I spent my vacation at a nice hotel located on a charmingly beautiful island Sint Maarten. The islands in the Dutch Caribbean, part of the colonies, now Constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Caribbean Sint Maarten is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and as such the Monarch of the Netherlands is head of state, represented locally by a governor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint_Maarten I've been there several times before, and always liked it! So far, I visited many, but my ultimate goal would be to visit all islands in the Dutch Caribbean.

Just to give you all a laugh, I'm still using Norton Utilities 2002 on XP (and Windows 98), but that's a bit off-topic as that never actually included an anti-virus option. It all still works though! BTW I don't think that list on page 1 is a 'blacklist', it's just a list of abandoned programs, which there's no point in using anyway, and Kaspersky which has well documented security concerns about it so 'use at your own risk'.

Greetings. Sorry. My English is bad and getting worse... https://mega.nz/folder/68dj2YTY#As2w31IO4Smr7gy6p1ciSg ProxyMII_230813.7z. But i didn't know how to get ProxyMII to work with WebSockets. And, please, take look at Privoxy3.0.35_231208.7z - looks like it open onlyfans.com normally. Thanks for You. Official releases of Cryptography (at least >=40.0.0) didn't work in Windows XP. Cryptography 40.0.2 for XP i can compile from sources with rust 1.48 (with i7-4770/Win8.1) - but it requires SSE2 instruction set (from some prebuild library?). Theoretically it's possible to build rust compiler "from scratch" - but i get lots of errors. So i can't test Cryptography 40.0.2 on my primary system (Athlon 2000+/WinXP). Cryptography 41.0.0 use rust 1.56. Even "Hello world!", compiled with rust 1.56, fails on XP. Best regards.

To add to Roy's reply, Mozilla's "BugZilla" doesn't only contain "bugs" in the sense most of us we'd use that term for ; "bugzilla.mozilla.com" has many entries for purely "new features" (these days, mostly backported from Chromium) or new "executive decisions" implementation; e.g. Mozilla dropping support for NT < 6.1 was "bug" () #1130266: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130266 When a Bugzilla "entry" is being cited in the UXP repo/changelog, this means that relevant code from that "entry" was used (as a starting point, at least) to implement a similar feature/fix a similar "bug"/etc. in UXP itself; after all, Mozilla is UXP's "upstream"... I hope this clears things fully now ...

Fellas, tell where you spent your summer holidays?

You're welcome! I thought you perhaps wanted to see a correctly sized "Hellenic" flag. You see, I can always learn something new. This thread here is the absolutely correct place for such discussions. That was actually the reason I created this thread. And I think you already know this, I love extensions.

The reason I suggested to use CRT's iconsize attribute setting to large icons was that it might fix problems with other extensions in terms of correct toolbar icon sizes, too. In such cases, there would be no need to modify the affected extensions. The Photonic theme is unfortunately buggy. Therefore, you have to do a lot of trickery to correct any display errors of pop-up windows or anything else, as they do not actually occur when using the default theme. Actually, these extensions are working properly for themselves. I fear the truncated pop-up window of IP Geolocator can't be fixed easily. Using the Photonic theme, changes in IP Geolocator's file main.css are not really taken into account. Many settings are simply overwritten by this theme. I already tested that. I believe a proper fix can only be done to the Photonic theme by the author. Inside its xpi file, there are tons of css files. Trial and error would be a never-ending story. And TBH, I personally haven't used any themes at all for a long time, neither in New Moon nor in Serpent. Themes cause very often display errors sooner or later. At least, that's how it was for me.

... As a side note, the extension natively supports the official Basilisk browser application; the XML block below: </em:targetApplication> <em:targetApplication name="Basilisk"> <Description em:id="{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}" em:minVersion="52.0" em:maxVersion="52.*"/> </em:targetApplication> suggests it should install (and auto-update, as needed ) on Serpent 52.9.0, too ; FWIW, should you wish to install on St55, you'd have to "raise" em:maxVersion to "55.0.0" ... Greetings.

