... Yes, I've been following this in the upstream repos ; it's part of their struggle to split large DLL files (e.g. xul.dll and icudt63l.dat) inside the platform/application core into smaller ones... ... The numbers below refer to comparisons between last Saturday's and today's St52/St55 (32-bit) released builds: Serpent 52, buildID=20230324153850: xul.dll sized 44.8 MiB icudt63l.dat sized 11.4 MiB Serpent 52, buildID=20230330030628 (xul.dll split into:) xul.dll (32.5 MiB) gkmedias.dll (6.48 MiB) mozjs.dll (5.57 MiB) (icudt63l.dat exchanged for:) icu63.dll (13.9 MiB) If you do the math, we actually end up with an increase in total filesizes of +2.50 MiB (!) Serpent 55, buildID=20230324154343 xul.dll sized 64.6 MiB Serpent 55, buildID=20230330025402 (xul.dll split into:) xul.dll (40.9 MiB) gkmedias.dll (6.46 MiB) mozjs.dll (5.60 MiB) icu63.dll (13.9 MiB) Again, if you do the math, we actually end up with an increase in total filesizes of +2.26 MiB... I guess Lavoisier's (chemistry) law of total mass conservation doesn't apply here ...

I will check these updated tomorrow. I think there are newer ones.

Yep, did the same, took some time off, got back today, and these users who write spammy-style "how do you do, me too" nonsense are still here, unfortunately ! But hey, on the bright side, didn't you see the Italian-made antivirus @jaclaz found for me ?

fixed

I have to say that I believe Windows XP as an OS will always be usable, even if in an emulated form. With the amount of legacy software out there, it will be worth something, whether if it's simply to run older games or programs for older hardware. In fact, I just installed it recently to a spare drive for use on older websites and for running DOS games. I use it for viewing sites like Bitview, FriendProject and RetroBook, all of which were made to emulate the 2006-2009 era of the internet. However, I wouldn't use it to login to more serious pages though (like Amazon for example).

New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.9, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

yeah, in shared mode it actually puts more extra codes and bindings into separated DLL. static linking is indeed smaller with the cost of more memory and time in linking.

thank you to everyone that gave me download links it much appreciated

Dear @AstroSkipper, why did you ignore this question? I asked it to ensure if I understood correctly what you said or not. Please respond. Thank you.

MSFN members installing POSReady 2009 updates on Windows XP five years ago often reported issues with KB4056615. Visit this link and read a dozen or more pages if you’re curious: https://msfn.org/board/topic/171814-posready-2009-updates-ported-to-windows-xp-sp3-enu/page/131/

You did not provide any detailed information what you are looking for. What about KB numbers? I assume you are looking for these two updates: KB4056615 and KB4056941. Use the Windows Update Catalog! I found them, but the German language versions, though. Logically! I am located in Germany. You will be offered the English ones in your country.

Very important to check if your user agent spoofing works ! New "feature" to check your real UA is called client hints, https://browserleaks.com/client-hints

I think I saw a user named "mockingbird" on another forum asked about a Spectre/Meltdown patch for POSReady2009 back in 2018, but I don't know if they ever found one. I'm sorry; I wish I could be of more help. Good luck on your search, and I'll be sure to let you know if I manage to find more info. Edit: Question was updated to be more general, KB4056615 seems to be the one you are searching for.

https://soggi.org/drivers/realtek.htm There you can find latest Realtek PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet drivers for 98SE/ME, they support 8101E, 8101HP, RTL8131, 8102E/8103E, 8104E, 8168B, 8168C, 8168CASUS, 8168D according to the INF file. I think not all versions of 8168 are supported by those drivers. Newer chips like 8169E? Probably no chance, need to use NDIS2 drivers.

So further on from my post in the XP forum, I decided to play around on Windows ME to see if I could get the new Java based Spotify client working and to my surprise it works and plays! Steps included installing Java 6 then Java 8 as per the instructions on the forum. I have manually set appdata in command line to a folder called appdata in C root however I need to test if this is required or not. I don’t believe there has been a spotify client up to now for Win 9x so this may be quite a novelty for some!

I'm looking for the unofficial spectre/meltdown Patches for posready2009 (its the only way to install the patch on xp)

Works here on official Pale Moon 32.1.0. I suspect you're blocking some resources of that website. Ze or addThis, they don't sound like a built-in JavaScript object, though I don't find them via debugger either. There's a code in there that's supposed to set windowWidth variable.

It was eMatrix. Had to turn it off in 'about:addons' for VirusTotal upload to work (albeit with very choppy scrolling ). Offtopic: cmalex managed to make a Python 3.9 build for Windows XP at your request. Yt-dlp builds fine with it on XP and it also works on Vista. I'll wait for a while to release it.

maybe about 0.1%, but it helps linking UXP programs with lower RAM requirement.

Running MS Update just now on my XP machine, I got these two: Well, this time I SHALL be a cowardly lion. Anyway, it's too cold in NYC to run any updates. If anyone is brave (and warm) enough to run these two, please let us know. EDIT - Also, has anyone tried the Firefox update to 52.5.3 ESR? All OK? I'm still co-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ld. Thanks.
