  Ugh.
• 03:30
  IsambardPrince
  Yes, just what I needed. Something that summarizes things and injects errors into the summary.
• 03:30
  IsambardPrince
  Thank you Google.

  Does blocking JavaScript with NoScript block WASMs?
• 06:34
  IsambardPrince
  On the old version of NoScript that works with SeaMonkey?

  javascript.options.wasm false: case closed.

  tomman
  another blackout, another forced restart
• 15:47
  tomman
  ...and Yahoo AR came back kicking out Wikipedia EN
• 15:47
  tomman
  next thing I'm going to try: zap search.json.mozlz4 and start over (I did got rid of the legacy search.json)
• 16:50
  frg_Away
  Current 2.53.18b1 pre should support ffmpeg 6 so please try: wg9s.com/comm-253
• 18:03
  tomman
  another blackout-forced restart
• 18:03
  tomman
  this time I tried the nuclear option: kill that search.json.mozlz4 and start over
• 18:04
  tomman
  However, MercadoLibre doesn't offer a search provider anymore (not surprising, since they suck), how do I make one?
• 18:10
  tomman
  ...and more importantly, how do I install it? (looks like it's just some XML)
• 18:11
  njsg
  in the before times when it was all in a directory, I'd say put it under searchplugins
• 18:12
  njsg
  tomman: there are some plugins listed in mycroft for it too, so if that's an option you could try installing from there
• 18:12
  njsg
  mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html?name=mercadolibre
• 18:17
  tomman
  njsg: OK, that one could do
• 18:17
  tomman
  of course with the wrong icon :D
• 18:18
  tomman
  wait, the icon is now correct after I added it
• 18:18
  tomman
  yep, that works, thanks~!
• 18:18
  tomman
  now let's see if the whole enchilada sticks for the next restart

  the world is strange
• 20:13
  therube
  had a bunch of stuff open, nothing stood out, & was simply closing some tabs/windows & she hung.
• 20:13
  therube
  only using 2 GB RAM so nothing out of the ordinary. CPU @ 12%, fan spinn...
• 20:14
  therube
  ah, & it just cleared itself. all i can say is, the world is strange.
• 20:14
  therube
  for a moment there, thought i was going to have to kill it.
• 20:14
  njsg
  cleared as in got unhung?
• 20:15
  frg_Away
  therube probably garbage collection. Happens now and then.
• 20:15
  njsg
  is there any built-in way to print markers "starting GC", "GC complete"?
• 20:16
  therube
  yes, unhung.
• 20:18
  therube
  took about 3 minutes actually (to unhung)

  Garbage collection in a userland application like SeaMonkey could potentially have perverse interactions with the operating system's VM system if swap space is in use.
• 20:35
  jonadab
  As it might cause inactive stuff that's been swapped out to be swapped back in just so it can be garbage collected.
• 20:36
  jonadab
  Combine that with a swap file on an NFS-mounted filesystem, and you could have some real fun times.

• 23:20
  tomman

• 23:20
  tomman
