  1. My house is tiny so a quiet switch is preferred. (the used enterprise stuff looks tempting, but they are usually power hungry wind turbines) ? Would like PoE+ for cameras and other future stuff. Any suggestions or brands? Thanks,
  2. This might be a shit answer, but I like to enable WSL (linux for windows) and use mlocate in bash to find stuff quickly. To build an index you do "updatedb" than search with "mlocate -i *thing.stuff*" Heres my favorite command to narrow things down (sed used to change the slashes make it look nice). This example finds all things ending with .iso and grep refines it for things with win in the name: mlocate -i *.iso | sed 's~/mnt/~~g' | sed 's~/~\\~g' | sed 's~.~:\\~2' | grep -i "win" The index might take some time, but its so much better than the frustrating slow windows search crap thing.
  3. Install the free OpenVPN or SoftEther on a machine/VM at home or anywhere else that you want to run a VPN on. I use softether all the time for remote access.
  4. IF your talking about dvds / bluerays that you own then MakeMkv is pretty easy. If its not a movie disk then ffmpeg is the bees-knees
  5. Since MDT is free. You could do something janky with it like create a task sequence that has no interactive prompts then run a script on the machines to set the boot order to PXE boot first so they reboot, and start the task. Maybe have a last step in the task to set the PXE boot to last when it finishes. Then you could even hide the task when not needed if you want to make sure people dont get wipped if they manage to PXE boot.
  6. Theres always the free KVM (virt-manager / proxmox) and Xen too ?
  7. Use Double Driver software to back and restore drives quickly. You can inject drives via DISM for what you want, but its harder. than just making a cloned image.
  8. I dont use mysql, and dont know bash scripting but this worked on my ubuntu machine as Gardening pointed out with that how-to link wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-8.0/mysql-8.0.15.tar.gz tar xvzf mysql-8.0.15.tar.gz mkdir mysql-8.0.15/bld cd mysql-8.0.15/bld apt install libssl-dev apt install libncurses5-dev cmake .. -DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=1 -DWITH_BOOST=../cmake
  9. Use your phones shared data with your own laptop
  10. It was super easy with the "resource override" chrome extension (After some quick googling). Not sure if it can be trusted, but it was ez.. (keep in mind that the discord button is dymically rendered via discord magic to show the numbers online; so you replacing it this way wont show the dynamic content without alot of effort) If you want complete control, and dont trust extensions; then you can run just this site though something like your own squid proxy server and 'MIM' it with your own trusted root cert to keep https. Then use a regular expression to find and replace the image string manually. But dymaically loaded content that is generated after the page loads will require some kind of extension... some people have even made thier own extensions to replace HTML elemts via regular expressions... looks like it would take some time to figure out though.
  11. For just one computer? I would rather do periodic backups to a NAS or HDD; although the restore is slower. Other hypervisors include, Xen Server, KVM + virt-manager, and Hyper-v. Ive played with KVM, and it seems nice. Its also one of the few ones that let you pass though many types of hardware to the guest without paying for that functionality.
  12. If you know it has outbound port 123 access, then check the Windows Time service and run w32tm /resync
  13. Quote: "A windows system restore point only captures the application and hardware configuration state of your computer - Personal files and folders are not included. When you go back to the previous restore point, only application and configuration changes will be reverted."
  14. Looks normal. Maybe your account is not a member of the Administrators group (thus only read, and not write)???
  15. Thats because route add is based on the NETWORK ADDRESS and not the usable IP inside the network range. (your network address is invalid based on the mask you provided.. your confusing the poor computer) You told it to use a mask of /24 (255.255.255.0) this would mean that your network address would have to be 209.197.29.0. And /24 on that network would route all IPs from 209.197.29.1-209.197.29.254 So if you want to include only a single IP you can use a mask like 255.255.255.255 for just 209.197.29.1 If you dont understand subnets then use this tool to enter some IP and choose a mask from the dropdown, and it will tell you the NETWORK ADDRESS to use https://www.calculator.net/ip-subnet-calculator.html Single IP route ADD 209.197.29.1 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.42.129 All IPs from 1-254 route ADD 209.197.29.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.42.129 I hope you are sure that your gateway is 192.168.42.129 (most home routers usually end in .1 or .254 but its possible it could be .129) remember to delete these routes if your network changes so stuff dont break. route delete NETWORKADDRESS keep in mind some games could use a ton of IPs that they dont tell you about, so this may not work if you dont know their range.
  16. How about, instead of different programs; think of different destinations. (windows has commands to modify routes) If you can determine which IP ranges your game uses, then you can add a route in windows to route any traffic destined for those IPs to route-out of your 4g gateway (interface). Just set your ethernet interface metric to a lower number then the 4G interface so all trafic goes though ethernet first. Then add your own custom routes that you want to go out of your 4G gateway instead. I tested this just now and it works. Heres an example of commands used. route print route ADD destination_network MASK subnet_mask gateway_ip metric_cost I have a 4G interface (gateway 192.168.1.1), and a Ethernet interface (gateway 192.168.2.1) So I set my Ethernet metric is lower then my 4G so everything else uses Ethernet by default. As an example test, Tested using http://ip-check.info got its ip range via a whois search, which is 78.129.128.0/17 forced that IP range to route out of my 4G gateway instead: route ADD 78.129.128.0 MASK 255.255.128.0 192.168.1.1 After that I refreshed the page, and it showed me the public IP of my 4G. Which means it worked, and routed only traffic for that range out the 4G gateway.
  17. Just make a CNAME DNS record to point to anther domain. thing.yourDomain.TK thing is the CNAME and it can point to DDNS.blaaBLAA.whatever
  18. 1.) A simple & unsecure way to do this would be to just install a VNC server on the PI then port forward that to your public IP (not recommenced) 2.) Teamviewer (easiest) 3.) VNC via SSH. (on remote machine-> ssh -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 -C -N -l urUser REMOTE-IP-OF-PI) then you connect to 127.0.0.1 for VNC 4.) VNC server locally, and PI connected via a VPN (a private vpn you manage preferably.. like openVpn or softether) I like this method the best because once its setup and your machines are on the same VPN network; everything just works easily, and you dont have to mess with setting up SSH stuff. And you control how you connect rather then some 3rd party like teamViewer..
  19. I would plug the drive into another system and check the smart status (health) of the drive. If its samsung; you can use the samsung magician. If other; passmark makes a free tool to see if its toast.
  20. If I had time to kill and lots of pie then I might try and see if its possible to setup some type of hypervisor on a couple, and see if you can do a live migration of guests between them. That would be good stuff to know even if the hardware is sub-par. Maybe some load balanced web servers?
  21. Hey FYI... I (reluctantly) went from 1709 to 1809 and its been good for days. I can watch all my steams now for hours with no probs so far. Before the upgrade my device was set to 16bit 44100... and after the upgrade to 1809 it set itself to 32bit 48000. Everything seems synced up now so im not touching it ? Looks like I will be enjoying my 192 db of range when I listen to my theoretical speakers playing a symphony with crickets farting in the background; followed by high pressure shockwaves, ripping my face off.
  22. Theres always (free) veeam software. Or a live boot linux image with pv or dd: (cloning your whole drive with empty space to another as a file). dd has never failed me for really important backups. ddrescue is handy when the drive is literally on its last leg, and all other methods fail pv < /dev/source > /media/dest/backup.img dd if=/dev/source of=/media/dest/backup.img
