General Discussion / Strange hobbes.nmsu.edu behavior.

« on: February 03, 2020, 11:20:59 am »

Very strange situation with hobbes.nmsu.edu. No access from Russia and Ukraine. From other countries there is access. Letters are ignored and not even accepted by the server. Does anyone have any info on this?

We would like to ask you to test a new product. This is an alternative to the standard Hardware Manager. See the readme.txt file in the archive for new features and benefits over the standard manager. Please post your screenshots in this forum thread so that we can see what can be improved.

New versions can be downloaded here: http://os2.snc.ru/product-HwExplorer.html

Special thanks to: David Graser for icons, Lars Erdmann for source of HwMan and helpful tips, Os4User for testing and sharing ideas.

Web applications / Oddities with Youtube.

« on: November 02, 2017, 02:15:23 pm »

I have a strange problem with youtube on the one of my systems. This is the same for FF 38.8.0 and FF 45.9.0.
On youtube I can see load bar (line) at the bottom of video frame (with loading progress), small frames on load bar whem I try move forward. But on the video frame, the "waiting ring" turns constantly and there is no image.

On page https://www.youtube.com/html5 next items available with FF 3.8.0:
  HTMLVideoElement, H.264 and WebM VP8.
with FF 45.9.0 all items available.
It's just like on my other system, where everything works fine.

All necessary components from the repository, including ffmpeg, have been updated. What could be the problem?

Hi.

I have stable memory leak on each thread start. Can anyone confirm this problem? A small test program attached. I see an ever-increasing number of pages "stack" with Theseus:

G:\projects\test>start test.exe

C:\Programs\Theseus>getobj.cmd TEST private 1 0|find /C "stack"
15

C:\Programs\Theseus>getobj.cmd TEST private 1 0|find /C "stack"
17

C:\Programs\Theseus>getobj.cmd TEST private 1 0|find /C "stack"
19

C:\Programs\Theseus>getobj.cmd TEST private 1 0|find /C "stack"
20

C:\Programs\Theseus>getobj.cmd TEST private 1 0|find /C "stack"
23

and so on...

Applications / Help! Need to fix yum.

« on: July 12, 2016, 01:26:44 am »

Please help me understand. What does that mean and how to fix it?

C:\>yum
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

   dlopen rc=2 extra=NSPR4K

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.7.6 (default, Dec 12 2015, 04:56:50)
[GCC 4.9.2]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
  http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq

---
By advice from http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq :

C:\>python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Dec 12 2015, 04:56:50)
[GCC 4.9.2] on os2knix
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Internet / Spam Filter

« on: January 12, 2016, 10:13:59 am »

Hi all.

I made a spam filter to use on my mail server. It uses a variety of typical methods: on-line whitelists (RWL), on-line blacklists (URIBL, DNSBL), SPF, greylisting, analysis of the EHLO, MAIL FROM, etc. The filter works on my server with Weasel 2.01 the last few weeks and gives good results for me.
If someone is interested - I need some help. At first, of course, testing. I have no way to test how it works when all incoming mail sent from the ISP relay server. In theory, this situation should some loosen filter, because there is no possibility to check the external server's EHLO.
My english is not very good, so the second problem is the correction short texts - two readme files and comments at the configuration file. It is necessary to make them correct and clear.

Binaries and sources can be downloaded from my FTP server:
