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.

Well as of the RTM release, Vista really, REALLY was a s--t pile. It really was. Slow I/O, badly written display drivers, you name it .... However, SP1 and (especially) SP2 cleared away most of those warts, and by the end, I would agree it performed pretty much identically as well as Windows 7. What was never resolved was management and cleanup of the component store. It became huge. However that doesn't bug me any more. I'm perfectly OK now with an OS taking up 15 to 20 GB of disk space now, where I wasn't before. Why? Because I now understand what the component store does, and why it provides sound stability benefits to Windows. As for Windows 8, funnily enough, I can still update using Server 2012 updates without any "tricks". I was hoping the same for my Windows 8.1 brethren, but no such "exact" luck. But Windows 8 has been exceptionally stable, and a VERY GOOD performer.

yeah that was mine post and links are the same as i sent before

Somewhat related, but Windows also doesn't bother stuffing multiple services in a single process anymore by default, at least when 3,5+ GB of RAM is available. Funny, this practice of stuffing services in single process (aka. svchost.exe) was even listed as being outdated in the one long list of complaints of flaws about Windows at http://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html. So MS does listen to customer feedback every once in a while.

You're right. Not really. TBH, I have only a little idea about these GitHub repos, especially when it would come to creating my own. As I already mentioned in my thread, I personally am not really a coder but rather a code recycler, fixer, modifier and batch programmer. I like to repair things that no longer work correctly. Especially when they are close to my heart. In any case, thanks for your further explanations!

Also, I think those licenses also contain some form of if you attempted to contact the original author and they did not reply within a timely manner, then it is considered "abandoned" and up for grabs, so to speak.

Sorry, my rant was a bit overreacting yesterday, my opinion is more mixed on multi-process specifically. I mean in theory, it could overall be lighter on resources due to absence of overhead for interprocess communication, no allocations inherent to spawning new processes ect. But all single-process browsers (referring to old school Mozilla browsers...what else is out there anyway?) that are kinda usable today (if you don't visit too complex websites) all get crapped up, resources aren't freed, it just gets slower and more RAM hungry until you close and restart the browser, worst case scenario in my experience is getting stuck in a permanent loop when it 100% CPU core and you can't interact with the browser at all. While multi-process browser just terminates the process and BAM, resources associated with the tab are freed instantly. And this old school Mozilla code seems to have a funny quirk that resource consumption will actually spike up when you close tabs, so if you're reaching the limit if you're on a 32-bit browser, that'll be the final nail in the coffin.

And certain folks using roytam1's releases could say: "What do you mean "obsolete browser"!? I just updated it last Saturday!"

It lives... I didn't have to do anything special. This is using it on XP SP3 (with POSReady updates) unchanged as downloaded from https://github.com/josealf/stunnel-win32 Ben.

... But with latest UXP builds:

Thanks for the hint! Out of interest, which browser did you use? I finally got to see the screen in your screenshot but only by using Firefox 116. Ben.

If on a UXP-based browser (Serpent 52, NM28, etc.), the "Download" button depicted is unresponsive ; it works, though, in Serpent 55 and 360EEv13.x ... If on a UXP-based browser, click on either the "Raw" button or the "View raw" link in the middle... @Ben Markson ; Which OS do you plan to use stunnel-win32-5.70-openssl-1.1.1u on? AFAIAA, this package requires Windows Vista SP2+; I don't have an XP box to test currently, but openssl-1.1.1* alone won't load under XP, and this is a known fact in the XP communities... Once you download the package in question, extract it with 7-zip and then inspect EXEs and DLLs with dependency walker ; I'm quite confident you'll find it has "fatal" issues under XP (assuming you want to deploy it under XP, per the thread's title ) ... Cheers PS: Below is a screengrab from my Vista SP2 32-bit laptop:

I do think so, too. The extension I already forked for my private use was abandoned by the author in 2015.

TBH, me neither. I am never really sure about things like that.

Thank you very much for your explanation! Looking at other forks of extensions, I never saw a detailed record (in the form of a patch/diff file) of the modifications the "forker" applied on the original source code inside those xpi files. I only noticed a statement like "forked from the extension ... created by ..." or similar. BTW, I decided to choose a new name.

I'm no authority on this ; some relevant links from "upstream": https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=13655 https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=26433 AIUI, if you modify the original source code and intend to distribute your mod in binary form (e.g. XPI), you have to, under the MPL-2.0, include in your redistribution package a) a copy of the original licence (or link to it), b) a detailed record (in the form of a patch/diff file) of the modifications you applied on the original source code and c) if you were granted permission from the original author(s) to keep the original "name", provide clear proof of that or, in the opposite case, use a "new" name for your own fork... As I said, not an expert on Open Source licencing ... Kind regards.

