It went on Hiatus and it still says to go on EFnet. 15:44:12 Why did we put some projects on Hiatus when some people really want us to work on some of those projects? One guy on reddit even wanted us to back up a specific twitter account 16:00:14 Because there isn't always the capacity to do every project at once 16:00:25 Everyone here volunteers, and there isn't always time or enough compute power to do it all 16:00:34 AT tried to prioritize stuff which is about to be lost 16:00:55 jamesp: feel free to push code if you care about the project 16:01:11 at the moment our focus is on priorities of getting content that is about to be lost 16:04:23 We always welcome additional contributions. Please submit a PR if you have changes and we can look into them when we have time. We are all volunteers, lots of us have 9-5 jobs, some of us have university and we don’t always have time to do everything. IA.BAK was resumed briefly but not sure it’s status anymore. jamesp 16:22:36 okay 18:35:33 turning up late here but yeah, IA.BAK had some pretty significant implementation issues and it's not really 'on hiatus' its just in a state where any sort of usage will require a completely rethink of how it's going to work 18:36:08 Something like IPFS may be viable, but everything has its drawbacks 18:36:55 Kaz: My solution is we work directly with the Internet Archive on how we should do it. And what are the Drawbacks of IPFS? 18:37:07 → #internetarchive.bak 21:47:17 JAA: is there tooling to to run something like a reverse proxy for http that records requests and responses as warc? 21:50:19 <[42]> kpcyrd: wouldn't that make more sense as a forward proxy? 21:51:16 this kpcyrd ? https://github.com/internetarchive/warcprox 21:52:50 that should work, thanks 21:54:29 Yep, warcprox is the way. 21:55:05 I'm trying to "snapshot" data pulled from mirrors by scripts, basically being able to switch between "record" and "serve" and I only store the data that is actually needed
