batsov.com/articles/2021/11/28/firefox-is-the-only-alternative of course, people NEVER mention alternative browsers

UNLESS they're Chrome skins

"Supposedly today we have a lot of browsers to choose from - Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, etc. Having choices is a good thing, right?"

let me rephrase that: Chrome, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Chrome, Chrome, Chrome, etc.

also, the guy completely neglected to mention the REAL reasons Firefox went down the gutter

"Firefox losing its status of a shiny new thing over the years."

that's what a webdev would say

no user ever said "oh, my web browser could benefit from a coat of glossy shiny"

the same might apply to laptops, I guess

/msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER sealogbot 2riENRyKshEH1D7l

I suggest you choose a new password :D

that's not a password

one-time key, I think?

damn, that's the combination of my luggage!

oops

sorry did hthis incorrectly

actually bad registration verification email when you copy the string form the email it contains a space before the /

don't worry, the CIA/NSA/KGB/FSB/GCHQ/CCP/Kim/FAANGs/MANGAs/bored 12yo "hacker" teens at Eastern Bumcrapistania/Jeff Bezos' secretary already have your private keys, and even copies of the keys of your gun safe

I'm pretty sure the 'VERIFY REGISTER' password is a just an activation code; the password is provided beforehand with REGISTER <nick> <pass> and its security depends on whether your IRC connection is over TLS.

FoxMcCloud45: that was my thought so why do they send an eamil out with the plaintext password and require you to send it back in plain text to verify

seems to my like a lot on uncrypted passwords going across the internet for no apparent purpose!

WG9s: Well, it's just a code they send you to verify your email address in order to make sure it exists, is joignable and is the user's address...?

Most websites do the same thing for verification; a verification URL is just as insecure as a "plaintext code".

no the verification link they send out includes the palin text password and they require you to replay with that included

9n an unencrypted email

I'm pretty sure it's not a password...?

is this how nickserv works or is this a libera.chat stupidity?

You type your password upon REGISTER only; the code you get through e-mail is only used once to verify your email address

You don't use the email's code for SASL or NickServ IDENTIFY

FoxMcCloud45: the email they send back includes your palintext user name and requires you to send it back to verify

it has the username and a verification code, the code is a one-time code

Yeah, the nickname itself is in the email

since i already changed the passowrk I will post the email here

Not sure why they ask it back but afaik the email's code doesn't log you in

Fox hmm i must have messed up more that i thought they nither sent nor asked for the passord not sure now what I accidently posted and where I copy-pasted badly form

looks like it was all my fault

when you registered that account you probably had to provide an e-mail address

and then they require you to verify, you probably got an e-mail about that

verify the e-mail address, that is

yes I thoujgt what I accidently posted was something I copied and pasted from that email but I went back and found it and it was not

please just call me stupid and ignore all i have said on this subject

My background is in IT security and I find I should think something is wrong ad do an alert before determining it was my fault is the better approach. better to alert on a false alarm than to miss something important.

but that is jut my opion, I could be wrong! (appolgies to Dennis Miller)

looks like WG9s is still throwing a babybitch fit about anything and everything.. I merely was an excuse cause today it is nickserv's verify code

such an angry personality

NewTobinParadigm: am an op on this site so I could ban you so I would pick your iaaues more carefully.

this isn't a site.. it is an irc channel

FU i am ignoring you

i thought you did that already

no i should have but tdecided not to

when you pointlessly iprouted me to hell on your personal website for no reason

so angry

NewTobinParadigm: same reason\

I don't GO to your personal site nor would I do the same for you for petty reasons. I suggest you do as other suggested and calm down.

NewTobinParadigm: good news it is almost my birthday whn I annualy revoke any such bans and hope pople become more reasonable

So because your unverified claims of things I wasn't doing wasn't successful in silencing me all you can do is ban someone?

And you freak out about something unrelated and when commented on you have to curse and get super mad?

WG9s: Might want to target yourself as someone who needs to become more reasonable.

Hello, with support from this group, I managed to compile the current version 2.53.10 for CPUs that do not understand SSE2 instructions. Thanks once more. A german description and the binary is on my homepage. hiereth.de/programm/2007sm.html. In principle, a translation in English would be possible but would need proofreading by a native speaker. In seamonkeyde.wordpress.com/202

0/06/23/seamonkey-ohne-sse2-kompilieren/comment-page-1/#comment-2240 , the is a link towards the page. In case anyone here thinks that these information should be spread wider, mention a place where somebody might search for it. Please ignore that my computer is a fossil. I know it :-)

mlh85386 Did I tell you yet that your computer is a fossil :D

mlh85386: well done

mlh85386: awesome~!

retrocomputers FTW

I should try building SM someday...

frg_away: maybe something like that. But he ignored it as well and continues doing his jobs.

maybe if we force people to use fossil PCs, we would find a cure to software bloat

and not just "buy more MHz/download more RAM"

tomman: just a couple of days ago, somebody updated the description how to build SM: seamonkey-project.org/dev/code-development

the oldest machine I run here is my routerbox

a 1997-vintage Pentium MMX

the capacitors are on its last legs

but here is she, trucking along~~~

tomman I am fond of not so ancient Westmeres. Just reassembed another X8DAi which I got cheap for testing. Great board and still a milestone after 11 years. Just a spare I got cheap but still running my backup server on one with Server 2016 and Opensuse 15.3.

my TV box is a Northwood P4 on a IBM ThinkCentre M51 chassis

once again, back when IBM meant Built Tough™ and not "Made of Chinesium"

mlh85386: (SeaMonkey) | Tools | Translate... ;-)

the rube: I did not know that. But Google did not ask me about the desired language. Therefore the output was as german as the input. Probably it works when used overseas.

therube: In fact. Having an English text, this menu item translates into German. Therefore, I shall be free to write any documentation in Bavarian dialect. Google will help the Germans, the French, the Americans, anyone ..

Fwiw mozillabuild 3.4 seems to be ok for building under Windows ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-3.4.exe

Just a minor bugfix release.
