Troper Updates II, Part II

Go To

In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.

Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

What are you sorry for? Did you walk over to my laptop while I wasn't looking and fuck up my Ubuntu installation?

No, I just convinced you to run a VM inside a VM!

I apparently haven't learned my lesson, though, because now I'm thinking I should try it on my family's slightly more powerful desktop PC.

Now I ought to actually set up a VM for practical use, which was the whole point in the first place.

I can't remember if I like Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu best, so I'm downloading them all.

Last I heard, Firefox has a dumb memory allocation algorithm. Basically, it keeps track of the maximum size of anything it's needed allocated, and allocates an amount of memory with that size when it needs anything, increasing the max if it needs to. problem is that this means most of the allocations are for much more memory than it actually needs.

Oh. I thought it was because of Flash, but I guess then it would be plugin-container.exe that's hogging the resources instead of firefox.exe.

Of course, when I say dumb, I mean in a hindsight way.

I think Firefox and I are hatefriends.

Also the concept of "hatefriends" amuses me more than it should, despite the fact that I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with it.

When you're hatefriends with benefits, does that mean you have hatesex?

Oddly, stopping the downloads I had going in uTorrent has made Firefox play nice. Spoiled Brat.

You know what you must do. You must infiltrate your computer and beat Firefox into submission.

That, or just configure it to use less bandwidth (or in usual torrent terms, «throttle» its bandwidth usage)
