2020-07-31T01:29:07 #kisslinux <TinyTimmyTokyo> hi
2020-07-31T06:42:06 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Morning
2020-07-31T06:42:48 #kisslinux <aosync> Morning to yall
2020-07-31T06:43:11 #kisslinux <aosync> I'm drinking my first coffee in 2 days, feels awesome.
2020-07-31T06:43:40 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> oof
2020-07-31T06:46:01 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> New rust update!
2020-07-31T06:46:05 #kisslinux <aosync> shit
2020-07-31T06:46:41 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Fixes this bug: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74739
2020-07-31T06:57:05 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Distributions which patched Grub to fix the recent CVE have left people unable to boot their systems: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1861977 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1889509
2020-07-31T08:11:07 #kisslinux <konimex> let's hope it fixes my firefox woes too, alright time to update
2020-07-31T08:27:21 #kisslinux <j`ey> If it's just that issue, I doubt it
2020-07-31T08:41:12 #kisslinux <j`ey> there may be a .2 too
2020-07-31T08:41:25 #kisslinux <j`ey> https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74954
2020-07-31T09:01:44 #kisslinux <konimex> goddamn broken language crap
2020-07-31T09:02:15 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Great
2020-07-31T09:02:29 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Why is everything so broken?
2020-07-31T09:02:42 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> > I will try and prepare artifacts for a 1.45.2 which reverts the pattern-related commits today, with an aim for a release tomorrow at 1pm eastern (or, if we can't get approval from some compiler team members that quickly, Monday).
2020-07-31T09:02:57 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> I'll wait for this release before updating our package I guess...
2020-07-31T09:03:21 #kisslinux <konimex> I'm still compiling 1.45.1
2020-07-31T09:03:29 #kisslinux <konimex> oh well I'll just cancel it
2020-07-31T09:03:49 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Yeah. I did the same.
2020-07-31T09:04:13 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Last month Mozilla made a new release for a one line pref change...
2020-07-31T09:04:41 #kisslinux <j`ey> just skip that one then!
2020-07-31T09:04:50 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Yup
2020-07-31T09:05:40 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> What I found odd is that Mozilla have the ability to remotely change Firefox settings based on OS information, Firefox version, etc.
2020-07-31T09:05:51 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> They could have simply done it over the air to all users of the latest release.
2020-07-31T09:06:10 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> (It's called Normandy https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Normandy/PreferenceRollout)
2020-07-31T09:06:52 #kisslinux <j`ey> that sounds kinda scary!
2020-07-31T09:09:08 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Yes
2020-07-31T09:09:30 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Set 'app.normandy.enabled' to 'false' in 'about:config'.
2020-07-31T09:09:37 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Our firefox-privacy package already does this for you.
2020-07-31T09:10:22 #kisslinux <j`ey> nice
2020-07-31T09:11:18 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Nearly all distributions use Google and Mozilla API keys too... https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/firefox/trunk/PKGBUILD#L33-L43
2020-07-31T09:11:42 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> (You implicitly agree to the usage terms of the API by using these keys)
2020-07-31T09:12:30 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Google's: https://developers.google.com/terms/ Mozilla's: https://location.services.mozilla.com/terms https://location.services.mozilla.com/privacy
2020-07-31T10:06:43 #kisslinux <magenbluten> unbelievable
2020-07-31T10:07:27 #kisslinux <magenbluten> " for a targeted set of users,". wow
2020-07-31T10:08:58 #kisslinux <magenbluten> they call it "normandy" cz of what? ww2-invasion-ref?
2020-07-31T10:09:13 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> No idea
2020-07-31T10:17:43 #kisslinux <magenbluten> unfortunately rewriting browser is not feasible :/
2020-07-31T11:43:03 #kisslinux <claudia02> ola
2020-07-31T11:45:38 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> o/
2020-07-31T11:47:36 #kisslinux <icyphox> o/
2020-07-31T14:00:02 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Question. Will 'snprintf(NULL, 0, "%s", var)' ever return < 0?
