<nicolas17>no, we don't know if it's deleted or not
05:33:57<nicolas17>when we save something it has to be still up on youtube
05:34:03<nicolas17>and once it's saved we don't track if it's deleted in the future
05:34:22<visilionosh>yes pardon me, of course
05:34:34<visilionosh>do you guys have a list of full channels archived?
05:36:16<nicolas17>ah looks like the IA items are restricted https://archive.org/download/archiveteam_youtube_20260319234608_402cd053
05:39:16<visilionosh>Yes, I see, once I talked with the director (or someone important there) via gmail, I complied about a problem in my account there and he asked me to mail him using the word "giraffe" as code to identify me, but after that hack he never answered my emails again
05:40:15<visilionosh>*by there I mean reddit

17:04:46<steering7253>The future prospects of the project were brought up for consideration in late 2025 and after a period of public comment, the Board announced in March 2026 that they were locking the 31 active editions of Wikinews, keeping them in read-only mode indefinitely.
17:04:50<steering7253>Wikinews launched in November 2004.
17:05:16steering7253 wonders how expensive it is for the nonprofit whose only job is hosting several mediawiki instances to host a mediawiki instance such that they have to kill i

17:06:23<@arkiver>i always liked wikinews, hoped it would be some kind of central repository of news

17:08:47<justauser>The main cost is probably staffing it with trusted admins.
17:09:07<justauser>They are making it read-only, not taking down outright (for now).
17:09:10<steering7253>erm
17:09:20<steering7253>didn't realize wmf paid admins :)
17:09:40<justauser>They control the top of hierarchy.
17:10:10<justauser>You have to sign something to get checkuser or revisiondelete.
17:10:32<justauser>This is, ultimately, extra administrative burden.
17:11:45<klea>revisiondelete is a permanent delete different from making revisions unviewable on the wiki?
17:12:20<steering7253>yup im sure they had to spend so much time making admins on the wikis with <20 admins that it just wasn't worth it :)
17:12:53<klea>I think it's possibly also due to politics.
17:12:58<justauser>Not permanent, but unseen even for admins.
17:13:11<justauser>Used, e.g., for doxxing cases.
17:13:53<justauser>We are solidly in -ot land, though.
