***: carvite has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: in the late 90s i had dialup, pages were bloated before flash
with all those damn animated gifs.
so i used links :/ kellytk: lynx? brycec: elinks? :) mercutio: nah plain links
elinks is bloated
this is late 90s we're talking about right brycec: links is bloated compared to lynx :P mercutio: not really brycec: lynx was my first text browser, around 1999 or so mercutio: and layout works so much better
omg brycec: no wait, older... BryceBot: That's what she said!! mercutio: links is huge now brycec: lol mercutio: 1.3mb binary
it wasn't like that before
i had 24 mb of ram
and i i left like 6 instances running all the time
i think back then links was less bloated than lynx
lynx binary is 1.5mb now kellytk: I find it satisfying to see "modern" browsers adding a new text-only feature (Firefox Reader View)
I like the idea of click-to-run being applied to images, and presenting only text + layout by default
How would the ideal lightweight [GUI] browser work in your opinions? phlux: it would be w3c compliant for starters ***: plett has quit IRC (*.net *.split)

mnathani_ has joined #arpnetworks mnathani_: anyone else notice green checkmarks on desktop icons after migrating to windows 10? mercutio: dekstop icons? i don't notice desktop icons :)
i can hardly read he desktop icons, they're really tiny, but i can't see azny green
i do have blue arrows mnathani_: those indicate shortcuts I think
my green checkmarks seem to have disappeared mercutio: i have really tiny icons, adn they don't work well with my background picture
i never use desktop icons though mnathani_: 4k or 1440p? mercutio: 1440p
windows don't go so well on 4k
well on smaller screen 4k mnathani_: I suppose video editing might benefit
have multiple 1080p windows mercutio: lots of things can benefit i imagine mnathani_: not coding / IRC / facebook mercutio: what
coding/irc benefit :)
you can have better text mnathani_: I guess if you do split windows mercutio: within the same space
you think i do full screen irc? :) mnathani_: I have it on a separate monitor mercutio: hmm if i make it full screen it's 273x75
no-one ever writes that wide :) mnathani_: not even BryceBot? mercutio: oh brycebot did
haha mnathani_: lol mercutio: ok this feels funny brycec: I have IRC'd @ 2560x1440 with 8pt font before. It's... insane. There's just so much room! mercutio: i made the text ultra-big
so now i'm at 106x29
which is more like how i used to use irc in the 90s
with svgatextmode, and it seems all encompassing
weirdly it's actually harder to read being so big brycec: I IRC @ 169x87 (characters, not pixels), which is approximately 1/2 of a 1080p monitor for me. (Of course, it's Weechat so there are several buffers in that space)
Windows list: [1] (0:18;169x63) [2] (0:2;169x15)
(not that /window list really encapsulates everything on screen :P) mnathani_: how long do you guys usually run a windows desktop before rebooting? brycec: Same "rules" as my *nix desktops - until it needs it, eg installing an update, or some uncorrectable error. m0unds: i shut mine down when i'm done for the day brycec: I sleep mine m0unds: zero reason for me to leave mine up unless my goal is a higher energy bill brycec: Putting it to sleep or letting it go to sleep means I can quickly WOL it and RDP back in.
I'm less concerned about the electric bill, more concerned about the heat it puts into the room :p m0unds: haha
heat = ac for me
so more heat = more ac = more power brycec: Oh for sure... unless you don't have A/C ;) (or you do have AC but it's a portable unit and you try to not need to run it) m0unds: right
my AC is one of the "energy efficient" ones that draws air from every room in an attempt to balace the temperature and stuff
it just means i have to run it longer for the temperature to equalize mercutio: mnathani_: a couple of months mnathani_: I restarted mine after about a month
and couldnt get it to come back up again mercutio: how do you tell? mnathani_: systeminfo
command prompt mercutio: where? mnathani_: Original Install Date: 8/29/2015, 4:42:14 PM
System Boot Time: 8/29/2015, 6:54:34 PM mercutio: heh
i booted 13/08 3:31 am
i think that was an update
that force rebooted
weird it says original install date is the 29th of 7
i installed way before that
most be when i updated to the final build? mnathani_: did you update to windows 10 on that date?
probably mercutio: i have no idea tbh ***: gizmoguy has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds)
