00:03:31 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% 00:09:00 in solidarity i now also have a 500MB download that will take 45 min and counting at 200KB/s 01:21:09 I'm getting Buttflare-blocked immediately on Taringa. 01:21:20 So that'll be fun. 01:23:16 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 01:29:02 worth reaching out? 01:29:46 schmooze him :3 02:08:09 nicolas17: how big is samsung-grab expected to be, and how far along is it? 02:10:53 I *think* there's 556 items / 180GB remaining, and the total is >800GB (a lot of which I grabbed before they added captchas) 02:24:48 'this man is downloading opensource data! stop him!' 02:25:08 8 items / 2.3GB pending upload to IA 02:25:57 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. 03:57:06 JustAnotherArchivist edited Deathwatch (+158, /* 2024 */ Add Taringa!): https://wiki.archiveteam.org/?diff=51861&oldid=51854 04:13:37 ah i was like he's very excited about that 04:17:50 i keep reading that as tanagra 04:26:09 I can almost download from samsung faster than I can upload to IA D: 05:48:26 Thezt edited Deathwatch (+176, Add Yahoo Loco): https://wiki.archiveteam.org/?diff=51862&oldid=51861 05:48:27 JustAnotherArchivist changed the user rights of User:Thezt 06:43:16 https://www.404media.co/nytimes-files-copyright-takedowns-against-hundreds-of-wordle-clones/ 06:47:25 nicolas17: is that a good thing? :P 06:47:53 taringa hmm 13:59:40 arkiver: no, it means IA uploads are slow af 14:19:51 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 14:21:17 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 14:21:53 budget operation is what we like, isn't it? :p 14:23:21 Hah indeed 15:20:45 I had good results from digitalocean SFO too 15:20:59 it's just somewhat inconvenient to do the uploads from somewhere else -_- 15:21:46 need to get the zip from backblaze and the NOTICE.html from my computer (I downloaded them all pre-captcha) 15:50:43 https://aftermath.site/the-gamurs-group-games-journalism-escapist-dot-esports doesn't exaxctly look good 15:50:48 exactly* 16:45:35 i'm sending taringa.net an email 16:59:03 thanks :) 17:37:47 Hey just a heads up 17:37:49 https://cohost.org/staff/post/5023717-march-2024-financial 17:37:56 > 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. 17:38:10 I'm working on something to grab posts using the API. i should've done this a while ago 17:38:12 it's pretty easy 17:39:55 > 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. 18:26:51 Pokechu22 edited Jira (+299, /* Status */ apache attachments finished): https://wiki.archiveteam.org/?diff=51863&oldid=51825 20:05:03 finally below 75 pending files to upload to IA 21:49:06 here's a news post from https://www.amkingdom.com/rss/allnews (account required) that may interest you: 21:49:24 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 21:49:24 period sex and similar scenes. We are actively updating all sites to comply with these new guidelines." 21:52:05 no my cup of tea, but wtf do credit card processors care 21:54:29 unfortunately common afaik, and since it's basically an oligopoly they have a lot of sway 21:54:30 some reporter probably contacted visa/mc and threatened to make it a scandal because they were disturbed by it 21:55:44 I'm unsure if the removal is already complete or what exactly they have to remove, but information about available sets/movies is public 21:58:28 ^^^ it's sometimes related to informal regulatory pressure (cf choke point) 21:58:54 searching for "period" yields zilch so I guess it's already gone. Never knew it was there. 22:03:46 what would be a good page on the wiki for to put this info? Just the "Porn" page perhaps? 22:04:35 mmm, i don't think this is porn-specific 22:06:09 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) 22:06:30 last is a bit of a mess at the moment, though 22:29:23 yeah, cc processors are a bunch of prudes :\ 22:32:45 i'd say deathwatch with that date (2023-11-14)? 22:32:52 its kind of removing a 'section' of content of sorts 22:32:56 hmm
