01:03:46 so yeah tomman hi.. ionos is pretty nice so far 01:03:51 like the real deal 01:04:14 meanwhile bluehost still wants my ssh password even tho i said they could just override it 01:04:20 like a ritual 01:04:23 consent 01:04:34 i am not a fan 01:05:03 meanwhile I'm trying some Python sorcery to bypass Ad-Shield anti-adblocking toxins without resorting to installing client-side adblockers 01:05:10 this is war, and by $DEITY I'm gonna fight it! 01:05:20 besides they are just gonna say iptables was misconfigured and they fixed it and i bet it is busted internally after that 01:05:36 tomman: Good for you! 01:05:39 i mean that 02:43:26 ...and that didn't worked. Turns out the Ad-Shield suckas do not really like being fooled with fake/empty scripts 02:43:55 so whoever suggested that idea of blackholing their domains into a custom server returning empty content... nope, that won't work anymore 02:43:57 BUT! 02:44:13 I did found a userscript that MOSTLY works on SM/Greasemonkey 02:45:16 it still redirects you to error-report.com at the very end because the userscript tries to defuse the confirm() trap by throwing an Error()... but Ad-Shield is too clever now for that, and it catches the error forcing a redirect :/ 02:45:39 And... you cannot override window.location anymore, because the advertising/malware industry abused that 02:46:00 at least I can just hit back and read the page undisturbed 02:46:03 so close! 03:14:05 i guess i should get some more rest .. i have a big day ahead of me.. ugh.. 09:05:10 khanlawman: why do they even want "the ssn password", did they literally ask for that? 09:06:12 it may be on their infra and so on, but... wouldn't the state of the art be to ask to add their public key temporarily? 11:07:30 What's going on?? I just had three cycles of .... 11:07:31 Quote 11:07:33 End of netsplit. 11:07:35 End of net reconnect. 11:07:36 End Quote 11:07:38 cycling through ... then logged back in here. 11:07:39 Is that something wrong at my end?? With the irc chn?? Something else?? 11:07:41 What's a "netsplit"?? 11:29:50 O.K., after checking the logbot I don't see any listings for the "netsplit"/"net reconnect" entrise .... I guess they were something on MY side! 12:35:31 same here. Netsplits now seem to occur frequently here. 12:36:12 They do not show up in the logbot 13:21:31 Large enough netsplits tend to hang cZ, but yeah, they're getting frequent lately 13:22:35 pale moon's performance has went to shit in the past few releases? Are they sabotaging again? Cause it is doing that classic stutter shit with nothing but webmin open.. 13:22:52 you know common glitch when you fuck up the code in a mozilla application 13:23:00 been happening off and on for decades everywhere 13:24:20 tomman: what is it the sheer flood of parts and joins? 13:24:58 I haven't pinpointed the exact number, but anything over "a couple dozen" will trigger the "script not responding" warning (and causing me to timeout) 13:25:09 that is not surprising 13:25:27 there are inefficiencies everywhere new mozilla changes are introduced 13:25:42 and chatzilla has NEVER been actually good 13:25:49 it was just handy in a suite setup 13:27:14 it would make MORE sense to do a new UX with new features and scripting and rebase on chatcore 13:28:18 let me put it another way regarding chatzilla 13:28:33 IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM 13:28:38 so do i :) 13:28:43 but here we are~ 13:37:31 Maniel: a netsplit is when the connection between IRC servers is somehow severed. You may not see all users, and some protections may apply to avoid giving operator access to channels which existed before the netsplit started 13:37:53 in networks with "services", this also means that the services are likely on one side of the netsplit, so you may be unable to use NickServ, ChanServ, &c 13:38:39 netsplit indications are not shown at all in logbot probably because it shows only messages, so I guess it doesn't even get to the point where there's something it could show 13:39:48 these days some IRC networks are small enough that there is just a single server or there's at least not a big network, but the protocol is distributed, and larger networks, where libera.chat is included, have servers over the globe 13:40:44 this for network route issues, when a netsplit is an intentional severance, one half