Update notification! GetEmAll! has been updated and is now in the version 1.2.4 available. I mention it because the automatic update function in New Moon 28 won't offer it. For this browser, the extension has to be downloaded manually, and its compatibility has to be adjusted in the file install.rdf manually, too, such as shown here: Original: </Description> </em:localized> <em:targetApplication name="Pale Moon"> <Description em:id="{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}" em:minVersion="29.0" em:maxVersion="32.*"/> </em:targetApplication> Modified: </Description> </em:localized> <em:targetApplication name="Pale Moon"> <Description em:id="{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}" em:minVersion="28.0" em:maxVersion="32.*"/> </em:targetApplication> Here is the link: https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/getemall/ Cheers, AstroSkipper

I used Norton Systemworks 2004 which included Norton Utilities and Norton Antivirus and was installed by me under Windows ME and XP. This antivirus version was unfortunately not very effective in preventing popups and malicious code injected by dubious websites I surfed at that times, especially if using the Internet Explorer.

Here's a blast from the past that I'm still using. ZoneAlarm. But not the later bloatware versions but back when it was lean and mean... v2.6 Its use as a firewall is mostly redundant as nowadays that kind of stuff is handled at the router, but as an egress filter I still find it very useful. I'm still routinely disappointed how the first thing some 'legitimate' software wants to do is to phone home. I also think it's a good protection against malware that rides on the back of another program and whose job it is to open the door to the fetching of the real nasty. ZoneAlarm will warn when a program you weren't expecting tries to connect to the internet. Ben.

Now that that’s finally been settled, I would like to suggest adding Norton to the blacklist on page 1 as another “Should be avoided” product. This should not cause any controversy, since no one at MSFN has admitted using Norton for as long as I can remember. I believe the final maintenance mode version was 22.15.5.40, and definition updates were never cut off AFAIK, but it’s hard to be certain when you don’t know of any XP users with a Norton licence. https://community.norton.com/en/blogs/product-update-announcements/norton-2215-windows-xp-windows-vista-windows-7-sp0-now-available

I use the tool USBDLM. It is freeware, developed in Germany by Uwe Sieber, still updated and compatible with Windows XP. The latest version is USBDLM 5.5.9 from 09.07.2023. This is a quotation from the English version of the homepage to get an idea what this tool is about: Additionally, it reports successfully (connecting and) disconnecting of any USB drives via a systray balloon tip to let the user know when the drive can be unplugged safely. Therefore, I do not need an extra tool for a safe remove of USB drives. Homepage: https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html Cheers, AstroSkipper

At the bare minimum, it has been abundantly clear that OVER 95% of the "likes" and "upvotes" in these XP antivirus threads come from "members" that not only do not run XP, but also do not run antivirus on their non-XP. I cite again the average age (don't care if you're not over 40, I cite the average), makes me think this is what the early stages of Alzheimer's looks like, all of us talking to ourselves and thinking others are listening. The vast majority of "likes" and "upvotes" have more to do with political spectrum agreeance than actual topic/post "content" - Ooh, Professor X just posted something, I better sign in and hit the Like Button!

I personally do not think actual threats even exist! Not for the net-savvy MSFNer. I also don't think anybody here uses those antivirus threads to actually pick an antivirus product and start using it. I am in the camp that nobody here at MSFN (aside from maybe THREE of us) actually run antivirus. But what do I know?

Definitely bad web design. But it's not like we can blame "modern web" for that design. https://caniuse.com/?search=css animation

There's also USB Disk Ejector, lightweight and open-source USB removal tool, another good free alternative to the USB Safely Remove. https://quickandeasysoftware.net/software/usb-disk-ejector Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 (32 and 64 bit)

no, they use gitea's issue tracker. dbsoft is referencing mozilla's bugzilla entries.

You're probably right, but Serpent gobbles CPU on that page even under Win 7. I should say that I don't know enough about GPU programming to know what it would take to bring down the CPU usage on an XP- (or even a Vista-) compatible browser. Even if it's possible, though, it's probably not worth doing since it's so easy to just kill these animations.

