I'm having weird speed issues but I can't switch from wifi to ethernet because I have a 3.7GB download from samsung going, at more than 50%

I actually know the founder lol, but he sold it in 2006 and I have no idea if he has any relationship with the current owners by now

nicolas17: how big is samsung-grab expected to be, and how far along is it?
-
nicolas17
I *think* there's 556 items / 180GB remaining, and the total is >800GB (a lot of which I grabbed before they added captchas)

'this man is downloading opensource data! stop him!'

8 items / 2.3GB pending upload to IA

I just got a "secure connection failed" while submitting the final "study the source code" to get the final download. Refreshed and it worked, but still, weird.

If it helps I've found that VPS from hostvds.com in their silicon valley location (appears to be HE Fremont or near abouts) are only a few ms hops away from IA, as well as archiveteam optane8 and backblaze us west

They're definitely a budget operation (IPv6 and bare metal have been "coming soon" for like a year) but for the $2/mo price point w hourly billing, not the worst

budget operation is what we like, isn't it? :p

Hah indeed

I had good results from digitalocean SFO too
-
nicolas17
it's just somewhat inconvenient to do the uploads from somewhere else -_-

nicolas17
need to get the zip from backblaze and the NOTICE.html from my computer (I downloaded them all pre-captcha)

> at current estimates, we will run out of money in early April. we have plans we are evaluating to keep cohost operational. we DO NOT intend to shut down cohost unless absolutely necessary.
-
rktk
I'm working on something to grab posts using the API. i should've done this a while ago
-
rktk
it's pretty easy
-
rktk
> cohost shuts down. we would write data export tools and a small static site generator so you could reconnect with your cohost friends on other sites and easily rehost old posts “as they were meant to be seen”, and e-mail everyone links to their data before the site shut down.

here's a news post from

2023-11-14: "We have been contacted by our credit card processors with new guidelines. We will be updating/removing content from our website to ensure accuracy, relevance, and compliance with legal or regulatory requirements. Periodically, we remove and update content to ensure that our site is up-to-date with the latest compliance from credit card processing companies. You may see content being removed which is specific to
-
AlexisJ
period sex and similar scenes. We are actively updating all sites to comply with these new guidelines."
-
AlexisJ
no my cup of tea, but wtf do credit card processors care
-
FireFly
unfortunately common afaik, and since it's basically an oligopoly they have a lot of sway
-
steering
some reporter probably contacted visa/mc and threatened to make it a scandal because they were disturbed by it
-
AlexisJ
I'm unsure if the removal is already complete or what exactly they have to remove, but information about available sets/movies is public
-
thuban
^^^ it's sometimes related to informal regulatory pressure (cf choke point)
-
AlexisJ
searching for "period" yields zilch so I guess it's already gone. Never knew it was there.
-
AlexisJ
what would be a good page on the wiki for to put this info? Just the "Porn" page perhaps?
-
thuban
mmm, i don't think this is porn-specific
-
thuban
probably either a page for that site, an item in deathwatch (which we sometimes use for content removals on sites which aren't dying completely), or fire drill (in reference to the possibility of further deletions)
-
thuban
last is a bit of a mess at the moment, though
-
fireonlive
yeah, cc processors are a bunch of prudes :\
-
fireonlive
i'd say deathwatch with that date (2023-11-14)?
-
fireonlive
its kind of removing a 'section' of content of sorts
-
fireonlive
hmm
