[00:49:39] <Bytram> any time off this w/e?
[00:58:10] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, i actually have a 3 day weekend :)
[00:58:29] <AzumaHazuki> i am thinking of redoing gentoo now their latest stage3 seems to have its python mess figured out
[01:01:50] <Bytram> sounds like fun -- good luck!
[01:03:02] <AzumaHazuki> eh...honestly, gentoo has changed. it seems harder to maintain and do what you want with it.
[01:03:15] <AzumaHazuki> i can't find any xfce 4.12 series ebuilds out there
[01:04:01] <Bytram> so, gotta guild it yourself from scratch?
[01:04:11] <Bytram> so, gotta build it yourself from scratch?
[01:04:54] <AzumaHazuki> i should really write an ebuild set for it. i don't want to pollute the system with unaccounted-for files
[01:06:54] <Bytram> Hmm. You said they changed... maybe they have a new place to keep things, too?
[01:08:56] <AzumaHazuki> i mean it's just...harder. more complex, stuff takes longer and seems more fragile
[01:09:11] <AzumaHazuki> the ecosystem is starting to suck across most of Linux too. GTK3 is a nightmare
[01:10:32] <Bytram> sounds like more and more divergence rather than convergence

[02:38:08] <systemd> Thanks for submitting this story. It appears that no editor has yet selected this story to be run. At least a week has passed since the story was submitted, and if an editor was going to have selected it, they would likely have done so by now. It has, therefore, been removed from the submission queue.
[02:38:27] <Bytram> you're welcome
[02:45:48] <Bytram> can't stay awake any longer... off to bed
[02:46:00] <Bytram> have a great night, everybody!
[02:47:01] <Fnord666> Good night Bytram
[02:47:07] <Fnord666> pleasant dreams
[13:26:10] <janrinok> Fnord666, congratulations on passing the 5000 stories mark! It is not a trivial achievement and I for one recognise the effort required to reach this milestone!
[13:35:08] <janrinok> AzumaHazuki, I know that desktops are a very personal thing, but have you tried MATE? It is very configurable yet remains lightweight. ....just a thought.
[14:11:28] <Bytram> Fnord666: C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!!! 5,000 stories?!!!!!!!!! Thank you SO much!!

[14:33:51] <Bytram> cakes and biscuits? /me is getting hungry!
[14:33:55] <Bytram> lol
[14:34:22] <chromas> Yeah but no gravy :(
[14:34:54] <Bytram> OTOH, less arteriosclerosis
[14:35:46] <janrinok> I hate bugs like this one... storybot5 should run every hour on my computer. Worked fine for the last few months, but today has produced nothing. Ran it once manually and now it is working. I haven't changed anything?!
[14:35:58] <Bytram> so... it is now 67F with a predicted daytime high of 58F ??!!!
[14:36:22] <janrinok> if you had real temperatures they would be working OK
[14:36:32] <Bytram> lol
[14:36:42] <janrinok> they are old and probably worn out
[14:37:05] <Bytram> right about now I'd rather NOT be running a temperature!
[14:37:36] <Bytram> janrinok: good to see you here! wb!
[14:49:21] <Bytram> no, now the temperature is being reported as 56F !!???
