C++ source code file extension is .cc and .cpp, not ".bin", "binary", etc. FAQ for newbies. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1545080/c-code-file-extension-what-is-the-difference-between-cc-and-cpp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxon Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Someone already tried --max-connections-per-host=4 on weak hardware with Supermium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the flag --max-connections-per-host=15 on my very old and weak hardware, however, with Thorium under Windows XP. So far, it works great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 4 hours ago, 66cats said: Probably the same people who started spreading rumors that Linux is open source. How does that invalidate the open-source components? There are distros out there that do not include binary blobs. Supermium's source code is here, it simply depends on closed-source Win7+ API emulator. Apparently Windows XP is so bad they have to emulate Windows 7+ (APIs) to make it run on XP. And even then it's far cry from the old XP compatible Chrome versions, which were higher quality releases with none of the bugs or deficiencies you see these days.

More likely to reduce the amount of work they would've to do each time the new version is released. I mean, no need to constantly cut out the unneeded code parts from chromium itself. Basically, the file consists of wisely stubbed/redirected APIs. (a compliment to win32) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixel Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 4 hours ago, UCyborg said: it simply depends on closed-source Win7+ API emulator. Nevertheless, it's still close source. I can tell what to try for those willing to disassemble it, but I shan't give precise instructions, I respect win32's choice to make it close source. A small hint. JetBrain's free .NET Decompiler and Assembly Browser, and off you go, it might help those willing to dig. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which part of the quoted text do you disagree with? Be concise. I concede that, like Linux, Supermium contains closed source code. If you feel this makes those projects proprietary, i got nothing.

66cats Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 6 hours ago, UCyborg said: How does that invalidate the open-source components? The same logic that makes Supermium closed source (if any part of the project is not open source, it's not open source) should make Linux closed source (its kernel includes [proprietary] binary blobs). 6 hours ago, UCyborg said: There are distros out there that do not include binary blobs. I guess those are the only open source Linux distros OTOH, most distros (including all the popular ones, the ones where WiFi & most HW works, ones using the standard, unmodded linux kernel) are proprietary. At least by that logic :\ 6 hours ago, UCyborg said: Apparently Windows XP is so bad they have to emulate Windows 7+ (APIs) to make it run on XP. Something tells me reliance on leaked/reversed MS code is the reason no source has been published for that .dll. Again, could be dead wrong.

Bottom line - the conspiracy theory that somebody shut down somebody else's project is just that, a conspiracy theory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCyborg Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) @66cats IDK, call it a hybrid then. Yeah, I tried Debian ISO once on my laptop, the one ISO as it was meant to be, so no proprietary blobs. Got warning right away that firmware should be downloaded for Wi-Fi adapter, so didn't get anywhere. I'm mostly in "whatever, as long as it works" camp today. Source code availability is nice, but eh... Used to be more of a tinkerer, but these days, screw it. It's all such nonsense in the grand scheme of things, systemd vs non-systemd, PulseAudio or no PulseAudio, Blink vs Gecko, XUL vs WebExt etc etc. It's all f***in' politics and I hate politics, I just want a working computer. Is that too much to ask?? Well, I guess got it more or less so not much to complain about from my side. Regarding this forum post editor, it's been months since it last glitched out on me, but when it did, and that must have been couple forum software updates ago, you would click Submit Reply and it seemed it didn't do anything, even though it actually did so if you clicked the button again and refresh the page, you realized you just double posted.

The "Unread Content" and "Mark site read" 'buttons' seem to glitch on occasion also. Just a very lengthy time delay that most of us don't "wait for" because it usually doesn't take that long.

Same here. 27 minutes ago, UCyborg said: click Submit Reply and it seemed it didn't do anything, Might have something to do with @AstroSkipper's single-core rig, happens to me all the time posting from a Coppermine PIII (on any forum). BTW, IDA-RE's dll does seem to speed up Thorium/Supermium (launching for the first time, and at least as far as Speedometer 2 is concerned). Curious factoids: it's now called "chrome-xp-api-adapter.dll" instead of "progwrp.dll" (i renamed it), and it's 24KB vs. 131KB of the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the very best is that now both posts have disappeared completely. Who has deleted them? I simply replied to a post addressed to me. And above all, why both? What's going on here?
