Re: Torrent problem There are several possibilities:(1) There are no peers seeding the pfull contents or partial pieces.Obviously if there are no peers, you will never connect to anyone, and the download never starts.Check that the problem can be reproduced from another computer and internet connection.(2) Sometimes there is a problem with peer exchange or bootstrapping onto the DHT network.I have experienced it myself with Utorrent.The best solution is clearing Utorrents DHT cache.Delete dht.dat, dht_feed.dat,dht_feed.dat.old and restart Utorrent.(3) All your ports are closed for inbound trafick, ie. firewall, antivirus, router or corporate network policy.Open the ports and restart Utorrent.I dont recommend put.io.its more expensive and less functional than a real seedbox with SSH shell and web interface.But if you arent into command shell and tweaking, put.io may be the right choice for you.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=170494#p170494 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

One solution if one intends to stay with Windows XP is virtualization, but another is using a write filter to protect the operating system.Whats a write filter?A write filter is similar to a RAM disk in that it redirects write operations to nonpersistent memory. Microsoft sells a version of Windows called Windows Embedded mostly used on embedded devices.Interestingly this version of Windows Embedded is based on Windows XP and remains supported until 2019.Included in Windows Embedded (downloadable as a free evaluation) is Enhanced Write Filter (EWF).When turned on EWF protect one or more volumes by redirecting the write operations to RAM.Even though its not officially supported, its possible to use EWF on a standard installation of Windows XP.Instructions---1) You need 3 files from XPe: ewf.sys, ewfmgr.exe, and ewfntldr. These can be retrieved from the XPe trial available on MSDN. Once you install it justgo to the Repositories directory and just look for the most recent versions in the subdirs with all the components.2) Place ewf.sys in your system32\drivers directory and ewfmgr.exe in system32. Go to your root dir and rename ntldr to ntldr_bak and copy ewfntldr andrename it ntldr.3) Open up regedit and go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root. Right-Click and choose Permissions. Set Everyone to full-control.4) Open up notepad and copy-and-paste the following lines:---copy after this line---Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\R oot\LEGACY_EWF]NextInstance=dword:0001[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\R oot\LEGACY_EWF\]Service=EWFLegacy=dword:0001ConfigFlags=dword:0020Class=LegacyDriverClassGUID={8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-F8753ED1}DeviceDesc=EWFCapabilities=dword:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\R oot\LEGACY_EWF\\Control]ActiveService=EWF--end copy---save the file as ewf1.reg. Double-click and answer yes to both dialogboxes.5) Go back to regedit and reset the Permissions; Everyone read only.6) Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...sp1_cf_ewf.asp and set the registry entries they detail in that article. Search for First, verify that the following entries are present on your device. Just add thoseentries theyve got listed there. Notice the ArcName value under ewf\Parameters\Protected\Volume0. Be sure to edit it so it matches whichever partitionyou want to protect.7) Reboot!! It should boot up normally. Once you reboot go to a command line and run ewfmgr c:. It should list your settings for that drive (ewfmgr d:,ewfmgr e:, etc., etc.) You can test whether its working by creating some files (or deleting them) and then rebooting. The volume will not have changed.Now, lets say you want to make some permanent changes on that volume. Run ewfmgr c: -commitanddisable -live. This will commit any changes and disableewf right then and there, but you have to remember to run ewfmgr c: -enable before you reboot to reenable ewf. Thats the prob, you cant enable ewfon the fly, only disable works that way. You can also run ewfmgr c: -disable which will disable on reboot without committing. Take a look at the docsfor a better idea. Theres also an API detailed in the XPe docs for those interested in programmatically configuring EWF (could be useful for touchscreeninterface so that a user can disable EWF to run Windows Update or whatever).Thats all Ive got for now. Based on what I saw on VirtualPC, writes are indeed being filtered out (the little red light didnt flash at all using VPC,only green for reading). A few things to keep in mind: the more writes you make to your protected volume the more RAM EWF will consume. Thats how thisthing works! There actually is a setting to send writes to another partition, but Ive only worked on RAM types for now. You may want to disable as muchas possible: a pagefile doesnt make sense since if you need to use it then youll run out of memory anyways (remember that all writes go to RAM with EWF).VirusScanners arent really necessary for a carPC, especially since any virus will get flushed when you reboot. Im trying to think of what else Automaticupdates arent a good idea since itll just use up RAM by EWF and wont last after a reboot.I guess thats it for now. If your system gets hosed just try booting up with Last known good configuration. Youll probably need to redo the reg settings.---Credits:Using EWF on regular WinXP, www.mp3car.comDownload the EWF files from:http://www.saunalahti.fi/pesonpa/projec … bedded.php Read the instructions above and try it out.Warning! Performing the steps described involves modification of the registry and system files, so do it at your own risk.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=170169#p170169

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Goodbye Windows XP, i still get nistalgic over you.
