N.A.N.Y. 2013 / Re: NANY 2013 Release: Customizable Remote Administration Panel (CRAP)

« Last post by ConstanceJill on November 20, 2025, 04:34 AM »

Hello there, it has been a while again.

I'm still using version 2.1.0 build 77 and quite happy with it, however I recently had to remove a Favorite and noticed that I just couldn't find how to do it from the program's interface in this version🤣
So I just used a text editor to make the required changes in favorites.xml, but did I just miss something, or has simply gone missing since the Favorites menu was reworked?

Post New Requests Here / Re: the smallest fastest and easiest virtual machine for web browser only?

« Last post by compn on November 15, 2025, 11:32 PM »

this blog post explains how to make a tinycore 15 vm gui + web browser for 229mb https://enterprisead...mall-vm-for-testing/

this is probably the smallest we're going to see. unless theres some android vm w/ android browser or some specific browser vm somewhere that google wont let me find.

Post New Requests Here / the smallest fastest and easiest virtual machine for web browser only?

« Last post by compn on November 15, 2025, 11:22 PM »

With javascript being able to run linux in a web browser, crypto miners, untested and unscanned browser extensions, zero day attacks, web browsers themselves spying on you ( https://www.npr.org/...ement-search-history ) , scam websites... and the complete lack of the web browsers caring about security at all...

the only solution i can think of to stay safe online, is to keep my web browsers separate from my computer. with the virtual machine ability to stop them from using cpu when i dont want them ker-chunking in the background.

i see there is a virtual browser service - browserling.com/virtual-browser - but thats using a vm on someone elses computer! i doubt i would trust that very much!

there is even 'run a vm in your browser' https://github.com/l...m?tab=readme-ov-file but that vm is 600mb debian image.

theres kasm, but thats more for server/workstation vm streaming. howto video here https://www.youtube..../watch?v=TbtGd3lWc4M . it looks really neat but i dont have a home lab server running at the moment.

there is windows sandbox! wow microsoft realizes how bad windows security really is! oh wait its not available for windows home versions https://learn.micros...ion/windows-sandbox/ . but just like windows i wouldnt trust microsoft sandbox to properly and securely sandbox.

i know there are smaller vm that come with latest firefox or other web browsers ?

i guess the best search will be "tiny debian vm with browser" not "sandboxed browser vm"

General Software Discussion / Re: batch scripting

« Last post by compn on November 15, 2025, 04:31 PM »

yeah i couldnt figure out how to do what i wanted.

heres what my batch file looks like , i had ai help me write it.

[Select]

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

if "%~3"=="" (
    if "%~2"=="" (
 grep -i %~1 *txt
    ) else (
 grep -i %~1 *txt | grep -i %~2
    )
) else (
 grep -i %~1 *txt | grep -i %~2 | grep -i %~3
)

endlocal

it works ok.
i have my file lists in .txt files:
so i can do
s search1
returns all results for search1
s search1 search2
returns all results for search1, then filtered for search 2
s search1 search2 search3
returns all results for search1, then filtered for search 2, then filtered for search3

but i still have to type s all the time
i just want it to be a prompt and i type search1 search2, hit enter, and it spits out results, asking me for the next search...

Android Apps / Re: WhenLast (Android app) - v2.20 Beta - Aug 20, 2018

I still have it in use on my Pixel 9a, it transferred nicely with all other apps from my Pixel 7a a few months ago, after the 7a acquired the known battery expansion issue
Didn't see it in the Play store either, though.

I lost the When Last app when I recently upgraded from my old Pixel 5a to a newer Pixel 9a phone.  Since it is no longer hosted in the Google Play store, it didn't get transferred to the new phone and Google doesn't produce a list of what it didn't transfer.  I erased the old phone, so lost the old data in the app. 

I can start all over again, assuming the app will still run on Android 16 but was wondering if you have given any thought to updating this app?

Or if you know of something similar?

Can you give some news please ?

Hope you're fine , but we can have issue IRL, but nothing prevents dropping few words to people waiting some paid work to be delivered for years

I'm really sad and didn't expect such thing.

Oh Thank you! Such a simple solution. I thought I was going mad and searching help also did not do much good either. Thanks!

Hi. Open FARR options. Then in the left tree view in section "List" choose "Hotkeys". There should be an entry named "Toggle FARR (Alt+Space)" or similar. Make sure its checkbox is checked. If there is no such entry then rightclick and do "add entry" to create one. Hope this helps.
