And if you sorely miss Flash, you can run it with Ruffle:

I will have to keep that in mind. A lot of old management interfaces for rack-mount servers run flash for their web interface :S

That sounds interesting, can you please elaborate on the whys and hows?

I have a Cisco R200 server. It has a built in management interface called CIMC. (There is a proper name for that management type software but I can't remember.

From these panels, you can pretty much do anything you want to the physical server - Open a console session, change boot order, bios, etc.

I tried it on archive.org and it’s not that good.

On Chrome the animation starts lagging behind after a few loops so audio and video desync badly. On Firefox it’s much worse, since Firefox is naturally slower than Chrome so even the first loop is desynced already.

IIRC (it's been many years) after many loops that animation started desyncing in the real Flash player too. It wasn't terribly noticeable after only a few loops, but the fact that it happened made me think that the audio loop was completely async from the animation.

I just tried the above animation on W10 + uBo + Firefox 83. I went through 3 loops and it seemed to stay in sync. Then I hopped over to check this comment and came back to that tab, and it was out of sync at that time. So I think Tab Switching might be a challenge for Ruffle.

Clearly Ruffle is not perfect, but leagues, furlongs ahead of having to watch old flash content on YouTube via Unregistered Hypercam 2.

Didn't not experience this on Chromium/MacOS Big Sur/MBP.

In fact it ran perfectly.