On my Win7 quad-core at the moment and you can see the CPU drop as soon as I turned off that STUPID animation.

it's stupid to leave it scanning your computer nonstop if you don't download software programs I have yet to find a website with malicious JS code that would infect my computer with a single mouse click. AVAST is by far the BEST AV for XP these days, fast and efective enough

[ie/youtube] Fix consent cookie (#7774) Fixes #7594

I think the main culprit is this: https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/vVqCiuMuYjtIEG4538PA7zjsBOXQi37pmfABOgXoEQY.css ...with its CSS Animations. This interests me as I really hate webpages that gratuitously consume CPU after they've rendered. Fair enough if its essential to the function of what's being displayed but not just to add some pointless effects. I came across this as a panacea to killing all CSS Animations: * { /*CSS transitions*/ -o-transition-property: none !important; -moz-transition-property: none !important; -ms-transition-property: none !important; -webkit-transition-property: none !important; transition-property: none !important; /*CSS transforms*/ -o-transform: none !important; -moz-transform: none !important; -ms-transform: none !important; -webkit-transform: none !important; transform: none !important; /*CSS animations*/ -webkit-animation: none !important; -moz-animation: none !important; -o-animation: none !important; -ms-animation: none !important; animation: none !important; } Which I reduced to this: * { transition-property: none !important; transform: none !important; animation: none !important; } It certainly improves that Reddit page. Ben.

Perhaps it needs a dedicated topic here? I'm pretty positive most don't even have github accounts to ask questions.

XP can't properly read, decipher modern certs, even though the import was a success. It's just can't. No matter what format used. As for Manifest V3 to Manifest V2 https://docs.automationanywhere.com/bundle/enterprise-v2019/page/enterprise-cloud/topics/product-feature-lifecycle/switch_mv3_to_mv2_manually.html

Does this matter? StorAhci was sample for 8 and now we have XP compatible code. Even If it will work only for Vista - 7 then its fine, we need to solve more Generic GPU issues on 5.1 - 6.1. I just checked how Kai modded his code to make it WDK 7.1 compatible. I have these samples for 8.0 so its same branch as Storahci. I hope its possible to compile it using WDK 7.1 then we can get XP-7 compatible driver

Now we talking! So get your arse off the sofa and start resisting! Before it's too late! Form a movement, get support from businesses who are fed up with the agenda crap and just want to make money in a free and safe state. Make up a short and sweet name, like WLM (white legacy matters) or smth. The indoctrination of kids is imported from the well known commie countries. Don't you get it ? Read history, it's how any totalitirian state begins to emerge. Be prepared : up to 75 percent in your movement will be working for the FBI (whio aren't on you side now), but that doesn't mean you will never get sympathies from them. Just be on your guard and act with caution. Later on, when you get enough money - start recruiting pros. (ex-CIA, for example). Some foreigners would do good, take only those who aren't infiltrated by chinorussia, I can help you with the screening. If you ever need my help, just call D.Draker, my boys and me, we are always ready. Your FBI/NSA has no jurisdiction over us. I shan't post any more details here, publicly. P.S. I do consult, also. Strategies, PR, joint force tactical operations command, cyber ops/security - all well within my area of expertise. Later years - psy ops (as a hobby), though I still consider myself a novice in that regard. And, maybe, some day we meet, I'll teach you the proper English spelling personally, while we both protect America from the aliens of all sorts.

I do. That's why I'm busy and don't sit here often.

Where were you 20 years ago? Did you have an internet connection? They already tried to push that agenda in European Union, somewhere in 2006! Plenty of creepy looking games without blood! Yes, the body just falls and no blood gets out, example Sacred (First, good German Sacred RPG with blood) and bloodless Titan Quest. That's a sure way to p*ss off many gamers, thus provoking real violence! P.S. Looks like your finger got stuck on SHIFT or CAPSLOCK.

I’m glad that Hollywood finally stopped making those old things. Means both of you not only (how should I put it politely about your English?) rather off the charts with your English, but also know nothing (zero) about human psychology. Films (movies, how you call it), be it westerns, Rambo, Bond, are meant to let off steam, here, enjoy my wisdom, lol. Add bloody brutal games to that list.

People, chicken, children, hair, etc is already plural, lol.

