Say you are trying to install software and receive message from the operating system about untrusted certificate in certificate chain. In such case you need to import certificate of the middle-man organization into the Linux certificate storage to make things happen. If for some reason your third-party certificate comes in DER binary format, you should convert it to CRT format: openssl x509 -inform DER -in certificate.der -out certificate.crt Copy to storage:

Recently run into excellent rant about Windows 7 operating system. Totally agree with all the things mentioned. Here is a heap of my personal screenshots just to back up this speech. FIREFOX SUPERMIUM [CHROME] LIBRE OFFICE BLENDER VEGAS PRO SOUND FORGE CAPTURE ONE VIRTUAL BOX CODIUM [VSCODE] GIT NODE.JS PYTHON JAVA VISUAL C++ Plethora of other software including: [7-zip] | [Discord] | [Telegram] | [XNview] | [Foobar] that runs actual versions just fine, so i do not understand these comments about the obsolescence of this nice operating system.

I am not an adept of the [EBM music] genre. Music that exists at the intersection of punk and industrial music cultures. It is generally accepted that it originated in Belgium. [Mildreda] is a recent and moreover pretty interesting musical discovery on the modern electronic scene. Here are two tracks which i find pretty neat. Imagine all the aesthetics of EBM submerged into trancy [Aes Dana] vibes, backed by [Prodigy] breakbeat and wrapped into [Underworld] synth riffs.

░ PREFACE WORDS In this post I would like to share some Unix experience I have gained while deploying a website under certain conditions. The testbed environment was created using VirtualBox 7 on a Windows 7 operating system. I chose [OpenBSD] because of it’s unparalleled focus on security and privacy features. It is also unusual and very unpopular. And of course because of [OpenBSD slogan] : Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!

The [Acorn computer] is probably one of the most underrated in computer history. All mobile device manufacturers should give a credit to the developers of Acorn’s first RISC computer. They developed the first System-on-Chip CPU. Without the efforts of Acorn engineers you would probably be running an overheated, crashing quad-core CISC CPU from Intel in your mobile device in 2024.

You might think that it is kinda ridiculous title, but read on to find out. First of all you have to understand that i’m not going to share my personal bookmarks with some ugly copro that cloaks itself under the umbrella of free software ideas and use their lame anti-private sync. And i’m certainly not going to use any web service provided by these companies in any case. Of course we won’t skip that generic rant part about how dumb project managers are for not implementing essential features like bookmark export or the ability to open local HTML files in 2024.

If i remember correctly i already promised [not to touch any cameraphones again] . But what convinced me to take another crack at it was the numerous reviews claiming “it’s the best cameraphone in the world” running Android 13. As you may know, Android 14 brought many groundbreaking changes [at least from my point of view]. One of them is the restriction on installing applications targeted at Android 6.0. Loads of cr#p services and telemetry dialers are included also.

Looking at recent Android version distribution and understanding the fact that Android 8.0 is standing on the brink of survival i decided to look for an alternative future solution. As for 8.0, everything is working fine at the moment, I am just doing some research to test the waters out. [LineageOS 20] is a custom firmware based around Android 13 [last version which allows to run legacy applications]. Operating system has been unofficially backported to the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact in 2023.

Take a break from the classic retrowave aesthetic and dive into the world of trancy dub patterns spiced up with eastern sound waves.

Somewhere in the previous posts i have already done [small rant] regarding the desired specification of modern smartphone. After fiddling around with the latest [Oppo Find X6 Pro] aka the best modern cameraphone, i come to a conclusion with myself on how the smartphone specification of my dreams should look like. Consider this as a revisited version of the previous document. And yeah, you will surely see the Oppo review in a while when i free myself up from the daily routine.

For me, the [Atari Falcon] was as cool as the later Amigas. Some people claim that Falcon had less custom chips and less GFX capabilities compared to Amiga. On the other hand, Falcon was a bit faster CPUs in standard configurations, native MIDI support, but more importantly it had special sound DSP capable of 16-bit 48Khz sound output, the thing that was too cool even for Amiga. That is why computer was so popular in music studios at the time.

