| 01:22:00 | <mistym_> | SketchCow: Any chance of adding non-image file uploading? I had some sample videos to upload for various formats |
| 01:31:00 | <dashcloud> | mistym_: what format? depending on what it is, you should probably also put a copy on samples.multimedia.cx in an appropriately-named folder (especially if it can't be played with a recent FFplay/AVplay) |
| 01:34:00 | <mistym_> | dashcloud: I'll do that if they're not there. The set is (almost) all of the codecs which come with a Quicktime+Final Cut Pro installation. |
| 01:34:00 | <mistym_> | I think Apple Intermediate Codec is the only one there not supported by ffmpeg + friends |
| 01:35:00 | <dashcloud> | ah- then you want to check this folder then: http://samples.multimedia.cx/drivers32/ (it should contain virtually every codec ever created) |
| 01:36:00 | <mistym_> | Rather, the files are samples produced with the codecs, not the codecs themselves. |
| 01:36:00 | <dashcloud> | ah |
| 01:40:00 | <balrog> | mistym_: is ProRes supported? last I checked I didn't think so |
| 01:40:00 | <balrog> | hm they do :P |
| 01:46:00 | <dashcloud> | even better- encoding is supported as well |
| 02:00:00 | <mistym_> | Yeah! Prores support in ffmpeg is actually quite good these days. |
| 02:00:00 | <mistym_> | Went from nonextant to great in a pretty short amount of time. |
| 06:27:00 | <SketchCow> | I don't want the files on there. |
| 06:27:00 | <SketchCow> | (mistym) |
| 06:27:00 | <SketchCow> | We should work to make an example site, that contains examples. |
| 06:27:00 | <SketchCow> | Or link to extant examples. |
| 09:27:00 | <soultcer> | underscor: Is dailybooth getting slow for you too? |
| 15:57:00 | <SketchCow> | From my mail: |
| 15:57:00 | <SketchCow> | Here are some sites which either have closed or are a valuable source of information not otherwise easily available if |
| 15:57:00 | <SketchCow> | they should go down. I've noticed that ftp.uu.net is apparently already gone, thus losing some valuable Usenet archives |
| 15:57:00 | <SketchCow> | not available elsewhere. |
| 15:57:00 | <SketchCow> | http://criminalbrief.com/ ran from 2007-2011 and is now closed, but not yet offline |
| 15:57:00 | <SketchCow> | http://www.dailycabal.com/ is a similar situation |
| 15:57:00 | <SketchCow> | ftp://ftp.funet.fi/ has many very old archives, especially including several Usenet groups like sci.space (no longer |
| 15:57:00 | <SketchCow> | exists as it was split into subgroups) and sci.space.news. It also has rec.food.recipes. It looks like sci.space.news |
| 15:57:00 | <SketchCow> | stops in 2003, but I have a complete archive from 2003 to the present. |
| 16:07:00 | <godane> | ftp://ftp.funet.fi/ftp/index/FUNET/history/a.dump.of.funet.fi-ftp.archive.1996-10-25/ |
| 16:08:00 | <godane> | a dump of a ftp from 1996 maybe |
| 16:14:00 | <DFJustin> | funet has a big archive of commodore stuff too |
| 18:19:00 | <norbert79> | SketchCow: ftp.funet.fi might be on for a while as it serves as Debian mirror as well |
| 18:19:00 | <norbert79> | but yes, the materials are worth saving |
| 18:19:00 | <norbert79> | And there is: http://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/ |
| 18:24:00 | <norbert79> | And ftp://ftp.cac.psu.edu/ |
| 18:24:00 | <balrog> | I generally use lftp to back up ftp servers, with the mirror command |
| 18:26:00 | <norbert79> | balrog: I would do the same, but I am lacking the space |
| 18:27:00 | <balrog> | I have a pile of sites here I backed up a while ago which would be nice to upload somewhere... |
| 18:27:00 | <balrog> | 106gb in this particular directory, much more elsewhere |
| 18:30:00 | <balrog> | is there a way to upload tidy site archives like this? these aren't WARCs since WARC didn't exist back then, but let me know :) |
| 18:31:00 | <balrog> | alard: the wget-warc bugfix still hasn't been applied upstream :[ |
| 18:37:00 | <alard> | balrog: No. Have you tested the latest version? Does it fix the problem? |
| 18:37:00 | <balrog> | alard: which latest version? |
