@DavidFreitag Whatever you've spent the last two years doing, at least now you feel a little better about your level of productivity.

@tylerl I built my life into what it currently is in the past two years. Before then I was just some kid

Granted that's still not saying much

awight all

anything interesting whilst I've been on my travels?

or was drupaggedon the last big bug of the week?

Afternoon dude. Think that was it. I've been mostly out of connectivity at Center Parcs since Friday morning.

@RoryAlsop just spending the weekend there?

Yarr. Back up tomorrow

Does anyone have any idea why would Chrome eat tons of memory whenever I'd have some live stream (Flash) open? And needing more and more of memory as I continue watching like it couldn't flush its cache or whatever. It's almost ridiculous how much memory it needs, and if I open same streams in Firefox memory usage is way smaller and more importantly - more or less constant.

I tried finding some good answer or solution online but ... Google support ... you know the drill.

RoryM and @ScottPack - I have tried many times to use keybase.io, and it doesn't get close to working. Pretty much given up on it. Even tried it on vanilla installs of various Linuxen and it fails. Meh

@RoryAlsop rly, nasty! is it the keybase installer that's fluffing? I'm running on ubuntu 14.04 and IIRC it wasn't too painful (that said it's been a while since I actually installed it...)

@TildalWave Doesn't Chrome have its own Flash player? If so, that's what it'd suspect. Although, in my experience, Chrome eats memory in general. Some sites (Twitter, I'm looking at you) are worse than others.

It's not uncommon for me to find my various Chrome processes to be using 2GB-3GB of RAM between them, unless a tab (Twitter, I'm looking at you) has gone haywire then it can be significantly higher.

@Rory I have to admit that the only reason I haven't done anything with keybase.io is that the fact that the OkCupid guys are behind it sets off all kinds of alarms in my head. Not that any of them are reasonable, necessarily, but I haven't been able to get over the obstacle that they present yet.

@Xander Twitter is PITA too yes. Or any live streams that I'd have open for longer time. I've seen single process eating up nearly 2 GB alone, and I'd quite often have a few of those open. It has its own Flash player but this is nearly identical if I use a plugin or the built-in one. And I've asked around and is not just me either. I actually haven't heard from a single one that didn't experience this, although some didn't notice and only did once I asked them to check LOL

There's a few other recent problems with Chrome too that are rather annoying. It seems they've been fiddling with hardware acceleration to the point that it blocks other system processes running in the background. Haven't solved this one either. I might simply dump Chrome for some other browser, seems the easiest option really.

Especially given that it's neigh impossible to get proper answers from its devs and it doesn't matter how many support tickets you're issued or how well you follow up on them.

Or that most of those are ignored for years anyway

@TildalWave It's not a bad option. I've been considering going back to Firefox, and have been using it more and more again lately.

I did some tests today while there were many live streams for the comet Siding Spring flyby of Mars available. In less than 10 minutes and with three of them open (and nothing else), Chrome would eat about 3 GB or rather more. Firefox was happy with under 400 MB and that was constant, didn't move fast up like in Chrome. I also tried Opera, same as Firefox, no problems. And my background music didn't jitter when I'd open a new tab either, like in Chrome.

BTW this is with exactly the same addons installed, using same settings. I only use a few and you get them for all of the mentioned browsers.

RoryM - yeah, something just doesn't work, and I can't identify where.

@RoryAlsop It must be you because keybase.io advertises itself with encryption's a pleasure. Or maybe it's your way of achieving pleasure hmmmm

evening

@Tildal - sure. Encryption is good. But if I can't make it work across a range of platforms then it's a bit crap

@RoryAlsop I was a bit less serious, kinky even :P

@DavidFreitag Uhura? Where? Where??

Grr. Onebox fail.

@tylerl YW ;)

Not sure why it doesn't take HTTPS URLs sometimes, I posted one before with HTTPS in The Pod bay and it took it just fine

On mobile. Anyway the image is the funny part

I was on mobile at the time too

so it's not that

ROFL

@tylerl dude you fly A LOT you're not commuting by air to work are you?

OK it's a retweet didn't notice that

There's nothing more infuriating than having something stuck in your eye that you can't get out

@DavidFreitag last time that happened to me I nearly lost an eye.
