| foobarry | upgrading my firefox .. | 09:31 |
| foobarry | i have noticed a difference recently. since for a long time 50 tabs was the max i could use | 09:32 |
| Laney | not looking forward to losing vimperator | 09:34 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:34 |
| MooDoo | just upgraded my firefox, well impressed so far, they were right it's a lot faster | 09:36 |
| foobarry | gonna buy a nosebag for disgusting eater in the office | 09:40 |
| foobarry | have 126 tabs running in my ff 57..lets see how it goes | 09:41 |
| TwistedLucidity | ARG! FF 57 has killed some of the most important addons! FireGestures is no more. :-( | 09:43 |
| foobarry | i only really have evernote clipper and ublock | 09:43 |
| TwistedLucidity | I've been using gestures for years, can live without it | 09:44 |
| TwistedLucidity | Yay! FoxyGestures is the new FireGestures. | 09:44 |
| foobarry | https://bookmarkos.com anyone tried thsi? | 09:47 |
| foobarry | don't like the square tabs | 09:56 |
| foobarry | in ff | 09:56 |
| TwistedLucidity | That's the Windows way. You can have anything you like, so long as it is square and flat | 09:58 |
| foobarry | whats windows? | 09:59 |
| TwistedLucidity | I actually dislike this whole "flat" trend. It can make hard to see where one window/frame/section/thing starts and ends. | 09:59 |
| TwistedLucidity | foobarry: Windows is the defactor industry stanard. Where it leads, you will follow. OBEY THE BEAST OF REDMOND! | 09:59 |
| TwistedLucidity | *de facto | 09:59 |
| TwistedLucidity | The "hidden" scroll bars in KDE drive me up the wall. The float over text meaning it can be hard to select text under them. | 10:00 |
| TwistedLucidity | So FF57 follows the MS style guide even in GNBU/Linux? | 10:00 |
| diplo | TwistedLucidity: You won points last nigt for luci program, thank you :) | 10:03 |
| TwistedLucidity | diplo: Huzzah! Glad it worked | 10:03 |
| TwistedLucidity | Yeah, the separate the front-end and back-end. Which is kinda nice, when one remembers.... | 10:04 |
| diplo | heh yep defo, I'd never used it before, searched for ages for the package, my google foo sucked | 10:07 |
| diplo | Going to try upgrading to lete tonight probably | 10:07 |
| SuperMatt | I'm looking forward to running the updates on my machines, so I can remove my manually installed copy of ff57 | 10:27 |
| TwistedLucidity | Gadzooks! FF57 and landed in KDE Neon. | 11:20 |
| diddledan | I've switched my default browser to ff57 to see if I can live with it | 12:39 |
| TwistedLucidity | Install FoxyGestures. <3 me some gesturey goodness | 12:43 |
| m0nkey_ | diddledan: how are you liking 57? | 13:22 |
| diddledan | pretty nice | 13:22 |
| SuperMatt | I've been using it since it was in nightly, and it's so fast it bought my crummy laptop back to life | 13:23 |
| m0nkey_ | :) | 13:23 |
| m0nkey_ | Don't have it on the work laptop yet as it's running ESR | 13:24 |
| m0nkey_ | but i do have it in a VM. even in the VM it's damn fast | 13:24 |
| m0nkey_ | fater than what 56 was with only 2GB RAM | 13:24 |
| SuperMatt | absolutely | 13:29 |
| SuperMatt | and container tabs are a thing of beauty | 13:29 |
| foobarry | what are container tabs? | 13:30 |
| SuperMatt | essentially they're "containers" which have different cookies | 13:32 |
| SuperMatt | meaning you can be logged in to the same site multiple times | 13:32 |
| SuperMatt | or you can do what I do | 13:32 |
| foobarry | oh tahts nice | 13:32 |
| SuperMatt | I'm logged in to facebook and google in my "personal" container tab, but browse the rest of the web in the "default" container tab | 13:33 |
| SuperMatt | This means that sites don't know I'm logged in to facebook | 13:33 |
| SuperMatt | It's different to private in that the cookies are still remembered | 13:33 |
| m0nkey_ | hmm. where do i find this container tabs feature? | 13:50 |
| m0nkey_ | nvm. found it | 13:54 |
| SuperMatt | container tabs are the killer feature which will keep me with Firefox, unless Chrome can do it and more | 13:56 |
| m0nkey_ | I'm totally going to start using this. | 14:04 |
| SuperMatt | It's so awesome, right? | 14:08 |
| SuperMatt | really it's the feature that FF should be pushing above all else in this release | 14:09 |
| diddledan | you didn't tell us where you found it though | 14:13 |
