How are you holding up frg_Away?
-
frg_Away
nsITobin life goes on but still sad. Need to think about where to do prereleaee and maybe comm-central buils now. azureis slowwww and costly.
-
nsITobin
the actual tangible building?
-
frg_Away
yes from the central 253 and wip queues.
-
frg_Away
we can probably publish 2.53 and wip on azure now and then.
-
frg_Away
I have enough boxes to do it but not the time really :(
-
nsITobin
I wouldn't suggest PAYING for azure time for central anyone can build that else mozilla can't dev
-
frg_Away
yeah we want it at lest building but not costly.
-
nsITobin
Sorry frg_Away I was just reviewing the internet archive. windows/linux for i686 and x86-64 plus macintosh plus langpacks for rel/git prelease and mq wip builds .. and battling central
-
nsITobin
frg_Away: build wise quirks not withstanding mac is most difficult to source with 32bit linux being a close second. Windows is trivial and linux 64 is doable for about anyone. Building the whole deal on a frequent basis is also a challenge including langpacks etc
-
nsITobin
Is an apple build server you can rent even a thing and even if it is would it even be remotely affordable
-
frg_Away
nsITobin mac is not a problem. Linux x86 is more but now Io think its really time to cut the x86 prerelease builds
-
tomman
Speaking of x86, what's the minimum supported CPU for those these days?
-
tomman
as in "what feature sets are enforced by the compiler"
-
nsITobin
mozilla standard and former UXP standard was sse2 minimum
-
nsITobin
dunno today
-
frg_Away
still sse 2 I think but anything below core 2 duo and 4 GB is self torture
-
tomman
and if you need all 4GB, you have no choice but to go 64-bit
-
nsITobin
you can't do the web on those specs i can BARELY watch the youtube on my 2014 hp elitebook craptop
-
tomman
fortunately Intel doesn't sell new x86 consumer CPUs.. right?
-
tomman
And Win10 32-bit goes EOL next October
-
IanN_Away
tomman: October 2025
-
IanN_Away
or 2026?
-
tomman
14 October 2025
-
njsg
tomman: go 64-bit with a chipset that doesn't prevent more than 4GiB RAM. I'm not that happy to know this, no.
-
tomman
...curiously a Patch Tuesday
-
nsITobin
you can go to seamonkey-project.org binaryoutcast.com thereisonlyxul.org and maybe a few other low bandwith sites JUST fine on old hardware .. at seamonkey's CURRENT code level.. but beyond that you're kinda screwed
-
tomman
njsg: eww i945 :P
-
frg_Away
Anyone using Win 10 x86 needs its head examined.
-
njsg
tomman: hey, it's the only decent laptop I have! (and it's quite good at that)
-
tomman
I think I've seen only ONE Win10 32-bit setup in the wild
-
nsITobin
windows vista and 8x users are gonna become JUST like XP users give it a few more years
-
tomman
and it was one of those force-ugpraded Win7 boxes
-
njsg
so Win 10 IA-32 goes EOL before NT 6.1 amd64?
-
tomman
that had the wrong Windows version installed
-
nsITobin
windows 7 users shouldn't be terrible.. cause insane windows 7 holdouts are illogical when 7 is just vista
-
frg_Away
i965+ otherwise you are screwed anyway.
-
tomman
njsg: eh, that one went EOL in 2020.... unless if I'm unaware of some still maintained SKU for embedded?
-
njsg
tomman: not sure if better or worse than browsing the linux menuconfig and wondering why it was showing PAE options for amd64 and realizing I had installed the IA-32 option
-
frg_Away
Win 10 will get esu too.
-
njsg
tomman: isn't it still getting updates?
-
tomman
not at all, except for the antimalware scanner thing
-
tomman
ah, MRT
-
frg_Away
if not buy a cheap server 2019 or 2022 and be happy.
-
nsITobin
i need to get that server license code
-
nsITobin
maybe in march
-
tomman
and I'm not even sure if those finally stopped being shipped to 7 users, I haven't checked lately despite still having W7 setups here (mostly dormant, of course)
-
nsITobin
legacyupdate is best for windows 7
-
njsg
no idea about 7, while I've been dealing with 7 more lately, my NT 6.1 would usually be a 2008R2 install
-
frg_Away
7 has not been shipped for a long time
-
nsITobin
my w7redux cd has enough integrated to make it less painful
-
tomman
I did booted my oldest W7 setup in late December, and that one didn't prompted me for updates
-
njsg
I need to see if I have any key for newer than 2008R2, but I'm guessing if so it's the server version before 2019
-
frg
nsITobin see private chat
-
nsITobin
hold on i may have it all on ignore
-
frg
-
frg
Still sad
-
nsITobin
extremely
-
tomman
Rest In Peace~
-
frg_Away
tomman the fun thing is that Vista x86 is still updated via orginal Server 2008. Didn't try it.
-
tomman
wat, I thought that both 2008 and 2008 R2 (which is 7) were both dead
-
nsITobin
it's complicated
-
nsITobin
lol
-
frg_Away
tomman no supported till 2026 with esu premium assurance but not for mere mortals. They need a hack :)
-
nsITobin
haaaaaaaacck
-
frg_Away
Same for 8.1 and 2012 R2
-
nsITobin
have to say it like that or the hack doesn't work ;)
-
tomman
AAAAAGH CLOWNFLAAAAAAAARE
-
tomman
I'm trying to reset my password at Danbooru, which of course uses goddamned Clownflare Turnsickle, which keeps failing All. The. Time.
-
tomman
the usual trick of "threat it with the inspector" is not helping this time, as while it makes the checkbox render, it... fails the check, always
-
tomman
so this also means it's now impossible to login to Danbooru too, since the logon form has the moronic Clownflare Turnsick craptcha of doom
-
tomman
sent some extremely nice feedback to them involving a future president
-
tomman
Oh, and this time not only the craptcha fails, it also triggers the debugger if you have devtools open
-
njsg
this being clowdflare, how likely is it that they've screwed something up that's unrelated to locking browsers out?
-
tomman
FINALLY, after ~20 attempts and two different computers
-
tomman
the goddamned Turnsuck agreed that yes, I'm a human being, with flesh, bones, and sexual organs
-
tomman
and of course, at another channel I got told to pound sand, to "test in Chrome or my complaint is invalid", and to stop bitching about Clownflare and Google because it's a "Me" problem
-
tomman
oh Internet...
-
tomman
we're getting more and more hopeless as a society every day
-
frg_Away
Well the linux foundation is now goign into bed with Chromium. What do you expect?
-
tomman
"it's a you problem, your complaint is invalid CLOSED WONTFIX USECHROME BITCHAWAY"
