[07:45] firefox tab separation doesn't seem to have achieved anything. whole browser still freezes :( === foobarry_ is now known as foobarry [07:49] Stop going to whichever site is causing it to freeze then [07:49] I haven't had firefox freeze on me for yonks [08:06] its random [08:06] Morning all [08:16] Plugins issues foobarry ? I like SuperMatt don't have any freezes on a sub par laptop. Maybe try a fresh profile and see if that helps ? [08:16] I run the 64bit version though if that makes a difference [08:16] thats the thing [08:16] the profile needs purging every now and then [08:17] its a pain [08:17] Something's wrong with what you're doing [08:17] stop doing that [08:17] 50+ tabs? [08:17] I never do mine :) [08:17] thats work innit [08:17] I rarely have that many in Firefox, more like 10-15 and then I start closing them [08:17] wasn't there a tool to copy the useful bits to a new profile and clean it up? [08:17] I'd probably say that's more of the issue than anything else. [08:18] the sqlite dbs get munged up [08:50] morning boys and girls. [09:05] Cleaning urlclassifier3.sqlite done -18.56 Mbytes [09:05] Cleaning places.sqlite done -16.31 Mbytes [09:05] Cleaning formhistory.sqlite done -.12 Mbytes [09:05] profile cleaner doing its thing [09:06] Profile(s) for firefox reduced by 43.93 Mbytes. [09:08] Can't say I've ever looked at something to do that [09:08] I do run ccleaner occasionally and that's about it on my windows box [09:09] https://github.com/graysky2/profile-cleaner [09:10] Good morning all! Hapy Friday, and happy Hairball Awareness Day! 😃 🐈 [09:11] Cheers! [09:12] tempted to just link to smellycat and say I'm done :D [09:12] JamesTait: ^ [09:13] davmor2, Tom Jones? [09:13] What's New Pussy Cat? [09:13] JamesTait: Smellycat is funnier [09:13] *hack* *hack* *wheeze* *splat* [09:15] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5bBKsH0s5E [09:19] JamesTait: only song I can think of that mentions a hairball [09:20] Good job, davmor2. ☺ [09:37] davmor2, how could I have forgotten Ed Balls Day? :-O [09:37] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNAsdUUwGP4 [09:38] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=28&v=Czqtjk_iGFU [09:42] davmor2, he's a lot better than I'll ever be! [09:44] JamesTait: put a smile on my face and I don't watch it, my wifes aunt pointed it out to me but I do like awilkins too but he beat me to the song :D [09:44] We're doing well on the video front today. [10:28] sigh, deleting slack channel messages 100 at a time... [10:41] can't be done in one fell swoop? [10:45] * davmor2 hits the button to trigger global thermal nuclear war to kill all the slack channels.......there easy :D [10:48] found a tool on github to do it [10:49] you can only delete 1 or 100 messages at a time. [10:50] If corp ever decide to delete my team's slack channel, they're going to send a lot of time going through animated gifs of kittens [10:51] we are realising rather late than #general is bad [10:51] when you want to add the users you abused at a later stage [10:52] or lets say the inappropriate comments about eating noises [10:57] slack are gonna have to change their pricing model , its ridiculous [10:58] SuperMatt: hahahahahaha [11:17] tried that new thunderbird theme shown on omg [11:17] with a few tweaks, its nice [11:17] I'll just keep on using google inbox [11:18] it works exactly how I need an email client to work [11:18] on an always-on desktop at work, tb seems to give a more tangible feel to mail [11:18] * davmor2 hugs claws mail [11:19] TBH, I think email needs to go the way of the dodo, but figuring out something to replace it isn't easy [11:21] http://imgur.com/a/kULXz [11:22] SuperMatt: yeah that is the problem, twitter/facebook/G+/slack/telegram...... all do a job but none replace email it still lives on because nothing beats it hands down [11:23] email's biggest advantage is it's biggest disadvantage too, the fact that it's decentralised [11:26] SuperMatt: and any client can plug into it because it has a standard that rarely changes [11:29] indeed [11:29] but the issue is, as show by email, by decentralising you have to come up with a robust verification method [11:45] Slack are like facebook - turning PHP and MySQL into bank [11:45] http://www.infoworld.com/article/3191210/cloud-computing/why-slack-cant-slow-down.html [11:46] Oh : http://www.infoworld.com/article/3191210/cloud-computing/why-slack-cant-slow-down.html [11:46] oops [11:46] http://www.nhsbuntu.org/ [11:50] that looks like a gateway to hell [11:50] While I agree that the NHS using Ubuntu would be great, if it's a fork rather than a spin, they're going to end up with a security nightmare [12:06] this is fun: https://scotthelme.co.uk/nomx-the-worlds-most-secure-communications-protocol/ <-- hint it isn't [12:39] diddledan: renamed to "nosec", "nowork", or "nouse"? [14:04] winner winner, chicken dinner: https://youtu.be/d_S9YsD9Y0c [14:18] errrmmmm.. don't they do building supplies? === layke is now known as Guest50576 [18:20] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_S9YsD9Y0c [18:20] XD ace video from Dave at EEVblog [19:08] I've shared this before, but https://github.com/veorq/oee [19:08] daftykins: I already posted that at 15:04:25 [19:08] tis like two lines (of real talking) before you [19:09] oh wow so you did [19:09] he's a jammy devil eh? [19:27] what's happening in the bananas right now? [19:27] apparently something big has gone wrong [19:28] which diddled fruit is that? [19:28] it's an island [19:28] bahamas? [19:28] yeah, bananas [19:31] Theresa is moaning that European countries are being unified. almost like they're in a union! