op.fi More errors there. Now even the login banner is invisible.
-
Sompi
Firefox also has errors on the console, but the page renders about correctly
-
Sompi
But the login prompt does not fit to the browser's viewport and scrolling is not allowed in the CSS
-
Sompi
On a 1920x1200 pixel resolution...
-
Sompi
Well, at least zooming out works
-
njsg
Sompi: "The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator." -- so this is the kind of blacklisting you sometimes get?
-
Sompi
I usually get a complete ban to the server, so that it does not even answer TCP SYN segments at all
-
njsg
looks like UA blacklisting or whitelisting. sigh.
-
njsg
with ua override I can see the login sidebar, but it's transparent
-
njsg
Sompi: uh. yeah, I can't see the top bar if UA is set to SeaMonkey (Edit->Preferences->Advanced->HTTP Networking)
-
njsg
if I set it to "SeaMonkey and advertise Firefox compatibility" I get the opaque background, looks much better
-
njsg
either that or random parts of the site are failing at random moments :-P
-
Sompi
May be anything. Firefox also gets JS errors, so it's not just Seamonkey now.
-
njsg
UA just SeaMonkey: top bar missing, some images don't load?; UA just Firefox: ... lol.
-
njsg
showed the top bar then removed it
-
Sompi
I literally cannot pay my bills anymore
-
Sompi
Should I even care...
-
njsg
SeaMonkey+Firefox at least appears to load everything in the home page
-
njsg
the transparent background might have been a transient failure, I can't reproduce that one
-
njsg
... and now it always works?
-
njsg
!?"
-
Sompi
For me it stopped loading completely
-

i have issues with some sites not dipslying sidevbars correcly unless the firefox window is full screen and i am not displaying the firefox sidebar (like to display history) I think they confuse screen resoultion with vewport size
-
WG9s
i bet they all use the smae toolkit to do the sidebar
-
Sompi
njsg: Actually I too have the same problem, it randomly just doesn't load or gives an empty document or a page that says "The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator."
-
Sompi
The webpage is just broken.
-
njsg
ok, if I test further, I'll keep an eye on the devtools's network tab, because maybe that's the problem: some requests getting that response instead of scripts/css/...

PM 64-bit to require CPU's supporting AVX - supposedly for performance reasons
forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=249944
-
therube
i'll have to peruse the linked link to see if this performance increase reasoning seems to hold water?

I can understnd discontinuing support for Core2Duos but my Xeon Westmeres still hold up very weell and even the first i5 and i7 ones in my Thinkpads are still ok. So nothing I would want to port over. Would be different if primary target is handling media stuff but it is still a browser I used for different things :)
-
therube
come to think of it,
forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=30915, so there were already AVX builds out there - which i looked at - for a moment, & not noticing anything discernible, just thought, oh, that's nice ;-),
-
therube
kind of like when a new SeaMonkey is released & someone says, "oh, it's sooooo much faster then the [older version]"
-
frg_Away
therube well now and then I nothiced SeaMonkey redering stuff smoother but most of the time it was probably just wishful thinking :) Unless media playback or some fancy graphics you rpobably won't see much of a difference with avx builds. ymmv

MattATobin
i am so so sorry
-
therube
no to worry.

MattATobin
they ain't even all that nice to you even today
-
MattATobin
they should be more nice especially seeing as you ain't no uninformed 2019 user lol

The W3565 is basically the Nehalem 55xx. I prefer the 56xx but they are pretty close. Compared to later cpus they are not as efficient but that is it more or less. Anyway Sandy or Ivy Bridge is way better and still holds up well for general use.

I am gonna be abandoning AMD next system
-
MattATobin
i have no intrest in AM5 or later industry wide amd fuckups
-
MattATobin
and amd isn't even much cheaper or faster anymore like the old days

MattATobin
just intel doesn't sell everything unlocked

Intel: we charge extra for full memory address space :-P (ok, now seriously, half of the time the computer/motherboard manufacturers are probably to blame, when they don't add, say, the required traces to allow more memory, but intel did produce some interesting examples like chipsets used in 64-bit machines that have a 32-bit memory address space)
-
njsg
therube: there *is* one issue in SeaMonkey with a number of tabs that I'd like to understand better: you need to allow tabs to shrink a lot; there's then a spot where it causes CPU load and clicking on one tab selects another
-
njsg
it's not about too many tabs, more tabs make it go away too
-
Sompi
I think most customer-grade and workstation-grade motherboard in fact have only 36-bit address bus

mrnhmath: riscv is the future
-
MattATobin
all hail riscv

frg_Away
one we will probably not see if any

Thought about buying an arm board just to ply around. Nothing on the market and what is is a price joke. risc v is not even at this stage.

frg_Away: I thought Apple Made ARM Great Again™

ironically the only ARM SoC that genuinely does not suck is... on Apple hardware, which is a bummer

tomman as long as you run macOS.

which is another bummer

Snapdragon is OK on cellphones, but a bad joke on computers

When I find some time I might set up a vm on my mac mini but even this one is hard. Virtualbox is still crap there.

everything else is either a toy, or for places where you do not really need the performance

I made an OS from scratch but it's not Linux...
