textfiles

In fairness, the toaster deserved it

Before anyone gets too heated a poptart:

While I appreciate a small post being thrown on hackernews, this is just me free speculating, not a policy or project.

Like anyone else dealing with hard drives, the archive has seen that price rise dramatically this last 18 months. It is not quite dire. A whole range of solutions are being sought out and researched. I sometimes throw out a little signal here and there to find out if donating drives to a non profit makes sense.

But I'm not sure a debate on here is going to shift the needle to the situation.

I'm the guy in the shirt!

There's a bad setting on my virtual host. I'm in conversation with the support team about getting it tuned up.

Hurrah!

Well, ASCII is a different box than textfiles.com. I suppose I could host the site on that box, but I have a rule with the original textfiles.com that no scripts are being run on it, hence less chance of hacking, etc. Someday I'll figure out the exact right setting for ASCII to not do this when a few thousand people hit it, but honestly, it is very hard to care.

Yes, I've taken a long walk and spoken with my team and I'm emotionally fine with the situation.

Classics never go out of style.

He just really, really, really committed himself.

I don't have to do anything.

Shout out to everyone in this thread who seem unable to understand a club might have three unrelated acts on, so each performance is called a "concert" under this collection. Aadam and the crew are focused on making each performance a separate entity instead of grouping them up. Substitute "performance" for "concert" if it helps.

Carry on.

Why mess with perfection?

Badlibrarian, you had a very fun run.

You got to be 30% correct with Internet Archive criticism and enjoy unfettered, sometimes problematic commentary with little pushback.

Maybe you should take what your version of the W is.

The assumptions are still pretty zesty, now you just made them longer.
