[12:37] <zxm-pi> allo allo
[15:28] <jlj> o/
[15:48] <zxm-pi> \o
[16:29] <daftykins> good early eve to all \o
[16:30] <daftykins> what a beautiful day here, regret heading out wearing trousers...
[16:30] <zxm-pi> if covid has taught us anything it's that pants should be optional :-P
[16:31] <diddledan> the freebsd install process is evil: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/fosdem/2021/stands/freebsd/freebsd_video2.webm
[16:32] <zxm-pi> firefox upgraded itself a week ago and refused to work since. wouldn't redraw until i moved the window. fun playing with firefox to coax it back to life
[16:33] <zxm-pi> using chromium for a week reminded me why i prefer firefox :-)
[16:37] <daftykins> The fox can do no wrong!
[16:38] <daftykins> it truly disappoints me how much i usee normals using chrome as their daily driver
[16:38] <daftykins> -u
[16:38] <zxm-pi> it's the new internet explorer but eviler
[16:39] <diddledan> at least IE didn't sell you out
[16:39] <zxm-pi> it did bend over backwards to the evil hackers on the internet
[16:40] <daftykins> it did make up for that with a cup holder feature though
[16:40] <zxm-pi> mine came on 5.25" disks. not a good coaster
[16:43] <daftykins> a pal has been showing some frustration toward Firefox of late, only for him to discover he's not on the stable release channel xD
[16:44] <daftykins> diddledan: i might give Andy a prod about the site, as i figure if he's content with it as-is it must be about pay time - unless they've done so already?
[16:44] <zxm-pi> i even tried the quantum version in the snap store. fantastic, fast. but doesn't download.
[16:47] <daftykins> won't touch those formats personally
[23:01] <daftykins> lol, been playing with the firmware modified camera... i just went to eject the microSD card and it flew across the room somewhere, i now have no idea where it is
[23:08] <zxm-pi> a good cf card would have made a nice clunk when it landed :-P
[23:08] <daftykins> :D
[23:08] <daftykins> i feel like i heard a very specific metallic *ding* that this grille on a speaker makes when things tap it, but i can see nothing around there
[23:09] <zxm-pi> what i do in these situations is use a torch to shine on a spot and use that to run search pattern around floor to cover entire area. allows you to focus on one small spot
[23:10] <daftykins> *nod* must be some furniture / equipment moving in my future in addition to that
[23:11] <zxm-pi> and micro sd is small enough that it will slide into gap between carpet and skirting board
[23:11] <daftykins> D: don't tempt fate! :D
[23:11] <zxm-pi> so finger tip search to see if you can feel it
[23:11] <daftykins> *slice*
[23:12] <daftykins> there's only one small section of carpet on the staircase of my place... naturally the cat always manages to target it when unwell
[23:12] <zxm-pi> it's genetic
[23:12] <daftykins> came home today to find more additions with grass in, truly skilled that one
