Bare metal OS that routes all the traffic through Tor?

27 April 2024 @ 12:51 am

Is there a bare metal OS that routes all traffic through Tor? I'm aware of Whonix but since it requires a VM it's pretty slow to run on an older laptop (2010 era).

How to format an external drive into encrypted exFAT in Windows 11?

27 April 2024 @ 12:37 am

My current USB drive (256gb) is formatted in Mac and is an encrypted APFS file system made in Disk Utility. I recently started using Windows 11 and I would like to transfer and access files between Windows and Mac. I am also getting a 2tb external SSD (usb-c) to use as a larger backup disk. How can I encrypt my USB drive and external SSD so that those can be accessed by both Windows and Mac?

ddrescue second run, running time: n/a

27 April 2024 @ 12:35 am

I am running ddrescue to rescue a windows 10 drive to a new ssd from a gparted media drive. I ran it successfully the first time with: sudo ddrescue -f -d -n /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /path/to/map.log. I wanted to run it a second time but in reverse to scrape as much data as possible from some bad sectors. sudo ddrescue -f -d -n -R /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /path/to/map.log. But the process finishes immediately Press Ctrl-C to interrupt ipos: 0 GB, non-trimmed: 0 B, current rate: 0 B/s opos: 0 GB, non-scraped: 0 B, average rate: 0 B/s non-tried: 0 kB, bad-sector: 0 B, error rate: 0 B/s rescued: 109604 GB, bad areas: 0, run time: 0s pct rescued: 100.00%, read errors: 0, remaining time: n/a time since last successful read: n/a Finished Is there a

What is the proper way to restore EFS certificate?

26 April 2024 @ 11:56 pm

I have backed up my EFS certificate (.pfx) along with the password I used for it. And then I followed this tutorial to restore it which seemed pretty straight forward. I didn't encounter any errors when restoring the certificate. However, when I try to access the encrypted files, it shows this message: enter image description here Is there anything else I'm missing?

Configure Wordpress to use MariaDB over SSL? [migrated]

26 April 2024 @ 11:07 pm

I cannot get Wordpress to work with using SSL connection for the database. My client/server setup is working with a regular DB user over ssl so I can confirm it is setup correctly using MariaDB client. Here is my 50-client.cnf [client] ssl_ca = /etc/mysql/ssl/ca-cert.pem ssl_cert = /etc/mysql/ssl/client-cert.pem ssl_key = /etc/mysql/ssl/client-key.pem And here is my WordPress wp-config.php with the client flag configuration. define( 'MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS', 'MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL' ); I also tried to define the SSL_CA, SSL_KEY, and SSL_CERT in wp-config.php but that didn't help either. define( 'MYSQL_SSL_KEY', '/etc/apache2/ssl/client-key.pem' ); define( 'MYSQL_SSL_CERT', '/etc/apache2/ssl/client-cert.pem' ); define( 'MYSQL_SSL_CA', '/etc/apache2/ssl/ca-cert.pem' ); Has anyone got this working and what did you need to do?

SSH key works for FileZilla and Windows CMD, but not PuTTY

26 April 2024 @ 9:56 pm

I upgraded Raspbian on my 6 Raspberry Pi units from Bullseye to Bookworm by: Updating /etc/apt/sources.list. sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade I didn't change anything in the upgrade. The default was N to not change configs. Everything is still working as usually, but SSH is not. Then when trying to SSH in, I get this error in PuTTY: enter image description here Restarting didn't fix it. As a hail mary, I tried logging in with FileZilla using the exact same .ppk key, and it works fine! enter image description here I don't have sudo access with SFTP, so I can't change a

/dev/kvm in guest Ubuntu running on a Windows host with hyper-v enabled

26 April 2024 @ 9:05 pm

My question is an extension of this. Basically I enabled "Hyper-V" and "Windows Hypervisor Platform". I did this because I will create a new VM in hyper-v that has GPU passthrough since VirtualBox's hypervisor cannot do it. So now I have a VM in VirtualBox that I set up to use KVM as paravirtualization and has the nested virtualization enabled (As shown in the images below). However, when I boot it I cannot see the /dev/kvm anymore. When I disable the Hyper-V and win hypervisor platform the guest's /dev/kvm appears again. Is it possible to make my VirtualBox VM use the KVM as its nested hypervisor? I don't want to export the VM and migrate it to hyper-v manager because it's already >500Gb. KVM as paravirtualiz

Internet connection is screen too complex and I need help understanding it

26 April 2024 @ 8:47 pm

enter image description here I dont know if this image will work but i hope it describes the issue. My ethernet connection is confusing me, a humble little game player and I am so overwhelmed. I do not know how any of this makes any sense for example 0%usage + Disconnected = 54mbs? How? I don't even use the WLAN. It is in Finnish so if needed I can provide translation I just need someone to tell me what exactly I am looking at because i am not having a good time. TLDR, Internet connection is screen too complex and I need help understanding it.

Why file/folder doesn't inherit new parent's folder permissions when moved?

26 April 2024 @ 8:42 pm

We have Windows Server 2022. We have a mapped drive which every department has it's own folder. But there are also folders which different department's have access to. When moving/cut a folder/file from a folder to another in the same volume it retains the permissions from the source folder. I have tried everything including Microsoft recommendations (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-client/windows-security/permissions-on-copying-moving-files) but nothing changes. User groups of every department have Read/Write permissions to This folder, subfolders and files and Modify permissions to Subfolders and files so they can't change the parent folder (rename or delete it). How it can be accomplished to make the moved folder/file inherit it's new parent's folder permissions?