| 18:37:00 | <balrog> | the long long? it would fix the problem but break c89 |
| 18:38:00 | <balrog> | I don't like that approach to fixing this. |
| 18:39:00 | <alard> | Yes, the one with %lld and (long long). |
| 18:40:00 | <balrog> | btw, mingw doesn't support that |
| 18:42:00 | <alard> | I was wondering if I should send another message. I don't really care about the C89/C99 thing and have nothing to add, but I did trigger the discussion. |
| 18:43:00 | <alard> | I think something will happen, eventually. |
| 18:44:00 | <balrog> | anyway, is there any server I can easily upload site archives to? maybe SketchCow has something available â if I have to wait it's ok, but this stuff is just rotting on my drive |
| 18:45:00 | <alard> | Is it small enough to upload it to archive.org? |
| 18:47:00 | <balrog> | [13:27:15] <@balrog> 106gb in this particular directory, much more elsewhere |
| 18:50:00 | <alard> | No then, unless you have a fast connection. :) |
| 18:50:00 | <alard> | You should probably ask SketchCow for an rsync account. |
| 18:55:00 | <balrog> | I have a fast connection, but this is on a headless machine without X :p |
| 18:56:00 | <alard> | You can use curl to upload. |
| 19:23:00 | <SketchCow> | Brap |
| 19:25:00 | <godane> | i'm downloading 'star wars - music by john williams' |
| 19:26:00 | <godane> | its bbc documentary from 1980 |
| 19:32:00 | <godane> | i just read this: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/11/19/1636254/how-rapidshare-plans-to-avoid-megauploads-fate?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed |
| 19:33:00 | <godane> | i got to pirate at of attack of the show episodes |
| 19:33:00 | <godane> | *at = a lot |
| 19:33:00 | <Ymgve> | and I bet that with no pirates to pay premium fees, rapidshare will die pretty soon |
| 19:35:00 | <godane> | i think i have to backup readwrite.com |
| 19:36:00 | <godane> | there is only 6 times it was crawled |
| 19:41:00 | <godane> | http://www.reedarchives.com/ |
| 21:58:00 | <Nemo_bis> | balrog: in what continent is that machine? |
| 21:58:00 | <Nemo_bis> | https://wiki.archive.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IAS3BulkUploader is also very nice |
| 21:58:00 | <balrog> | Nemo_bis: mine? USA, but I have 50mb/25mb internet so speeds are fast |
| 21:58:00 | <Nemo_bis> | balrog: speed is *never* fast to IA |
| 21:58:00 | <balrog> | :/ |
| 21:59:00 | <Nemo_bis> | well except for underscor who lives on their main backbone or so |
| 21:59:00 | <Nemo_bis> | anyway 109 GB is not much, you should be able to do it |
| 21:59:00 | <Nemo_bis> | unless you try FTP upload, which would be like suicide |
| 22:00:00 | <Nemo_bis> | the bulk uploader is ok |
| 22:00:00 | <DopefishJ> | I get pretty good speed to IA from the university in the next town |
| 22:00:00 | <Nemo_bis> | DopefishJ: what university? and define decent :) |
| 22:00:00 | <DopefishJ> | http://viu.ca/ and like 10 megabytes / sec |
| 22:02:00 | <ersi> | It's the peering through Hurricane Electric that makes speed slow if I remember correctly |
| 22:02:00 | <Nemo_bis> | ersi: yes |
| 22:02:00 | <Nemo_bis> | DopefishJ: you're luck! 1) right continent, 2) right coast :) |
| 22:02:00 | <Nemo_bis> | *lucky |
| 22:02:00 | <ersi> | I get a few megabytes upwards to IA boxes when the wind is blowing correctly |
| 22:02:00 | <DopefishJ> | needless to say whenever I visit I look for a dataport >:D |
| 22:03:00 | <Nemo_bis> | ersi: my max was only 2 or 3 from Milan |
| 22:03:00 | <ersi> | "only" - it's still pretty good sustained across |
| 22:03:00 | <Nemo_bis> | for brief periods |
| 22:03:00 | <ersi> | sucks going below 1 MB/s though |
| 22:04:00 | <DopefishJ> | I was surprised because we're not actually on any continent |
| 22:04:00 | <DopefishJ> | but -bs |
| 22:04:00 | <Nemo_bis> | I got 590 KiB/s â stable â from Pampa O_o |
| 22:05:00 | <Nemo_bis> | *Tampa ^^' |
| 22:05:00 | <ersi> | Yeah, this is certainly #archiveteam-bs material - thought we were there |
