This is not a problem (only) with legacy browsers. It is also related to the use of tweaks that reduce the ID'ing of one's browsing behavior, even in the newest versions of FF and derivatives. I haven't used legacy browsers (other than icecat, if you can call that legacy) for over six months. And yet, I get annoying cloudfare BS all the time. I blame those who use cloudfare, or similar s*** to "secure" their sites. Do your homework. Make safe your castle on your own. Do not rent knights for hire to do so.

https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz is a deduplicating archiver with encryption and paranoid-level tests. Swiss army knife for the serious backup and disaster recovery manager. Ransomware neutralizer. Win/Linux/Unix. At my request, he created an XP version, back in December. By then my I couldn't test it (my XP setup went poof), and I wonl't be able to test it for a few more months. The package can be downloaded from https://github.com/user-attachments/files/18066173/60_10r_32.zip. Results in Franco's tests can be seen at . Actually, there is now an official release: https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz/releases/tag/61.3 and As per Franco's responses, there is a GUI version (aka: PAKKA) from about 10 years,. no feedback at all, not completed, but I have not been able to test (and have not looked for it either).

Given the nature of the MyPal project -to build a browser that runs in XP while permitting access to "modern" websites- I think constant change/adaptation of whatever can be taken from different versions of FF, and a moving JS target, are unavoidable. It is unlikely I will be running internet applications on XP anymore, but I appreciated and still appreciate the efforts of feodor to maintain development. I did use some of your buttons, Astroskipper, so I also appreciate your work, but it seems to me inevitable that you will have to adapt them with each new version, as MyPal tries to catch up with a moving target that doesn't care about breaking things. Such is the game, and its beauty.

I find this thread interesting from a theoretical point of view. As I was saying: I know for a fact that such SML can be managed with Linux. Assuming it were possible to run a GTX 1050 in XP (irrespective of whether it would allow H/A or not), it would then be possible to dual boot (or Xen-parallely run) XP and Linux, so that with one single setup, with only one card, one could enjoy both the XP tweaked shell, interface and software dear to us, and the rush of training a deep learning SLM, even if with a tiny llama of 2b parameters. Personally it does not affect me: I have an RTX 3060 (now almost in my hands, yay!). Professionally and XPly I care a lot about it. There are XP systems I built running in some of the darkest places of the world, and a well trained, even if very small, SLM could potentially run in such systems. From that perspective, even a slightly more expensive 1070 would make me very happy. Cheers!

Nah, this was back in the mid 2010s. All FF browsers post ff 51 or so dropped H/A. 1050 was nor around.

Besides your momma's rulings, got any evidence for that? I used H/A in MPC and firefox under 52, back then. You don't have to believe me, nor do I want to convince you. Cheers!

I may in the future, I'm setting up a 3060 in Linux, and have a way to go before I start running XP again. In any case, the 1050s are too expensive for their worth, nowadays, and I can barely find 1070s. They will hopefully go back to normal prices when I'm ready for it.

So, I guess that for you CUVID doesn't count as hardware acceleration? "No hardware acceleration worked because XP lacks directX 11"

Define properly and, short a court ruling, provide evidence to sustain your claim. I'm waiting for a GTX 3070, to be run in Linux. I will try and see what I can do with it, in a Xen setup, to run XP. Short of that, I will run it from one of my old quadros, anyway. Again, interesting thread.

As I said 6 or so months ago, my motherboard went belly up and I decided to fully move into Linux Mint. I will start playing with XP, again, in a Xen environment. For that reason, this is a most interesting thread: I understand that the NV GTX 1050 series allows for the deployment of small language (SML) AI (llama, deepseek and such), which can be managed, in a dual boot (and potentially in a Xen setup), with Linux Mint -and will in any case probably give a boost to XP media performance.

Last I checked a few weeks ago (my old motherboard died, and am now replacing my system with linux-mint+Xen+XP but XP will take me a while to get back to, and more likely than not not for browsing), jshelter worked in supermium, and does a very good job preventing fingerprinting, fonts included..

