The full Paleoclimatology archive is now just under 200GB. A tar file of the entire Paleoclimatology FTP site weighs in at 121 GB, and when gzipped, the resulting .gz file is about 75 GB. We periodically create these .tar.gz files to be permanently archived on tape media, and as it turns out I created the current version yesterday. It will be in the Paleoclimatology FTP folder until the tape ingest is confirmed, so that would be an easy way to download the entire archive if you wish.

It looks like the address for that zip is ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/paleo_climate_qual_r20161214.tar.gz and has an md5 at ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/paleo_climate_qual_r20161214.tar.gz.md5

The backups are internal to NOAA/NCEI, maintained by the Archive Branch in Asheville. It is intended to be permanent storage.

If you've had to re-associate your virtual machine with vagrant, but vagrant ssh now requires a password to connect, this is because the ssh key associated with the box disappeared. You can still get in with the password vagrant (usually), but many workflows will need the automatic connection.

Here's how to regain public/private key authentication to ssh into your vagrant virtual machine:

Run vagrant up, then vagrant ssh-config to find the IdentityFile:

$ vagrant ssh-config
Host default
  HostName 127.0.0.1

The goal is to search for tweets from people I am following in a specific time period:

t followings | xargs -n 1 -I TKTK 't search all "from:TKTK archive OR archives since:2015-06-22 until:2015-06-28"'

Here's my understanding of what I typed:

t followings : generates a list of people I am following on Twitter https://sferik.github.io/t/. Sample output is as follows:

Number 17: the homepage as a clock

Parts:

  • post custom meta for scheduling ( begin, end )
  • posts sortable by scheduling ( if begin is not the post publish time )
  • homepage
  • homepage outputs posts in useful format without js
  • homepage outputs posts in useful format on mobile
  • progressive enhancement on large devices: the clock of posts appears, showing now and the post currently active
