Operation: Rebuild /comfy/ !! Anon Board volunteer 12/29/2022 (Thu) 08:05:32 No.34

ITT: We all rebuild /comfy/ together! First things first; we have a raw archive of /comfy/ saved from back in June 2022. There are five, ~500MB pieces to it here:

https://anonfiles.com/jbBaT9O0yb/comfy.7z_001  (524.29MB)
https://anonfiles.com/82IeXeO5ye/comfy.7z_002  (524.29MB)
https://anonfiles.com/Q6SbY0O7y6/comfy.7z_003  (524.29MB)
https://anonfiles.com/w6qba0P1yc/comfy.7z_004  (524.29MB)
https://anonfiles.com/BcY7a9P3yc/comfy.7z_005  (496.87MB)

Download all 5 archive files into a single directory, then they'll need to be reassembled together again. -For UNIX, you can concatenate the pieces together thus: cat comfy.7z.* > comfy.7z Then, expand the full archive out locally: 7z x comfy.7z -For Windows, just use the 7zip program (it deals w/ multipart, ie '.001' files, automatically) --- The basic order of business here is for you, Anon, to download and reconstruct your own local copy of the archive of /comfy/ to your local machine. This consists of thread directories with their raw HTML & JSON files. All the associated media files for any given thread are under it's 'media' subdirectory. These are the raw original files, as provided by anon.cafe to the /robowaifu/ BUMP software over the Internet, and organized by threads. The simple idea here is to work through the old board, thread-by-thread, post-by-post, restoring both the texts of the post, as well as the files (images, etc.) themselves for that post -- by hand. It's a tedious, autistic process (and it's also how we rebuilt /robowaifu/ after the 8ch debacle). If that sounds like something that you'd like to be a part of then sweet! Sign up right here & now Anon! :^) >tl;dr We need anons to manually copy paste these old posts/images back onto /comfy/ again! Just pick a thread from the archive, start a new thread here for it, and begin working away. Simple as. Also, pay careful attention to relink the old crosslinks/quotes to point to the new post's numbers instead. Hopefully, someone might eventually devise an appropriate automated mechanism to: parse through these files and either a) convert the entire thing "into a LynxChan 2.5.14 database" (>>>/meta/16085), or b) walk through the archive material as-is and post it here in an automated fashion (ie, with a custom bot). Who knows? Till then, we must work by hand with what we have. If you know of a thread you wood really, really wood, like to see restored (and you're also willing to work hard to accomplish it) then Just Do It! :). No point in crying over spilled milk Anons, this is what we have to work with. It's way, way better than nothing so let's all roll up our sleeves together and rebuild the board we love! Copy Paste Restorers FTW Gambatte!!

Flood detected, wait X more seconds.

Not comfy when you're working on rebuilding a thread.

Anon Board owner 12/31/2022 (Sat) 09:21:25 No.1160

Wondering if rebuilding the old post here when you visit /comfy/ breads worth it. What about just starting on the fresh one that already exist here ? Same for the how's life going ? threads. Let me know.

Anon 12/31/2022 (Sat) 10:17:05 No.1166

Sleepy /LATE/ anon reporting. Probably wont be a lot tbh, but I should at least do something for my second most visited board. Will do what I can during my spare time. Oh and Happy New Year /comfy/! <3

Anon 12/31/2022 (Sat) 11:32:15 No.1167

>>1160 I'm kind of split on this. Maybe recreate them but lock them?

Anon Board volunteer 12/31/2022 (Sat) 12:03:04 No.1168

>>1160 My position is that we should of course recreate them. Do as this Anon >>1166 says and lock them if you'd like. But they are definitely a charming part of /comfy/ lore IMO.

Anon 12/31/2022 (Sat) 12:05:38 No.1169

>>1151 Hmmm. In my experience that generally habbens here on Anoncafe only if you are in fact posting duplicate messages in short-order. Maybe you were doing over one that was messed up or something? >>1166 Welcome /late/! Thank you for your service! :)

Anon 12/31/2022 (Sat) 12:12:15 No.1172

>>1160 Another idea might shrimply be consolidation. For example there multiple 'when you visit', and also music threas as well. A board reboot is the literal perfect opportunity to consolidate a few old threads together IMO.

>>1166 Thanks for joining in sleepy anon. >>1172 OK if we go for reviving them, we should try to merge them in one thread.

Anon 12/31/2022 (Sat) 13:03:27 No.1179

>>1179 Go for the music, maybe you should merge it with the existing one here >>45 I will work on the visi threads lately as I have still things to do IRL rn.

Anon 12/31/2022 (Sat) 13:47:56 No.1199

>>1193 Will do. It's important that each consolidation thread be handled by a single Anon, I think. Otherwise things will come in out-of-order. This isn't necessarily a problem from a technical sense, but it may be more challenging to the restorer(s) to re-quote/re-crosslink with things changely out of hand.

