RIP Jeff Hanneman - Slayer :(
hello
was checking out the website and the different offers on VPS. I see a monthly subscription scheme only. Do you accept upfront  payment of 12 months? if so, would you give a % off ?
guess i found the answer.. hidden in the "view more" of the billing section :D --> http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/billing/is-there-a-discount-for-paying-in-advance
cam13_: i should probably make that more prominent on the website
up_the_irons: is it possible to get a VPS with 2 ipv4 ips?
nesta: possible options are: /30 IP block (1 IP), /29 IP block (5 IPs)
ok
figured so
Added some color to my i3bar via conky: http://www.phluxbox.com/img/sheez2.png
Also, thanks to conky, I got to add an ${if_mpd_playing} clause
Cool colors, phlux.
Thanks
what OS?
nesta: Gentoo Linux
cool
I like your choice of music :-)
Haha, thanks
At first I didn't copy the link correctly and got the nginx 404 page and thought I had a bad link to my own site in the clipboard for a second.
How "clean" is the code of i3?
Have you looked at it, phlux? I currently use dwm and it's horrible, code-wise, I've been meaning to re-write it but haven't had the time.
I honestly haven't, but it works well enough here.
Wow, ~700KB of code.
Large codebase for a simplistic tiling WM.
I don't really consider 700kb "large," but to each his own :)
but I'm guessing that also includes i3bar, so that could factor in to it
Well, dwm is about 10KB.
So, yeah.
Sorry, 55KB for the .c file, uncompressed.
But I think I have a patched version.
what OS do you use, aslr ?
nesta: Slackware.
You?
OSX and FreeBSD
Bleh, OS X. How can you stand it? I had to use it for a few months when I did Obj-C development, and it was pretty bad. Resource heavy and the weird, non-standard stuff gets in the way.
it works for me.
os x and iterm. mostly because text rendering is hard to cope with in any other os (in browsers, not the termianl)
OS X has the sketchiest font rending to me.
so, blue or black shed? :)
on that note does anyone know a good terminal for X ?
gnome-terminal seems bloaty and slow, xterm flickers when it scrolls, and roxterm is like gnome-terminal with tabs
urxvt
^
that's what i'm using in the above screenshot
it doesn't flicker
it has gandish default colours though
osx isn't half as bad as windows
it's 3x as gad
bad
:/
o.O guess it all depends on what you do on it
i'm quite liking doing the windows/linux synergy dance
with one monitor on each
well macos doesn't play games
and it's got a horrible ui :/
you have to screw around with scripts to make it so you can do multiple desktops perly
to each their own i guess, i mainly dev in osx
properly
or you open a new terminal, and it's in the same desktop as the old terminal!
for dev linux should be easier
that depends on what you're developing for honestly
if he's designing iOS apps, of course OSX would be better
clang and dtrace through os x is a pretty strong benefit
i personally won't ever use osx
its based on freebsd, as long as you don't look at the ui its fairly similar :P
no
no it isn't
guys can we please avoid this discussion in this channel? :)
jbergstroem: feel free to /ignore all involved parties.
since irc is so srs to you
linux changes fonts quite a bit i find
like that urxvt has some horrid font
...
so change it?
but it's some default
phlux: was more thinking about topic relevance - but point taken
yeh not sure how phlux
probably similar to xterm
jbergstroem: Oh, so sorry to interrupt all of the on-topic chatter going on in here. Please forgive us.
whereas gnome-terminal etc use gnome defaults
what's the topic ?
mercutio: You google for .Xdefaults urxvt settings, or you man urxvt..
i don't think it really matters too much to stray a little jbergstroem ... it keeps the channel active if someone does have a problem/question
although i suppose it gives up_the_irons lots of scrollback to parse through
ahh that's like xterm
Meh, support should be handled via ticket
IRC should simply be a secondary mechanism
mercutio: you and i usually stray somewhat, so i'm as guilty as anyone else. i've just seen too many os wars on irc
phlux: true
jbergstroem: true
i remember the amiga/dos flamewars
weird, i have to use 12 point size in gnome-terminal and 16 in urxvt to get similar size
oh point versus pixel i think it is
have you perhaps tried source sans pro from adobe? it's been working pretty well for me: https://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/08/source-sans-pro.html
sorry, the monospaced font is called source code pro: https://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/09/source-code-pro.html
i started using consolas in windows but linux doesn't seem to have it
terminus with appropriate patches here.
i wonder if ubuntu has it
