00:40 signpost could use the "urlsafe" variant
00:40 signpost + becomes - and / becomes _
00:40 signpost is that a log link?
00:41 awt signpost: yes.
00:41 signpost \o/
00:43 awt Chipping away at making the entire log accessible from the client.
00:49 awt_akris I believe previously discussed, but quite possible to bootstrap a pest net using the pre-pest IRC logs.
00:50 signpost what are you thinking about there? someone's client recites them as hearsay or something?
00:53 awt_akris Yes. Could modify historical message nicks with some kind of suffix.
00:54 awt_akris Or you pre-load your pest db with all the lines.
00:55 awt_akris That approach wouldn't work for the current pestnet, but there could be an archival pestnet or something.

10:28 signpost awt: there's a threading mechanism, so the logs could be recited in their own thread.
10:29 signpost in fact this would allow more than one person to recite his logs as he knew them.
10:42 asciilifeform http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-07-11#1028104 << wouldja have separate 'archive nets' for separate chans? (or, lol, cacophony of mixture of ancient chans??) and wat-do about non-pestable handles (tooshort, toolong, non-ascii) ?

10:42 asciilifeform imho easier for folx who want to cite vintage logs, to use the bots ( asciilifeform intends to keep his working, even after fully pestronic loggers come online, if only for this )
10:44 * asciilifeform can't help but draw an analogy b/w the notion of shoehorning historical folx who were never on pestnet, into the latter, and -- the mormon religion's 'retro conversion' of the dead, lol
10:45 awt_akris asciilifeform: hey could even bring them back to life
10:45 asciilifeform lolyes
10:45 * asciilifeform recalls attempt to bake 'mpbot' in fact while mp was alive
10:51 signpost yeah, I'm not married to the idea, but it would be a shame for those citations to eventually become unusable.
10:51 signpost just as various blogs have died, etc
10:53 * signpost figures he will eventually blog into such a "subthread" too, though perhaps this idea isn't settled.

11:49 asciilifeform signpost: interesting things tend to get preserved (barring mass cataclysms) 1 way or anuther
11:49 dulapbot (alethepedia) 2020-10-01 asciilifeform: kokkarinen preserved some of danimal's usenet articles on his (long-gone, but variously mirrored) www .
12:04 signpost the annoying bit is the references breaking, but this is admittedly probably orthogonal to pest.
12:05 signpost can’t fix the past

14:02 awt_akris Akris Desktop could be considered an offline log browser, from one angle. Some might prefer to browse old logs this way, rather than someone else's or their own self hosted site. Anyway, no immediate plans to do the gruntwork of loading old logs into the db.

17:28 asciilifeform ( potentially -- for keys, too ? )
17:31 asciilifeform http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-07-11#1028121 << irc-type log to date is iirc <100MB. hypothetically a pestron could fix displayed log refs via brute fulltext search in the former (optionally)
17:31 bitbot Logged on 2023-07-11 12:04:25 signpost: the annoying bit is the references breaking, but this is admittedly probably orthogonal to pest.
17:32 asciilifeform ( that being said, the sooner htmlistic log refs are to pest msg hashes rather than local log line #s, i suppose, the better )

19:17 awt_akris This is how log links are working: https://vimeo.com/844415531?share=copy
19:18 awt_akris Clicking on a timestamp copies a pest link to the clipboard.
