I can find the official Pi Pico for $3.50, I’m sure clones are cheaper than that.

But that means that someone else’s server is used whenever you leave your home network.

I’m pretty sure syncthing does NAT hole punching, so someone else’s server is only used for initial connection, after that, your data goes directly to your devices.

Maybe it was used as some sort of privilege escalation? E.g. NP++ downloads an XML file to %TEMP%, some already present malware modifies it, then GUP downloads a payload and executes it with administrator permissions.

It’s easy enough to add your own secure boot keys, you can even remove the Microsoft keys so that only your OS will boot.

windows server edition which not possible to get if u are not business client and it cost 800$

It probably depends on your uni, but students can get Windows Server licenses for free on Azure Education.

This isn’t about Firefox, and there are zero mentions of Firefox in the article. This is about Mozilla screwing over their volunteers by replacing their human written translations, with inaccurate machine translations written by a closed source LLM.

on these atomic distros where even something like syncthing involves shenanigans to keep active week to week? Ain’t happening.

I don’t see why you couldn’t kexec into a new kernel. kexec will load a kernel into memory from an already running kernel, and jump into it. It’ll suck for the user as they’ll have to semi-reboot everytime they want HDMI 2.1, but it’s easy and doesn’t install anything.

There’s also live patching, but I think that’ll be a bit of work.

Of course the kernel needs to be compiled with those options enabled, but most distros do.

Edit: And they probably won’t work with kernel lockdown/secure boot.

DP has an option to transmit HDMI signals instead, this is what passive adapters use and will still have the same HDMI 2.0 issue. A DP source can be passively adapted to HDMI, but a HDMI source cannot be passively adapted to DP.

You can also get active HDMI adapters which actively convert the signal, and can work with HDMI 2.1. Intel actually has an active converter chip built into their ARC GPUs, and is how they get around this issue.

You’re going to have a hard time trying to get that working over the WAN (if that’s even possible).

Wake on LAN is still encapsulated in an IP packet, so you can send it over the internet, and most WOL clients let you specify an IP. However your router will need to DNAT it to a broadcast address. Some routers have a check box for this (e.g. An ISP provided Technicolor router I have), some let you port forward to broadcast (e.g. Many routers, sometimes with workarounds), and some let you manually configure NAT (e.g. MikroTik routers).

So it is possible, but forwarding public internet traffic to a broadcast address seems like a bad idea, and I wouldn’t recommend it. Why I know this: I used to do this in middle school, and it does work quite well.

Depending on your BIOS and with fast boot, you might need to just hold one of the keys while booting instead of spamming it on boot.

If you just want an IPv6 prefix and don’t need the encryption a VPN provides, you can use an IPv6 broker. Hurricane Electric’s broker is a popular one.

That’s the OPs reply, not the AI.

Funny thing, time.is uses Cloudflare, and I only found out because of the outage.

Yeah thats fair enough. The ACS override patch should still have better isolation and speed than anything else you can do without native ACS, the security implications are just it’s theoretically possible to intercept another PCIe device’s traffic through the NIC; you can read more here.

SR-IOV works by presenting one device as many, which you can passthrough one of those to your VM. Meaning SR-IOV only works through PCIe passthrough, so you’d have to figure that out first. The GPU guides should get you most of the way there.

Some distros include an ACS patch into their kernel (e.g. Proxmox, and I think CachyOS), which lets you passthrough devices without hardware support (but lacking some security features).

I believe it might be possible to ‘passthrough’ the VF from the host without PCIe passthrough (I’ve only done this with containers though), but performance is often worse than just using a bridge.

Fun fact: there actually is an IP version 5, and the reason we went from v4 to v6.
