#
[tantek] the article is both a bit odd in places, and yet touches on a lot of problems exacerbated by the whole "screenshot posting" culture, not just screenshots of text
#
[jgmac1106] yeah missed that angle...and how some people rely on these netowrks for their income

#
Zegnet I have been staring at code I do not understand for too long now
#
[jgmac1106] What's your strategy for when this happens?
#
sknebel Zegnet: explained it to a duck already?
#
Zegnet My usual strategy is to get up and get a fresh cuppa

[Rose] I like interactive rubber ducks. Thankfully my colleagues are quite helpful.

[tantek] thread: read from the top (this is a deep reply) https://twitter.com/chrismessina/status/1100249984560173056
#
@chrismessina @lsanger @rrhoover @evanpro @t Anyway, I wouldn't discourage you from giving it a shot — though it sounds like you're not proposing working on it personally. I just want to understand what's different about your approach from what's already been going on w/ Mastodon, Diaspora, et al. (twitter.com/_/status/1100249984560173056)

#
[cleverdevil] Fun. Saw in my website analytics that there was a significant amount of traffic hitting a dead article that I must have missed in one of my many migrations.
#
[cleverdevil] Found the content on the wayback machine, pulled it in, created a 301 redirect from the old permalink.
#
[cleverdevil] Content restored!

#
[tantek] [cleverdevil] were you able to investigate wayback machine to figure out *when* the article died?
#
[cleverdevil] Yes
#
[cleverdevil] It died only a couple years after publish.
#
[cleverdevil] It was being linked to from the Python.org documentation
#
[tantek] could you determine from that *which* of many migrations lost the article? and any notes about what you did (or didn't do) in that migration?
#
[tantek] just curious in case there's a pitfall worth documenting
#
[tantek] has been in a migration documentation mindset recently
#
[cleverdevil] 🙂
#
[tantek] is actually still there
#
[cleverdevil] There weren't really any pitfalls, and "migration" isn't really the right word.
#
[cleverdevil] Basically, I allowed some older sites just to die.
#
[cleverdevil] This article didn't get migrated because I just straight up missed it.
#
[tantek] as one of a set of things missed? or the migration technique somehow neglected it?
#
[cleverdevil] Basically, I downloaded contents from the wayback machine to restore to my new site.
#
[cleverdevil] I then manually published posts back to the new site.
#
[cleverdevil] I just accidentally skipped one.
#
[tantek] ah, manual iteration. yes

[kevinmarks] I adapted spiderpig to check archive.org too, but if the page isn't reachable by links from the site it's harder. I think archive has a 'pages found on this domain' query
