Despite the official claims of Oracle that [VirtualBox 6.1.50]
will be the last one to support Windows 7 cronnie, it suddenly turned out that operating system is capable of running new revamped version.
Here are some screenshots to prove working condition of VirtualBox 7.0 under Windows 7 wing
VirtualBox v7.0 about screen
Believe it or not, i even managed to run mighty Windows XP x64 edition with 22 thread CPU.
A friend of mine introduced me to [Lebrock]
band by sending me a tune he liked. I’ve searched YT and find out that crew is surely has multiple hits in their repertory.
Here is a nice couple.

Recently my personal desktop at home has been subjected to multiple hacking attempts. Attacks were scattered and came from different IP addresses. They were all of a different nature. Most likely it was automatic security hacking bot searching for vulnerable systems or a script kiddie pretending to be a hacker.
At first my computer was attacked using teardrop attack. This was repeated multiple times in a row.
Simply speaking, teardrop is a type of network attack in which an attacker uses fragmented packets to overload network devices and penetrate the security of network.

Ok, i already made some rant-posts in the past [here]
and [here]
. But critical level of shittiness is reached intergalactic boundaries and i must drop another anti-windows 10/11 bomb at ya. So, fasten your seat belts we are going to the most horrible software tech trip ever.
I am not going to waste your valuable time, so straight to the bare facts and they are really bad.
Desperately need a help of Windows 2000 adepts.
I’ve decided to build a [Windows 2000 Datacenter]
machine. Especially after discovering the news about porting of modern fully-fledged [Supermium]
browser into W2K environment.
Here are the results of my investigations. Correct me and add additional preciseness to details.
Important statements [please correct me if i’m wrong]:
Maximum number of CPU threads including hyper-threaded ones can be 32 [so 16 cores + 16 HT threads is an absolute maximum] Maximum amount of RAM is 32Gb [accessible via PAE technology, which introduces some latency and affects performance a bit, browsing the web i’ve seen some non-clear evidence of 64gb RAM configurations].
The Amiga 4000 is a computer that was way ahead of its time, and this was true for many years in a row. The architecture had no competing alternatives for a very long period.
Ability to install an additional processor through a special accelerator board. So in the end you own multi processor platform (in 1995!).
Custom chips for hardware accelerated processing requests for I/O systems, sound, video.
Three levels of RAM: fast memory (conventional ram), chip memory on the motherboard, the possibility to increase the RAM even more by means of Zorro III adapter.
Most of you are probably thinking why there are no posts for such a long time. I was quite overloaded with real life events. Anyways, here’s a bunch of atmospheric retrowave tracks for you.No junk, no fluff, only solid stuff. As always.

Good news to Windows 7 users! Operating system will be updated until at least of winter 2026, despite yellow pressed tabloid propaganda that such thing will not happen. Even microsoft official documents show that [system is “dead”]
right from winter of 2020. But what moron listen and trust to official and moreover public statements?
The main trick here is that Windows 7 is based upon Windows NT 6.0 codebase. This is the same codebase upon Windows 2008 R2 was build.

Forget about last two [or so] seasons, because they are complete boredom!
As for me, i think that [YOUNG SHELDON]
is a worthy prequel to [Big Bang TV-series]
. Great warm analog atmosphere of 80s.Watched it excitedly in one gulp. A bit too pop, with rare deterioration in scenario quality but very solid in terms of actor performance and overall design. If you have bad mood for some reason this thing will fix you up at no time.
I’m not a big fan of [Godfrey Reggio]
as a non-verbal filmmaker, because of dominance of marvelous [Ron Fricke]
in this category. But [Once Within A Time]
surely hit the spot in a right way. Unconventional mind cleaner at it`s best! Surrealistic post-apocalyptic analog tale with subtle digital flavoring introducing reality shaped into inner brain atmospheric vistas. OFFICIAL TRAILER

I hate to ask my readers for support, but i need it now more than ever to accumulate sufficient amount of money to escape paramilitary totalitarian atmosphere. You can support me only in case of:
you really like my activities you have ability and desire to help Only under such conditions, there are no other options.
The best way to [support me]
is to [purchase digital non-AI art]
i’m producing.

Here is a collection of plugins for VS Code, which can improve coding workflow dramatically. Currently i’m using [Codium]
, it is an open-source fork of VS Code, that is why provided links are heading to [non-ms marketplace]
.
BENEFITS:
performance optimized telemetry can be completely turned off no network connections to servers of evil corpo can be executed on Windows 7 machine [v1.87] FAVORITE PLUGINS:

UPDATED ON: 2024-11-13 !!!!Post will be updated in the future, so be on the edge!!!! Here is a comprehensive list of the most trusted ban-overriding solutions to date to circumvent network censorship. All mentioned software are compatible with Windows 7 and Android 8. Linux users will surely find what they are looking for without my help.
Take a note that there are a zillion network configurations out there, so just because something works for me doesn’t mean it will work for everyone else.
Some 80’ goodness right in the end of the endless week.

Short answer will be: NONE OF THEM. But if you are not satisfied with that and interested in topic: read below. In this quick blip-note i’ll explain my subjective opinion regarding big corpos and their influence on technology in general. Let’s start from the barebone roots of the problem. There are two people who brought home computing to masses. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Who are they?
First one cheaply bought DOS operating system from [Gary Kildall]
and resold it to IBM for a waaaay bigger money.
[KING OF THE HILL]
is a hilarious cartoon for adults, which turns rather boring [at first glance] show into complete grotesque action. The most interesting part is that such weird and funny things people are doing in real life.
Straightforward hillbilly [Hank] always protects his son [Booby] from everything interesting and unusual, turning his life into complete boredom. Presumably such disposition comes from the fact that Cotton, the father of Hank, counts him as the most miserable man in the world, don’t value his interests and opinions under any circumstances.
It’s been a while since Aki Kaurismaki delighted us with his ultra-realistic dramas about generic people. Movie is surely a gulp of fresh air, clearly marking it among fake’n’plastic main-stream so-called hollywood videos.
Despite the low amount of words [it is a calling card of director] Fallen Leaves is so emotionally fulfilled. But enough of this, go watch film if you care.

It looks like [Hugo dropped]
Windows 7 support. Version 0.121 was a last one to execute without any problems. All subsequent updates 0.121.1 or later throw following crash upon execution.
To celebrate anniversary i’ve rebuilded site via latest available version.

Upcoming updates and site refactoring will be done manually, without Hugo framework. See you around!

Live performance of the Polish duo. Acoustic piano mixed with synthesizers deliver solid musical texture. Very satisfying, to say the least. Video suggested by Belka205. Enjoy!
