‘Dyson spheres’ were theorized as a way to detect alien life. Scientists say they’ve found potential evidence [url=https://kraken14-at.at]кракен 19[/url] What would be the ultimate solution to the energy problems of an advanced civilization? Renowned British American physicist Freeman Dyson theorized it would be a shell made up of mirrors or solar panels that completely surrounds a star — harnessing all the energy it produces. “One should expect that, within a few thousand years of its entering the stage of industrial development, any intelligent species should be found occupying an artificial biosphere which completely surrounds its parent star,” wrote Dyson in a 1960 paper in which he first explained the concept. https://krakent14.at кракен 17 If it sounds like science fiction, that’s because it is: Dyson took the idea from Olaf Stapledon’s 1937 novel “Star Maker,” and he was always open about that. The late scientist was a professor emeritus at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Still, coming from a thinker who some in the scientific community say might have been worthy of a Nobel Prize early in his career, the concept took hold and the hypothetical megastructures became known as Dyson spheres, even though the physicist later clarified that they would actually consist of “a loose collection or swarm of objects traveling on independent orbits around the star.” In his paper, Dyson also noted that Dyson spheres would give off waste heat detectable as infrared radiation, and suggested that looking for that byproduct would be a viable method for searching for extraterrestrial life. However, he added that infrared radiation by itself would not necessarily mean extraterrestrial intelligence, and that one of the strongest reasons for searching for such sources was that new types of natural astronomical objects might be discovered. “Scientists (at the time) were largely receptive, not to the likelihood that alien civilisations would be found to exist, but that a search for waste heat would be a good place to look,” said George Dyson, a technology writer and author and the second of Dyson’s six children, via email. “Science fiction, from ‘Footfall’ to ‘Star Trek,’ took the idea and ran with it, while social critics adopted the Dyson sphere as a vehicle for questioning the wisdom of unlimited technological growth.”

I messed it up a bit. The link for the version number shows two versions. One is the full version number and the other is the shortened number which is needed for the download link. My bad!

Works great thanks a lot Do you know the links for pro version? i only found for web_installer Download Acrobat installer for Enterprise term or VIP license (adobe.com)

And these are the full Reader EXE installer URLs (for English): x64 https://ardownload3.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/{dirtyversion}/AcroRdrDCx64{dirtyversion}_en_US.exe x86 https://ardownload3.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/{dirtyversion}/AcroRdrDC{dirtyversion}_en_US.exe

With those URLs and the JSON response I would recommend just pulling the version number directly with (as {version}): "version":"([\d\.]+)" This avoids manually fiddling with numbers that might have issues. Today they describe 2024 as the major version and use 24 internally, but who knows what they'll do tomorrow.

Big thanks It works, but i need to make change on {version} because will get 20 in being of URL. With i (?<=Reader\s)([0-9.]{2,})(?=\sEnghish) get ardownload3.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/202400220857/AcrobatDCx64Upd202400220857.msp The correct link is ardownload3.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/2400220857/AcrobatDCx64Upd2400220857.msp

