The MSFN café - A Penny for Your Thoughts
NotHereToPlayGames replied to XPerceniol's topic in Funny Farm
I don't think they will, not "soon". National average gas price per gallon here in the States is currently $3.66 with inflation concerns already front-burner for many economists. I think too many countries are concerned with oil prices skyrocketing if they intervene. I've personally always been an "advocate" for $5 per gallon gas prices - to curb wasteful consumerism, far too many people drive to six different grocery stores in a three-day period instead of actively maintaining a grocery list and manageing their pantry for one grocery store run every 12 to 14 days instead of twenty four trips in 12 to 14 days. I do not think $5 per gallon gas would "hurt" our economy, not if people stopped making 3 to 4 times the number of grocery store trips then they really need to be making. My last 19-gallon fill-up lasted me three months! My neighbor fills up her Toyota Prius every four days! And she has the nerve to look down her nose at me for driving an SUV! Some people really don't know how to see the "bigger picture". -

My Browser Builds (Part 3)

I have 7+ computers and all run XP. I have never bumped into what is being described either. However, and only one one of my computers (XP x86 on a 1.8 GHz Sempron 3100+ with 2.0 GB RAM), I have noticed where one (and only one) website would take roughly 40 seconds before timing out with a cannot connect error. I would have to wait for the cannot connect error then switch from WebKit to IE kernel where it would connect. After the IE kernel connected, I would then switch back to the WebKit kernel and it would connect this time. I had to do that for something like two weeks and then it finally started working on its own. The best I could tell at the time was that it was server-related and not something on my system.

Guess I'm at a loss. I don't have much experience with the Humming Owl releases since I have my own releases. (I applaud the Humming Owl releases, but I throw a shoe at the screen every time I see a "nag screen" when I try a Humming Owl release.) I would reiterate to DISABLE any-and-all 360Chrome settings that claim to improve speed and reiterate to DISABLE any-and-all "list-based" extensions. Do you observe this initial delay if your very first web browser visit is in an incognito window?

Have you tried a couple different DNS Servers so as to rule out DNS? Also, disable (at least temporarily) any anti-virus or "ad-blockers" or "list-based" extensions so as to rule them out.

This sounds like a DNS issue to me. I would personally DISABLE any DNS cacheing and see if your delay goes away. I would also DISABLE any-and-all settings that claim to improve speed! Also, watch the status bar area and see if it says something to the effect of Resolving Host during these observed delays.

You shouldn't need to add these if you have the correct certificate installed. The certificate that should be added to the operating system's store is called proxcert_certonly.pem Also, please note that I could not get Proxomitron Reborn to generate a working certifiate from the original proxcert.pem, I had to create an updated proxcert.pem first and then generate a certificate from that updated proxcert.pem.

Run ProxhttpsProxy outside of a VM. Is that possible?

I couldn't find a way -
You have to install the certificate into BNavigator. If you have 20 web browsers, you may need to do this for all 20 of those web browsers as many web browsers have their own set of certificates independent of the Operating System's set of certificates. Go to Vista's Internet Properties -->> Connections tab -->> LAN settings button -->> checkmark the box that says to use a proxy server -->> Advanced button -->> set HTTP and Secure to use localhost on port 8080 In BNavigator, go to Edit -->> Preferences -->> Proxies -->> set to Use system proxy settings In BNavigator, to to Edit -->> Preferences -->> Certificates -->> Manage Certificates -->> Import --->>> import the Proxomitron certificate that you created after you figured out your ClamWin was making life too difficult (I check all three boxes)

Nothing really out of the ordinary is required for 360Chrome (do note that 360 Explorer and 360Chrome are not the same browser, I've not used 360 Explorer). Go to Vista's Internet Properties -->> Connections tab -->> LAN settings button -->> checkmark the box that says to use a proxy server -->> Advanced button -->> set HTTP and Secure to use localhost on port 8080 Make sure that 360Chrome is set to Use IE Proxy

I haven't used Chrome 49 for quite some time but if memory serves, it forces you to use the same proxy as XP's Internet Explorer unless you jump through hoops to get around that. I used an extension called "Proxy SwitchySharp" (version 1.10.7). The developer has moved on to "Proxy SwitchyOmega" but I kept my v49 at SwitchySharp.

I've personally "given up" on UXP browsers 360Chrome v11 (Chromium 69) has been able to do 99% of everything I've thrown at it then I use 360Chrome v13 (Chromium 86) for that tiny 1%. I kinda don't see myself returning to anything-Mozilla until @feodor2's Mypal "2.0" hits the scene (very likely delayed due to recent geopolitical events) - looking forward to seeing what it will have to offer. Please stay safe, @feodor2

My weekend venture - One of the neighbors requested I set up a budget for her since she's now on Social Security and on a fixed income. She was bragging over the weekend that her water bill went down $3 for the month and she says it is because she now only flushes her toilet for #2 and does not flush it for #1 - um, for one, GROSS. But I have my "teacher's hat" on and I'm being nice to her, we go to her water bill web site and it has her 23 most recent water bills. They all show her at 748 gallons per month except ONE -- December is at 1496 (note, that's 748 times 2). I explain to her that the water bill company does not charge you "per cup", they charge in 748 *gallon* increments. I walk her over to her bathroom and printed right on the toilet is "1.6 gallons per flush". That's FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY SEVEN AND A HALF "flushes" to hit 748 gallons. Or SIXTEEN per day for a 30-day month. Granted, where in that 748-gallon "teir" is her typical month is not shown on her water bill. Told her she should flush her toilet every time, be it #1 or #2, and to count how many times she runs the washing machine per month. Explained that a typical washing machine uses 40 gallons per load. That's only 18.7 loads per month, or roughly 4.7 loads per week. It is the WASHING MACHINE that bumped her up into the second "tier", not her toilet. -
