A bit off topic, but I figure a number of us are interested in this older "social
media" mechanism.
https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/10/yahoo-is-deleting-al…
So if you subscribe to any Yahoo groups, or value any of that content, be sure to archive
it before your friendly telco sends ALL of it to the bit bucket.

Groups are already jumping ship. The popular destination seems to be groups.io, which has
some good features.

Yeah, it sucks. The Tomy Tutor users group has been there for years, and I
guess we'll jump over to groups.io. I managed to archive everything last
night.

What's your strategy for archiving material off YahooGroups? Their Files and
Photo (photostreams) sections are so heavily Javascript-encrusted that it's
not at all easy to bulk archive from them. I tried a few tools (httrack, wget,
curl) with no valid results, but I only used some basic settings.

There is a now

sucks the files down.? I saw elsewhere in the thread there may be
scripts to scrape messages, will look at that.? Downloadthemall sees the
string of crap after the file name, and apparently it comes down with
the correct file contents and file name.? I just downloaded it one
directory at a time, because DTA doesn't do a recursion in any way.
I have an old set of perl code which I used in 2016 to grab several
groups in their entirety, and now need to get from there forward.
The thing that happened pre-Verizon was they rolled out a mangling of
the groups code called "neo" which still remains in the URL. They killed
the original code most tools could scrape groups from by turning off all
but the neo type site.
Grabyahoogroups.pl is the code FWIW that did work.? I'm glad someone
found something if it works with the messages.

If it is old enough, could it be that the changes for "NEO" broke it?

Amusing that requiring repair technicians having ability to "solder metal"
was one of the major problems.
The USUAL progression from 8" floppies was to 35 track (later 40 track)
single sided (later double) FM single density (later MFM) 48tpi (later
96tpi) 5.25".
But, an easier conversion would be straight to "1.2M", which would need
few hardware changes other than a custom cable.
(In fact, the first Mitsubishi 1.2M drive that I got had a 50 pin
connector; later 4854s had a 34 pin connector)
But, why not cards or paper tape?
Or, if they want to expand speed and capacity, ST506, or even ST412.
They could go to thumb drives, such as Stuxnet
Or, was the main goal to give it a publicly accessible IP address?
("War Games" is playing on MPLEX right now)
Besides convenient recreational Facebook access for staff technicians, why
is web browsing implemented on MRI control computers or on WOPR?
BTW, the superceded drives and media will remain "classified" until they
crumble, and our surplus channels will not get a sudden major influx of
available media.

I set it up with python 3.7.3, pip installed the required modules such as
Selenium, installed geckodriver for Firefox (but I don't run Firefox on this
machine, I use a popular fork) and it emitted an error that referes to Selenium
not being the correct match to Firefox.
I have other things to do so that's where I left it for now, will try it out
again sometime soon with an earlier actual Firefox.

12:51 a.m.
have been reasonably successful, after making a few mods, in backing up Yahoo groups using
a clone of "Yahoo Group Archiver" which broadly works (but see below) and
doesn't need any scraping tools.
I made a few tweaks concentrating on speed rather than documenting the code and the
current mess is here:-
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ag4BJfE5B3onleMG29vMs5czmPcoTw?e=TrqawF
The script yahoo.py is supposed back up things to files. I couldn't get use the
user/password login part to work, but noted scripts also have support for putting the
cookies in the command line.
So I downloaded cookie manager for Firefox, logged into Yahoo and added code to set the
values at the top of the code. The result is "yahoo1.py" Its pretty obvious
which cookies are needed.
I found this fails on unnamed photo albums. I also found file download flaky. So Yahoo2
will fix photo albums with duff names and skip downloading any existing files.
This leaves one bug. If a download fails the script may leave an empty file. If you want
to restart that download you need to remove it before restarting the download.
Sometimes Yahoo barfs at a file because updated av/malware scanners mark its as bad. E.g.
archives which contain "netcat" In this case leave the partial download in place
and allow the script to skip
We also don't get file descriptions.
I am running the scripts on Windows/10 on Python 3.7.5 on Windows/10 and use
"py" to run the scripts
When installing the required "requests" package (see the readme.md) I found I
had to enter the full path to pip (Its it the scripts folder)
I am happy to answer any questions but note I am in the UK (that is East Pondia not the
University of Kentucky) so please allow for my time zone.

The groups are
free as long as you use less than 1GB of storage. More
storage costs. Unfortunately, since this past February, you also have
to pay in order to have Groups.IO do the moving of your messages, files
and photos. No freebie for that anymore.
That explains it. BTW: is February when
Yahoo first announced the shutdown of Yahoo Groups? Just wondering....

I saw a posting about this on one of the groups I am
in (XXCopy) and it
seems as if groups.io is not free. At least there was talk of a $110
payment.
Groups.io has a free level. But, if you subscribe to "premium" for one
year ($110), then they will do the transfer for you.
