I like to tinker with anything tech related.
Well in that case; My windows PC falls back to a server running Linux as that’s where all my files are, where my docker containers and VMs all run off… I can spin up a new PC in minutes (windows or Linux) as everything is done off the server, including staging my devices.
When you absolutely need to use Windows Defender… On Linux. Or when you need to use Cortana /s
Windows only app… Name one that is actually useful and I bet there is an alternative.
I don’t need it for windows applications, its basically something I can use for light photo and video editing and uploading to my server, all the heavy lifting is done on my PC which has windows because of adobe and better support for X264 and X265 when video editing.
I’ve gone with Unraid and consumer level hardware (intel i3 12100 and 16gb of standard ddr4 ram) the only “server hardware” I have, is an LSI HBA card that’s in IT mode so I can connect more HDDs.
I’m even used SMR drives in my array, just use a good CMR drive for parity and the biggest SSD you can get for your cache drive and you will be good to go.
Yes.
They is.
Gotta love a good TLA.
Hot to touch, and now its warn to touch.
Its the stock CPU cooler that comes with the newer Intel’s (this is a 12th gen i3)
I tried just the fan on it’s own, but gravity always left it sat at the bottem of my case.
Always, if it’s not, you need more zip ties.
This isn’t a high rpm fan, it’s enough to keep the LSI card cool.
How is not important at this stage, you need to deal with the threat, its possible they have access to your whole PC, files, network, everything (they may have made copies too)
Either you clicked on something or installed something spurious. Or they are on your network and they have access to your PCs directory. - the weakest link in any network are the users, think about what happened, what could have caused it and that’s your solution for it to not happen again (what did you install, what did you click on? etc…)
Change all WiFi passwords (disable that shitty easy connect WPS thing). disconnect your PC from any network, back up important files format all drives, reinstall OS.
I use a PI4 running Libreelec I use it exclusively for Plex (which has IPTV with the help of Xteve)
What do you mean, you can earn crypto for letting randoms use your “extra” bandwidth, what could possibly go wrong?
Give a gateron milky yellow or an everglide aqua king v3 a try, they are as smooth as silk with a little lube.
Like what, what format would this be? Regardless every company I have ever worked for issue me a laptop with windows anyway, so why would the OS I choose to use on hardware I own be a factor for work? Even then, if they didn’t I don’t know of any format that I would need that would be an issue.
