[10:12:32] does anyone have any background on: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Obsolete:Offsite_Backups_(old) ? [11:26:54] jynus: apergos would know I guess ;) [11:27:06] hmm [11:27:09] * apergos clicks through [11:27:30] iirc the idea was to send wikis XML dumps to various places accross the world in case of a disastery somewhere [11:27:41] nope [11:27:43] including all of commons pictures ? [11:27:52] this was when Tomasz owned the dumps for like 5 mins there [11:28:59] there was this public datasets thing but I have the impression that amazon was still going to charge people money for doing work with those datasets [11:29:07] it never went anywhere [11:29:34] I dunno anything about the commons images [11:30:06] that was back in the day when one could talk about copying off all of commons and not sound totally ridiculous [11:30:19] :]]] [11:30:57] The total allotted space should reach upwards of 10T's in the next months just imagine! [11:31:31] of course those were the days when all media was on one filesystem too [11:31:37] rsyncable etc [11:50:47] "when one could talk about copying off all of commons and not sound totally ridiculous" [11:51:46] * jynus looks at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T262668 [12:34:31] apergos jynus https://bash.toolforge.org/quip/CeuMBHYBhxWNv8gIH35N [14:34:43] heh [14:35:20] backups is one thing, and bundles per wiki is another, and rsyncing all of commons to some third party mirror is uh nope :-D [14:35:57] although if we really want to be playing by the cc rules we ought to make it easy compared to 'and download each original yourself one at a time' [14:36:01] but that's a topic for another day [14:36:14] for me, anyhow :-D [15:46:12] FYI all i have updated PCC to use python3, please let me know if you see any issues