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-labour-supporters-general-election-lend-me-their-vote-brexit-success-eu-tory-leader-a7706096.html [19:33] "they're ganging up against us!" [19:33] where us is you, i mean [19:33] it's not a problem, they can just dump the cost of brexit on the poor people... and spare the bankers... [19:36] zmoylan-pi: worked for trump and his wall [19:37] he should make a bid on the chinese wall and see if they'll deliver... [19:39] seriously? have you not seen what the chinese wall keeps out?! https://youtu.be/6SKI9rgqFck [19:43] they really don't know how to not whitewash a movie do they? or is it ok to whitewash if there's a big wall in it? [19:45] ooh Ubuntu 12.04 went EOL today :) [19:46] there's a milestone [19:46] yup [19:46] old place of work _finally_ shut down their 12.04 box yesterday [19:46] they went right up to the wire, right?! [19:49] typical! [19:50] so they replaced it with a system running xp then? :-P [19:50] they've been rolling out 14.04 - I think they finally realised they should move that rollout onto 16.04 rather than finish it [19:51] hahaha [19:51] I really don't understand why people are so afraid to change stuff [19:52] years and years of updates breaking things? [19:52] must be due to how much the wheel gets reinvented i suppose [19:52] i think i went from a 10.04 VM straight up to 14.04 last - quite some changes in how apache's configs are laid out :> but not so big in the grand scheme [20:43] i have 2 centos 5 boxes that aren't built with puppet. its a pain to migrate the service and have lots of other things to do [20:43] so much to do, so little time [20:44] when its quite complex apps that are painful to migrate and usually provide reliable service, its hard to do it [20:44] you just say, just another week [21:45] diddledan: oh i have an amusing tale for you, prepped an old PC from a friends workplace for his wifes art gallery... popped the can and vacuumed it out etc, fired it up - oh look 14 bad sectors on the disk [21:45] grabbed a spare 320GB laptop drive of mine to toss in, oh look bad sectors :D [21:45] dodgy chip? [21:45] third time was the charm though [21:45] nah really was the disks [21:45] aah [21:46] I was getting errors spewed to the console on my xenserver box. swapped-out the cable and moved the drive to a different sata connector on the mobo and it appears stable now [21:46] \o/ [21:47] has gone several days where prior it was breaking after a few hours [21:47] * diddledan tests it now [21:47] yup, still working fine [21:48] they're a pain those, i usually snip and bin the SATA cables regardless [21:49] they're nice and cheap these days [21:49] yipyip, i just get by on spares from mobos and that too [21:49] that Dell and its' proprietary power one scuppered me though - http://i.imgur.com/keppJK0.jpg [21:49] aye, new mobos coming with 2 or more cables is nice [21:50] Asus were quite rude with mine and only included 2 :< [21:50] Z170 board too [21:51] that looks like a sata data plug [21:51] I hope it's not the same shape [21:51] "I'll just plug this into that drive's sata port" *bang* [21:52] ah it's the mobo end on the right that's the devil, the middle is just a teeny tiny for a slimline optical [21:52] Dell seem to have moved to putting laptop style drives in to make their cases smaller [21:52] aah [21:52] so that doesn't come from the PSU? [21:53] nope! mobo [21:53] weird [21:53] the PSU is some teeny tiny jobby that hs funky connectors too [21:53] I thought the point of ATX was to get rid of proprietary crud [21:54] best part? 5 phone transfers with Dell and some guy looked it up for me, the code on it there was no use to them [21:54] the guy then said "yep that'll be £38 please" [21:54] wat?! [21:54] (had to buy a second to drive an SSD as well as the disk inside) [21:54] yip! [21:54] ended up finding one on ebay from Latvia for £12.50 [21:56] someone's been watching i-robot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5V_VzRrSBI [21:56] it's elon musk's "the boring company" [21:57] never did see that [21:58] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqfs9yJALyc [21:58] that's irobert [22:01] :D [22:01] hehe this is an oldie perhaps but i missed it - https://www.troyhunt.com/content/images/2016/02/46624661SNAGHTML3928683.png [22:01] wtf?! [22:08] https://www.troyhunt.com/reckon-youve-seen-some-stupid-security-things-here-hold-my-beer/ [22:10] i'm on the Betfair one XD [22:25] daftykins: so. that strawberry.net. it is still like that [22:25] :D looks fun [22:27] wordpress emails new users their password [22:28] daftykins: I just loaded this: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/qqnDCXsf/ [22:29] :O eatmon sounds like a pokemon [22:30] diddledan: you can self-gift them!
