did archiveteam ever do a mirror of the contents of macgui? the owner seems to have taken down the entire collection "in protest"
-
imer
"In protest against the widespread commoditization of vintage Apple software and its subsequent devaluation, the Mac GUI Downloads collection is closed." what does that even mean lol
-
imer
-
imer
"Since other people are also offering downloads of this, I'm shutting down in protest" ??
-
Lord_Nightmare
macgui.com/blogs/?e=504 seems to imply something more like:
-
Lord_Nightmare
"the community is gone and nobody is writing new software because the old software is still available, so i should take that away so people start writing new software for vintage macs again"
-
Lord_Nightmare
That's like saying "people aren't writing enough new books, so let me burn down the library so they're FORCED to write new books"
-
Lord_Nightmare
someone in 2019 had at least a partial archive of the apple2 and IIgs parts of macgui, which is ... some portion of the whole
-
Lord_Nightmare
but i don't know if that person still has it
-
Lord_Nightmare
see FOIA discord #chit-chat
-
imer
"nobody is writing new software" for old macs? shock.
-
Lord_Nightmare
exactly
-
Lord_Nightmare
also, people ARE writing new software but mostly really niche things
-
imer
i'm sure its fun if you're into old macs and software dev, but thats a niche of a niche kinda thing

Hey, thought I'd best give you a heads up that it looks like Discogs is about to go down the toilet really fast. There's a thread about what's going on here:

I did discover the other day that Discogs is now completely unusable without JS. That may cause issues.

Although at least the release pages still work.

(As long as you don't want to look at the reviews, anyway.)
-
jonty
They do have an API, but given the rate limits I think extracting the data from there is infeasible
-
JAA
Yeah, that's a non-starter. They do still have the monthly dumps at least.
-

jonty
Definitely worth backing that lot up

A bunch of it is already mirrored to IA I believe.

Is it possible to request archival of a public form that may be at risk of being taken down?

There is no mention of it going away, but I am hopeful that it would be possible to preserve the contents.

drop.com for the main drop site too I suppose. good to know
-
GinnyHuo
Good call on that one.
-
nstrom|m
I've bought stuff from them before but they've pivoted into a weird super overpriced luxury IT vendor
-
GinnyHuo
It feels that way for sure.
-
GinnyHuo
I got so caught up in sixteen years' worth of mechanical keyboard community data suddenly disappearing that I completely overlooked Drop itself.
-
nstrom|m
they started out as "massdrop" and did group buys where if they got X preorders for something they'd order it
-
nstrom|m
but now it's nearly all status symbol keyboards and super expensive audiophile gear 🤷
-
GinnyHuo
Yeah, it is a huge shame.
-
GinnyHuo
I miss the days when they had a cool assortment of things at entry-level prices.
-
GinnyHuo
Not now, when they are basically just another premium marketplace.

apparently the .ml TLD has transferred control back to Mali effective *today*
ft.com/content/ab62af67-ed2a-42d0-87eb-c762ac163cf0
-
andrew
maybe we should archive it so we don't get another .ga situation
-
andrew
maybe all of Freenom's other TLDs as well, they seem to be falling apart
-
fireonlive
if the NS records have already been updated there's little (if any) time for the 'domains that didn't make it' unfortunately
-
fireonlive
-
fireonlive
(though you can still query the old freenom NS for the old domains I believe but i don't think AB supports that/that gets into murky 'tampering' waters)
-
andrew
fireonlive: as of right now "free" .ml domains are still online
-
andrew
the NS records for the TLD still have not been updated

ah, great!

-
vokunal|m
can the bots here handle if i upload a zipped txt file or only zstd?
-
fireonlive
i don't think so (for automated submissions like imgone); zstd you're just stripping off the extension from the URL which lets transfer.* know to extract the zstd for you and the bot just reads the raw text
-
fireonlive
yep, it doesn't like that
-
fireonlive
(and removing .zip doesn't auto extract either)
-
JAA
Correct, only zstd.

rewby: did you finish uploading all the backlog of imgur warcs?
-
thuban
dpos, since qwarc won't get media?
-
JAA
qwarc can get anything its user tells it to.
-
thuban
right, but i had the impression it was impractical to set it up for arbitrary page requisites
-
JAA
Not *really*, it just requires you to hook it up to an HTML parser etc. since qwarc by design doesn't come with anything like that.
-
JAA
Could also grab the text contents first and then extract the media afterwards to retrieve them with AB or another qwarc process.

Working on the tracker, web interface might break, but actual tracker operation won't be affected.