Re: Goodbye Windows XP, i still get nistalgic over you. Well, I have done some experimentation with the time limited Windows XP virtual machines downloadable from modern.ie.And if it is of interest to anyone, here is what I have found so far.The virtual machines are available for different virtualization software including Virtualbox, VMWare and Virtual PC.The interesting part here is that the disk images are of VMDK type but in stream optimized format meaning that you cant mount or edit them directly.But what you can do is converting them with VMWares Virtual Disk Manager.vmware-vdiskmanager -r input.vmdk -t 0 output.vmdkNow wait one moment for the conversion process to complete.Mount or open the new image output.vmdk and look inside.There is the familiar root folder structure i.e Windows, Program Files, Documents and settings.You may now use Winmount, Winimage or another virtual machine to inject NVDA or another screen reader.The activation clock does n ot count until the virtual machine itself has been powered on for the first time so you might just save the clean image before booting the first time.So now you can use Windows XP forever without activation, cracks or wasting your genuine product key.Hope that this solution helps someone.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=170025#p170025 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Ways to try out Windows - free and legal @SLJNo, all the downloadable virtual Windows machines are fully functional, but they expire and cant be re-activated (at least legally).But the activation counter does not begin to tick until the first booting of the operating system.So you could make a clean backup of the downloaded images and start over from scratch again after the expiration.And if you are smart, you might create an unattended installation package re-installing all non-Windows software again and again.Ask me in private if you are curious.The only catch which is in fact a problem for blind users, is (now I have considered it) that in order to start Windows for the first time, the user must accept the EULA or perhaps choose some regional settings which arent spoken aloud by any screen reader.Of course, there is a solution for the tech savvy, and after poking around in the XPMode virtual harddisk, which I assume is similar in its design, I ha ve found that there is one folder c:\sysprep containing a file called sysprep.inf.In the Unattended section, there are some switches which must be set in the correct way in order for the EULA to be skipped.But this goes into the deeper territory of offline modification of a sysprep image in my case performed by linking the VHD image to an existing virtual Windows.Its not accessible out of the box.And its infuriating that there is no legally available out of the box solution supported by Microsoft.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=169410#p169410 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Goodbye Windows XP, i still get nistalgic over you. I have five machines - one Windows 7, one Windows 8 -- and two Windows XP with Servicepack3 and an upgraded Macbook Pro.I must admit that I dont like the user experience in versions of Win$ more recent than XP, and this OS is advanced enough for sending email, streaming radio and writing documents.I regularly restore the clean partition from my own offline media, so I do not fear any longterm infection.Anyone still running XP after end of support should consider regular restoration of the clean OS through an automated recovery solution.its possible to run ghost32.exe from the talking preinstallation environment, and even though ghost32.exe is not accessible, all the operations are well documented and scriptable from the PE environment.if you have a recovery partition with software provided by your computer manufacturer e.g. Asus, you can likely extract the backup/restore utilities and tweak them for your own ends.Ghost32.exe, g hostexp.exe is not freeware and cant legally be redistributed by anyone, but if you bought an old netbook when these were still around 2007-2009, look inside the recovery partition or on the recovery dvd for ghost32.exe.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=167574#p167574 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] The Complete Manual of Suicide?
Re: The Complete Manual of Suicide? It may be, but stating that he wants to die does not necessarily make him suicidal or legally speaking a danger to himself. (1) He wants the book as reading material to reflect on his situation.(2) He wants the book because he is suffering from a terminal illness and participating in a psychiatric evaluation with the information in mind makes him better placed to understand his options.(3) He wants to die but needs the information on suicide as a warning as to what may go wrong.(4) He wants the book intending to use it as an instruction manual to end his own life.We dont know which of these possibilities are closest to reality. And without more than speculation, I think its wrong as a matter of personal autonomy to deprive him of information merely based on unfounded assumptions.This argument aside, I absolutely believe that ending ones own life in a dignified manner is a human right with which no one lest the nann y state should interfere.Blind people have no dignified practical way of terminating their own lives, and life in normal society is for many of them a living hell.Those who claim otherwise are either unreflective or want to deprive others of a free choice.I dont know the poster, and I dont think it has been substantiated that his motives legally makes him a ward of the state, or certifiable.But the right to seek and impart information is a choice people ought to retain in a free society.Even if I knew the poster is dead tomorrow, I do not think its any of my business.I am not in his shoes, and he may have a perfectly well founded motivation for wanting to talking in the way he does.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156451#p156451 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] problems opening up ports
Re: problems opening up ports Well, you must subscribe to a VPN service which explicitly offers remote port forwarding.I can recommend airvpn.org.Very cheap, does not log and offers servers in many p2p friendly countries.And you can assign up to 20 forwarded ports from the web interface.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156452#p156452 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] The Complete Manual of Suicide?
Re: The Complete Manual of Suicide? Well, there is a book still in print called Final Exit by Derek Humphry.You can buy it quite legally from Amazon.There is also a document originally posted to the newsgroup alt.suicide.methods but I dont know where to find it.Otherwise you may google for top suicide methods.Legal disclaimer:This information is protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and its therefore legal to post it here.However, depending on jurisdiction, its very illegal to provide such information to a person whom one should have reasonable ground to know is suicidal.Since you have not stated any reason giving rise to such concern regarding your intention, I feel free to answer your question.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156370#p156370 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Making a forum using punbb? If you dont mind self-hosting or hosting on a semidedicaded server like a VPS, I suggest you take a look at turnkeylinux.org.Turnkeylinux is a Debian based Linux with a small footprint and ready to use images.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156372#p156372 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] problems opening up ports
Re: problems opening up ports Yes, I suggest you get a good VPN for torrenting.Torrenting without a VPN is in any case risky to ones security.You may get a lawsuit, or if you are lucky only a DMCA complaint.If you live in the US, most ISPs participate in the six strikes program. If you live in Europe, it depends.If you live in Canada, you are probably safe for now.But still, only fools engage in torrenting without IP address obfuscation.And thats even without assuming anything about the legality of what you are doing.Even innocent internet subscribers may get warnings for copyright infringement.The copyright tracking organizations often use unreliable methods.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156374#p156374 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
