Hm, quoting gone wrong...I'll try quoting both separate posts rather than quote the quote... Yeah, I also see it funny, just comes out differently.

Any thoughts? I do agree with how he put it. I'd also add one should try to be kind to oneself. Now I'm a cynic, but can't shake the feeling I'm missing out. The logic tells me it's fine, it's nothing special. But is it really? You know, the theoretical possibilities of how things could be different in a positive way.

I don't think so, because, look at this post for example, and this too, these posts are technical, yet they are posted in non-technical topics, Unless I misunderstood/missed something. Sure, let me try to re-phrase it - it's just if he were to focus on technical topics, they're better off in technical parts since it's where people would naturally look rather than here where we talk about random stuff. Nothing wrong with "off-topic" of course, given the dynamic flow of conversations.

I'll watch these when I'm a bit more attentive (read rested). Another thought:

But then they'd be misplaced if they were here since this is non-technical part of the forum. Very explicit technical topics are better off in the technical side of the forum.

Those entries under [Generated bases], this part of INI is really just a log of what the program chose for rebased files. It's never read.

Maybe this same thing happened to our dear @XPerceniol... I'don't more see his likes under my postings since some days... for a week now... .. javascript website new problem maybe?......too on another forum: xpforums.com..... Yeah, these kinds of messages show when the server doesn't like something. Some web stuff, I guess if more attention was paid in that department during development, manages to show something went wrong message even when there's JavaScript compatibility issue, other just breaks without a friendly message and you only know when you check the console. You think? Well, what you posted...there's some genuinely disturbing stuff there...real stuff... I don't know, I can take some disturbing, at least in fiction. Prototype is an action-adventure. And since there's a virus turning people into monsters and killing/converting protagonist into dangerous being with super strength, that soundtrack is fitting. How about the horror genre, Amnesia: The Dark Descent - set in the Brennenburg castle. Unlike any castle you've visited IRL, if you did. Daniel chose to forget about the things he did, wanders around the castle while Shadow hunting him, experiencing flashbacks of the past, making his way to the Inner Sanctum, managing his sanity along the way, can't stay in the dark for too long, avoiding monsters by running away or hiding. It's deeper than I can describe in a forum post and accompanied by this masterpiece of a soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3A09022A1A1EFD86 Or what about Cry of Fear. These words from the beginning still linger at the back of my mind: There's a cheap jumpscare soon when after you're given control, but the rest, oh my, what a ride that game is. The portrayal of Simon's mind struggling with depression and anxiety, fueled by loneliness and worsened after the horrible accident leaving him in a wheelchair. It also touches the related heavy subjects such as self-harm and suicidal tendencies. 60 tracks, from calm to creepy and unsettling: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUhrsmUI1GsESC5H9r1W3o_N0NkHx2dtT I think boredom was the wrong word, it's not boredom most of the time unless few days during the year when there's not much work. It's just tedious, would prefer if I didn't have to do it or at least not as much. My batteries are drained at the end of the work day and there's never enough time to recharge. I don't know how others manage to do more active stuff outside of work. There was a period when I didn't go to school and didn't work, that was something else. Had the time to live at my own pace. They're talking about 30h work weeks, already practiced by some companies. Supposedly employees are happier overall. I don't know if it'll help me specifically, but maybe (the rest) us youngsters will live to see it. I used to have the energy for more creative endeavors before starting working for a living. Now maybe just smaller things from time to time, nothing like in the past like making sense of disassembled code to assemble patches for old games with bug fixes and such. Interesting read. I'd rather settle for a bit of boredom. He said he didn't use anti-viruses. Also didn't visit naughty sites. Speaking of which, sex sells, right? It wouldn't be in their interest to infect you, huh? On the other hand, yeah, bad actors get involved... Not sure I can link the article since it mentions one very popular such site. I guess that too, good to know. You posted two copies of them, though with the second one, there's some extra parameters in the underlying link. Hey my friend, no never boring, sorry you feel that way, I've just been trying to come up with something intelligent to say here and I've not been reading to much over at XP Forum. Yeah, I don't think they're boring. Coming up with something to say, let alone intelligent? That's something I've been struggling with for my whole existence, especially IRL.

