04:38:38 <Ryz> Aw, such is the life of Adobe Flash web video game portals; I came across http://zombiegames.net/ from my much huge backlog spreadsheet; and what makes it stuck out is there's a blog post posted earlier on 2020 April on the website's life: http://zombiegames.net/news/Thank-you-Zombiegames.html
04:39:08 <Ryz> The real stuck out thing is this Google Analytics image, just whoa: http://zombiegames.net/images/Stats1.png
04:51:53 <Arcorann> Incidentally, how many non-English sites do you have on there?
04:55:46 <Arcorann> (I ask because I had the site http://www.game-tm.com/ sitting in a to-do list for a while but never got round to doing anything with it)
05:11:40 <Doranwen> in cleaning out my old file folders (physical ones, not digital), I found scrap papers I'd written down URLs on about two decades ago - and I'm seeing which links the WBM happened to save out of curiosity - so far it's a high percentage!
05:19:04 <Ryz> Arcorann, I'm not so certain, maybe more than 30-50% is non-English? At least on the smaller more complicated websites to do
05:19:16 <Ryz> The other one is another world entirely s:
05:19:51 <Arcorann> Other what?
06:05:50 <Ryz> Oh, I had JAA scrape a ton of links that is related to BlueMaxima's Flashpoint by scraping links from Bing with the search queries I sent to 'em Arcorann
06:06:06 <Arcorann> Fair enough
06:06:18 <Ryz> There's 340k amount of links I have even with a bit of filtering and tackling
06:20:01 <Arcorann> Not bad
06:21:03 <Ryz> Heh, yeah; and even after archiving a lot of websites at ArchiveBot, there's still a ton more to go through ><;
06:21:08 <Ryz> It's nearly endless
11:52:34 <Arcorann> https://torrentfreak.com/riaa-obtains-subpoenas-targeting-40-youtube-ripping-platforms-pirate-sites-201029/
11:54:40 <Arcorann> The sites targeted include some torrent sites and file hosting sites as well
13:39:42 <thuban> iirc the flashpoint project involves manual curation. is there an intermediate project for simply saving flash files (and cleaning up the presentation later)?
15:53:47 <JAA> thuban: The thing is you don't just need to save the .swf files. Plenty of Flash stuff is interactive and loads more stuff as it runs.
18:52:41 <nico_32> JAA: detonate the swf in a browser with a proxy that is setup to log every url requested?
18:53:21 <nico_32> hum maybe i misremember but i believe someone wrote a proxy that generate warc
18:53:30 <nico_32> for his own archiving need
18:53:32 <JAA> Requests might only be made when you click on stuff etc.
18:53:46 <JAA> Yes, warcprox
18:54:59 <nico_32> JAA: yes
18:55:20 <nico_32> JAA: and using a decompiler would not help
18:56:16 <Ryz> Mm, archiving websites that have Adobe Flash stuff would be time consuming s:
18:56:26 <Ryz> Since those things are used for navigating through websites...
