davefHuh, so Nvidia and Samsung git breached recently. Fun times.19:45
zxmpiand they're just the companies that have admitted to being breached.19:46
davefi'm sure there's more to come19:55
zxmpialmost like and bear with me here you shouldn't put stuff you want to keep secret on public network :-P19:56
daftykinshehe19:58
daftykinsi've got to have a meeting tomorrow with my pal and these guys that are pushing hard for using AWS for this thing, but they sent us a proposal document and i've genuinely never seen a worse piece of work that is allegedly made by adults in my life19:59
zxmpieveryone else is doing it! it must be safe!20:00
daftykinsthey drew a diagram of how they imagined it working - and threw on a bunch of federated login stuff that doesn't even apply to our setup20:01
daftykinsto me it reads like someone trying to wow you with terms and hoping you won't attempt to look them up yourself20:01
zxmpitake out your buzzword bingo card and cross off the jargon used at the meeting :-P20:03
daftykins\o/20:05
daftykinsi've managed to get them to shunt it back a bit so i can chat to my pal and explain just how terrible it is before we speak to them20:05
zxmpi...and if any of them say blockchain so help you you won't be rsponsible for your actions :-P20:06
daftykinsit'll be good there's the English Channel between!20:10
zxmpiwow, what market share does firefox have again? https://www.howtogeek.com/790234/firefox-97-is-under-attack-update-now-to-protect-yourself/20:23
davefI use FF20:24
zxmpisame but it's a pretty niche brower at this point20:24
davefand that makes me sad20:25
daftykinsme too - and i'm sad about it too20:26
zxmpimozilla seems intent on driving away their userbase with every change and not seeing any new users for their troubles20:32
daveftbh, I've been giving MS Edge a good poke and it's doing a darn good job. I just saw today it now support picture-in-picture for video, something I used often in FF.20:36
zxmpii usually have 3-4 browsers on the go at any time and switch between them for certain sites/addons/features. currently firefox, chromium, vivaldi, midori20:37
davefI've been using Edge as my primary browser for work, I've quite enjoyed using it.20:39
daftykinszxmpi: you get his legs20:43
zxmpii'll get my hacksaw... :-P20:51
daftykinshmm, takes a while to get through ankles though20:52
zxmpiit's all about the speed. fastest amputation had a 300% casulty rate. done in 12? seconds. patient died, man holding him down( no anaesthetic) died from infection when doctor cut off a few of his fingers and an onlooker died from heart attack.20:58
zxmpisomething i always remember when people talk about the good old days20:59
daftykins<man without fingers> i have 3 bones to pick with you, Doctor!21:00
zxmpi //looks at inflamation around wound// i'll meet you next week21:02
davefMS Edge works great on Ubuntu :-X21:25
zxmpii have heard that. i'll never know :-P21:59
daftykinsbut you'll be left wondering 'what if', forever on the edge of your seat...22:02
zxmpiafter using ms software from late 80s to early 00s i'm confident in my decision :-)22:24
