@Bob I just realised the tomato firmware on the router I'm about to replace with dodgy mesh networking kit does vlans ....

so in theory I just need one switch that does that... ;p

and to actually figure out how to set vlans, but that's half the fun....

I'll take a look when I get back from india ;)

dontkillmyapp.com

@JourneymanGeek poke me when

@Bob oooh, thanks.

I've been looking for strategies to deal with my Huawei app killing phone. :P

If nothing else I want my slightly dodgy mesh kit in first

Joy. My computer crashed and I lost my savegame for AC origins

I'm going to try restoring from backups

How to change font size for firefox?

I've tried changing size from about:preferences but no effect.

ok, got an older backup up ._.

apparently it was syncing back a broken backup or something

@Pandya ctrl + ? ;p

@JourneymanGeek I'm looking for permanent solution.

e.g. font setting.

ctrl +- works which is about zooming whole the page but that's not what I'm looking for

@JourneymanGeek you're in India?

Not yet

Let assume, one question is about how to download a file directly and I've to add an valid link for example. Which link can I add in my answer so that no one can flags my answer as spam or copyright or something.

@Biswapriyo Its usually discouraged

there's VERY few cases where you'd want to do that

The real issue is - how do you keep critical information to an answer (an artifact we hope should have an indefinate shelflife) available even after you can't maintain it.

@Pandya You need the 'override pages css setting' option

it's there somewhere, maybe in advanced

@Biswapriyo You detail the process to get the URI:

and then you can share said link with it.

@djsmiley2k Assume question has no url, I've to provide an example so that readers can test it. Just a though, nothing serious.

Then it's a terrible question (too broad) as there is many many ways websites may 'hide' the uri of downloads

@Biswapriyo errrr

OH MY GOD

EACH TIME I GET A CRUSH ON A GIRL

Yes?

I FIND OUT SHE'S GOING ABROAD FOR FURTHER STUDIES AFTER 12TH

WTF MANNNN

I MET THIS GIRL GIRL AND SHE'S SO PERFECT OMG KILL ME NOW

room topic changed to Root Access: For all you Super Users out there. You have backups, right? Current topics: [computers] [technology] [dating]

ah, Carbon Dating? an interesting technical topic

@allquixotic Yes, we talk about carbon based lifeforms dating all the time

@Bob NOT HELPING

Shouting will help 👍

@bertieb SHUT UP

LET ME EXPRESS MY EMOTIONS

;p

@rahuldottech If you really feel that strongly you would have already started on planning how you can arrange to be studying abroad in the same place

😉

@rahuldottech This is life.

When the user doesn't believe their question is off topic lolk

@DavidPostill over the last year I've had crushes who will shortly be departing to (i) Australia (ii) Canada (iii) USA (iv) Britain (v) Scotland

So instead of relocating to either of those, I figured I'd just stay here and get a crush on someone who isn't leaving

;p

How's that goin for ya?

rotflmao

I think @rahuldottech is not experiencing real crushes. I relocated to another country to live with my last one

💏

@DavidPostill teenage crushes ≠ love

@djsmiley2k Something something something, computer hardware or software?

@rahuldottech Britain and Scotland?

@bertieb aren't they mutually exclusive?

I don't like all your confusing terminology

Nope

England* (?)

Depends :P

[Great] Britain is the island

(so England, Scotland, Wales)

United Kingdom is GB + Northern Ireland

Lots of folks use GB/UK/England interchangably

So I agree it's confusing

Ah yes, England was correct in this context

Fair dos

Confusingly, if Scotland (or Wales) were to become independent from the UK, they would still be part of Great Britain (I guess)

Northern Ireland wouldn't be part of GB either way, barring some cataclysmic geological event or a lot of terraforming

Apparently Great Britain is the biggest island in Europe

Which it will continue to be, even when/if we leave the EU

Ireland is the third biggest in Europe, and contains Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK, but not GB

And is also in the EU

Although Northern Ireland would also leave if/when the rest of the UK leaves

How I imagine folks to whom all these are distant notions / geography:

(with apologies to the great Bill Watterson)