Anon 12/31/2022 (Sat) 15:39:23 No.1299

>>1193 OK, that's got the two other music threads: Comfy_music_0000798 Chill_Music_0000921 merged into (>>45). If I missed something music-oriented, someone please let us know ITT, thx.

>>1299 Nice job anon. I see someone working on the How was your day thread >>1300 I was wondering at first if we could merge it with the post here when you visit comfy but after looking at it it's a better way keeping them separate. also less work for me when I will finally work on the post here... threads Keep it up guys !

>>1339 >The last BO flipped the table and left in a huff. I don't think we can say that for certain. All we know for sure is that the board suddenly vanished without a word, AFAICT. The rest is shrimply conjecture at this stage. The main point is to focus on maintaining a healthy & comfy environment here on out. Our new BO seems to care and for that we can all be thankful. We wish the former BO well and hope he's OK right now. >>1342 In fact we do have a new BO, Anon. (>>>/meta/16091) --- Let us all be grateful for everything we have anew this coming year.

Cheking in, let's restore those Post Here...

Anon 01/01/2023 (Sun) 21:53:25 No.1370

>>1369 I start with the third thread as it is in the archive. I see the second one is still reachable here https://web.archive.org/web/20201124060427/https://anon.cafe/comfy/res/1239.html#2361 so maybe I will work on it later (altrough lot of images missing).

Anon 01/02/2023 (Mon) 22:56:32 No.1834

>>1370 Done. Was quite long due to the quantity of post and being autist trying to respect the original mardown and having to find some images manually as they were not into the .7z archive. Start the fourth thread.

>>1835 I'm happy to have finally finished it. Thinking there are still 2 threads to do frightne me a little. If someone want to work on >>1836 drop a word and I'll lift the lock. For the moment I have things to do IRL, will come back at it later (maybe in the night).

Anon Board owner 01/03/2023 (Tue) 01:28:42 No.1954

I am wondering... Should we rebuild the old threads Post Here as they were archived by ex BO anyway ? Could we not focus on the last one Underwater Edition instead ? I will focus on this one untill you give me your opinion on it guys.

Anon 01/03/2023 (Tue) 04:24:23 No.2228

>>1954 OK the current thread is here >>1956 merged with the new one. I deleted the one ythat was open just after the reobenning. I feel I worked hard on these threads. Hope you'll enjoy friends.

Anon Board volunteer 01/03/2023 (Tue) 13:36:30 No.2243

Hi BO. Well it's been 7 days since our successful reboot of our board began. I'd guess that things have settled down to more normalcy again. Therefore might I suggest you consider unlocking our dearly-beloved story series active thread; that is if you think we're ready again? >Traveller and Genet Season 2 (>>376) >cf. (>>485) It probably bears some looking after for a while as well, just to see our friends safely back on their journeys! :)

Anon Board owner 01/03/2023 (Tue) 14:15:52 No.2247

>>2233 >You probably appreciate all the hard work of others more than most now I never underestimated the work done by all those involved. And again, thank you berry much for taking part in the operation Rebuild guys. >unlocking Genet thread #2 I was wondering the same, seeing it locked is definitively not comfy. Also I wood like to have your opinion on >>1954. Should we bring back the olds Post Here threads ? If anons really want them back, I will take some time to work on them tonight.

Anon Board volunteer 01/03/2023 (Tue) 16:31:41 No.2255

>>2247 >seeing it locked is definitively not comfy. It seemed the best route to keeping one of our most cherished thread series safe while we were both busy rebuilding the board. Now it can be looked after better. >Should we bring back the olds Post Here threads ? Yes, IMO so. OTOH, they can be merged into one and locked if you think that's suitable ofc. But they are certainly a strong part of the historical lore of this, one of the Internet's most iconic boards. >tl;dr Yes. :)

Anon Board owner 01/03/2023 (Tue) 17:06:53 No.2259

>>2255 hehe that's my opinion to. Was just lazy thinking of the work that still should be done. Anyway I got some free time tonight :) >merging Will think about it, it may be more convenient. Also, old BO leaved a message >>>/meta/16109

and now /late/ is down.

Anon Board owner 01/04/2023 (Wed) 00:31:32 No.2613

Post here when visit /comfy #3 and #4 finished and merged. Will continue with the #5 in >>1371 so we'll have all those nice posts in one place. Although being some bretty monotonous work it's bretty interesting reading again all these posts, it really gives the vibe of /comfy/. Eberry newcomer should lurk them a bit. Don't hesitate to give me feedback if I did anything wrong.

