A very good website to get information for cinematic enthusiasts. You don't always have to think the worst. And I was asked which pages don't work. Apart from that, the browser repeatedly hangs when starting and loading websites, like most Chrome browsers that have been ported to Windows XP, such as 360Chrome. BTW, Instagram is the most toxic one ever.

??? ??? ??? Um, are we supposed to know what that is? Looks like nitrous oxide to me.

For example, Instagram stucks on first site. No content, no login window. Fortunately, I don't use it. And the website NOX caused my first, serious crash of Thorium.

Hello to everyone. What I would like to understand if why,when I try to passthru my RTX 2080 ti from FreeBSD to Windows 11,it won't do it,causing the error 12. It says that it generates a resource conflict and requires additional installation). I'm trying to debug the error. Below you see the IOMMU group of my Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 ti passed in a Windows 11 / bhyve VM and of Windows 11 installed physically. I'm not able to understand if there are inconsistencies. VM : Group: 30.0.15.1123 - Device: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (Device ID: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1E04&SUBSYS_250319DA&REV_A1\3&61AAA01&0&48) Group: 4.39.0.0 - Device: NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM) (Device ID: ROOT\UNNAMED_DEVICE\0000) Group: 1.46.831.832 - Device: NVIDIA USB Type-C Port Policy Controller (Device ID: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1AD7&SUBSYS_250319DA&REV_A1\3&61AAA01&0&4B) Group: 10.0.22000.2360 - Device: Controller host NVIDIA USB 3.10 eXtensible - 1.10 (Microsoft) (Device ID: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1AD6&SUBSYS_250319DA&REV_A1\3&61AAA01&0&4A) Physical installation : Group: 31.0.15.5222 - Device: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (Device ID: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1E04&SUBSYS_250319DA&REV_A1\4&94764DC&0&0009) Group: 4.49.0.0 - Device: NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM) (Device ID: ROOT\UNNAMED_DEVICE\0000) Group: 1.50.831.832 - Device: NVIDIA USB Type-C Port Policy Controller (Device ID: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1AD7&SUBSYS_250319DA&REV_A1\4&9476 4DC&0&0309) Group: 10.0.22000.2360 - Device: NVIDIA USB 3.10 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.10 (Microsoft) (Device ID: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1AD6&SUBSY S_250319DA&REV_A1\4&94764DC&0&0209) As an experiment I've passed only this device from FreeBSD to WIndows 11 : pptdevs="2/0/0" I have excluded "2/0/1 ; 2/0/2 ; 2/0/3". I want to show you what means these addresses : 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 [GeForce RTX 2080 Ti] (rev a1) 02:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) 02:00.2 USB controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 USB 3.1 Host Controller (rev a1) 02:00.3 Serial bus controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 USB Type-C UCSI Controller (rev a1) What happened when I launched the vm using these parameters ? bhyve -S -c sockets=2,cores=2,threads=2 -m 4G -w -H -A \ -s 0,hostbridge \ -s 1,ahci-hd,/mnt/$vmdisk0'p2'/bhyve/img/Windows/Windows11.img,bootindex=1 \ -s 9:0,passthru,2/0/0 \ -s 11,hda,play=/dev/dsp,rec=/dev/dsp \ -s 13,virtio-net,tap18 \ -s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5918,w=1600,h=950,wait \ -s 30,xhci,tablet \ -s 31,lpc \ -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI_CODE.fd \ vm0:18 < /dev/null & sleep 2 && vncviewer 0:18 this error : Assertion failed: (!err), function hda_init, file /usr/corvin-src-releng-140/usr.sbin/bhyve/pci_hda.c, line 353. The error is caused by this parameter : -s 11,hda,play=/dev/dsp,rec=/dev/dsp \ I have excluded it and Windows 11 booted. Now,inside it I still see the error 12 : The device PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1E04&SUBSYS_250319DA&REV_A1\3&61aaa01&0&48 generates a resource conflict and requires additional installation. If I pass to the vm only -s 9:0,passthru,2/0/0 \ ; it does not work anyway,because AFAIK,MAYBE there is one and only IOMMU group,so I should pass everything ? But if I pass everything,the error 12 is there anyway. I would like to understand if there is a problem with the IOMMU thing,if there is maybe there is the needing to develop a patch like this one : GitHub - benbaker76/linux-acs-override for FreeBSD. For an experienced developer should not be so hard to understand which devices conflict. I want to ask some help to understand how to debug the error. If we will be able to understand which devices conflict,maybe I can explain this to the bhyve developer with which I'm in contact and he can develop a patch. So,we will be able to use every modern nvidia gpus inside a Windows VM with bhyve under FreeBSD ! That's a nice goal,isn't it ? So,please ask me more informations that you need to understand the origin of the error. Windows Build/Version : 10.0.22000.2538

Use UpdatePack instead. https://msfn.org/board/topic/183839-5eraph-updatepacks-x64-v2019/

Any examples of problem sites? I have to say that I haven't found a site which doesn't display correctly in Thorium (apart from the incorrect font on the Digital Spy forum site which I mentioned earlier).

For the time being, it should be fine. But once the injunction affecting ISPs, the condition will change.

