You can read all about it in the Wiki. Deno can't be used on Windows 7. Node can be used if you use this fork. Take node-v20.19.2-win-x64.zip. extract to e.g. C:\Bin\Node and add that folder to your PATH. Can also be done via CMD as administrator: setx /m PATH "%PATH%;C:\Bin\Node" QuickJS can also be used, but it's rather slow (put qjs.exe and libwinpthread-1.dll next to yt-dlp.exe). Then add to your config file: --js-runtimes quickjs Or: --js-runtimes node

Are We Still in the Last Ice Age ??? Climate change just a hoax for some to get very rich. I don't buy into global warming on a large scale ... the Earth gets cold then hot and cold again. Over a span of a person's lifetime ... 60 to 80 years, which is nothing, it could be hot, it could be cold or in the middle. A lot of 'hucksters' got very rich or getting rich pushing this junk. They will die off (not soon enough!) and new ones will pop up talking all this nonsense again for another generation. Most of the dumbbells have never worked a day in their life and live off the population dumb enough to listen to them. It's all being part of the Earth and when certain events happen. Unfortunately we don't live long enough to experience everything ... it may be hot for most of our life or maybe cooler. A volcano or several may erupt and change the climate for a time, as happened in 1816. It's the luck of the draw when we are born to spend a few years on Earth. Some scientists think we are still coming out of the last Ice Age. https://www.amnh.org/explore/ology/earth/ask-a-scientist-about-our-environment/how-did-the-ice-age-end Geologist Ro Kinzler answers this question: When and how did the ice age end? Could another one start? It turns out that we are most likely in an "ice age" now. So, in fact, the last ice age hasn't ended yet! Scientists call this ice age the Pleistocene Ice Age. It has been going on since about 2.5 million years ago (and some think that it's actually part of an even longer ice age that started as many as 40 million years ago). melting icicles We are probably living in an ice age right now! But Earth's climate doesn't stay cold during the entire ice age. The curious thing about ice ages is that the temperature of Earth's atmosphere doesn't stay cold the entire time. Instead, the climate flip-flops between what scientists call "glacial periods" and "interglacial periods." Glacial periods last tens of thousands of years. Temperatures are much colder, and ice covers more of the planet. On the other hand, interglacial periods last only a few thousand years and the climate conditions are similar to those on Earth today. We are in an interglacial period right now. It began at the end of the last glacial period, about 10,000 years ago. ------------------------------------------------- ... then there's the 'Little Ice Age' ... commonly applied to the broader period 1300 - 1850. The Little Ice Age followed the Medieval Warming Period (roughly 900 - 1300 ce) and preceded the present period of warming that began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. https://www.britannica.com/science/Little-Ice-Age Then this story from 1816 but caused by a volcano eruption in 1815 ... 1816 - The Year Without Summer (U.S. National Park Service) https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/1816-the-year-without-summer.htm Remembering Vermont's 6-inch snowstorm in June 1816. https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2022/06/08/remembering-vermont-june-snowstorm-1816/7544554001/ Predicting Snow for the Summer of 1816 https://www.almanac.com/predicting-snow-summer-1816 Would you welcome snow in the middle of summer? Here’s a peculiar prediction: A July forecast of 'rain, hail, and snow' mistakenly appeared in The 1816 Old Farmer’s Almanac. Enjoy this oldie but goodie: Robert B. Thomas, the Almanac’s founder, recalled the books and had new ones printed, but news of that forecast had gotten out. He became the subject of much ridicule - until July brought rain, hail, and snow throughout New England! I always kept my eye out for copies of the 1816 edition. When I occasionally find one, in some antiques shop or sent to me by a reader, I immediately turn to the July and August calendar pages to see whether they contain the famous snow forecasts Thomas supposedly made for that summer. 1816, the Year Without Summer https://historicipswich.net/2025/06/25/1816-the-year-without-summer/ The year 1816 was known as 'The Cold Year' and 'The Year Without a Summer'. In our area, it was called 'Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death' and 'the Summer of Mittens'. Throughout New England, there was frost in every month of the year. The winter had been normal, but in April and May, the cold never went away. Trees remained leafless and brown, and oak trees failed to grow at all, deducible from the missing growth ring for that year. Small migratory birds died, their bodies littering the fields. The sky was hazy with a sulfurous tinge. On June 5, a heat wave raised the temperature in Ipswich to 92°, but that afternoon a cold front swept across New England and the temperature fell to 43° by the next morning. For the next four days, there were severe frosts along the Eastern seaboard, and snow was recorded in some locations. By the 9th of June, ice began to form on water left standing outside overnight. Rapid, dramatic temperature swings continued throughout the summer. ...

As attested already by @j7n, ALL ANDR-S formats are now being 403'd ; in latest yt-dlp releases (stable, nightly, master update channels), the ANDR-S client has been removed: The ios client m3u8 (aka HLS) formats are NOT behind an n/sig challenge, so a JS runtime shouldn't be needed for them, unless you also want the WEB-S client's m3u8 formats ... Thanks ; that rules out, then, directly asking them for a NT 6.0 compatible version ? (though I later realised that a "certain" member is there, too ...) I'll probably will, but likely over the coming weekend ... Thanks for your precious time supporting "legacy" Windows OSes - you're a true hero ...

More bad news (wrt YT and yt-dlp) : https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/11868#issuecomment-2560431566 Oh, BTW, the `--live-from-start` feature on LIVE YT streams is now BROKEN, too : https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/15751 (if you ask me, it's all-out-war Google have unleashed against the YT-downloading apps, but it appears they have their focus especially on yt-dlp ) .

sorry for using that phrasing i wasnt sure how to phrase it just was curious is all

May i ask nicely what peer-reviewed sources do you have that prove the earth isn't doing anything?

I know that he hasn't been here since 02/17/2021. But it doesn't mean he won't answer. First try to send him a PM! The problem is I don't know if I am allowed to provide a link of my copy due to copyright protection. Btw try using the extended kernel. HTTPSProxy won't work either in Windows 2000 without it.

If you've read the post intently you'll have noticed to send a PM if you have trouble or any request.

Here is the post and a download link for HTTPSProxy. The author is Thomas S., a member of this forum. But if ProxHTTPSProxy doesn't work then HTTPSProxy won't work either.

Use a more recent browser like this one: https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2018/05/palemoon-265-for-windows-2000.html?m=0

Only HTTPSProxy but afaik it bases upon ProxHTTPSProxy so it won't work either.

Cloudflare is legit and MANY websites are forced to use it to deal with the huge issue of bots these days. The alternative is to dig through access logs and maintain a block list manually.

I'm not rich in the sense you mean, I clearly have no agenda, nevertheless, I personally observe the global warming affecting my country. Rather recently, the same observation was made by @D.Draker, and what about the winters in your region? How do they feel like, with all these years passing by? You don't have to tell us the exact location. We already understand you're a native English speaker, in contrast to some others. Thank you.

Never mind, ignore those non-English! They have terrible difficulties understanding. You don't have to apologise for your legit, on topic questions! Of course, the earth isn't doing anything, it's constantly trying to get rid of the filth by creating storms, hurricanes, using the polar air recently, but is it enough? Will it get back to the Stone Age?

Just for reading ... these articles posted by this person are usually informative. I just got another notice in the mail that I may have had medical information released by someone no longer working at a large medical organization ... of course not just me but I guess many others are also affected. A few years ago I had the same thing happen, a communications company was involved in a breach. I filled out the forms required online and then got a letter in the mail some time later after the settlement was agreed to. They were sorry but I would be receiving nothing ... there were no 'funds' left to pay anybody. Of course I'm sure the attorneys got paid and then whatever was left was soon exhausted for most of the remaining people ... a waste of time. This new one offers a possible cash settlement or 'one year' of free credit monitoring. Just a 'wild prediction' ... no cash, the attorneys will get most of it. https://www.foxnews.com/tech/5-myths-about-identity-theft-put-your-data-risk 5 myths about identity theft that put your data at risk Why quiet data exposure, not big breaches, is the real driver behind modern identity theft. Kurt Knutsson, CyberGuy Report Fox News / January 28, 2026 Most people think identity theft starts with a massive hack. In reality, it usually starts much more quietly, with bits of personal information you didn't even realize were public: old addresses, family connections, phone numbers and shopping habits. All are sitting on data broker sites that most people have never heard of. During Identity Theft Awareness Week, organized by the Federal Trade Commission, it's a good time to clear up some dangerous myths that keep putting people at risk, especially retirees, families and anyone who thinks they're "careful enough." Let's break them down. ...

Got things working on Intel PCH platforms! The problem wasn't IRQs at all, it was the HD Audio Controller's PCIe transactions no-snoop bit which wasn't getting properly cleared because of a typo in a type-cast (dereferencing it twice ). With no-snoop enabled, what happens is the audio data is written to CPU cache but not flushed out to main memory unless there is some other activity going on to use the cache and invalidate those pages (like Scandisk). I'm not sure if there is a way to explicitly flush the audio buffer to main memory or some flags to AllocateCommonBuffer which I should be passing but aren't Released Alpha-016 https://github.com/andrew-hoffman/WDMHDA/releases

AutoHotkey?

SUPERAntiSpyware stopped Windows XP support with the version 10.0.0.1254 which was the last working installer version. Until the end of last year, it was still possible to update to version 10.0.0.1266 via automatic updates. Since the beginning of the year, this is no longer possible. Users are constantly being nagged to perform a programme update under Windows XP SP3 32-bit that renders the entire installation unusable after application. This is because it updates to the 64-bit version 10.0.0.1282. The old files are of course overwritten, and anyone who has not created a backup beforehand is lost. Luckily, after hours of searching, I found a Norton Ghost image of my other XP partition with the last changed files when SUPERAntiSpyware was updated to the version 10.0.0.1266. That's why I was able to manually restore the destroyed installaton. Furthermore, the size of the virus definition file that is downloaded has increased significantly. As before, it takes forever to load. The only good thing is that the definitions are still being updated at all. So, nothing is fine. You don't need one. I've had a lifetime licence for the Professional version since 2013. It used to be worth something when Windows XP was still supported. Those days are finally over.
