10:06.24DocScrutinizer05DusXMT: why didn't you just ask? ;-)
10:07.17DocScrutinizer05wanna know what's armhf?
10:08.13DocScrutinizer05ArmHardFloat
10:08.22DusXMTI knew that :)
10:08.55DocScrutinizer05I just wonder how el and hf seem to be mutually exclusive
10:09.09DusXMTBut thinking about it a little, the armhf name is a little inconsistent, but I guess it's more convenient than armelhf
10:09.15DocScrutinizer05or one a superset of the other
10:09.40DocScrutinizer05yeah, armelhf would make sense to me
10:11.24DocScrutinizer05also there must be an armbe or armeb, no?
10:11.57DusXMTIf there was interest in such a port, I'm sure it would be possible to make it
10:12.18DusXMTFor example, 64-bit ppc has 2 ports in debian: ppc64 and ppc64el
10:12.37DusXMT(that's where I deduced the meaning :)
10:15.10DusXMTFor PPC, it makes sense since they only recently added little-endian support (mainly to remove a bottleneck of communicating with nVidia cards, which work with little endian data) and the vast majority of the hardware is only big-endian capable, while ARM's supported both for quite a while
10:15.29DocScrutinizer05>> *_arm.deb and *_armel.deb are two incompatible ports, and *_armel.deb is 11 times faster when doing floating point, as well as allowing you to compile your own applications using hardfloat (precisely, -mfloat-abi=softfp) and link then with the softfloat libraries in your generic distro to gain a further 3 to 7 times speed increase.<<
10:16.26DusXMTInteresting
10:21.40DusXMTKinda strange that simply switching to a different endianness causes such a performance increase with FP, i guess the software FP libraries are better optimized for le
10:24.27DocScrutinizer05https://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort#GCC_preprocessor_macros_for_floating_point  >>Paradoxically, the -mfloat-abi=softfp does not set the __SOFTFP___ macro, since it selects real floating point instructions using the soft-float ABI at function-call interfaces.<<
10:29.01DocScrutinizer05DusXMT: it's prolly more about EABI which is implied in armel
10:29.39DocScrutinizer05>>With EABI, 64-bit function parameters passed in registers are aligned to an even-numbered register instead of using the next available pair.<<
10:32.15DocScrutinizer05>>Since this already causes an incompatible change in the system call interface, the opportunity has been taken to slip in a more efficient, totally incompatible way of doing system calls: instead of using the swi __NR_SYSCALL_BASE(==0x900000)+N instruction, where N is the number of the system call, swi 0 is always used with the system call number stashed in register r7. This is more efficient because the kernel no longer has to go and
10:32.17DocScrutinizer05fish N out of the instruction stream(*), which used to have a negative impact on the efficiency of processors with separate text and data caches (i.e. most ARMs).<<
10:33.04DusXMTnice :)
10:33.06DocScrutinizer05which pretty much explains where from that speedup by factor 11 origins

17:29.30fsmithredfurrywolf, it might be a workaround for FF killing X. http://refracta.freeforums.org/for-refracta-ascii-xephyr-t584.html
17:31.42furrywolfmy current solution of switching to a vt and killing firefox seems to work...
17:31.51furrywolfI really wish there was a browser that didn't suck.
17:32.29MinceRi wish there was a www that didn't suck
17:32.49*** join/#devuan flrn (~flrn@unaffiliated/flrn)
17:33.49furrywolfit doesn't shut down x...  it just sends crap faster than x can process, resulting in x ignoring everything else.
17:35.38furrywolfI haven't bothered really tracking it down, but it looks like the javascript that displays the loading progress of the rest of the javascript crap (note that _nothing_ on the page actually needs javascript - more crap web design) updates its spinner infinitely fast, which causes firefox to send updates as fast as it can too...
17:36.17fsmithredfurrywolf, have you looked at using cpulimit?
17:36.26fsmithredor nice
17:36.47furrywolfit's making x use all the cpu
17:37.01furrywolflimiting or nicing firefox won't help
17:37.07fsmithredyeah, you can run cpulimit on firefox
17:37.09furrywolfand nicing x would make it suck even worse.  :)
17:37.14fsmithredyes
17:37.33fsmithredyou using noscript?
17:37.36furrywolfno
17:37.51furrywolfand if I did, then the page wouldn't work for entirely different reasons.
17:37.53fsmithredthat might help. Friend of mine had cpu overheating until she started using it
17:38.16fsmithredwell, yeah, it's a pain to have to selectively allow sites
17:38.22fsmithredsome of them have pretty long lists
17:39.29furrywolfit's crap web design causing a crap browser to send crap to a crap windowing system.  none of the three should exist.  web design shouldn't try redrawing the page infinitely fast.  the browser shouldn't send crap to the windowing system infinitely fast just because a page tells it to.  and the windowing system shouldn't allow one connection sending crap too quickly to cause it to ignore everything else.
17:40.54fsmithredyou're supposed to buy new hardware to handle all those features
17:41.31furrywolfmy guess would be that on windows some rate limiting happens somewhere, so no one on the web design team cares, as none of them even know what X is.
17:42.14furrywolfand firefox's sucking is a long-term issue...  and x's sucking is an even longer-term issue.

18:46.06fsmithredoh, that looks interesting
18:46.51GeneralStupidi like it more because its very easy to disable scripts on one web page
18:47.00GeneralStupidor disable scripts just from one host ...
18:47.10GeneralStupidsome websites are not usable without it
18:48.56Leander256it's like noscript, but for chrome?
18:49.20fsmithredit's billed as a firewall for chrome
18:49.49fsmithreduMatrix is a blocker(cookie,css,image,plugin,script,XHR,frame, and other)
