Archiving Thread

[ATWA ya dig?]

if I had the actual technical skill I would've made an archive in August 29 2025.

Don't look back, only forward.

Don't look back, only forward.

I might try to annoy archive-kun (archived.st owner) and try to see if he would be willing to teach me how to set my own one up.

they just added archive.org. I'm assuming they must be scraping historical domains.

and they removed it.

Can't describe the sheer comfort in liking something and then remembering you have it archived locally twice over and optically so you'll never lose it.

So far.

Left /off/ scraping yesterday for eight hours and scraped a total of 2,504 threads out of the ~4.7k total. The size of the board so far is ~43GiB, with half of that total consisting of the random thoughts thread.

I know you said it was easy but what did you exactly ask grok or whatever it was to create your software? Wanna try to make something for Linux.

I know you said it was easy but what did you exactly ask grok or whatever it was to create your software? Wanna try to make something for Linux.

Vibeslopped a foundation by feeding Grok class elements and Xenforo documentation and asking for an extremely basic scraper in Python. I then spent around ten hours over the course of a few weeks gradually adding more features, fixing up existing ones and bug-testing. ChatGPT was shockingly good at this, but moralliars you greatly, making going back and forth between chatbots essential. To add, requesting code to be condensed or tightened can make it so you can squeeze an entire basic codebase into a prompt field, making it easy to just ask for something to be added to the codebase and spat back to me in full.

Funny Claus number.

Currently burning /shit/ /pol/ and /int/ onto a BD-R. I might throw them onto my T430s SSD before deleting them off of the external drive I've been saving these too as it has hit capacity with the completion of my /off/ scrape. To give more information on this scrape; it's a snapshot of the entire site as of early September with some threads as of recent. I'm using an old thread URL scrape - seen on the prior page - thus making all newer threads made since then missing albeit with content posted since then in threads in the list scraped.

/q/ (7.7GiB) and /v/ (17.8GiB) just scraped.

/q/ (7.7GiB) and /v/ (17.8GiB) just scraped.

My dinky drive to hold all this hit capacity ages ago with /off/ so /off/ is stored separately on my laptop hard-drive so it'll take a while to get everything together for upload. I've no idea where I'll actually upload all this once I'm done however, as I'm not leaving my computer running for a month straight uploading it all at 400kbps to archive.org.

Getting near to finishing another cartridge of stuff. I've been considering in changing this server to FreeBSD since anytime I use the tape drive for long, or transferring a lot of data, either through torrents or between other devices, it just locks up explorer and the system itself. The lack of a GUI to interface with it on BSD is a problem though.

My scrape of /soy/ finally wrapped up. Only 13.3GiB funnily enough, roughly a third of what /off/ was. I assume the small size is due to half the board just being "What if Claus" threads.

Script for collecting account customizations (if music is present) for all registered members with >100 posts. Folder made in the working directory titled "soyjak_archive" and within lay folders named after each users username. Inside that lays the individual user assets. It has a lot of requirements to run (vibeslop) but I just wanted to upload it here regardless. Requires Python 3.12+, Windows 7+, ffmpeg, and Chrome v120+ alongside some Python dependencies listed at the top of the file.

Thus far.