As far as I can see after all my performed tests, Thorium is still in beta stage. Many websites are not shown correctly. So, we will see how the development of this browser will go on. Generally, Thorium works even on my old computer even though we live in the age of seemingly limitless computer resources. But one thong is clear. It is much slower than Mypal 68 or New Moon 28, at least on my hardware.

There IS a way to bypass that. I discovered a method myself, though I never shared it anywhere, cause I don't want rockstar to close that loophole. https://prnt.sc/aEyLJ1GypD5b

Unfortunately, Tobin abandoned the Interlink project. To be honest, I can't make heads or tails of what he's doing with BinOC.

For me, the logger works in Mypal 68.14.1b with uBlock Origin 1.57.2 (tested in single-process mode) as it should. I can log every website and am able to select all results or the results of each opened website by clicking onto the corresponding entry in the logger's address bar.I don’t have to click right anywhere in the logger window, Could it be that you are simply using the logger incorrectly? Here is a little tutorial: First, start the logger. Then load pages. Now, select the window inside the address bar of the logger you want to observe. Cheers, AstroSkipper

...

Agreed!

It was a needlessly ranty part and didn't take into account process address space fragmentation... although TBH, I still find it strange, Chromium being multi-process, how do you not have consistently free contiguous 256 MB of space in that one process. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/507 On the other hand, we live in the age of abundant computing resources, so sometimes these issues do struck as "first world problems".

Off-topic: so, in worst case, my internet connection can be unavailable in any time. A Hong Kong appeals court has sided with the government in its attempt to ban protest song Glory to Hong Kong, overturning an earlier ruling. https://hongkongfp.com/2024/05/08/breaking-govt-bid-to-ban-glory-to-hong-kong-protest-song-approved-by-appeals-court

Oh man, you edited out the part I was going to comment on, lol. re: 256 MB spare -- it's because some people eat their cereal with a fork and don't realize that a spoon works better. There would be no MSFN without these types of people, the folks that use the wrong tool for the job then come here to get that FORK (pun intended) to do what the spoon has no issues with.

Use JustOff's tool MozJAR Recompressor: https://github.com/JustOff/mozjarr/tree/master All about recrompressing such files was already discussed here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184051-my-browser-builds-part-4/?do=findComment&comment=1248092 and here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184051-my-browser-builds-part-4/?do=findComment&comment=1247872 Cheers, AstroSkipper

I noticed random tab hanging with Supermium as well. Slightly off-topic, it's just that I used Supermium slightly more often on XP than Thorium so far. But it could be due to small fixed 1 GB page file since XP is installed on a small 20 GB partition...I think warning about possibly failed memory allocation requests may only show the first time. Those that have these types of problems should check if their page file setting is set to auto. No, you're not smarter than Windows if you think you know appropriate size or worse, think you don't need it at all. If you don't have decently (over)sized page file and settings prevent Windows from resizing it, chances for memory allocation requests randomly failing decrease dramatically.

here is a site of programs to compile and code on wfw 3.11 (although this is only c++ so i don't know how useful that is) i have Symantec C++ Pro 6.1 installed because it supports 256 colors. https://www.streetinfo.lu/computing/programming/windowsold/software/win3x_cpp.html

well the netscape navigator already had java script so wfw 3.11 supports it. there are multiple older ones that have the capability of compiling 16 bit. especially, the ones o that area. the main problem is i don't know what i have to do or how to code because i cant find anything for windows 3.11 yet alone a browser. the idea came from me not managing to bring a dos browser to work under wfw3.11 and there being no newish browsers for it natively. maybe something simple, a few security protocols maybe and https support since that is totally missing in any browsers from that area.

In 7-Zip directories are added as items separate for any files they may contain. You can see they have dates and attributes. Most archivers do this. The XPI contains only files. Each file header in the Zip central directory has a 36 bytes long extra field. With many files and directories, this adds up. Old archivers like RAR do not add this, but the Deflate compression there is worse.

Welcome to MSFN. Write the ID of the device. There are two revisions of the I219, one has a driver, the other does not. As a last resort, you can use a PCI-E Network Card, or USB-LAN if there are no ports available.

Windows 7 has been my favorite and daily OS since 2010. When web browsers (I use Firefox and Opera) or internet functions begin to stop working maybe then I will make the switch to Linux which I haven't been fond of but I hope that day doesn't come anytime soon. I've experienced browsers becoming unusable before with PowerPC Macs and had to give up using the internet on mine.

Does 7-Zip not have reliability troubles with the relevant ZIP extended formats (XPI, EPUB, APK, (I think also JA) etc.)? Particularly, for Mozilla files that use extended Zip formats, such as .ja (I think) and .xpi, it is my understanding that member file order in the archives matters and is optimized by Mozilla process. Mozilla has provided a disclaimer against using 7-zip in creating a singed XPI-file extension (see https://web.archive.org/web/20200105223104/https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Add-ons/Signing_an_XPI#Prepare_XPI_file_for_signing ) because, as it alleges, 7-zip may change order of files. Have you found this not to be the issue? As a test of compression ability, I have downloaded and extracted https://o.rthost.win/boc-uxp/session_manager-0.8.1.14-sm.xpi then tried to re-compress the extracted content to Zip format with 7-zip, but the compression type and end archive file size is much greater (556,780 bytes is my lowest-size outcome) than yours (552,422 bytes). What am I missing?
