| 08:20:00 | <SketchCow> | On a train! |
| 08:21:00 | <SketchCow> | That is happening! |
| 08:22:00 | <ersi> | Connectivity? On a train? In the US? LOL |
| 08:22:00 | <SketchCow> | We do what we can |
| 08:23:00 | <SketchCow> | I wouldn't run netflix on it, of course. |
| 08:28:00 | <ersi> | Yeah, got WiFi (hooked up to 3G with beefy antennaes on the train) on some trains in Sweden - works pretty fine |
| 08:31:00 | <SketchCow> | Not sure how they're doing this. I wouldn't run a hearrt monitor off it. |
| 08:33:00 | <SketchCow> | I'm now downloading and soon to put into Archive.org a few more files |
| 08:36:00 | <SketchCow> | Check out what just showed up. |

| 13:26:00 | <SketchCow> | Hey, gang. |
| 13:26:00 | <SketchCow> | In DC at a Game Preservation conference! |
| 13:26:00 | <SketchCow> | All the big academic names! |
| 13:30:00 | | ats googles, and finds: "Game preservation is maintaining a stock of game to be hunted legally. It includes: preventing poaching, preventing losses due to attack by predators, and encouraging breeding." |
| 13:31:00 | <norbert79> | SketchCow: Good for you :) |
| 13:32:00 | <norbert79> | SketchCow: Hope you will have a chat about the catch 22 case of how games are dying just because it's not to be distributed without authorization, but you can't buy it either |
| 13:32:00 | <norbert79> | or about arcade roms |
| 13:32:00 | <norbert79> | same issue |
| 13:42:00 | <SketchCow> | This is known |
| 13:45:00 | <SketchCow> | Oops, archive.org is down |
| 14:01:00 | <SketchCow> | http://pvw.illinois.edu/pvw2/ |
| 14:06:00 | <norbert79> | Interesting |
| 16:10:00 | <godane> | looks like 2 episodes of attack of the show from eclipse got uploaded |
| 16:10:00 | <godane> | this is past the july 2012 date when he stopped doing it |
| 23:02:00 | <balrog_> | dashcloud: like, none? |
| 23:03:00 | <alard> | dashcloud: No space at all. It requests the /repositories listing from the API, then uploads the XML data. |
| 23:03:00 | <balrog_> | alard: is this script using a valid user agent string? |
| 23:03:00 | <alard> | This is not the download-files thing, it's just to find repositories. |
| 23:04:00 | <alard> | balrog_: It uses the standard user agent string. |
| 23:04:00 | <balrog_> | ok |
| 23:04:00 | <alard> | It's the API, so the user agent doesn't matter? |
| 23:04:00 | <balrog_> | github says they require a user agent |
| 23:04:00 | <balrog_> | "All API requests are encouraged to send a valid User Agent string. This is usually the HTTP client that you are using. If you are hitting the API without authentication, we ask that you add some kind of identification to the UA. This is so we can contact you if there are problems." |
| 23:05:00 | <balrog_> | but above that it says "User Agent Required" |
| 23:05:00 | <alard> | Should it say "Archive Team, contact @textfiles for complaints"? |
| 23:06:00 | | chronomex runs |
| 23:10:00 | <chronomex> | alard: have you considered allowing the person running it to supply credentials? |
| 23:10:00 | <chronomex> | gives you 100x more resources |
| 23:11:00 | <alard> | chronomex: Feel free to add it if you want to use it. (I won't use my own credentials.) |
| 23:12:00 | <chronomex> | heh, I'd put mine in but I've got other things to do |
| 23:12:00 | <chronomex> | like IRC and INTERNET |
| 23:12:00 | <chronomex> | also work |
| 23:12:00 | <alard> | It may not be necessary. |
| 23:12:00 | <chronomex> | sure |
| 23:15:00 | <soultcer> | So only one user can work on a task at any time |
| 23:15:00 | <alard> | (4615514 + 1) repositories / (6000 repos/hour) = 32 days, for one IP. |
| 23:16:00 | <soultcer> | I supply 7 or 8 IPs |
| 23:19:00 | <alard> | 4 days, then! |
| 23:19:00 | <alard> | (It's a simple script, so there can only be one active thing at a time. Each request produces the next url.) |
| 23:19:00 | <alard> | http://tracker.archiveteam.org:8125/ |
| 23:19:00 | | chronomex supplies an ip |
| 23:20:00 | <alard> | 3 + 5/9 days! |
| 23:20:00 | <chronomex> | erp, did I fetch a job mistakenly there |
| 23:20:00 | <balrog_> | yeah me too :P |
| 23:20:00 | <balrog_> | current url: https://api.github.com/repositories?since=141509 |
| 23:20:00 | <balrog_> | lock expires in: -1 |
| 23:22:00 | <corobo> | are there any (plans) for centos/rhel-based scripts? Wouldn't mind getting a few idle servers on the case :) |
| 23:22:00 | <soultcer> | corobo: All you need is python2 and python-requests library to run it |
| 23:23:00 | <dashcloud> | so it's saying no task currently |
| 23:23:00 | <corobo> | ah I'll have a more in-depth peek |
| 23:24:00 | <soultcer> | dashcloud: It's because someone else is currently working on a task. Only 1 task can be done at the same time, but since each user can only do 60 requests per hour, everyone will get their turn |
| 23:24:00 | <dashcloud> | ah |
| 23:24:00 | <dashcloud> | okay |
| 23:24:00 | <dashcloud> | I'll just leave it there then |
| 23:30:00 | <alard> | The number of repositories we found so far: http://tracker.archiveteam.org/github/ |
| 23:32:00 | <chronomex> | 72300? |
| 23:33:00 | <alard> | Yes. |
| 23:41:00 | | Nemo_bis doesn't care about his github account |
| 23:56:00 | <kennethre> | alard: how can i help? |
| 23:56:00 | <kennethre> | I assure you I care more about this than anyone in the room :) |
| 23:56:00 | <chronomex> | kennethre: do you work at github? |
| 23:56:00 | <chronomex> | istr you're at heroku |
| 23:57:00 | <kennethre> | I work closely with them, they paid me for a while |
| 23:57:00 | <chronomex> | aye |
| 23:57:00 | <kennethre> | for blog content though :) |
| 23:57:00 | <kennethre> | but yeah, i know everyone of importance there |
