Greetings bookfags!

All the files I've tested seem intact and I don't think we lost anything except a few jpegs. Feel free to test yourself and report any corruption but I think we're good.

I'm going to refrain doing any board edits until tomorrow but I will try some uploads in this thread.

I'd like to thank Ron and everyone for all their hard work piecing the site back together. Sounds like it was a fucking nightmare.

/pdfs/ might want to have an organised bunker or archive of some kind. Among all the refugees I saw people constantly asking about where to post books. Even if it's just sticking everything on mega and agreeing on a board to share links, we ought to have some kind of backup.

I've been thinking about this but I don't know what service would be best. I forgot to ask Codemonkey if he could tell us how large /pdfs/ is in GB. Mega has a 50GB free account, after that you have to pay a sub which I can't afford atm. Also I have no way of batch downloading whole threads so for me it would be a really lengthy process of downloading individual files and then re-uploading them.

I still think it's a good idea to have a back-up, I just wish we had done this when /pdfs/ was first started. If we're going to do it then it might be best to start a list of all the most important books on the board, or maybe just start uploading the books from the 1st General Thread somewhere and go from there. idk.

Does running threads through archive.org, or any other archive, save the files? Also I was on Nextchan /polk/ the other day and some there were interested in moving all the files here over there somehow which is good.

It'll be a logistical nightmare moving every all at once, or even to one place. Finding something that was in any one thread or another will be a real pain without a copy of the thread itself to serve as an index. Perhaps the slow compilation of several folders by category would make more sense. Esoteric, agriculture, weapons,etc.. That's obviously a bigger project than can be hoisted on one man, so maybe we should hash out some way for anon to help. Honestly a wiki would make sense format wise but there's no way it wouldn't get nuked, hosting issues aside.

As for a place to stick backups, what about bittorrent or irc bot? I know there are a couple of similar (#bookz being an example) irc channels, not sure where they host at, but it's something proven to be within anon's budget and capabilities. ftp on someone's romanian vps, maybe?

Syncing from the start would have saved so much headache, but I honestly thought this place would linger like 7chan has throughout the ages, but that's looking less and less likely, or even desirable depending on how you feel about sunshine and Jim's japanese track record. Can't really blame anyone for being too trusting in that regard, we all fell for it otherwise there'd already be a backup.

I don't think archive saves files, just the links to them. Even if they did we'd cross any file limits they'd have. I've got some hang ups about nextchan, would rather see them moved to .pl or something but that's a thread unto itself. Interestingly there's a pretty active book thread on meguca right now.

Archive.org censors things. It just deleted the popular 308 file archive of all of WLPs radio programs….

Yeah that sounds like a better idea but I'd need help like you said.

Here's the thing, I've never used irc before and I've never published my own torrent. I'm sure I could work it out but it might take a bit of time for me to familiarize myself with them and test it. It's probably not that hard, I've already started looking into it. I never knew books were a big thing on irc.

>depending on how you feel about sunshine and Jim's japanese track record. Can't really blame anyone for being too trusting in that regard, we all fell for it otherwise there'd already be a backup.

I'm really glad for all the work the admins put into rebuilding the site. I can't thank them enough. These past few days I've been thinking about what to do about owning this board though. The hacker has started dropping IPs of /b/ mods. I don't think he'll drop mine but who knows. I don't even know if I'm covered if he did drop mine. Whatever. I'm just really concerned about it and still thinking.

>I've got some hang ups about nextchan, would rather see them moved to .pl or something but that's a thread unto itself. Interestingly there's a pretty active book thread on meguca right now.

Yeah I went pretty much everywhere during the downtime. The meguca thread was where I got this >>5686 along with a few other Jung books I didn't have. That reminds me, we need a Jung thread. I've no idea what the status of .pl is, is it being worked on? I emailed the admin about claiming /pdfs/ but I got no response. I still own endchan /pdfs/ btw.

>>5714

ffs.Old BO mentioned it in a few threads for archiving purposes. I guess I'll have to scrub those recommendations.

Once we've got a place to drop files anon will probably be on board with dropping them into a respectable sorting system.

> I never knew books were a big thing on irc.

Until the last four years or so it was the biggest place for them, lot of normal sites have popped up since those days but it's still a huge resource.

>I've never used irc before and I've never published my own torrent

You're right it's not hard, but make sure you've done your reading before making a move since you can dox yourself on irc if you did something like hop on without a vhost. Torrents are pretty simple, but I think anon is a little more leery of them.

>I've no idea what the status of .pl is, is it being worked on? I emailed the admin about claiming /pdfs/

It's up and running, the admin is polish so I'm assuming can only be found during polish hours. Mods over there say he's pretty approachable on irc whenever he's awake, not sure how often he checks the email. I've got no issue with making endchan the bunker since you've already got it. Maybe look at the demographics and figure out which bunker has the biggest /pol/ population and just side with that.

>I'm really glad for all the work the admins put into rebuilding the site.

A lot of good was done here, but it seems to be nothing but bad news lately. I'm not ready to jump ship entirely yet, but this whole thing has definitely made me more weary and hammered home the fact we can't rely solely on 8ch. If you're concerned tell your ISP you've got security concerns and need a new IP, usually they'll oblige if you're not asking for one all the time.

Ok, I'll be doing some looking into irc then. Based on numbers it will probably have to be .pl for a bunker. I really like Endchan despite the autism there and I've been posting there for a year now, but .pl seems to be where most people go in the event of some downtime. I'll try again to claim /pdfs/ there but I don't mind if someone beats me to it.

The hacker decided not to drop any more IPs which is good. Apparently his exploits still remain but I'm confident CM is on to it. I'm not going anywhere either, I still love 8chan. I might start logging in through Tor when it works again. I've not tried it yet but some people on /sudo/ say it's broke.

I'm unstickying the thread but I'll leave it float around for now.