of it may get named after the server which was left on the other half (*Eris-Free* network) :-P 13:44:08 tomman: when you get the not responding message, do you get a pointer to the source code? 13:44:46 Hi from netcat!!1 13:45:39 wb d|vzilla \o/ 13:45:48 d|ver: a strange game, the only winning move is to PONG 13:50:36 * d|ver -> BOING BOING 13:51:12 that one over netcat is probably more challenging :-P 13:54:10 an Auto-IT script that send PONG keystrokes every 15 secs ;) 14:14:03 https://classic7.lol/ 14:18:07 "it's the real Windows 7 Explorer, but running on top of 10" 14:21:59 yeah 14:22:19 this isn't new 14:22:23 in concept 14:22:30 i can run nt4 explorer on win2k 14:23:01 nathan at toastytech had his 98lite which used 95's non-IE explorer on 98 14:23:15 I want to run NT 5.0 or 5.1 explorer on 7, also replace the new common dialogs with the older ones. any tool for that? :-) 14:23:17 cool they are still a-doing it tho tomman 14:23:21 err d|ver 14:23:43 (and while the Windows NT 5.1 setup qualfiies as a tool, please don't suggest that, also by 7 I actually mean NT 6.1, I won't be using that on 7 most of the time... 14:23:59 njsg: it has been done but post-IE explorer before vista was a bitch and that was the point microsoft knew people did this 14:24:14 but I want 64bit 14:24:43 why would you want earlier IE based explorer? 14:24:46 it fuckin sucks 14:24:49 it always did 14:25:43 d|ver: how old are you? 14:25:52 1971 14:26:11 then you should remember how fucked ie integration was 14:26:37 Program Manager and File Manager that's the ticket! 14:27:41 2000 was peak windows... but I need 64bit 14:28:06 windows 2000 was the most visually consistant and polished version of windows ever released 14:28:15 since 3x 14:28:22 including nt 3x 14:28:54 Windows 7 was closest to matching that out of the box perfection but vista era windows is NOT visually consistant 14:29:14 it had at least three UX eras running 14:29:31 aero, xp era, and remements from chicago 14:31:42 I happily quit my job as PC tech/admin in 2007, exactly before Vista came out 14:31:57 plus there were only two ACTUAL issues with vista on release.. drivers not being ready.. and vista used a less stable version of the xp era memory manager .. windows 7's was redesigned.. vista sp1 stablized it and driver support came.. it just needed another year 14:32:06 worked 2 years in greece and since then only software dev :) 14:32:29 the third one of course wa sthe vista capable program where they shoved vista basic onto xp machines 14:32:39 but we don't talk about that 14:32:41 LOL 14:34:26 NT 6.1 already had a lot of messing up in the UI 14:35:18 aside from paint and wordpad getting the ribbon ui.. it was identical to vista except asthetics were slightly altered from bold blue and green with some yeller to just pale blue 14:35:45 notably explorer completely abandoning more consistent toolbars and trying to achieve some sort of integrated design for visual effects, as well as icons for some reason lacking a "not too big nor too small" size in some settings, and explorer-like windows for a lot of stuff that used to be in control panel applets 14:36:28 that all was started long before vista happened 14:36:39 we're talking neptune activity centers here 14:36:55 all stemming from that 14:37:15 colliding with the last deaththrows of IE integration 14:37:47 that is how you got explorerized what mozilla and we call in-content shit 14:37:56 and then mozilla copied it and reenforced it 14:38:03 instead of focusing on XUL 14:38:18 and then google got in the fray and went to the nth degree in the worst way possible 14:38:27 njsg: this is STILL a mozilla failure 14:38:37 to innovate instead of copy and bastardize 14:38:47 which was the style at the time 14:39:28 the evil microsoft and later apple and google have done has been sanctified and justfied by Mozilla this whole time. 14:40:10 my oldest website still running (2006) https://castelberg.net/ 14:40:14 and now Mozilla's 2010s style shit is microsoft's ONLY strat these days 14:40:23 Microsoft copied mozilla copying microsoft 14:40:29 it works from the same css file in all browsers at that time ;) 14:40:34 any wonder why windows 11 and copilot are utter trash? 14:41:10 IE was such a PITA 14:41:18 which one? 14:41:27 which era of internet explorer? 