Hi, just to report that the LAST version of ghostscrip in XP is 9.54 (only after applying the two exes and dll xompie treatment- maybe PAE is enough, I didn't check). I haven't tested it thoroughly, but enough to see that it woks far better than the previous GS version I had (9.16) loading content within irfaview. . Cheers! https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases/download/gs9540/ghostxps-9.54.0-win32.zip

Hi, unfortunately i can;t login into mydifitallive foum. My settings (quad9 secutirty, DOH, etc) may be it. I'm looking to try the last MPV build for XP by Maroc. If someone finds the time, would you post it here? thanks!

Hi @Astroskipper. Where can we try these (two?) new buttons?

hi, projects' main page (at least) in gitlab show up empty and with the swirling thingie spinning around.

Those (settings) in XP are discussed at nauseam in the XP sub-forum. Until you get the hang of it, you will have to spend some time, though, and have an XP ready backup image (or many, as you advance). With the specs of that laptop of yours, it will be difficult, but (again), check with Astroskipper, it is possible.

There are many sites I cannot visit with Serpent. The whole bunch of social media, to begin with. For those, I use other browsers that work relatively well in XP. For banks, etc, I use a chromebook, even my phone. If you were using XP, I would suggest you do the same. But for most sites, sp52 is good enough for me, and I feel safer and more private using SP52 with them, than using MP68 or supermium. As per settings, there are of two types.Those in the browser: for firefox derivatives, I keep saying use arkenfox, and have made public most of the tricks I use. It's up to you to find them in this and mypal's threads, and try them. It ain't easy as using vanilla, though. For chrome derivatives, check supermium's (maybe thorium's) thread. Astroskipper's threads on xul browsers and mypal are also good resources.

I will give this a try. I wonder if someone has tried to use nssm (as suggested by @jaclaz) to replace srvany in install.bat Thanks for bringing this back to attention. Cheers!

" Very very very VERY patient" For those who use xul browsers (maybe I exaggerate, I haven't used anything xul but sp52 for 3 years or so) regularly, it's obvious that you have something wrong in your settings. In my case, speed is acceptable - except for ublock loading in startup- and similar to what you get in linux, or a poorly configured W10. But maybe it's that I/we are more patient than the chrome crowd.

Another great read. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20241028-the-failure-that-started-the-internet

Hi Zorba, I misunderstod cmalex's wording, that's all. As per python, I'm a newb (so thank you very much for the indications above). msys-mingw I used to play with back when xp was young and shinny, so everuthing was all setup and updated with little (relative to today) user input, a long time ago. Cheers!

Yeah, rumours from your favorite browser, Mozilla Firefox, about the new lite Ublock. They took it back, apologize and such, to no avail..

Hi there. It's been a decade since I've tried to build something, but all this chat has got me hooked to try and see if old XP can do it. I decided to give a try to MSYS from https://github.com/akosela/msys2-xp, which claims pacman support, using http://files.1f0.de/mingw/mingw-w64-gcc-10.3-stable-r34.7z for mingw32. "This project specifically aims to compile Yamagi Quake II for Windows XP. It includes all of the required dependencies. It also provides some other useful programs: mutt, irssi, tmux, git, ssh, lftp, curl/wget. If you need additional packages that still work under this version of MSYS2 you can take a look here: https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/msys2. Download them to /msys2/var/cache/pacman/pkg and install with: $ pacman -U <package>.pkg.tar.xz" I plan to also play with the minimalist https://archive.org/details/msys2xp, which comes with its own mingw 32 and a (alleged) control of package integrity. I'm on 32, so I delete all 64. In the meanwhile, I've been trying your set "PATH=C:\Python38;D:\Mingw_61\bin;%PATH%", but I run into an issue with "python setup.py -c mingw32": setup.py, not found. I searched in the files and found ...\Python\Lib\test\libregrtest\setup.py. Is that the one I'm supposed to use? Thank you very much, Cmalex (and Zorba).
