COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Collection: ArchiveBot: The Archive Team Crowdsourced Crawler

ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).

To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.

ArchiveBot's source code can be found at https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ArchiveBot.

Timer Objects in Python

Last Updated : 28 Jun, 2017

Timer objects are used to represent actions that needs to be scheduled to run after a certain instant of time. These objects get scheduled to run on a separate thread that carries out the action. However, the interval that a timer is initialized with might not be the actual instant when the action was actually performed by the interpreter because it is the responsibility of the thread scheduler to actually schedule the thread corresponding to the timer object.

Timer is a sub class of Thread class defined in python. It is started by calling the start() function corresponding to the timer explicitly.

Creating a Timer object

Syntax:

threading.Timer(interval, function, args = None, kwargs = None)

Create a timer that will run function with arguments args and keyword arguments kwargs, after interval seconds have passed. If args is None (the default) then an empty list will be used. If kwargs is None (the default) then an empty dict will be used.

# Program to demonstrate 
# timer objects in python 
  
import threading 
def gfg(): 
    print("GeeksforGeeks\n") 
  
timer = threading.Timer(2.0, gfg) 
timer.start() 
print("Exit\n") 

Output:

Exit
GeeksforGeeks

Explanation: The program above, schedules gfg() function to run after 5 seconds of interval since start() function call.

Cancelling a timer

Syntax:

timer.cancel()

Stop the timer, and cancel the execution of the timer’s action. This will only work if the timer is still in its waiting stage.

# Program to cancel the timer 
import threading 
  
def gfg(): 
    print("GeeksforGeeks\n") 
  
timer = threading.Timer(5.0, gfg) 
timer.start() 
print("Cancelling timer\n") 
timer.cancel() 
print("Exit\n") 

Output:

Cancelling timer
Exit