2020-07-31T14:51:58 #kisslinux <illiliti> The snprintf() function shall fail if: The value of n is greater than {INT_MAX}
2020-07-31T15:18:48 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> illiliti: It returns with < 0 if it fails. I'm giving it 0 for size and NULL for the destination, I'm not asking in general.
2020-07-31T15:18:58 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> I do two calls to snprintf() basically.
2020-07-31T15:19:13 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> The first tells me the size of the result which I use in the second call.
2020-07-31T15:19:23 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> I'm asking if the first call (with null inputs) can ever fail.
2020-07-31T15:50:33 #kisslinux <illiliti> it can't fail
2020-07-31T15:51:48 #kisslinux <Proximity> Hey! Has anyone else had a problem with firefox (and firefox-bin) not opening? They show up in top but nothing on the screen.Drivers (nouveau) and wm (sowm) are working fine AFAIK. I also have hicolor-icon-theme and liberation-fonts installed.I should've been using an easier distro to begin with, so please don't waste your time with me, just
2020-07-31T15:51:48 #kisslinux <Proximity> general suggestions are okay. Anything important that I might have missed? Thanks :/
2020-07-31T15:51:59 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> illiliti: Thanks
2020-07-31T15:52:18 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Proximity: Is anything printed to the terminal?
2020-07-31T15:52:33 #kisslinux <Proximity> nope
2020-07-31T15:53:21 #kisslinux <Proximity> I wish there was a log so I knew where to look at least, but it runs just fine.
2020-07-31T15:55:08 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Have you tried a different window manager?
2020-07-31T15:55:35 #kisslinux <Proximity> Actually, no. I ran sowm on Void before and it worked. Will try!
2020-07-31T16:12:25 #kisslinux <Proximity> No luck in dwm as well, but it's fine. Might leave my PC to build falkon overnight. Wonder if that'll work.
2020-07-31T16:17:26 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> And there's really nothing in the terminal when you run 'firefox'?
2020-07-31T16:18:19 #kisslinux <Proximity> If I run it from a wm, no.
2020-07-31T16:21:53 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Tied 'firefox >~/file 2>&1'?
2020-07-31T16:22:00 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Then checking the contents of '~/file'.
2020-07-31T16:22:39 #kisslinux <Proximity> No, brb :/
2020-07-31T16:29:12 #kisslinux <Proximity> Is it supposed to be empty or am I doing something wrong?
2020-07-31T16:31:00 #kisslinux <Proximity> I think you spend enough time with me already. It's fine. I'll try falkon tonight and if it doesn't work I'll go back to void till I learn a little more :)
2020-07-31T16:33:22 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Alright
2020-07-31T16:33:23 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> :)
2020-07-31T16:47:32 #kisslinux <E5ten> dylanaraps: you know to add 1 to the snprintf return for how much you allocate right?
2020-07-31T18:20:05 #kisslinux <aosync> Imma check if firefox 79 fixes the webrtc segfault
2020-07-31T18:21:24 #kisslinux <aosync> It doesn't :(
2020-07-31T18:23:24 #kisslinux <dan[m]1> <aosync "It doesn't :("> rip :( i cant wait for the notification fix
2020-07-31T18:57:42 #kisslinux <aosync> dan[m]1: Ye... but the main problem for me mostly is voice and screenshare that make the browser outright crash
2020-07-31T18:58:10 #kisslinux <aosync> whereas it clearly works in ESR 68
2020-07-31T19:07:57 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> E5ten: Yeah
2020-07-31T19:09:20 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> E5ten: I have some code I'm working on. Once I'm happy with it I'd like you to yell at me about it (if willing and you have the time).
2020-07-31T23:11:28 #kisslinux <Sweets> hola
2020-07-31T23:11:33 #kisslinux <dylanaraps> Hello