| diddledan | please think about those of us that were waiting for the answer and didn't ask because you did | 14:13 |
| SuperMatt | https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ | 14:20 |
| diplo | Just installed this myself, trying to see how it works | 14:49 |
| m0nkey_ | diddledan: google it :P | 15:14 |
| awilkins | Oooh, that's shiny | 15:59 |
| * awilkins creates containers for each Amazon account | 15:59 | |
| awilkins | AWS MASTEH | 15:59 |
| daftykins | diddledan: i killed another drive today, it had an old 12.04.5 install on it so i dd zero filled it from the booted OS :D got to watch the journal fail and be disabled | 21:38 |
| daftykins | nah i jest, it had 24 bad sectors before i started | 21:39 |
| * zmoylan-samj3 remembers the good old days when you had to type ib the supplied list of bad sectors to novell before it would prepare the drive :-) | 21:41 | |
| daftykins | crikey | 21:41 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | cheaper drives had long long lists... my boss was cheap... | 21:42 |
| daftykins | they provided you with the manufacturer-known bad sectors and you had to avoid them by hand? ugh they just got into the firmware eventually | 21:42 |
| daftykins | P-list and G-list, production and grown | 21:42 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | this was before ide with controllers mounted to the drive esdi, rll drives | 21:43 |
| daftykins | ah yeah, so the OS was talking directly to the motor - or was there still something between? | 21:43 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | duct tape and hope :-) | 21:44 |
| daftykins | err mobo side controller would exist surely | 21:44 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | massive expansion card with 2 cables iirc for esdi to talje to drive obe for data, one for motor control | 21:45 |
| daftykins | O_O | 21:45 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | i once made the mistake of wiring one up correctly and ruined 3 days plus weekends of novell preparing the drive | 21:46 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | it was meant to be wired incorrectly, silly me | 21:46 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | now it's all hot swap raid with your namby pamby wishy washy cloud backup... :-) | 21:48 |
| daftykins | :D | 21:50 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | and the old timer at that time complained about us sending drive back... in his day they'd send an engineer to repair it on site | 21:51 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | or attempt to. multimeter to check the boards, desolder and replace if that was problem | 21:51 |
| daftykins | hahaha, how big were those drives then, still fill a hamster cage? | 21:51 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | 5mb drive for cpm computer was full height. think 2 5.25! bays filled with one drive | 21:52 |
| daftykins | ah yeah | 21:53 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | we used them as door stops. they were indestructible | 21:53 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | should have kept one to make a sledgehammer... | 21:53 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | 10mb were 3 years later and half height. so size of cd rom drive | 21:53 |
| daftykins | cor - and now here's me tossing dead multi terabyte ones | 21:55 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | and i remember a cpm machine brought in with a sound card... music files were midi as no space for real audio | 21:56 |
| daftykins | haha :D i still remember having to sellotape in the RAM on the creative labs AWE32 | 21:57 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | sir clive and his blu tack salute you o> | 21:57 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | about 4pb contains the library of congress... a.c.clarke said mid century... we're getting there | 21:59 |
| daftykins | a clients house was so hotly heated today, my Yorkie melted! | 22:37 |
| === leecowdrey__ is now known as leecowdrey | ||
| zmoylan-samj3 | i seem to remember in wwii hersheys in america made a bar that xould be carried in pocket in tropucal climea without melting... of course even by american chocolate standards it wasn't nice | 22:57 |
| daftykins | :D | 22:57 |
| zmoylan-samj3 | american dwarf bread... :-P | 22:59 |