Please forgive me for being so late to the announcement, but I'm very sorry. Dencorso was a great guy, the post above by mixit says it all. Sit tibi terra levis, dencorso.

It happens rarely, but today, I also have a question. It's about forking extensions. What do I have to consider if I want to fork an old, abandoned XUL extension under the MPL-2.0 licence? I already asked this question in my thread Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations, but I think here in @roytam1's browser thread, the probability of getting an answer is higher, since software developers, programmers or code-experienced members are more likely to be found here. Any hints or explanations are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Try installing the driver manually through Device Manager. This ID is in the driver. At least in 474.11-desktop-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe It has the lines: %NVIDIA_DEV.24C9% = Section165, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_24C9 NVIDIA_DEV.24C9 = "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti". Also, the system may be missing a platform update: KB2670838

Another way to look at it is this, and here I use the word "you" as an all-encompassing pronoun, not any one or two or three specific people. You are a hypocrite if on one hand you applaud the safety and security that an airbag brings to a modern vehicle but on the other hand shout from the roof top for single-process opposed to multi-process. Vehicle "onboard computers" are extremely complex. Safety circuits on top of safety circuits. Reaction times at split-second precision so that an airbag doesn't explode under false pretense. What kind of world would we live in if the "correct way to advance" was for browsers to remain single-process, televisions to remain Cathode Ray Tube, phones to remain wired to the wall, but then we hand-pick what technologies are allowed to advance as opposed to them kind of ALL advancing ???

My hunch is that typical MSFNer is just angry that he can't run today's browsers/web pages well on his old 2001 (or worse!) computer.

wow, this must be brilliant!!!

The code be everywhere these days, eg. did anyone see what kind of headphones they sell these days? Gone are the days when headphones were a pair of dumb speakers you put on your head. Now they have Bluetooth, built-in equalizers, smartphone app to control them, Google Assistant etc. and apparently they may even get software updates. Or a car battery charger that is configurable via app. Have they invented a smart toilet yet?

Hello to all extension "forkers" or experts! What has to be considered if one wants to fork old, abandoned extensions, which are free and non-commercial, whose code only exists in the form of their xpi file under the MPL-2.0 licence, and which are now exclusively available via the Classic Add-ons Archive or the Wayback Machine? TBH, I am never really sure about things like that. I personally am not really a coder but rather a code recycler, fixer, modifier and batch programmer. Therefore, any ideas or assessments are welcome. Cheers, AstroSkipper

It's archived in the Wayback Machine though: http://web.archive.org/web/20221201234530/http://browser-download.kfsafe.cn/MiniBrowserSetup.exe

You simply have to reset that entry from context menu. If it is a self-created entry, it'll be deleted after refreshing the page or restarting the browser. If it is an entry that already existed and was changed by you, it will be set back to its default value. Anyway, there is no extra delete button.

Hi @roytam1, sorry for being off-topic! I got a private English lesson for free, and unfortunately, of all things in your thread. But now, I am initiated into the mysteries of the English language. Generally, I hate to be off-topic, but I couldn't reject such a schooling deliberately, and truth be told, I enjoyed it. Mea culpa! Kindest regards, AstroSkipper PS: And to be a bit on-topic again, I installed your recent version of NM 28, and as far as I can see, it works great. Thank you very much for all your efforts!

I didn't want to say "it works in Germany, too", what I meant was the movies can be watched even in my native language German either. Is that right? Or do I really have a problem with the word "either"?

@soggi, actually, all has already been said. may do their own research to confirm statements of other members if they are uncertain. The only way to get rid of uncertainty. There is one main principal: Trust is good, control is better! And I follow this rule generally. And that doesn't mean I don't trust you, though, and hopefully, maybe, you trust me either... Kind regards, AstroSkipper

First, I didn't see your statement, when I posted my comment, but nevertheless, it would be still AFAIK until I did a research by myself. AFAIK has nothing to do with uncertainty. It simply means I did no research yet, but I am sure that my recall is correct. And that is not unnecessary, of course. You know what I mean? BTW, I already agreed to your statement, so what are we talking about? In any case, I decide definitely on my own the use of AFAIK. That has to be absolutely clear. Anyway, your facts are correct, and all is well. Kind regards,

No, unless you have some applications which need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). JavaScript and Java Runtime Environment are two totally different things. In a browser, you need a lot of scripts written in the language JavaScript. Almost all websites provide functionality via Javascript. Java Runtime Environment, for running Java executables, is needed very rarely in a browser. Therefore, JRE can't fix your problem.

