**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 15 02:59:57 2019 Oct 15 03:51:22 Hmm .. seems my 'F' key is about to fall off. Wonder how to resecure it. Oct 15 03:53:26 Maybe a tiny bit of silicone, dunno. Oct 15 05:25:07 Is “foldable smartphone” in practice interchangeable with “foldable smartphone with difficult to access and remove battery”? Apparently yes but I have not researched the subject in depth. Oct 15 05:27:34 My heuristic is that the news about such computers I have seen is for models from Samsung and maybe other companies such as Huawei that are known for sealing the battery inside the computer. Oct 15 05:34:47 Heh, Amazon Prime Video is not the opposite of composite video (AKA “TV out”). Oct 15 10:04:52 https://youtu.be/L-lvzREksyI?t=961 Oct 15 10:04:52 “The Original Was Un-Protected.” Oct 15 10:04:52 Does that mean this program is an uncracktro? Or just an intro, I guess, not a crack intro. Oct 15 11:36:51 Could somebody perhaps figure out how to open this webpage on Nokia N900? Encryption disagrees with MicroB and Fennec (and hence Opera too?), QML-Browser crashes Oct 15 11:36:55 https://www.chefmarket.ru/blog/pyshki-na-skoruju-ruku-recepty-s-foto/ Oct 15 11:38:19 vnc ? Oct 15 11:39:15 Tired. Opening Firefox over ssh -X doesn't often happen with success. Oct 15 11:39:30 that's because X is inefficient Oct 15 11:39:38 try setting up vnc server somewhere Oct 15 11:40:00 it's much more smart than plain X Oct 15 11:40:34 Huh. How so? What is inefficient about old plain X? Oct 15 11:40:45 for once, lack of compression Oct 15 11:41:14 next comes whole screen/window updates Oct 15 11:41:25 vnc updates only what's necessary Oct 15 11:41:43 and it even has jpeg comrpession for slow links Oct 15 11:41:48 /me will try VNC some time, just, don't want to chase down fashion aka Wayland route - too much change isn't stable Oct 15 11:42:21 then run some older linux Oct 15 11:44:40 you can even setup vnc server on windows Oct 15 11:44:47 which might be easier Oct 15 11:44:57 then run firefox/chrome there Oct 15 11:45:28 No worries. Will figure out somehow. Just, doesn't Xorg have x11 widgets or something? Then it potentially could send widget changes, not window changes, over the protocol? Oct 15 11:45:52 theoretically yes, practically x over net is traditionally slow Oct 15 11:46:45 that's why vnc idea was born and implemented Oct 15 11:47:47 Yes. I haven't figured out heads or tail of VNC yet though. Perhaps because I have no 24/7 server - my laptop is switched on only 8/5, at most. Oct 15 11:48:00 do you have any windows machine on the network? Oct 15 11:48:45 Nay. We haven't bought any new computer in ages, and old computers run Linux way better than Windows. Oct 15 11:49:08 btw. vnc server doesnt require monitor Oct 15 11:49:14 Nokia 8110 4G doesn't count as a computer for this purpose. Oct 15 11:49:43 it's just a server that runs in background and allows clients to connect to it Oct 15 11:50:30 Yes, but which computer could run 24/7? Something quiet, ultra power efficient, and tiny. Haven't got such a tiny 24/7 server, yet. Oct 15 11:58:34 Xorg can/does support SPICE protocol for remote desktop : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE_(protocol) And SPICE supports encryption, but not sure about compression. Oct 15 11:59:27 Good night! It's nearly midnight already... Oct 15 12:53:02 Oksana: Thanks to the desktop version of Vivaldi, here is the page you linked as a single image: http://brolin.be/stuff/Oksana_20191015.png **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 15 18:01:41 2019 Oct 15 18:31:30 I use Google Weblight bookmarklet "proxy" for reading problematic websites on Opera Mini (not on N900 though) Oct 15 18:31:40 `javascript:location.href='http://googleweblight.com/?lite_url='+location.href` Oct 15 18:36:52 fwiw, that Russian website above works for me using my MITM proxy. Oct 15 18:37:12 (in Opera Mobile) Oct 15 18:38:11 (though that should just work in general, since it's connecting with a recent version of OpenSSL and a recent set of CA certs) Oct 15 18:41:31 https://gist.github.com/Maxdamantus/e32ab94dbc5d9d43298428400020620e Oct 16 00:07:46 The electronic repair shop in Edmonton said they do not have access to the service manual for the SyncMaster 275T/SyncMaster 275T Plus. Maybe I should try to call Samsung customer service again in case a different CSR is more helpful than the last one. Oct 16 01:34:27 brolin_empey: presumably you should try asking to speak to the manager if the CSR doesn't understand the difference between a service/user manual. Oct 16 01:59:49 Maxdamantus: I may have been too impatient last time, may have not realised that the CSR put me on hold without any sound while on hold. Anyway, I may have missed my window to call for today because I do not know their hours and I keep trying to finish other things that I can do at any time before I do this task that may only be possible at certain times on certain days. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Oct 16 02:59:57 2019