I see, the newer versions have the option in Options, I'd have to check if it's also part of the plugin. Didn't you post something about small things the other day? Unrelated to 360Chrome, but maybe another small, but bizarre thing, weeks/months ago, I noticed KeeFox extension in my Mozilla forks keeps pinging the address for collecting stats. Even with the relevant checkbox disabled. I have mixed feelings on that type of data collection, consider it neither harmful nor particularly useful for any party. But again, I'm no professional developer. The bizarre thing with KeeFox is the frequency, only several seconds apart. And it's the old abandoned version so probably not useful to the developer in either case. Leading me to the somewhat related thing that a lot of data collection on the internet seems oriented towards trying to sell stuff to people. I'm sure they've figured out long ago that I'm hopeless case. Several times already I remembered to check KeeFox and comment out whatever code is doing it, but every time I want to get to it, my mind is like: "Do I really have to?" I don't know, hard to explain...

I take it back, they're not that difficult to find, was just clicking some links on https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends.

Right, there's also https://imginn.com/ for Instagram. I'm most interested in the ones for YouTube, though I'm still sticking to the actual YT most of the time. While Piped has light GUI, it doesn't work with the current SeaMonkey, which I use sometimes instead of Pale Moon, the former is a bit behind on JavaScript features, but a bit more responsive. I'll check the latest version of SeaMonkey sometime in the future, currently lagging for one or two versions behind, worried about extension compatibility, which SeaMonkey is poorer for since it's not a very popular browser and uses different GUI compared to more popular Mozilla based forks + plus some other quirks. I noticed the latest version of Palefill extension doesn't fix GitHub on SeaMonkey anymore... Not a big fan of programming, I did manage to fix DownThemAll! on my own a while back by studying a bit of JavaScript when extension broke when they removed some obscure Mozilla specific JavaScript feature from SeaMonkey. Piped doesn't seem to cache as much video in memory like stock YouTube. Unless the video is long and/or 60 FPS, chances are it will remain in memory on YouTube, so if you put it on the loop, it won't keep re-downloading parts of it.

Reading discussions on Reddit, listening to [PROTOTYPE] soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL17CFC508280229F2 My thoughts are all over the place. Monday will come soon, will have to go back to the usual boredom at the office.

I wonder how many websites in general use certificates with unsupported (on XP) ciphers. I rarely see certificate errors on XP with 360Chrome (don't use the command line switch to ignore cert errors), though I do visit very small handful of web sites. Last time I ran root cert updater was in 2020 (the one by heinoganda). I know it doesn't check and installs some certificates that XP can't stomach.

I know I couldn't do it, seems incredibly stressful, every week, for years.

Presumably due to how Skia renders fonts on Windows or the way it's used. AFAIK, it uses hardcoded contrast constant. Maybe try this extension: https://www.crx4chrome.com/extensions/ombebcdhklmmkcddekoplmobafpkolmd/ Personally I prefer the fonts that come out with combination of Win8.1+ (with tuned ClearType settings) + classic Mozilla based forks (SeaMonkey, Waterfox Classic, UXP browsers). I also noticed newer Firefox versions render them thinner (at least assuming from experience from version 96, things could have changed since...).

Isn't there a checkbox to turn off update checks in Process Hacker? I use 2.39 as rarely as XP, moved on to newer nightly builds on Win10 years ago. Apparently it was renamed to System Informer few months back (https://twitter.com/systeminformer), which I haven't updated to yet.

Yup, search for "struggle to leave bed" (or in own words).

@XPerceniol You know, it was really refreshing to me, discovering anti-natalist community on Reddit. Though I never engaged with them (not yet), being the reserved fella that I am...but it's like all brothers and sisters are there. Besides that it always seemed messed up playing God, that was lurking at the back of my mind for a long time, and the news you hear...I don't really feel good hearing somebody else has it worse than me, don't feel like YEAH, I HAVE IT BETTER THAN THAT PERSON... There was another influencing factor which touched me a lot personally...the fact they're chopping parts of babies'/children's genitals off and make million excuses for it. I'm not in position to be a parent either, but suppose working with children was my thing, had loads of money and a partner, adopting a child without a home would be a decent thing to do.

Comparing abortion to wars seems a bit insidious to me...so basically a fetus (undeveloped human) vs. fully grown, fully aware of the situation human going to the slaughter, returning with a PTSD if he makes it. You won't convince me that the turn of events in the U.S. was a step forward. https://vanderbilthustler.com/2022/06/24/tadross-abortion-is-more-than-a-debate-over-murder/ At the end of the day, every cradle is the grave. Life kills life, humans just happen to be more creative in that department. The game is rigged, there's no winner in this meat grinder.