On a Fujitsu notebook, Windows 7 was already preinstalled. I upgraded the hardware, resized the existing partitions, and installed Windows 10 as a second boot partition. By using a boot manager I installed in the Windows 7 partition, in my case it was Boot-US, I can use either Windows 7 or 10 independantly, according to my needs. Therefore I didn't have to decide to give up one of them. Personally, I prefer Windows XP, but if I had to choose between Windows 7 or 10, I would choose Windows 7. In any case, and spoken for me only, it would be a choice between cholera and pest, unfortunately. In your case, why not use both? Cheers, AstroSkipper

@tpao12, another working, alternative extension to open videos in VLC is Video Assistant 1.0.4. I use this extension in Serpent 52, but it will work in other roytam1's browsers either, and it's fine. It can be enabled or disabled by a toogle button and opens a video from different sources, which can be set in its options, in VLC automatically. You will find it in the Classic Add-ons Archive. Cheers, AstroSkipper

When I write about something I haven't research before, but in the past, it is and must be AFAIK. Otherwise, I would state facts I didn't know or remember exactly, and, spoken for me only, I don't do that generally! :-) But good to know that my recall is correct, and works as it should be although I am not really the freshest one, referring to my age, LOL! Cheers, AstroSkipper

My mentioned Pentium 4 has the instruction set SSE2. AFAIK, all Pentium 4 have a SSE2 instruction set at least. @Reino didn't provide any hardware details. I didn't want to make assumptions. But, you are absolutely right. If @Reino's CPU is a SSE only one, I can understand why VLC 3 doesn't work, and unfortunately, a lot of other software either. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Ha ha ha , whaaaaat !!??!? Vista without the aero interface , it's like a sea without water . Why would anyone even think of using Vista without aero ? Oh , and media center , IE , windows media player , Bitlocker , all regarding remoting , transfer files , ready boost and all other useless to me features removed with VLite.

So the whole 32GB will be available ? Nice ... This topic is about experience , I have had the most pleasant experience with Vista SP1 , perhaps you know , is there a chance to implement DX11 to it ? Thanks

Oh , thanks for the info , yet another reason to not purchase new cards from Nvidia . I decided to boycott them when they removed 16x and 32x CSAA for no apparent reason and without warnings.

Hi . Do you have any issues with D3D ? What driver ?

What do I have to do to reach such long boot times ? I've tried Vista on many systems , and it is usually like 5 - 16 seconds. And that is on mechanical HDDs. WD Raptor , WD Black , etc . My friend runs Vista on Haswell and the boot time is 5 seconds. Those 30+ seconds seems fair only for 2007 year laptops with slow HDDs. Also , I noticed Vista prefer WD and HGST over Seagate , just my to cents, from my experience.

I think quite alot of people here do , including me. I use SP2 for internet PC and SP1 for gaming . Never installed any updates and still alive. Though, there are some I couldn't avoid , like framework 4.0 and DX11.

Sounds interesting , thanks , I'll try later . Have you ever come around VRAM limitation ? I tried to install Vista x86 (for gaming , without SP) and many games had troubles with videocards if their VRAM was more than 4GB , games were somehow limited to the amount reported by DXDIAG and had stutters . It's like with Vista SP1 a game can use , say 3GB , without SP it only reaches 1.2GB max and then starts to use system RAM DDR3 (terrible freezes). Edit : Tested with Nvidia's Titan , things got even worse , awful stutters with games when reaching 450-500mb only !

I had started using Vista in 2007, right at the very beginning, when it became available at stores. I bought a new PC, made by Siemens in Germany , with preinstalled Vista x86. Processor Core Quad q6600 , 4GB DDR2 RAM and it ran Vista so blazingly fast , of course I had supefetch disabled. Vista seemed nice overall, but the white background drove me nuts , my eyebals coudn't stand it and I went back to Windows 2000 for some time , then I returned (when dark themes became available). I never upgraded to any newer Windows and not going to. I tried Windows 7 , Windows 8 , they were slow and ugly (I'm sorry if someone don't like this, but that's my opinion) , besides all later Windows have terrible sound quality ! They look and sound cheap (again, to my own tastes as a customer).

There's something wrong , it shouldn't be that long . On my system it's like 11-16 seconds. I have Xeon X5440 and DDR3 16GB , HDD WD Raptor 500GB SuperFetch and indexing disabled , of course . Wanted to ask , in my event viewer I'm being bombarded with Terminal service messages because I removed remoting from ISO. How to stop it ? "Registering with ... The specified service does not exist as an installed service , retry in ten minute" Yes "minute" , not "minutes" . Seems like non native speakers working at MS... Edit: Perhaps your uptime is too long because of the updates ? Updates are evil , I have an absolutely clean SP2 , told ya. Oh , and SP1 loads even faster , like 6-7 seconds on my second PC. Windows 7 (without updates) loads much longer , don't remember the exact number, but much , much slower than Vista .