I quit celebrating my birthdays at 18, so I'm always young. I still take gifts, though. Dating much younger women and going to the gym also helps. But the most important is to have the right mind set,

Excuse me, I'm just curious what made you think Astroskppper may have some sort of diagnosis?

Thank you for your kind words! TBH, I don't believe to be always objective. I am a human individual and primarily shaped by my own subjective experiences. And because of my advanced age, I inevitably made a lot of them. I try to maintain a certain objectivity, but as long as it is not scientific in nature, I am bound to fail. What do you exactly mean with some sort of diagnosis?

In English it's "legacyfan and I". Now you owe me 50 bucks for the English lesson. So it should be like this. "legacyfan and I are not that stupid, sir. Please, excuse us, sir." Here, fixed it for ya.

Bedlam is more like purely British, booby hatch is Transatlantic, I guess. I'm terribly sorry, we aren't really familiar with the nuances of Amercian English here. 100% schools in Europe = British English. AU, NZ, Canada, South Africa , India and pretty much the rest of the world = British English. I also understand it like it was my first language, similar spellings and words.

Hello , i'm sorry I don't quite understand the purpose of this build. One won't be able to play with GT710. It's weak even for office use. If you insist on bying from Amazon.in only , then I'd suggest to replace it with GTX 950 2GD5 OCV1 , they are available there and it is fully supported on Vista. Also , maybe I'm a bit of old school , but I don't like SSDs , any of them. WD Blue 10EZEX is fast enough for this build. 550W (if it is a true 550W PSU) would be more than enough for this whole system with the replaced GPU.

Whaaat !??! It is way too expensive. Some prices are the same as here (like WD 1TB) . Don't buy Corsair. This model is cheaply made , the best PSU ever is FSP ATX 450PNF (this one can work for a decade without breaking a sweat) or FSP600-80GHN also good. As for the video card , the best is GTX780/Titan (7th gen.) I didn't like GTX970 , 1070 . Soon I will test GTX980 and if it is also bad , I'll find a used Titan.

I was looking for these items in the US , with shipping to my country , the prices are for US , yes that ridiculous 50 bucks for G3470. By the way , our local second hand market is cheaper than used items on ebay , much cheaper . I'm so glad I bought everything I need back in the day. Regarding Amazon , it's not conveneint for me . Their shipping policies are awful . For exanple , I order several items in one order . They can easily send it with several deliveries ! And if ordering from the abroads , one can never know which company they will use for delivery ! I have had hard times with Fedex , so I do not want to use it ever again , yet I can't choose when ordering from Amazon , besides our local stores are much cheaper and they are close.

There's nothing cheap nowadays . If you see a "cheap" price , that's for locals only . Ebay's "global shiping" price is just outrageous , it also has whooping fees , like for example , search for Intel G3470 , it costs somewhere between 40-50 USD , plus shipping (30 - 40 USD) , plus ebay fees "See import charges at checkout" and my country's VAT , it will be way over 120USD. I bought it NEW seven or six years ago for smth like 60 Euro (about 80 USD at that time). This used should cost no more than 20 bucks shipped. Will you find you find such price ? No . Edit : just checked videocards . OMG : 7- 8 y.o. GTX780 for 130 - 250 USD , plus shipping, starting from 70 and up to 180 USD !!! (plus my country tax)

well , I thought so, but thanks for checking. I don't actually think I'm gonna need any of those . I play old games .

Yes , it is blazingly fast. No need for expensive hardware.

It's not the same , are you sure ?

5.9 all , I beleive it's the maximum . But I have 5.9 even on much older PC with Core Quad.

I mean the patch PAE by wj32

Well , I would've try , but it's not making any sense now . 72 is old already. Besides ,what are the features of plain chrome , Opera has hide IP (at least). Besides , I'm still fighting for DTS HD , kinda busy . Perhaps I will try later and inform you.

Went down to Opera 42 , nothing works , now without any errors , just won't start at all . Someone here using Opera ? Oh. and Chromium ungoogled 84 , 85 , 86 won't launch at all too , those files din't help ... Someone here using Chromium ungoogled ? I can't stand Firefox (just my preference, sorry). It's not that I'm a fan of chrome , just chose between the two evils. Thanks

Thank you very much , really appreciate.
