11:00:57 <xacktm> who knew that xmonad can fail to restart because you have too many open windows :S was baffled for a few hours, but I like the new Ewmh Full Screen feature! Going to explore more of the update soon :)
13:03:51 tremon joins (~tremon@83.80.159.219)
13:33:46 × hightower2 quits (~hightower@213.186.15.36) (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
14:14:18 × Natch quits (~natch@c-9e07225c.038-60-73746f7.bbcust.telenor.se) (Remote host closed the connection)
14:54:37 <L29Ah> xacktm: how many windows is that? i routinely have 100-200 and it works fine
15:08:41 <Solid> 200 windows? Oo
15:11:22 <L29Ah> Solid: on 15+ workspaces, and the most populated ones are Tabbed, so not that many
15:16:16 <Solid> I already get confused when I have, like, 20 open windows 🙃
15:18:40 <L29Ah> then you're not using workspaces enough :>
15:19:37 <vrs> I have 30 workspaces but most of them are unoccupied
15:19:52 <vrs> (30-ish - I don't count them)
15:24:09 Natch joins (~natch@92.34.7.158)
16:15:14 <liskin> L29Ah: what sort of windows are those? Terminals, browsers? Or perhaps chat windows?
16:15:40 <liskin> I'm probably also just a double digit window user myself
16:16:26 <L29Ah> liskin: mostly chats and terminals
16:17:11 <L29Ah> my xmpp client dominates it at 70 windows rn
16:18:16 <liskin> L29Ah: oh, right, I suspected that might be the case. What XMPP client is that, btw?
16:18:46 <L29Ah> liskin: tkabber
16:25:46 <liskin> hm, I just had an idea how to make it easier for us to maintain a social media presence (as in, Twitter-ish, Fediverse something)
16:25:51 hightower2 joins (~hightower@88.207.81.1)
16:26:17 <liskin> if we had a bridge/bot in an IRC/Matrix channel where a group of us could just reply to messages, that would be super easy and convenient
16:26:28 <liskin> the only problem being that I'm unable to find an implementation of this
16:27:00 <liskin> which is quite baffling, because obviously that's the only sane way to use a social media platform, right?
16:28:55 <L29Ah> those i use are gated to my xmpp, but that's one-to-many solution, not many-to-many you desire with a channel
16:29:26 <L29Ah> there are some bridges but mostly for sane-ish IM platforms
16:30:14 <L29Ah> personally i don't see much value in *itter presence given you already have a website and public support venues
16:31:17 <liskin> using a sane-ish IM platform instead would not necessarily be a blocker - please do feel free to point me to any such bridges :-)
16:31:47 <L29Ah> matterbridge
16:32:00 <liskin> re value - I think there's a growing number of people who don't use RSS any more, so having a microblogging presence makes it easier for them to follow our announcements
16:32:19 <L29Ah> microblogging news is solved with a shell script
16:32:33 <liskin> although perhaps those RSS-ignorant people aren't xmonad users anyway? :-)
16:33:09 L29Ah isn't subscribed to xmonad's RSS because his distro maintainers are doing decent enough job
16:33:19 <liskin> well, yeah, but if you only broadcast news and ignore all replies, you are being a bit of a dick
16:33:35 <liskin> makes your behaviour equivalent to a corporate PR department
16:33:49 <liskin> I don't want to act anything like that :-D
16:34:45 <liskin> so the next best thing is that the maintainers all have the credentials for that specific social media account, but in our case, neither geekosaur nor Solid are going to be checking it, and I have enough shit on my plate right now that I won't be doing it either
16:35:01 <liskin> but if we had a simple IRC channel that would just solve everything… I think :-)
16:35:18 <liskin> (I mean, assuming it's a problem worth solving)
16:36:07 <liskin> (anyway, thanks for engaging in my little brainstorming!)
17:22:18 <geekosaur> L29Ah, we already have a matterbridge
17:23:01 <geekosaur> I could probably extend it to other platforms, but I'm currently investigating having the HF take this one over since I'm bridging for a bunch of Haskell-related channels
18:51:02 <fizzie> Used to use BitlBee to plumb Twitter into an IRC client before you-know-what. Convenient to get it in the same place.
18:53:14 <fizzie> (It doesn't feed into an existing IRC network, though, but is an IRC server instead. And it might be a little dead, development-wise.)
21:41:25 × ft quits (~ft@p508dbdf9.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
21:43:14 ft joins (~ft@p508db2e6.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
21:59:19 b34n5 joins (~b34n5@62.57.38.200.dyn.user.ono.com)
22:29:13 × b34n5 quits (~b34n5@62.57.38.200.dyn.user.ono.com) (Quit: Leaving)
23:25:53 <xacktm> L29Ah: surprisingly not that much, only around ~25. just passing --restart didn't do it, I had to quit-and-relog X server then --restart worked again
23:26:41 <xacktm> but I did have to change some deprecated configs in between so maybe that was the blocker, idk
23:27:27 <xacktm> I just saw somewhere online that the whole state of something is passed as an argument to xmonad on restart and sometimes it's too big and fails silently
23:31:40 <geekosaur> that changed several versions ago, the state is stored in a temporary file and that file is passed on restart
23:32:28 × hightower2 quits (~hightower@88.207.81.1) (Remote host closed the connection)
23:45:33 <xacktm> ok, maybe it wasn't that issue then, since I was previously running 0.17.2 according to audit logs. hopefully it was random and I don't come across it anymore
23:45:39 × tremon quits (~tremon@83.80.159.219) (Quit: getting boxed in)
23:48:39 <geekosaur> (the change was in 0.13 fwiw)