I don’t fully understand emotional component of this track. Or it’s the triumphant completion of something or it’s the grandiose beginning of something. Choose your own variant. SOVIET ▀ SYMMETRIC CONNECTION spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

Despite the fact that i’m not a MIDI person, i find this video loaded with interesting technical and historical facts about the era. So, take a look if you have spare time! spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

Currently we all know that [Ryzen 7950x] and more importantly [Threadripper 7000] series are working just fine in Windows 7 environment. Upcoming Ryzen 9950x confirmed to work already, because it is using the same socket [mechanically and electronically]. And now for even better news: [AM5 socket will be supported at least until 2027] , which means that Ryzen 10950x will work without any hassles also. So, it looks like the Threadripper 7995wx and Ryzen 10950x will be the last chips to work properly on the Windows 7 platform in the worst case scenario.

First things first. I often need to copy substantial amount of photos from my phone. It can’t be done via Windows GUI without millions of mouse clicks or keystrokes. Here you will find a solution on how to do this in a proper way. The key tool for this will be [ADB] , developer tools for Android. Wishes: command line, batch, no file explorer, no mouse, no clickety-clack. Sicking tired of all of these not-so-precise-instructions i’ve decided to make my own.

If you were a fan of the original Fallout series, you already know Mark Morgan, one of the most unique composers of the 90s. His soundtrack for Fallout 1/2 has already status of a classic masterpiece in the game OST genre. Today I would like to introduce you to [Andrew Lahiff] . He makes exceptionally good space ambient tracks that sometimes resemble the atmosphere of Fallout. Just listen to these tracks:

UPDATED ON: 2024-10-10 Fixed expired Discord link Today, i decided to open a chat room for Windows 7 users in Discord. Maybe such decision will compensate the absence of commentary system on the website, who knows. Hope that it will be handy to some extend, at least for someone. I don’t know.

I am glad that in this historical video there is no mention of such things as windows 10/11, as they surely did not bring anything new to the world of ergonomics, but rather on the contrary worsened it by a substantinal margin. spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

Himmelskibet [member of WinRaid community] has just discovered that modern 48-thread workstation CPU Threadripper 7960X can work in Windows 7 environment. He was able to execute Windows Server 2008R2, with working USB3 ports. Testbed motherboard: Gigabyte TRX50 Aero D rev 1.1. “Good” BIOS version: FA BIOS [dated Nov 23, 2023] Nvme testing is in progress. I’m pretty sure that everything will work fine. Here is a proof image: [Original topic @ WinRaid] If it works out with NVME and it will not give BSODs and substantial issues we could count that Windows 7 is capable of driving 192 threads then.

UPDATED ON: 2024-08-10 Considering Ghacks [recent news] it is not clear what Mozilla are trying to depict. Firefox 115 ESR will be supported until October 1, 2024. Let me remind you that in their previous statement regarding v115.15 EOL was September 3, 2024. Are they going to extend support for just a month or should we expect something more solid? Stumbled across this hype blip-news [here] . To tell the truth, i don’t really care of what they are thinking and what will happen, because current 115 ESR version will be supported until september 2024.

The time has come for another technology bombshell. You waited for it, didn’t you? Looking at the atrocious [interfaces of modern applications] I don’t know when the idea of proper convenience has become obsolete. Maybe around 2013 or so. The time period is debatable, but the main thing here is that we are distancing ourselves not only from real engineering, but more scarily from common sense. The topic affects not only software stuff but hardware products as well.

Just made fun out of it. I’ve talked to a different versions of chatGPT to see how they will perform. ► GPT 3.5 Me: Say something life affirming Remember that every day is an opportunity for growth, kindness, and learning.

Ok, we are almost in the middle of the summer. Some words about computer music history to celebrate this. Onestop.mid is a midi file found within the Windows Media folder on most Windows starting from Windows XP back in the 90s. It was composed by David Yackley. Despite Wikipedia assurance that the main purpose of it was an easter egg thing, music was mostly used as a troubleshooting demo song for Microsoft technicians, which was available on almost all Windows installations.

As you may know modern WEB is more and more dependent on JavaScript technology, that is why JS performance is essential for modern browsers. I have decided to throw the most important and interesting browsers into the pit, to find out in fare fight, who is stronger in above mentioned domain. Things go fast these days, especially in the technology field. Not so long ago, the [Octane] speed test, considered as a standard in this field, counts as outdated.
