plan is supposedly to have the old forums go read-only for "a few days/weeks" before redirecting to the new, which is convenient for us if it indeed happens
-
thuban
(clarification: read-only will itself be "[a] few days after" the 15th)

a grab was tried in 2023, but that seems to have been aborted. What was the reasons for that?
-
thuban
inadequate storage on pipeline, iaui
-
thuban
JAA, are you going to wait for the read-only and then unleash qwarc? ^
-

*aiui

that_lurker
ah good. Was afraid it was aggressive rate limiting
-
deadorbit
how do we get more storage on teh pipeline
-
pokechu22
it should be fine to just run it on a different pipeline with more space (there's several that have 1TB+)

Reposting b/c I messed up and posted in #archivebot...

looking for scans of a Japanese 8-bit microcomputer magazine called "RAM" -- Random Access Magazine.

Anyone know of a source for Japanese computer magazine scans?
-
turnkit
These go on the auction sites a lot but I can't find hardly any inside content, especially full magazine scans. Looking for TRS-80 program listings to see how the Japanese TRS-80's might have been used (if differently). So far I only see a blackjack program but TRS-80 is often on the covers. Seems like a good history set that's missing even
-
turnkit
though the magazines are readily available on Japanese auction sites still.

turnkit: i checked Anna's archive real quick, but can't find anything that looks like the covers from the search you posted :/

didn't they have a magazine project or sth?
-

maybe someone else here knows more?

I think the language barrier keep many non-Japanese unaware of their retrocomputer materials, and the Japanese cultural barriers may keep them from contributing pdf scans to Westerners.

c3manu
yeah, that's looking french ^^

fichtre!

lol

darn... also only modern stuff on Anna's.

You'd think someone would specialize in Japanese retrocomputing magazine archiving. Some MSX groups... Well, if anyone might know it could be someone here perhaps.

I mean it sounds like something gaming Alexandria might do but also it’s gotta have the money and drive behind it

hurrdurr yeah - okay -- I'll check

Thank you!

turnkit: you might have to wait a bit until the US timezones are awake and maybe back from work for more answers :)

turnkit: i looked and they don't seem to have the one you're looking for, but magzdb is always a good place to check (even though their selection in languages other than russian and english is limited)
-
thuban
despite being associated with libgen, i don't think anna's archive indexes it

thanks for checking
-
turnkit
the cultural gap might be the main challenge bc I have to think some 8-bit otaku has a collection and another likely has scanned some
-
thuban
that seems plausible, yeah

i'd like to recommend lowendtalk.com for archiving, there's pages that havent been archived since 2015

might be worth keeping a soft eye on old niche publishers