You can find some videos on YouTube on what to expect from Intel HD 4000.

Yeah, the point of it is to pick address on its own, calculating it from the DLL file name hash. Edit: actually, the starting address can be specified in the INI file, then the actual address will usually be somewhere above that address, depending on the name. I'm not sure, maybe with certain name it would end up at the same spot as starting address. Both LiBase and ReBase support rebasing multiple DLLs at once, so then multiple DLLs would end up somewhere above specified address - ReBase puts first DLL at the specified starting address and the rest of DLLs after the first DLL one after another, LiBase should guarantee they end up above that address and separated between each other at least as much specified in the INI, the default setting of 1 MB is definitely not guaranteeed to work correctly with larger DLLs ( > 1 MB). If you didn't get INI file in downloaded ZIP of LiBase, you can re-download, I've re-uploaded it sometime after initial upload. Though it's possible to figure out what options are read from the INI by reading the source code.

Do I deal with it? If you can call it "dealing with it", I try to comfort my mind with this thought: Funny thing, I only watched The Matrix in recent times, well, about 3,5 years ago actually. Either way, I don't think you're alone. Are you thinking about past friendships and how they've ended? If something lacked on both sides or just one side? I read that as 44,415,533 unwanted people spared from the burden of existence. Things are rough as they are and being a resented child is not good for either party. That said, I think it's better to prevent the situation that makes the abortion the only remaining option.

There's a decent possibility that cloning Win10/11 with Robocopy won't produce the exact copy, see: Maybe it'll boot, at least after making sure BCD is in order, but there could be broken parts, at least in UWP land and possibly other places if they're using new NTFS specifics unless they updated Robocopy to be aware of them by now.

You have more control with ReBase. Seems MinGW's linker uses hash of DLL name by default, similarly to LiBase, at least according to this, though I didn't bother to dig into the source code, which I'd have to find first. Was software as complex as modern web browser a thing in the old days?

I don't do anything special on these occasions TBH. It passes so fast and I believe we all deserve to be a bit lazy from time to time. And no company IRL to do fun stuff with either. While I don't have any apprehensions about leaving the house, at least not for going for a walk, I do gravitate towards staying home in general. I'm not sure what I'd say to someone who struggles to leave the house, honestly. Did read a lot of other people's venting in the past, some struggle to even leave the bed. Yeah, but I mean, what if you don't feel like participating in this freakshow? Heh, those pills had the warning that they may cause suicidal thoughts, which did cross my mind then. "Deaden", right, that was the word I was looking for. Felt nothing and that was more messed up for me than feeling something. When you think about, pharmacy is just another business. And psychiatrist are in place to put you back on the predetermined track if you wander off to keep this system going. Some say pills helped them, but really, they aren't for me. This quote is fitting: I hear ya. But unless we live off-grid in the woods, we're still bound to it one way or another. Going with the flow indeed, it's the only certain thing for me. Ugh, wanted to add something here, but can't figure out how to put it together. Thanks, not sure about strong, but at least health is holding up...for now. Plus George had charisma. I'll try. Well who knows how things would have turned out then. Just a way of expressing myself, personifying depression to make situation sound less gloomy. It's a "she" in Slovenian.

I'm on leave this week, so more relaxed at least. Depression is an old friend of mine, when everyone else is gone, she's still there. I've got dragged to the doctor once, they must have thought my relationship with her got unhealthy. It was weird, the only question I remember being asked by my personal physician is if I have a girlfriend. I've got pills and got referred to a psychiatrist. I only went there once, we were just talking a bit. I asked what's the point of trying to achieve anything since none of it matter when you die. His answer was simply that it matters while you're here. I don't remember anything else from that session. I only took few of those pills (Lexapro - Escitalopram) and oh boy...never again! I don't know how to put it, but it's like they drained me of my essence. Just felt completely empty, so stopped taking them. It was a time when I had no idea how to go on. Finish school or seek employment...both mission impossible. The latter somehow proved possible. Seemingly had more luck than brains, but since then, I guess I am what they call "functional member of society". Kinda lame overall, but I'm sailing through it. With a bit of a mindless, repetitive, passive fun thrown in-between. I imagine I'd be even more lost then than I am now.
