    Dell Poweredge T30 CPU upgrade

    1275 someone did, but noted it could push the mobo VRM's hard and the stock cooling is not great for it https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/g6udhy/dell_t30_upgrade_xeon_e31275_v5_rtx_2060_650w/ Dell will only list and claim ones they actually tested.

    Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC (evaluation) is released!!

    I love the "Even better, use an online account" through every step of adding a local account, on the password confirmation, the security questions screens.. like okay we get it, if I am this far into setting up a local account, I do not want an online account MS! especially for an LTSC device

    Why does MacOS cost less in support in businesses than Windows

    You would still require all said security suites and software and backups and protections for a MAC environment also, so this does not change.

    Why does MacOS cost less in support in businesses than Windows

    Microsoft stoops to new low with ads in Windows 11, as PC Manager tool suggests your system needs ‘repairing’ if you don’t use Bing

    How is linux not dumb down enough? If you gave someone who has never used a computer before. put Chrome on them both and let them use either - it would be an identical experience.

    NetBSD Bans AI-Generated Code

    This, in the end it comes down to actually vetting the code one is using, which we know far too many "Developers" these days do not do, as noted they literally just copy and paste random code some person on github posted and go on about there day.. then weeks later wonder how their company got...

    Ya, this is one place if you can do it, since re-running cables in walls can be a PIA! Moving to a new house, and before I reno the basement, plan to run fiber to as many rooms as I can along side cat cabling - this will be our forever home now until we retire to where ever, so do it right now...

    TunnelVision vulnerability: Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose

    Or any public wifi or open network. I could go to a starbucks, connect to their wifi and run a DHCP server and exploit this, pending on how they have their wifi network set up and if secure (not likely)

    TunnelVision vulnerability: Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose

    you basically need to be on a comprimised network that has a DHCP server running on it that is specifically configured to not allow the main DHCP server towork right.

    Millions of Docker repos found pushing malware, phishing sites

    Very VERY VERy wrong... sadly :( Look at all these major breaches, usually comes down to no MFA enabled (ChangeHealth card) or admin using crap passwords, or other elevated users using personal devices and getting infected with info-stealers.

    Millions of Docker repos found pushing malware, phishing sites

    Because they are the same idiots who just copy and paste random code from github repo's because they really have no business being a developer. Some of these malicious actors are sneaky and do copy other projects and use URLs close or names the same and they know most people do not pay any...

    Millions of Docker repos found pushing malware, phishing sites

    It is the same people (cough, devs cough) who configure cloud services and leave S3 buckets wide open, RDP wide open on new VMs and skip every other basic security control (do not even add MFA to their AWS root account and use it for day to day tasks....) Companies keep supporting this because...

    Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) freeses

    Are you using Hyper-V as the virtualization? Have you checked your Windows Event logs to see any errors are reported at the time the freezing occurs? When you say you RDP to the system, are you RDP to the host Windows 11 box, or do you RDP direct into the VMs?

    Free Microsoft with ads?

    No one would want it...and people would then just find ways to block the ad's somehow. Instead just install it, not activate and just not be able to change your taskbar or desktop settings..

    Gigaplus 8-port 2.5G 2-port 10G switch $69

    Reason why they are not comparible, because these knock off fly by night brands will offer no support, no returns if you try, no firmware updates and are usually using old dated controllers and chips.
