Applications / Re: TOR and Dooble
« on: June 06, 2023, 02:05:42 am »
 Hi Martin,

Yes, the whole reason to use Tor is to conceal your IP. Your configuration is correct. Some websites will detect that you conceal your IP, and then not allow access. This lets you know what their business is - in the case of Google, their business is creating dossiers on their users. Can't do that if the IP is concealed. So use another search engine - maybe DuckDuckGo.com, or lite.qwant.com.

Hi Tellie,

  I also use Vidalia with Tor - makes it easy to start and set up Tor and see your connections.

 In Dooble, go to 'Settings' -> 'Privacy' and towards the bottom of the page there is a 'Proxy' section. Switch to 'Socks5' and type in 'Host' = localhost and 'Port' = 9050 (assuming you kept the default Tor settings). Click 'Apply' at the bottom right of the page and if Tor is already connected, you should be able to browse anonymously - if you also have Vidalia running, you should see the network path on the Network Map.

  Just today I started getting a warning message the latest Tor is out of date, but it still works...

Paul,

  I had stopped using Tor because it wouldn't work with the last version of SeaMonkey due to faulty Socks5 support, but it works fine with Dooble...

Mail-News / Re: PMMail with Comcast doesn't work?
« on: June 03, 2023, 08:53:00 pm »
<sigh>

  OK, I figured it out. I had updated the 'local domain name' on this computer to 'davemckenna.com' (instead of just 'davemckenna') because that is what it is. 'davemckenna.com' points to my router via internet DNS. Apparently, for some reason PMMail goes to DNS to get that instead of using 'localhost'. As soon as I set 'local domain name' (in TCPIP settings) back to 'davemckenna', it all worked again...

Events / Re: ArcaOS 5.0.8 is out!
« on: June 03, 2023, 06:37:00 pm »
Rick,

  You can update... one of the early pages in the install has an option for update if it detects an install of ArcaOS (but not eCS or Warp). In my case, I had to put the AHCI driver ahead of the NVME driver in the pre-install menu to get it to detect my ArcaOS install. Not sure why they put the NVME in front of AHCI, but they did...

Mail-News / PMMail with Comcast doesn't work?
« on: June 03, 2023, 06:32:26 pm »
Hi All,

  About a week ago, PMMail stopped being able to get email from my Comcast account, even though nothing was changed with either PMMail or stunnel, which has worked for many years. The PMMail error log shows:

Sat, 03 Jun 2023 12:22:36 pm ==> Connection Failure:  Couldn't connect (err:61 - Connection refused). n tries [2]

 but the stunnel log does not show any errors, so I am baffled. Anyone else using PMMail with a Comcast account?

 I notice that gmail recently changed their sign on protocol, so I wonder if Comcast did something similar (without notification). I went to the Comcast website and looked at their instructions for setting up email clients, but everything I have setup in PMMail is correct. I can also log in to Comcast with Dooble and access my emails with the same credentials used by PMMail.

 Can anyone give me a clue?

Regards,

  Edit - checked the PMMail log file and it shows this started on May29 and has this error:
2023-05-29T08:50:41.398 (010)-E-ConnectPOP: connect(68.81.43.74:7110) error[61]: [Connection refused]

 68.81.43.74 is my routers' IP address, and 7110 is the local port for stunnel. The comcast port should be 995 and IP should be 127.0.0.1, but stunnel.conf is correct. Somehow this doesn't look right... the implication is PMMail is not connecting to stunnel?

Paul,

  Thanks for uploading Steven's analysis - no doubt he has a special talent for this stuff...

  BTW, I just tried using your last 'Tor' with Dooble and it works great with the 'Socks5' proxy setting (using it now).

Horndfrog,

 Open ANPM, after it downloads the latest directories, got to 'Manage' -> 'Yum Tools' -> 'Install Package from File', then navigate to and select the extracted file. Should then install.

HTH,

Events / ArcaOS 5.0.8 is out!
« on: June 03, 2023, 12:11:27 am »
 Just installed - worked great once I figured out to have ACPI load before NVME in the installer (can't boot NVME on this machine in CSM mode). It has a new Kernel too, although I can't find any info about what is new in it...

Paul,

  Thanks for the explanation - I now see what you mean about the exception handling being the bulk of the messages and they will be the same. Be interesting to hear what Steven has to say...

 Hey Paul,

  I'm no expert on traps, but the one you post sure looks a lot like the larger of the 2 I posted (0054_15.trp) when I put them side by side...

Paul,

 This time I got 2 *.TRP files at a silent exit - this happened as soon as I typed in 'https://www.youtube.com' and it started to render. This is also with the gcc12 version of dav1d6.dll - this version in general seems to be a little bit more stable though ( I don't always get an exit with YouTube with this one, but I did this time).

 If AVX is not the cause of system hangs, the only other thing that makes sense is Javascript. It is true that I get system hangs every once in a while when the system is sitting doing nothing, but the browser is open on some web page (like youtube), but mostly get hangs on busy websites with lots of video.It also happens very occasionally with the QT5 version of Dooble on those same sites.

Hey Paul,

  Thanks for the new Dooble and libdav1d! I tried the RPM version with the new Dooble, and everything works about the same as before - still get the system hangs and occasional silent exit, but all tests seem to work as before. I'll try the gcc12 version next...

 Hey Dave,

  What I'm thinking is that if the CPU reports it supports a thing (like AVX), but the OS kernel does not, then a hang is in store.

  I wonder if there is any way to either support AVX (through ACPI maybe?) or prevent detection of the CPU supporting it?

Regards,
