So I got my hands on this 1-gigabyte file which has all of the old /prog/ up to some date in august 2013:
1.4G prog-20130813130608.db
(it's 55mb when compressed)
Big thanks to the anonymous person who published this (though the original url is gone now)
I wonder if it should be shared somehow for posterity. maybe some other people here also have this file ? Somehow I doubt archive.org would want it, what with all the racist posts.
also i wrote a little python program to browse that file via a local HTTP interface
Anyway also big thanks to whoever starte /prog/rider as a resurrection of the old /prog/
BTW I wrote a little python/flask app to browse the "prog.db" file via local HTTP. It has a feature to search for a string in all posts and sort results by date, so you can find out when a meme first appeared. Optionally, you can include the original javascript and CSS from dis.4chan.org to get spoiler-tags to work and have the original colours etc. (Yes, flask probalby sucks, but this little program is useful for browsing the archive.) Hope this is useful to other people.
"What does it mean to be normal?" rhetorically asked the doctor. The doctor pounded his chest and said, "I am normal ! I am the doctor ! I am eternal !". An Indian man 4000 years ago wrote down that I am normal ! I am the doctor! he who installs .NET installs the truth. the wheel spun and several thousand dollars were contributed towards the most prestigiuous instutition prized for its cliques of suburban children. who needs god when you can install .NET ?
What does s/something/something mean? I always see it on /prog/ and Hacker News and I've been bugged by this for months but I have no idea how to Google it.
>>35 I already know that, but I don't care much about giving out some IP that changes every day. Moreover, we're not sharing anything illegal, are we?
No, this is not a ``nothing to hide, nothing to fear'' argument, I just don't see why go through such lengths just to download 1GB of ANUS and chinkspam. I can't pay a good VPS/seedbox because I don't have a credit card and I'm not sure if there are any free VPSs you can trust.
>>36 Then use I2P like I said. Unless you are willing to host your own GNUnet ECRS or Freenet Address Resolution Keys after you have downloaded it (even though I have FrozenVoid's copy).