14:41:38 all 14:41:38 there are 3 14:41:42 from 3-11 14:41:50 1-3 4-6 and 7-11 14:41:59 4-6 did the most damage 14:42:14 and 11 lead to edgehtml which failed and lead to more chrome 14:43:39 in the 7-11 era I switched from my own CMS to Wordpress 14:43:47 you can't blame an evil organization like microsoft for being evil.. you can blame regulators and such and you can blame Mozilla.. because Mozilla was the fucking key and they sold us all out long ago.. 14:45:29 The Mozilla Organization existed to prevent or provide an alternative to THIS VERY FUCKIN SERIES OF OUTCOMES and they in 2009 just.. gave up but strung us all along for more years with false hope.. And here we are years later and no one seems to really care.. idgi 14:47:03 the most important question out of all this d|ver is why the FUCK would you want explorer when you could build a xul file manager? 14:48:09 i mean you can't with seamonkey's codebase or any late model xul codebase not without resolving fundmental performance bottlenecks in the core codebase and treat it as it was originally intended.. 14:48:42 including UXP which is not fit for purpose deff after customelements but was iffy before then.. we had refined and gained a lot of performance before that nonsense landed 14:48:58 this is proven by testing with the fireftp extension 14:49:54 which is the closest one has to a functioning filemanager so much so they even at one point had a demo that with some more pieces COULD BE A FILEMANAGER but like with netsplits hogging shit cause its a fuckin either rdf datastore in memory or just a js array holding data it bogs down 14:51:06 dunno speed is all that counts for me 14:51:24 I open a 1500 mp3 folder in less than a sec. 14:51:40 in win 11 it takes a few secs... suxxx 14:52:04 unfortently in my intermittent testing over the past four years when i wasn't loopfailing no late model xul codebase can really be used for much more than the default mozilla purposes it primarily serves.. i'd likely have to go back to XPFE if i want to rearchitech XUL into a general purpose application toolkit again.. earlier toolkit would work too but the newer codepaths are not as robust as xpfe codepaths with more modern compilers 14:52:57 speaking of i need to see if i can get xpfe to build on anything newer than gcc12 14:58:55 a computer MUST be faster than I can operate it... 14:59:37 at least the explorer.. forget websites ;) 15:03:20 except my own: https://modtu.be 15:42:55 nifty 15:43:12 i am sure you've seen my stuff in various conditions from working to diaster before 15:57:24 "VPNs serve as critical privacy and security tools for users across all ages," said Svea Windwehr, policy manager at Mozilla. 16:02:29 aha! critical security tool O_o 16:04:34 for their financial security you see 16:04:39 try mozilla vpn today! 16:04:42 d|ver: 16:05:00 https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/ 16:05:31 Mozilla.. paid products..

Well, that ain't nothing compared to search engines these days :-P 22:44:31 it's all up to the routing gods 22:45:51 okay i wanna know why thereisonlyxul.org is suddenly the only domain without existing records atm 22:46:12 ... i swear bluehost uses some sort of AI router and has been filtering specific traffic 22:46:21 including the most used domain atm 22:46:56 thereisonlyxul.org so basically yeah i consider this an attack not just on my good faith but basic standards of service and care 22:48:44 https://dpaste.com/CF7274AMJ 22:48:49 fucking.. ridiculous 22:49:23 ANYONE ELSE and this shit would be unbelieveable.. but here it is.. 23:03:23 all that work... 23:03:29 and like 40 dollars 23:09:02 KhanLamwan: I get 216.250.119.136 23:09:14 yeah the nameserver change must have propigated 23:09:38 but they can't fuckin sell VPSes the packetshape it to death 23:09:43 what's the point then 23:10:09 to get you to buy managed service.. because this is all designed in a way to confuse and make it look like it is just my problem 23:10:21 packet shaping was intended to elict that response 23:10:26 i remember it well 23:40:19 the older xr cross reference is resolving again 23:40:59 so just use the old domain for now when it switches to the new server the redirect will handle it.. also why i always just use 302 redirects .. don't get cached 23:41:11 uncaching a 301 is painful without clearing everything 23:41:34 next.. nginx .. also irc