Anon 01/04/2023 (Wed) 01:28:40 No.2617

>>2613 Great work! No I haven't spotted anything wrong, in fact you've been exceptionally diligent. Much better than me haha. :^) Yes, it forces you to get close with the history of a board thay way. >>2559 A /late/ meetup thread has been created here by Anon. You can find them here (>>1512)

Anon Board volunteer 01/04/2023 (Wed) 01:31:54 No.2618

>>2613 BTW BO, we have a backup of /late/ for the same. Jun 2022 period as here, should it ever be needed.

Anon 01/04/2023 (Wed) 04:17:38 No.2624

>>2618 If you woodn't mind me asking, for how many boards did you keep backups? Hope will never have to rebuild /late/ yes

Anon Board volunteer 01/04/2023 (Wed) 09:03:58 No.2627

>>2624 About sixty or seventy. BUMP's intentionally designed to be efficient (more than say, a basic wget or curl command wood be for an imageboard), so it's quick thereafter once the initial base archive is created. Once I saw how fast it worked on refresh updates, I was "Ehh, let's get a bunch of them, just in case". Usually in just a handful of minutes I'd refresh them all (I used a simple Bash script + Cron Job to pull them down one-by-one automatically).

BO, roughly-speaking, we as a board are in large part back on our feet now. If you think it's justified, I'd suggest you unsticky this thread before long. --- Also, sadly it looks like /late/ may be offlined. (>>2653) I've confirmed that anon's claim it's not responding. It's currently still in the DNS, but no response from a server. :/ I'd suggest we join them in their meet-up thread here and talk ideas out with them BO. Having a friend in your corner can be a big emotion boost when your IB goes down. >threads-related >>>/shelter/4286 >>>/meta/16116

>>2656 The /late/ meetup thread was open by me, as I am myself an user of this board. I really hope they'll come here to drop a word as all their blogs are offline right now and the mail address I wrote to is on the late.city domain (so probably offline to). >meta/16116 not found

Anon 01/06/2023 (Fri) 09:45:03 No.2670

>>2668 I understand. Yep, looks like Anoncafe took the /meta thread, as /shelter/ is actually the correct location typical of such 'disaster-recoveries' on the Internet. We're obviously close neighbors with both /late/ and /kind/ so a thread here was entirely appropriate (as with our friends at /kind/ putting us up for a couple of nights). I'd suggest you approach them with the idea of rebuilding their board with our archives of them. If it seems a favorable idea they are inclined to all work hard together towards, then I'll maka another multi-part archive available on anonfiles. Then together we can all go as a delegation to /meta, to request they host /late/ here on anon.cafe instead. Eberryone already here has good favor towards /late/, and that will be a good point in favor for the Admins of our site here, I think. Sound good, BO?

Anon Board owner 01/06/2023 (Fri) 10:06:45 No.2671

>>2670 I was thinking of asking to open a /late/ board on the cafe as a last resort, yes. But as I don't have myself any contact with /late/ admins I cannot take any decision at this point. Maybe lets wait a little bit more for some news on their part. I woodn't start to rebuild /late/ if they're just offline temporarily. In the case /late/ is really dead, we may think about it seriously but I really want first to have some words with them. If anyone can reach them (I see they have a discord but it seems dead to >>2650) and I don't use it myself and can gives update it wood be really appreciated. They wanted to open an IRC channel but the board vanished before it. In any case, keep the archives preciously as it may be useful in a past that I prefer wood just be a sad hypothesis.

Anon 01/06/2023 (Fri) 10:20:03 No.2672

>>2671 >I woodn't start to rebuild /late/ if they're just offline temporarily. Ahh. Good point, BO. I suppose my desire for compassion towards them (remember, we had to bring our own board back from scratch too) is making me get ahead of myself. >In the case /late/ is really dead, we may think about it seriously but I really want first to have some words with them. Good thinking. >If anyone can reach them (I see they have a discord but it seems dead to >>2650) and I don't use it myself and can gives update it wood be really appreciated. Sorry I'm not your man, either. I personally refuse to use Doxxcord on moral grounds. >keep the archives preciously as it may be useful Will do. Just like the others, it's a part of our heritage that needs to endure.

Anon 01/10/2023 (Tue) 14:17:51 No.2987

BO here. Just noticing by toggling the cyclic option on the thread "archives of the old post here" and adding new posts I deleted the old ones. Man, I'm so upset rn... I... I will re-re-build them, I promise. But this time, no merging as it has broke the things... Man... Come on...

Anon 01/10/2023 (Tue) 18:32:25 No.3103

>>2987 Yes, it's the nature of a cyclic. It's intended to keep a thread's post count under a set limit, in /comfy/'s case that's 500 posts. As you probably know now it's the first posts that were slid off the thread. The last 500 are fine. Sorry I wish I could have warned you if I'd known. Thanks for all your efforts, BO.

Anon 01/10/2023 (Tue) 18:51:01 No.3136

>>3103 No problem. Just back at it rn. I just learned the hard way what cyclic does... I really feel like a goober as it's clearly stated in the modration manual. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
