so... i already posted this somewhere else, but this looks more like the right place^^ i have no experience with IRC. so I try again: I am a german speaking historian who also collects Star Wars figures. today, one of the oldest (or even the oldest) german Star Wars collectors forum "lichtgeschwindigkeit.de" announced that it may shut down as the

two admins decide to retire. right now they look for a successor but as the german collectors mostly moved to facebook or international forums, its future is very uncertain. I am a rather new collector and found so many artifacts of former collectors websites, which had brilliant knowledge but only survive in screenshots, mentions and rarely a few

pages on the webarchive, so I don't want to lose another. Is there any capacity to archive the forum? It has around 435'000 entries since 2003 and is a unique german source for the transition of the star wars collectors hobby from offline to online and also documents the slow "scientification" of the hobby, where people started to question

reproductions or bootlegs and were able to match figures to vendors and production factories. Even tho I understand it is quite niche^^
-
thuban
polduran: yes, definitely!

it looks like a good candidate for archivebot

Howdy folks, I'd appreciate it if someone could give me voice in #archivebot so I can archive
gotroot.ca/rigol/eevblog which using Wayback Machine's web interface only archived some of the 1814 (small) tarballs
-
jevinskie
There is waybackpy's WaybackMachineSaveAPI but I suspect I'd just be quickly rate limited especially since it doesn't seem to support auth. If someone could point me to a way to generate my own WARCs (preferably using Python) and submit them myself (preferably under my archive.org account) to the Wayback Machine I'd appreciate that as well.
-
thuban
jevinskie: you can upload warcs to the internet archive, but only whitelisted accounts' warcs will be visible in the wayback machine (due to provenance concerns).
-
jevinskie
Yes, I was wondering precisely about proof of provenance. How could archive.org cheaply get a proof without archiving it themselves...
-
thuban
(if you're still interested in generating your own warcs, see
wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/The_WARC_Ecosystem, especially wget-at, grab-site, and warcprox.)

pokechu22
It'd be pretty easy for archivebot to do that, but it might be worth saving the rest of the site as well
-
jevinskie
pokechu22: I suspect most or all of
gotroot.ca/rigol (not including subdirs) is already on WB since they're quite old and I manually checked a few. Its just the newer eevblog discussions that haven't been archived yet until I got a few through the WB web interface

Whoops, wrong channel. repeated here: mmmm I want one

I... don't really get everything that is going on and how you guys work, but what I read in the archivebot channel lichtgeschwindigkeit.de has been queued? is that all that has to be done? if yes, thanks a lot (y) '=D '=D
-
pokechu22
polduran: Yep. It should appear on web.archive.org in a day or two

thuban
polduran: if you want, you can watch the job run at

pokechu22
jevinskie: the main challenge with saving the whole site again with AB is that I'm not sure it would discover everything -
gotroot.ca doesn't link anywhere. If I can find all the open directories as starting points I can save everything though. Space probably isn't a concern as long as individual files are small
-
polduran
thats great. really appreciate what you do!
-
jevinskie
pokechu22: yep lets archivebot all the listing dirs we can find then
-
thuban
polduran: thanks, we appreciate the report!
-
pokechu22
audio.gotroot.ca/datasheets exists but has an HSTS error. (Archivebot ignores that but it does make looking through it in a browser annoying)
-
pokechu22
(and more importantly seems to have distinct content, unlike zero.gotroot.ca which seems to be identical to the main site)
-
jevinskie
pokechu22: nice, thanks!
-
pokechu22
Thanks for letting us know about this - seems like interesting content

An JS version of a Rigol unlocker was what led me there ;)

can't you see the two- or three-party system works wonders here in the west?!?!?

hey we have our fringe parties here sometimes :p

That reminds me that I need to go through and extract candidate websites from the PDFs on
kingcounty.gov/en/legacy/depts/elections/how-to-vote/voters-pamphlet again - I did the primary election, but now there's the general election (and there are _more_ candidates in the general election it seems? there were only 2 pamphlet editions last time and now there's 4, maybe

because some places didn't have primaries?)
