[01:04:06] <Bytram> chromas: Psst! Over here!
[01:05:15] <chromas> Shhh...the they are listening!
[01:05:59] <Bytram> Maybe you can help mrpg? He seems to have IRC problems sometimes, when coming in through ( http://chat.soylentnews.org )
[01:05:59] <systemd> ^ 03SoylentNews Web IRC (Iris) ( https://chat.soylentnews.org )
[01:06:14] * chromas gamifies the gamification post
[01:06:29] <Bytram> he's here now
[01:07:05] <Bytram> or mrpg was here just a moment ago.
[01:07:17] <mrpg> is here afk
[01:07:22] <chromas> He mentioned a VPN. I don't see anything recent, but when someone hits the blocklist, it sends me a notification; I'll watch for them in the future. Usually it's just ari
[01:07:25] <mrpg> just a spectator
[01:07:28] <Bytram> lol
[01:07:40] <chromas> Let's talk about him in front of his back
[01:08:08] <Bytram> lol
[01:08:27] <Bytram> I'll leave it to you two to discuss
[01:10:00] <mrpg> Steps to reproduce: click on IRC link on the front page, clic on authenticate enter login password click ok and then receive an error in a beautiful window with round corners. no VPN at the moment.
[01:12:07] <chromas> Hm, no error here
[01:12:27] <mrpg> Regarding the VPN, I remember that using it I could connect via web but not via thunderbird.
[01:12:30] <chromas> Authenticated by SASL. No third-party scripts at all
[01:13:28] <mrpg> I tried another user and nothing, Im using firefox linux with ublock origin, no more plugins.
[01:13:40] <chromas> If you're using µMatrix or anything, you probably need to allow XHR (XMLHttpReuest)
[01:13:51] <chromas> ah
[01:14:09] <chromas> does it work without authentication?
[01:14:30] <mrpg> I turned it off, same error. No, without auth same error.
[01:17:30] <mrpg> Ok, 2 hours on the phone. Now I am going to eat pasta.
[01:17:45] <chromas> Sounds tasty
[01:18:15] <mrpg> I do not use contractions due to the fact that my apostrophe key is damaged, that is why I write like Data from ST TNG speaks.
[01:18:15] <chromas> Hm I can't get an error. Maybe some rule on ublock?
[01:18:30] <chromas> you could use your ` key
[01:18:40] <mrpg> Let me try chrome in the cell phone. Ublock is turned off.
[01:18:43] <mrpg> ``
[01:19:01] <mrpg> Looks weird
[01:19:04] <chromas> were you using firefox on phone or pc?
[01:19:11] <mrpg> firefox on linux
[01:19:30] <chromas> okay. that is what I am running as well
[01:20:31] <mrpg> firefox in android same error.
[01:21:12] <mrpg> chrome in android same error.
[01:21:28] <mrpg> maybe my ip is blocked?

[02:05:43] <chromas> weird. maybe some kind of cache burp?
[02:05:54] <mrpg> same environment that gave problems works ok now.
[02:06:30] <mrpg> Maybe, this happened weeks ago too. I blame linux 2 bit OS and FF and their woke culture

[02:06:56] <chromas> probably got their CoC stuck in your socket
[02:07:17] <mrpg> haha
[02:08:03] <mrpg> well it is good to be woke but as a normal human being, not trying to suppress evryone who thinks different.
[02:09:26] <mrpg> wait it dont work in android yet, i ll restart
[02:14:09] <mrpg> I rebooted my cell phone, it works ok now.
[02:14:27] <chromas> Puff The Magic Reboot
[02:17:42] <mrpg> android = linux i blame the kernel maintainers. MY laptop doesnt turn off with the last 3 kernels, i blame them.

[15:46:22] <Bytram> janrinok: I received your e-mail -- thanks! I'm 2nding stories, atm. Maybe later today.
[15:46:33] <janrinok> no rush
[15:51:56] <Bytram> Quick question on Thunderbird and Ubuntu Mate: Do you know if there is a way, when I receive e-mail, for the "logo" or "title" or whatever, to change it's appearance to let me know? Even when I have minimized Thunderbird?
[15:53:49] <janrinok> so you want a notification when you receive an email?
[15:55:52] <Bytram> yes... I already have it set to notify me, but it only appears on-screen for a few seconds.
[15:56:10] <janrinok> do you want sound as well?
[15:57:08] <Bytram> maybe, depending on the sound =). Basically, if ...
[15:58:36] <janrinok> In T'bird, go to Preferences - General - Incoming mail - Show an alert, Advanced settings - you can set how long the screen display is active for.... Sound on is in the same Settings area.
[15:59:19] <Bytram> I step or look away from my computer, short of loading Thunderbird, I don't know if I received anything since the last time I opened it in full on my system.
[16:00:13] <Bytram> Is there a way to dismiss the alert when it is on-screen?
[16:00:48] * Bytram already has alerts turned on
[16:01:20] <janrinok> Unread messages are usually highlighted - I don't know a way of getting a permanent notification if T-bird is minimized....
[16:02:53] <janrinok> you can usually click on an on-screen alert to remove it - although I am not certain, I haven't used that facility for many years.
[16:03:39] <Bytram> Guess I'll have to try it! =)
[16:07:04] * Bytram still has 2 stories to second, but need to get ready to go out the door.
[16:08:15] <janrinok> Have a good one - I'm going for my pizza in about half an hour or so, and a lazy evening for me. I've been awake since 0530...
