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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why use SP2 still with modern applications? Is it an old installation?

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.

I am currently limited to using Server 2008 R2, and Supermium Version 132.0.6834.224 (Official Build) (32-bit). I haven't updated because other than the ffmpeg issue, it works great. Don't fix what isn't broken. There might be a glitch where it uses more memory on WinXP. After scrolling Facebook's main feed for a long time, I got the commit charge to about 1 GB and it would fluctuate around that number. I have 8 GB of memory. This was more continuous scrolling that I could ever read. I wouldn't keep the tab open continuously after finishing with the task. https://i.imgur.com/peXNaAq.png

I only use 32-bit Supermium and haven't experienced any significant problems on normal sites, even the heavy app ones like Discord or YouTube. The multi-process nature allows the browser to use all available memory. On XP you can "only" access about 1.5 gigs per process. The site I ran into problems tried to load ffmpeg webassembly for converting media files in the browser. The native exe is just over 100 MB. But the site used over 3 GB of RAM after switching to the 64-bit version. That is insane.

I see the hiew.ru page in all browsers. The IPs of the server are 13.248.177.206, 76.223.53.100.

Apparently multiple news sites are behind Ad Shield and 80% recipe sites have "switched to it overnight". https://www.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/1qk1eoe/many_recipe_sites_being_blocked/ If they are readable without JavaScript, which stops everything including Ad Shield from running, that is the easiest method to access. I don't want to jump between web browsers if they are by and large the same engine with a different skin, and each takes some time to set up and disk space.

The message "problem loading the page" is not a fault of the browser, but a condition created by the script that tries to access blocked Ad Shield servers (html-load, content-loader, unfreezehuge). This is seen as a "problem" because those indeed could not be loaded. Supermium works fine for all I need. Of course uBlock Origin can have a finer control over what is blocked than a DNS or IP filter, and it can probably disable the master script that is embedded in the mage or work around it somehow.

The site indeed can be read with JavaScript disabled. In classic Opera you could disable JavaScript at any point after the initial load and formatting. With today's browsers it can only be disabled entirely. Apparently this company is called "Ad Shield" and it's been around for a year or so. But I encountered it for the first time. I'm getting the repeating error message even on New Moon after a full reload. "PiHole" is a DNS blocker like what I am doing with Mikrotik. This works really well with freeware smartphone games, in combination with a sniffer to discover the domains. https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/1sw89js/psa_the_anti_adblock_service_ad_shield_is_coming/ "Ad Shield" seem to be really upset about "dark traffic" because we don't load Google analytics. Maybe they should have not overloaded a page with a hundred calls to such analytics to upset us.

I tried to visit a website called a-z-animals.com today. It initially displayed, and then a moment later changed to a message about adblock being active. https://a-z-animals.com/animals/giant-wood-moth/ It turns out that it makes use a dedicated service to ensure advertisements don't get blocked. It makes a gazillion requests to multiple domain names. Some of them seem to be comprised of nonsensical words and likely will keep changing. I have noticed this strategy used by ad providers before. The ad-system is protected by CloudFlare and therefore cannot blocked by IP ranges without also blocking other CloudFlare sites. CloudFlare is becoming a menace of the Internet in multiple ways. I guess the only way is use an in-browser adblocker who will fetch the ads but hide them, which I don't want to use for non-essential websites. Blocking by IP has successfully worked for me with other ad networks that have many domains. I use a NAT rule to redirect IPs from a list to a dummy server. An error is returned immediately and the website opens without delay. After blocking all domains that I found, I can read the website in New Moon. But in Supermium I am interrupted by a message "There was a problem loading the page." .*html-load\.com .*content-loader\.com .*unfreezehuge\.com ad-delivery.net error-report.com report.error-report.com Even if I wanted to disable adblock for this particular site, I couldn't do it because it is implemented in DNS.

LBA was expanded to 48-bits. At first it was 28 bit. But disk controller drivers were slow to be adapted for the full range. Since old Windows could only support a 2 TB disk at most, there was no need for driver authors to provide more. But Windows 2003 added support for GPT, which could address a bigger disk.

Since modern sites can easily fully load an old CPU by doing silly things, it's best if not all cores are fully loaded, then we can at least close the browser.

With Intel Rapid Storage driver you can use a 4 TB disk under Windows Server 2003. I haven't tested the built-in driver, but I suspect it to work because Windows 2003 advertises support for large volumes. Aligned partitions have been the norm for a long time and work well. Every SSD gets aligned. You will be only using a giant disk for a data volume not boot, so any issues betwene booting and alignment won't even arise.
