#SYS
Welcome!! There are quite a few systems here on waf :) you're not alone! And people are very respecful to those with plurality.
If you're interested in another community that treats systems like everyone else, I highly recommend Starshine Valley, it has PluralKit and two system representatives that are apart of staff. It's a primarily furry art community but everyone is welcome. :cat_smoke:
#discord #sys
As an End User #IT #Support and as a #Sys #Admin IT Support this is what I've done:
Sourced, Orchestrated, Planned, and Executed the Privilege Access Management solutions based on the Least Privilege model.
Automated all COTS and Windows Updates weekly.
Created a simply streamed line system image rollout, update, and upkeep.
Implemented additional solutions when it comes to human security to mitigate risk.
Implemented Bitlocker drive encryption using TPM.
Are we federating again?
Let’s find out!
ETA: A downright silly number of people are looking at this. Hi! This is a test post because a combination of unexpectedly going viral combined with unfortunately timed system anti-spam maintenance resulted in breaking federation for my blog. We’re trying to fix it. Sorry for the test posts, but there will be more! Please bear with us and thank you.
ETA2: I think we’re in the clear now. Let’s find out! How long will this edit take to Federate around? xD
ETA3: Okay! That was way more normal! Now let’s try to do a little perf tuning while we’re here. Can we distribute edits as a giant chungus? LET’S GOOOOOOO
ETA4: We can, with PHP timeout cranked up to 60 seconds. Let’s change that so it’s halvsies to be safe. That sounds safe, right? I think so. Most of the performance (two queue runs instead of six), minimal additional risk.
I think we’re back, team. Assuming this works. Thanks for your patience!
oh btw HEY LOCALS we're on 4.2.14 mastodon now
still not on 4.3 i need to figure that shit out but we are at least on the latest of the 4.2 tree
you shouldn't really notice anything other than the version number changed
It may sound odd but
Today Anna and I upgraded all the servers in the servercore with MST3K in the background and had some pizza made by Paul and some pie made by a grocery store.
And it was a really nice day.
I am so pleased that (with the help of the Mastodon discord on that server) we got all the server OSes upgraded and back up and running and cleaned up some stuff while we were at it.
Just being able to… get some stuff done without it being a goddamn nightmare or a huge fight or anything. Just mostly sitting around and chatting some while upgrading stuff and getting things that broke working again without too much of a fuss.
could use days like this more often, not gonna lie
how was your day?
While upgrading or installing any package, if you are getting an unmet dependencies error, you can resolve it with the given steps.
i would not buy ecovax devices
Hm, ecovax feels no need to patch this bluetooth exploit that lets you p0wn their robot vacuums and lawnmowers and do things like turn on their built-in cameras and microphones, and have them connect to random servers directly themselves.
It’s on the basis that since it’s bluetooth, you need to be in the area of the device, but, uh, that’s also true for hax0ring your local wifi? So I don’t see how that’s actually better.
Anyway – neat! Maybe don’t buy their stuff.
if you use polyfill dot io, stop RIGHT NOW and read this
So, uh… if you use polyfill dot io to help power your websites, are you aware of the bad shit going down?
You should be, because it’s very bad. Malware injection bad. Details here.

windows is still vms inside and i hate that for it
so I had an amusing by which I mean FUCK YOU WINDOWS adventure wherein i went to check to make sure my gaming rig (and only windows box) actually did have the patch for the wifi remote execution bug because I was pretty sure I got the patch late Thursday night but it never hurts to check and I did have it but there was another patch waiting to go so I just went ahead and installed it and that was fine except somehow installing that reactivated a really old update from January for a combination recovery/bitlocker issue which kept trying to install but failing with an obscure error code that turned out to be due to my recovery partition being too small despite having been set up by windows itself (they silently upped the size requirement without telling you or making it bigger thanks gyes) so i had to fix that which meant i had to move around partitions and shrink and grow them like one of those 15-number puzzles but eventually i got there but then Windows Recovery service said it couldn’t start anymore after making my recovery partition bigger but then said it could start again after I tried again so I decided the first failure was just random and tried to install the January windows update once more but it still wouldn’t go so i rebooted in case that would help and somehow that resulted in my machine deciding to boot off a three and a half year old image on another physical device that I forgot was even there so that was exciting, but it was okay because i got that fixed by just taking the other drive out and that got me back to where i just had to fix windows recovery again and it turned out it was broken because it didn’t have a windows recovery source image for some reason (even though a complete integrity check passed) so that was kinda fucked and eventually i managed to find other people with the same problem but everything i could find said i needed a winrm.wim which i most certainly didn’t have and then other people with the same problem said you had to get that off your install iso and I did have that but my install iso didn’t have a winrm.wim and eventually i found out that what i really needed was an install.wim so i could extract the winrm.wim but my iso didn’t have that either, only corporate copies have that, mine only had a install.cra or something I forget and it turns out those .cra or whatever I forget files have stacks of like eight install.wims inside them and you have to extract the right one, and once you’ve figured that out, then you can mount the install.wim you’ve extracted and dig through that for a surprisingly long while to get the winrm.wim that’s right for your system and put it in the special magic place and point windows recovery at it and then finally windows recovery will go “oh look you have a winrm.wim now how nice okay I will run it for you” and once all that’s working then as long as you’ve remembered to make your recovery partition bigger and haven’t accidentally reset it back to default the windows update patch from January will probably run correctly (and it is only probably because sometimes this doesn’t fix it and nobody knows why?) but in my case it did and it worked.
VICTORY FOR TAK!
(i’m not even mad even if every time i get more than like five minutes into a genuine windows problem i am reminded once again that dave fucking cutler came from fucking vms and that vms took perfectly good rsts/e and gave it both anxiety and a desperate need to explain itself through verbosity and i’m a little mad at him about it all over again)
anyway, then i could play overwatch again yay
Don’t install any version of Windows 11 that can run copilot/recall
Don’t install any version of Windows 11 that can run Copilot/Recall if there is or ever will be absolutely anything on the machine you want to keep private in any way. Anything.
Particularly passwords, but in no way just that.
Not even if your hardware theoretically doesn’t support it and theoretically can’t run it. That doesn’t matter. Do not install it.
To be as clear as I can be, I’m not just saying “turn off this feature no matter what,” though if it’s already running, you need to do that right now and also purge your entire history and also see if you can scrub your system drive of all abandoned data files related to Copilot/Recall. I’m saying, literally, do not install any version of Windows that contains recall.
Yes, I am being obscure about why. Deliberately. I get this way when a problem is both too serious and too easy to replicate. This is the kind of shit I have in the past – when I was what one might call not a white hat – gone through trusted third parties to report and get fixed, mostly because of the “too easy” part.
It’s been a while, but I just did this again, some several days ago. I do not know whether anything is coming of it, but at least I have tried. And today, I have received information which – if correct, and that’s always an if – says that the situation is even worse than I thought.
One of the solutions I handed my third-party relay does, at least, address one of the new issues I am absolutely not describing here. However, none of the solutions I brought address the other issues I am also not describing here.
Do not install.
