| SuperMatt | what's new y'all? | 10:16 |
| brobostigon | new or not so new, more paperwork. | 10:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | so much for edisons dream of a paperless office... :-) | 10:59 |
| diddledan | ello ello | 11:52 |
| diddledan | https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/10/17218512/youtube-hack-despacito-vevo-music-videos | 11:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | hacking the videos is just wrong... how will the trolls dispense their usual hate and bile when the video changes? | 11:59 |
| czajkowski | anyone seeing FF become very slow recently on Ubuntu ? | 13:38 |
| SuperMatt | nope | 13:38 |
| czajkowski | doingf the same search on FF and chromeim and pages timing out on FF | 13:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | i have seen firefox showing this page is slow messages more as of late... | 13:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | but then i run the most ancient of hardware :-) | 13:39 |
| daftykins | if you've been through a number of upgrades, it never hurts to have a good profile clear-out | 13:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | i usually wipe laptops from scratch to avoid cruft | 13:40 |
| czajkowski | true true | 13:40 |
| czajkowski | it's becoming painful and unuseable this week | 13:40 |
| czajkowski | Version 59.0.2 (64-bit) | 13:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | 59.0.2 (32 bit) told ya :-) | 13:43 |
| daftykins | czajkowski: mmm move your ~/.mozilla i think it is and try afresh, see if it miraculously behaves | 13:48 |
| * zmoylan-pi currently downloads 64bit xubuntu for a new computer... | 13:49 | |
| daftykins | what's 'new' to zmoylan-pi? ;) | 13:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | €209 when i got it... http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/6734514/Trail/searchtext%3EHP+WINDOWS.htm | 13:55 |
| daftykins | ah yes... those | 13:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | if i can get it running linux it'll be good enough for me... :-) | 13:56 |
| daftykins | i wonder if it'll be one of those hellish 32-bit EFI implementations | 13:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | has resisted booting of my trusty 32bit xubuntu so far... so grabbing a 64bit iso atm | 13:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | lot of gobbledegook in bios relating to tpm i've never seen before... | 13:58 |
| daftykins | mm TPMs are pretty moot for most use-cases | 13:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | my gut instinct when i see something i've never seen before is to blame it... :-) | 14:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | upto now, to install linux, enter bios, disable uefi, disable secure boot. instert usb key, turn on... | 14:01 |
| daftykins | there's absolutely zero reason to avoid EFI | 14:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | i like a good old fashioned bios... :-) | 14:03 |
| daftykins | it's typically emulated now so often buggy, it's actually less likely to work | 14:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | good enough when they came along a few years after i started using pcs... :-) | 14:03 |
| daftykins | often fighting new standards gets you burnt in one way or another though | 14:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | if it doesn't just work then the new standard is crap... :-) | 14:10 |
| czajkowski | daftykins: ho would I do that? | 14:13 |
| czajkowski | daftykins: ie move ot to there? | 14:13 |
| czajkowski | where | 14:13 |
| daftykins | czajkowski: in a terminal, mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-old | 14:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | just rename it i suppose? | 14:13 |
| daftykins | then reverse them to revert back | 14:13 |
| daftykins | zmoylan-pi: on those cheap machines they tried to screw over anyone dumping Windows by doing this whole 32-bit EFI thing a lot of the time, not sure if it *is* the case with that model - but we saw it a lot | 14:14 |
| daftykins | standard 64-bit EFIs didn't give as much grief, though some were still hardcoded to look for the windows boot image etc of course | 14:14 |
| daftykins | not had any trouble with kit i've used though, oddly | 14:14 |
| zmoylan-pi | thanks for the heads up daftykins, i like a challenge... and a reason to hold a new grudge against ms... >:-) | 14:14 |
| daftykins | if you buy cheap, you kinda deserve the hassle :D | 14:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's kinda why i went with hp. as often as they've annoyed me they're generic enough to work the way i want | 14:16 |
| czajkowski | daftykins: ahhhh | 14:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | speed difference? | 14:18 |
| daftykins | i think that was just the initial eureka :) | 14:20 |
| czajkowski | zmoylan-pi: nope diddly squat | 14:20 |
| czajkowski | baffling | 14:20 |
| czajkowski | and annoying as all my work stuff is done on FF | 14:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | or now buried in adverts and popups... :-) | 14:20 |
| daftykins | could still be a DNS element to it | 14:21 |
| daftykins | are you at home on a domestic broadband service, or? | 14:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | is system faster in chromium? | 14:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | 64bit xubuntu boots live in a few seconds... \o/ | 14:28 |
| daftykins | but will it boot once installed to eMMC :D | 14:28 |
| zmoylan-pi | that's to discover later... have to pop to shops for a wifi usb drive i have a coupon... :-) | 14:29 |
| daftykins | wifi... wat | 14:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's a sandisk usb drive with a batter and wifi. you can run an app on android and ios and copy/write/stream data to them. handy for when you want to send a few files to/from a mate with ios and can't otg them | 14:31 |
| zmoylan-pi | because a usb drive with a lightning connector is more expensive | 14:32 |
| daftykins | ah i saw lightning connector + USB A SanDisk flash drives in the airport | 14:32 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 14:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | so wifi it is :-) | 14:32 |
| czajkowski | daftykins: at home on A&A but works fine on all other browsers | 14:44 |
| czajkowski | jst odd it's behaving so badly on FF | 14:44 |
| daftykins | oh right | 14:46 |
| daftykins | czajkowski: might not hurt to try changing the proxy setting, in Firefox settings, from auto -> to no, although i don't see that having any bearing | 14:47 |
| czajkowski | daftykins: ah may try that | 14:47 |
| czajkowski | thanks | 14:47 |
| daftykins | np :) | 14:47 |