Hi, I had the same problem but I had not invested much time in finding a solution. That's why I used an earlier option that still works today. The update versions for Acrobat and Reader are identical as far as I know. So this should also work here: For Adobe Reader Continuous/DC (en-US 32-bit) https://rdc.adobe.io/reader/products?lang=en&platformArch=86&site=landing&os=Windows%2010&preInstalled=mss%2Cmsc&country=US&nativeOs=Windows%2010&api_key=dc-get-adobereader-cdn For Adobe Reader Continuous/DC (en-US 64-bit) https://rdc.adobe.io/reader/products?lang=en&platformArch=64&site=landing&os=Windows%2010&preInstalled=mss%2Cmsc&country=US&nativeOs=Windows%2010&api_key=dc-get-adobereader-cdn From die above URL I get {version} using the following regular expression: (?<=Reader\s)([0-9.]{2,})(?=\sEnglish) This is these are the download links: Acrobat 32-bit https://ardownload3.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/{dirtyversion}/AcrobatDCUpd{dirtyversion}.msp Acrobat 64-bit https://ardownload3.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/{dirtyversion}/AcrobatDCx64Upd{dirtyversion}.msp Reader 32-bit & Reader 32-bit MUI https://ardownload3.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/{dirtyversion}/AcroRdrDCUpd{dirtyversion}.msp https://ardownload3.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/{dirtyversion}/AcroRdrDCUpd{dirtyversion}_MUI.msp Reader 64-bit & Reader 64-bit MUI https://ardownload3.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/{dirtyversion}/AcroRdrDCx64Upd{dirtyversion}.msp https://ardownload3.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/{dirtyversion}/AcroRdrDCx64Upd{dirtyversion}_MUI.msp Where {dirtyversion} results from the version number but without the separators: {version:replace:.:}

Currently (Ketarin 1.8.11.0) there are four separate Event Commands available: 1) Before updating an application 2) After updating an application 3) After updating all applications 4) When application update fails These are great for pre-download validation and post-update & post-check failure documentation, but they don't address every scenario. I would like one more Event Command available: Before checking for updates for an application. When I have parallel downloads set to 1 then it's a safe bet that the next one in the list is responsible. When I have parallel set to 2 or 3 (or more) then it's a whole lot of guessing. This new event would trigger before any variables were parsed (other than the name) so that I can log the progress of "update all" or "check for updates" on a selection. This would allow me to write the pre-parse progress to a permanent log file so I can better troubleshoot errors. Currently, when Ketarin crashes (which isn't often, but is often enough that it's frustrating) I have to guess which application is responsible and which variable or URL it was within the application that might be causing the problem. I can work around some of this with special variables and the ":ps" function, but more difficult than it could be to figure out which one is responsible. Alternatively (or in addition to) there would be an option to write to a log file that mirrors the activity in the real-time log (CTRL+L). This could either be one massive file (ketarin.log), or based on the date, or based on variables (like "ketarin-{yyyy}{MM}{dd}{hh}{mm}.log" or "ketarin-{category}.log" or even based on the "save as" destination with an additional ".log" appended: "..\{category}\{appname:regexreplace:([\s\t\r\n\-\&]+):_}-{version}.{url:ext}.log" where as-yet-unparsed variables would be replaced with dashes or underscores). Each application should have the log file name preserved for the duration of the specific application, so if the log file name were "ketarin-{yyyy}{MM}{dd}T{hh}{mm}.log" at 20240414T1345 and it took 4 minutes to process the application, all log records relating to that application update would be written to that log even though the time were actually 20240414T1349 by the time it was done.

Interesting issue with the SetDefaultBrowser and SetUserFTA programs: Microsoft broke them with a recent registry service "fix" to control the browser behavior and enforce "user choice". Evil bastards.

thanks for the pointers! Aria works! https://imgur.com/a/FmsH6yC I have the version number set, along with previous (See also link above). At this point, have no idea why the other one isn't working.. but I have a working example, so thank you for that! EDIT: I noticed that aria works even without kuppet so I don't think it means that kuppet works.. In any case, even with kuppet, I still get the 405 error with Cheat Engine. At this point, I guess it would be best to stop bothering you guys, thank you for the support so far Cheat Engine.xml

if you don't have a lot of requests or apps then changing the UA globally is unlikely to help. if you do, then you might want to change it and keep it relatively current. the format for the version string in Chrome UA is "Chrome/major.0.0.0" - it never includes the minor or build numbers. This is similar to all other modern browsers - they don't include anything but the major version dot zero, and sometimes an additional couple dot-zeroes. Change it to: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/124.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 That alone might help. If you haven't set the Version number column to display in the main interface you might want to do that first. This ensures that you can see when new versions are detected and might help you troubleshoot this one. Since this site is one of the ones that is really aggressive about spiders you might want to test with a different one. I've attached another one (aria2) that uses Kuppet. aria2.xml

Yes, my global UA is the default one: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; Ketarin; +https://ketarin.org/) is it a good practice to change it to something else? In any case, I copied the same UA, that I put in the kuppet.config file, in the app profile, which is the exact version stated in the browser About page: I tried to check the versionstub variable, but the problem seems to be that it cannot load the page? although I see it in the Chromium browser (it loads correctly after the 3 second Anti-Crawler IP checker page): https://imgur.com/a/Kz9g0Bv

Is it detecting the version number correctly? Or is it just the download that's failing? You might also need to change the global user-agent (File, Settings, Connection, Default user agent) or at least assign one within the app profile at Advanced Settings, User-agent. By default the user-agent indicates it's Ketarin and might be getting blocked.

hmm, I removed the old UAs and manually updated chromium and the string to match the latest v124. With Browser visible, this is what I see: but it still times out.. thank you all for the support kuppet.config

I recommend removing the older user-agents from the userAgentArray variable. Firefox/65 and Chrome/100 are both *very* old and many security features on websites now block them by default. The next troubleshooting step is to change the chromeVisible value in your config to true. This will allow you to watch as Kuppet operates, which might be enough to see what is failing.

Real Temp now works, thank you very much! regarding Kuppet, by looking at your output, I checked the config file included in the 0.8.7 release available on the forum and realized it needed setting up, so I modified that to make it look something similar to yours (see attached) and now I get a similar output: although Ketarin still times out before Kuppet can finish its job. What could be still missing here? thank you once again for your support! kuppet.config

One more thing about Kuppet. It has a heavy-duty cache so it doesn't re-request pages unnecessarily, even if you think it should. If you ran it, cancelled, then ran it again you might have issues. Kill Kuppet and try again to make sure it purges it's own cache.

Here's a working Real Temp that uses a PowerShell script to read the Location header from the POST response. Real Temp.xml SetDefaultBrowser works fine for me. Make sure you're not interfering with it! Kuppet has a built-in timeout that's higher than Ketarin alone, but this specific app uses an imposed 45 second delay *after the last activity*! This is important for anything that needs to bypass CloudFlare or Cloudfront CAPTCHA delays. This is the output I get in Kuppet with logging enabled: ---: Ketarin is playing with her puppet > Port:8080 Time: 3/13/2024 7:28:22 PM ===: KUPPET PARAMETERS ===: port : 8080 ===: kuppetTimeout : 360 ===: pageLoadTimeout : 90 ===: userAgent : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/122.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ===: verboseLogging : true ===: logging : true ===: chromeVisible : false ===: ----------------- ---: R01 | REQUEST : https://kolbi.cz/blog/2017/11/10/setdefaultbrowser-set-the-default-browser-per-user-on-windows-10-and-server-2016-build-1607/ ===: R01 | Post Data String: redirection-delay=45 ===: Chrome instance starting ===: The BROWSER user agent is : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) HeadlessChrome/100.0.4889.0 Safari/537.36 ===: Opening new page ===: Set page-load timeout : 90 seconds ===: Setting PAGE user agent : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/122.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ===: Set extra headers ===: Visiting : https://kolbi.cz/blog/2017/11/10/setdefaultbrowser-set-the-default-browser-per-user-on-windows-10-and-server-2016-build-1607/ ===: Rendering the javascript ===: Redirection-Delay for: 45 seconds ===: Rendering the Shadow DOM ===: Returning the rendered HTML - everything between <HTML>...</HTML> ===: 'Beautify' the HTML ===: Closing browser ---: R01 | RESPONSE : Cached:false : Duration:50.22 seconds ---: R02 | REQUEST : https://kolbi.cz/blog/2017/11/10/setdefaultbrowser-set-the-default-browser-per-user-on-windows-10-and-server-2016-build-1607/ ===: R02 | Post Data String: redirection-delay=45 ---: R02 | RESPONSE : Cached:true : Duration:0.004 seconds ---: R03 | REQUEST : https://kolbi.cz/blog/2017/11/10/setdefaultbrowser-set-the-default-browser-per-user-on-windows-10-and-server-2016-build-1607/ ===: R03 | Post Data String: redirection-delay=45 ---: R03 | RESPONSE : Cached:true : Duration:0.003 seconds ---: R04 | REQUEST : https://kolbi.cz/blog/2017/11/10/setdefaultbrowser-set-the-default-browser-per-user-on-windows-10-and-server-2016-build-1607/ ===: R04 | Post Data String: redirection-delay=45 ---: R04 | RESPONSE : Cached:true : Duration:0.003 seconds ---: R05 | REQUEST : https://kolbi.cz/blog/2017/11/10/setdefaultbrowser-set-the-default-browser-per-user-on-windows-10-and-server-2016-build-1607/ ===: R05 | Post Data String: redirection-delay=45 ---: R05 | RESPONSE : Cached:true : Duration:0.005 seconds ---: R06 | REQUEST : https://kolbi.cz/blog/2017/11/10/setdefaultbrowser-set-the-default-browser-per-user-on-windows-10-and-server-2016-build-1607/ ===: R06 | Post Data String: redirection-delay=45 ---: R06 | RESPONSE : Cached:true : Duration:0.003 seconds

Thanks a lot, that should help

thanks so much for your support and thank you for the detailed explanation! I think this is getting a little bit out of hand for me If you will have the time to make it work, I can wait no problem otherwise, thanks anyway! Regarding the SetDefaultBrowser.xml, just to make sure the issue is on my side, if you try to update it, your result is different from this, right? I also tried it with firewall disabled, same result

Looks like TechPowerUp is now using manual server selection, so clicking the button alone doesn't actually download the file, it just shows a page with the server selection. Parse that for "server_id" then use POST to download the file. Since Ketarin can't post to the download URL you'll have to shell it out in a powershell variable or use the pre-download command using something that can (Wget or Curl). This is usually pretty simply once you understand the syntax: curl.exe -v -X POST -L -o "file.ext" -d "id=164&server_id=12" -4 "https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-real-temp/" This performs a verbose POST request, following redirects, saves the output to "file.exe", and POSTs the data "id=164&server_id=12" using IPv4 to the URL. This doesn't actually download the file. There's an nginx proxy there that's refusing to actually allow the download. It's either blocking the UA or the referrer tree. It doesn't matter - the verbose response means that it's still showing you the "real" download URL which you could capture and drop into the download URL in Ketarin and that will actually work. If you wrap this in a powershell variable you can capture the download URL. I don't have time today to demonstrate but I will try to come back in the next couple days to show you if you haven't figured it out. I've attached the app profile for SetDefaultBrowser which uses Kuppet (though it looks like it's now EOL and being replaced by a more powerful tool). SetDefaultBrowser.xml

Thanks again! I imported your xml for Real Temp but still get this error: As for cheat engine, I will try to play with Kuppet some more Update: no luck with Kuppet.. if you can share a working example .xml that uses kuppet, from which I can start building one for Cheat Engine, I would be grateful!

Welcome aboard @Mundee. This is demonstrated pretty well in this thread. While Ambimind uses variables for the parts of the calling function, if you already know the name, type and form of the variable, then you could use the abbreviated syntax. For Start/End and RegEx you use: $x = $app.variables.MyVersionVariable.CachedContent For Textual Content use: $x = $app.variables.MyVersionVariable.TextualContent In both samples "MyVersionVariable" is the name of the variable you'll be using instead of {MyVersionVariable}.

Hi, I am fairly new to Ketarin and still trying to figure things out. I would like to run a powershell command after downloading that uses the "global" {appname} and the {version} variable I created for the package. However the content of the variable(s) do not seem to be getting forwarded/piped to powershell. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you
