    I'd say it's an issue of reduncdancy. I suffered my first and only attack in 1996 or so. I realized it was done through netscape, I think, export edition. Since then, first with 95-99, then with XP, I have tweaked my set up in so many ways that I have problems myself installing stuff (which I don't do, spare a few necessary exceptions, nowadays) or even running some software, unless I do such and such. I assume we all do such things, in as many ways as we can, reduncdantly but effectively preventing intrusion, even if one takes a chance out there, after observing the terrain, now and then.

    One more (and very old) reason to disable webgl. Did you just get the memo? Or are you just fud-ing your way around?

    It's a good thing there is a thread already. I can post the ones I use, and how I change them (when I do). As per your query, I have no proficiency to tell what works or not, other than by usage.

    Actually, it would be nice to start a monkey business thread, so all these scripts are available in one place.

    Hi, I have managed to set up a full setup, with extensions and customizations. Still some issues regarding access to some sites, like whastappweb, and rather high yt ram load. As per BOD, I suffered them when trying to add too many addons together. Other than that, no crash. It's getting there.

    Thanks! Interesting. For some reason, I never could access that setting in my set up (see attached image), in any of the 360 mods. I thought it was just like that, but now I guess it's just the way I cripple things in poor old xp. Is there any other way to do it? Gdrive runs much better in chrome, but dealing with pdf files is a minor pain, right clicking saving as and such

    Hi. How do you disable them and force download?

    Testing now. I use 360 for big social media, and for what st52 can't handle (to see if 360 or mypal do). So far, the youtube rendition is excelent: fast, crisp, with required tweaks neither nags nor ads, very good sound (using system settings tweaked to my taste). Whasapp is ok, on its own I can run a session for a few minutes without a crash, which is good enough for my ocassional use of said beast outside the phone. Facebook works fine (after some initial hickups with tampermonkey-social fixer fb), with faster and crearer audio-video than before (says placebo). Debasing would be great, though. RAM usage is very good once a heavy social media page is fully loaded and running; loading it is very RAM expensive, though, particularly if you are running two or more social media tabs (say fb and yt, yt and wup, so on so for). Thank you very much for sharing this.

    Completely understandable.

    There are some good extensions too, for example https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clear-cache-and-data/

    syncthing on XP

    dmiranda replied to dapgo's topic in Windows XP

    I tried it, but didn't quite manage to configure it properly, and gave up. I use the latest version android and linux.

    Run your profiles on ram, and have a fit to your taste places.sqlite (or of all the files you want to be always the way you like them in your profile) copied into the profile folder (using a bat file, for instance).

    It used to in (my memory) 2017-18. Back then many things forgotten today were still possible, and had to be abandoned, after unfettered market power exercised by a few corporations began to try to stop users from using a piece of software -XP- that, when well tuned, helped make a third world country's rover photograph what none had seen of the moon, before. Cheers!

    No problem at all, only I like better the sound I can get with lavaudio, particularly when using lavvideo with cuvid. My personal comp is old, but still good enough, including two nvidia quadro. Back in 2018-9 I used NM27 just because of that. When I moved to ST52 (I think we had chat about it in previous versions of this thread), I continued to hardcopy my lav files into the basilisk folder, until you told me that was in vain. Until then, for a few months, I kept tweaking my settings, wondering why they didn't affect the rendering of ST52 :P I'm all for foss, when I can.

    Hi, in line with the latest discussion on audio decoder, I wonder if there may be a way to force st52 to use lav instead of the built-in ffmpeg?

    XP with 16 GB RAM

    I couldn't replicate in a fresh profile, so it may have been something in the social media profile, that build, and my state of mind (m=ec2, c is required to be constant in a given space-time block, but c may be changing, as we speak, and no one will notice, until later, when it becomes common sense: life is a state of mind). Roytam1's new latest build presents no issue on my side. Cheers!
  18. dmiranda
    @roytam1, I took a while (one week!) to test your last build. I really like it. I have no idea why this may be (other than because I've been using one or two of your builds daily since 2016-2018 or so), but I like this latest version, very much. However, I have noticed that visiting linkedin or gmail, I get a rather surprising bug. I can access them better now than with the last remains of chrome in XP. But page down (or something, I'm not yet really sure) results in a recurrent keyboard-tab command link by link in the page, then up and then all over again, until pressing escape. I don't yet know if that is just me (like freak in scanner darkly), or not. PS: It is either a bug or that the gang of 4 or 5 experts on everything they've never tried before has found mine hiding hole. I've got an stify already.

    You dinn't try to download tuggy221.doc.exe, did you?

    Any counterindication ref leaving these off? I like the idea of 32mb ffmpeg, but I use one ffmpeg set, hardlinked to the very many programs that use it. I have been using https://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/files/ffmpeg/?C=M&O=D, which works in all programs I use that use fffmpeg, except for the last xp version of kmplayer, which only likes its own.

    You should read more carefuly, Milkinis: "it has to be a combination of changes in fb and settings in the firewall, etc., not changes in the browser(s) -unless those who see these lateral bands have altered the UA." I confirm what you are showing (an m.facebook+ rendition of facebook) but others in this thread have shown they don't have that problem. So it has to be something in the way we have tweaked our systems, relative to what the web asks of these "old" browsers. PS: viejos son los trapos - old are our flags.

    I congratulate the new owner of basilisk, @basilisk-dev, for setting the stage for this change, and Moonchild for having reformed its development team into a more amicable gang that what used to be the case long (hopefully) ago. Above all, I congratulate and thank @roytam1, for the consistency and quality of his work over the years: whenever the history of the decade long siege the oligopolistic gang imposed (mostly unsuccessfully) against XP just to maintain rents is told (I'm sure there will be a PhD or two out there with the capacity and interest to do so), you will be remembered, mate (and those who were helpful to you). They shall not pass.

    In old 360chrome 13.x, it suffices to save and copy over the profile the extensionless Preferences AND Webv Data files (which you should save once all settings, including search engines, are done).
  24. dmiranda
    I also noticed the recent missing lateral bands, both in fresh 360Chrome and sp52 profiles. So, as noted above, it has to be a combination of changes in fb and settings in the firewall, etc., not changes in the browser(s) -unless those who see these lateral bands have altered the UA. If it were a question of censorship, fb works with TOR, so you can check if that makes a difference.
  25. dmiranda
    Same idea as canvasblocker on random, for sp52?
