you are heavily mistaken , reality is vista sp2 is better than windows 7

Incredible how hard they are making it now already! :-( Manually adding "/versions/" still works - at the moment: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-default-1/versions/

+1. I see no reason to abandon XP just because updates stop. I didn't abandon XP when they stopped the first time (and I didn't know about POSReady '09)!

Are there any obvious tips to make Basilisk 55 render as fast as New Moon? I've modified the initialpaintdelay and content.notify settings to match what I have in New Moon. I've also reduced the max network connections to 250 (like in New Moon) EDIT: Turns out I'm an id*** - No not in the way @jaclaz or @submix8c used to think (kidding kidding). But the reason I had slowdowns? I had set the Max Entry Size for cached items to "1" instead of what I intended which was "-1" (for unlimited size. Now performance is much more comparable to New Moon. :p Whew!

Well I do concede that New Moon is much faster than Basilisk 55, however - some sites don't render properly. On Walmart Canada's site, there are no prices or "add to cart" buttons on any products. But in Basilisk 55, the prices and buttons show up properly.

These are actually just regular updates to fix bugs in the .NET July Updates. I did not come across them from my regular sources, so good catching! I'll be adding them to the repository. These are just the Security and Quality Rollups of July 2018, and those are always superseeded by the newest ones available (in this case, the August ones, which I already have in the repository). Thank you so much. Just having people using the repo is enough motivation to keep it updated from month to month. If this makes it easier for people to stay on anything that is not W10, it's a victory

@greenhillmaniac I've got a few more .NET security updates. KB4346407 .NET 4.6.1 from 8/10/2018 KB4346410 .NET 4.5.2 from 8/10/2018 KB4346743 .NET 2.0 from 7/31/2018 KB4340559 from 8/16/2018 (contains KB4339422 for .NET 2.0, KB4338417 for .NET 4.5.2, and KB4338420 for .NET 4.6.1) And I'll add my thanks to Ruan's. It's really really good to have something like your repository, which clearly separates Vista/Server 2008 gold from the chaff if other MS updates -- and I speak with the experience of installing two fresh Vista Ultimate systems in the last several months.

That's right. A little history: I originally found ProxHTTPSProxy on a forum for the Proxomitron (a local proxy for filtering ads). There was a need to break https: internally on the user's PC so Proxomitron could do its ad-filtering thing on secure Web sites, and then to re-create https: security so it would all be transparent to the Web browser. I realized we could use it even if Proxomitron wasn't involved, in order to use newer https: protocols, ciphers, etc. with older browsers that have outdated security. Then Heinoganda took it over and has kept it up-to-date as OpenSSL (which it's based on) has evolved.

This is being done automatically when you revert to a restore point.

@Tripredacus. Don't know if this was the case for you or Mr. Turley at the eeJournal, but .pst files are locked when Outlook is open and cannot be copied or altered until Outlook is closed. I recalled this because when I do automated local backups I have to taskkill Outlook before copying the .pst file(s).

Indeed, I am I've edited my post and added those updates to the repository. BTW, I wasn't sure if I should add the July 2017 Security Only .NET updates because of all the issues they caused, but I guess the August updates fixed all of the issues, so I'll add the updates aswell

@greenhillmaniac Are you missing KB4339291 & KB4339854 in July's updates? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4339291/security-update-for-security-feature-bypass-vulnerability-in-windows https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4339291 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4339854/win32k-elevation-of-privilege-vulnerability-in-windows https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4339854 Edit: I forgot KB4340007 (.NET) Security Only update for .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 4.5.2, and 4.6 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4340007/security-only-update-for-net-framework-2-0-sp2-3-0-sp2-4-5-2-and-4-6-f https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4340007 ------------- Thanks again for keeping your repository updated :) .

I agree. There are folks who are at least somewhat technically inclined, but who set up systems for others who are not as technically inclined (like their parents, perhaps). An auto-updater would avoid weekly trips, or signing in via Remote Desktop. In theory it should be simple: check o.rthost.cf for the latest build of whatever browser you're using; if newer than current build, download the newer version and schedule a delete of the old directory and rename of the new one when the browser isn't in use (on the next reboot, perhaps). You could even keep an old version or two around in case the newest version has problems.

Huh? It's a local proxy; the "server" is your own PC! I presume you own it, or at least control it....

Well, I'm NOT a fan of auto-updating. If anyone want to make an auto-updater, please go ahead, you have freedom to do so. If you just want a notifier, you may just go to my freesoft blog and subscribe the Atom/RSS feed.
