  1. Yes that is what we believe. I blocked fen.peryuck.com (yuck!), and it is not redirecting me to an error page at this time. So everything seems to work. I only need the mail to activate or log into some account, or refresh a sytes.net domain once a month. The adblocker would have to kill a script that goes inside the main page, which then errors out when ads are blocked, to stop it doing so. Maybe Yahoo didn't properly add it. The Ad-Shield guy talked about "billions" of lost revenue from ads, as if they were some kind of resource harvesting machine. Somehow knowing what my machine properties are through tracker scripts would generate them revenue. Most in capitalism only transfer fake money from one another. We may have saved billions of grams of greenhouse gases from being made by not watching ads.
  2. Mail kinda locks you in hard, because other website assume that mail is permanent and the ultimate identity. To log in somewhere, I may need to go to the e-mail and read a code, which is a problem if I no longer have that mail account. Yahoo worked as a good basic mail for a really long time in older browsers. They had a few changes over the years, but not this strong. For a while there were two mail options: basic and more complicated (still looked very plain white and flat). Now there are two refreshing banner ads, and it loads many resources from AdShield all the time to display those banners, more than two pictures.
  3. It seems that Yahoo Mail have just switched to new, slow interface, which doesn't work anymore with New Moon, and tells me to update the browser. The simple/basic/classic mail, which was one of the two choices, is no longer accessible, and the modern one looks entirely new. It has so many ads, holy crap. It uses the unblockable AdShield service I mentioned before from randomized domains.
  4. Maybe a late update doesn't count. Demetrius2003 expects that the system will be bricked with this update. That is why I never install updates unless they fix a specific problem and don't touch other areas. Just extracting advapi32.dll from it is not enough.
  5. It might be that KB3080149 is needed to get EventSetInformation. But since this package adds "Diagnostics and Telemetry tracking service," I'm not going to install it. Yes it seems that QJS outputs colored text to ConEmu. Echoed input is green, and an error message is red. I don't know anything about this... some programs can do colored console text straight into Windows console. I like ConEmu because it is relatively small and runs on my computer. But I don't know a practical use for it yet.
  6. Maybe I need some update for running Node 20. The procedure entry point EventSetInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll.
  7. The message to log in to prove I'm not a bot went away by itself later. QuickJS seems to take 10 seconds to do its thing on my computer. When I run it in command prompt on Server 2008 R2, why do I see garbage characters after typing something, like "\h"? t:\working\qjs>qjs QuickJS - Type "\h" for help qjs > ←[32;1m\←[0m←[J←[D←[32;1m\←[0m←[32;1mh←[0m←[J
  8. YouTube just stopped working for me completely. First it required me to supply cookies. After a bit of fiddling, I used --cookies-from-browser chromium to obtain a 400 kB file with all cookies. Then I supplied it with --cookies. The errors were: "Sign in to prove that you are not a bot." Then: "n challenge solving failed. Ensure that you have a supported JavaScript runtime." https://imgur.com/a/g7hUh6R I forgot what the JavaScript runtime was, only that they were several choices that people described as very slow. I haven't got them. The mode also switched from "android vr" to "tv downgraded".
  9. No because the denial to access a site comes before and then javascript is needed to pass. Disabling javascript is for a different problem where the site obstructs part of the content with a paywall or doesn't let you select text or right-click.
  10. You must enjoy the opening delay on XP-level hardware if you use lzma instead of NRV. I see no reason to use Ffmpeg as a downloader of DASH streams or others. DLP is a downloader. Nor to use it for encoding with Lame, when I have lame.exe. Use the one tool that does one job well instead of a jack of all trades, and which can have its version updated or reverted independently. The use of ffmpeg is for its native libavcodec codec and the formats it supports well. I don't use ffmpeg at all in conjuction with DLP. Video downloads can be played directly with MPC-HC, which bundles a copy of ffmpeg inside already. Those videos that need to kept after watching, can be muxed later.
  11. What matters on MSFN is the duration of the root certificate that the website's certificate is linked to. Many sites supply their own certificates that are linked to a trusted authority. ISRG Root X2 is valid until september 2040. Root YE is valid until september 2032, and YE2 until september 2028.
  12. The program still working well through the 'android vr player' module. I haven't had a need to install external modules. I also use the website, so maybe youtube knows that I am not just leeching. A conversion from FLAC to MP3 is such a common task that you can use a range of programs that link flac and lame together.
  13. Where do SSL certificates in Supermium come from? I haven't had a need to run any updaters, and I don't update my Windows.
  14. Why use SP2 still with modern applications? Is it an old installation?
  15. New Moon 2026-03-19 now works for me if I am patient while it executes the script. Of course, Supermium also works and is blazing fast.
