10:05 asciilifeform http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-08-30#1030172 << damn
10:05 bitbot Logged on 2023-08-30 23:44:01 signpost: blog, deedbot, wot site all lived on that box
10:11 PeterL what happened, did the box die? or was stolen?
~ 2 hours 36 minutes ~
12:48 mod6 daaaang.
12:51 signpost drive died, and backup process rotted.
12:53 mod6 happens.
12:53 mod6 at least there is an old backup
13:00 mod6 need / want new parts / server?
13:01 signpost I don't think there's much use in standing it back up as it was.
13:01 mod6 fair enough, no time like the present to re-think it
13:01 signpost whatever suceeds the centralized wot oughtn't have the pitfall of guy's machine disappearing nuking the thing.
13:02 mod6 hard to argue with that, even so, what to do
13:03 signpost was anyone in practice using the old wot for anything?
13:03 signpost thing to do is keep building pest. I'm still hacking on occ when I have time.
13:03 mod6 i mean, i still know how to use it, but haven't had to use it for a while. i also like that it exists.
13:05 mod6 nice. if pest can grow into something that handles it, that'd be cool.
13:06 signpost been discussed for a long time.
13:08 mod6 sweet, i gotta catch up moar.
13:10 asciilifeform http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-08-31#1030186 << asciilifeform (& other folx) had links to it, when mentioning wot folx in vtronic context.
13:10 bitbot Logged on 2023-08-31 13:03:08 signpost: was anyone in practice using the old wot for anything?
13:11 asciilifeform but yea, the old #t wot has been afaik effectively read-only for yrs
13:11 asciilifeform there was the get-in-the-wot-and-gate-to-pest thing signpost made last yr tho
13:11 mod6 yeah, i saw some people make some updates in the last 2 years or so, but not super often.
13:11 asciilifeform iirc 1 n00b used it briefly
13:13 asciilifeform the deedbot www was also the go-to place to fetch pubkeys quickly.
13:14 * asciilifeform will need to mirror the ones he linked to. prolly good practice regardless of whether signpost digs up the backup
13:14 signpost yeah, I apologize for this. not going to be able to immediately divert attention to standing it back up atm.
13:16 asciilifeform archive.org seems to have working snapshot incl. pubkeys (tho nfi whether for all)
13:17 mod6 ah!
13:17 asciilifeform circa april
13:20 asciilifeform signpost: imho if you've spare cycles, better the pest occ than museum piece
13:20 signpost agreed
13:21 asciilifeform esp. given as the #t museum can still be viewed at above link
13:22 asciilifeform afaik the only folx who are alive, still on the net, and still using the names/pubkeys displayed in that wot, are all tuned in here.
~ 2 hours 18 minutes ~
15:40 mod6 yeah, true enough
