I have a relatively high quality SanDisk USB 3.0 flash drive. I have had it for a while (years). Can these flash drives be interrogated either under Windows, Linux, or macOS to disclose any firmware information regarding lifespan left? Will they just fail outright, or will there be signs before they fail completely?

Context: I have a Windows Server 2022 VM where Jenkins generates nightly builds. Jenkins checks out the repository and produces an ISO file as an artifact. I need to boot that ISO and run an automated test script (e.g., /mnt/workspace_devel/test/test_run.sh) inside the OS that starts from the ISO. Nested virtualization is not enabled (IT policy) Previous setup: In a previous environment where Windows was not virtualized, we used VMware Workstation Player to attach the ISO and run tests successfully. Now, IT has confirmed that nested virtualization is not allowed in the current environment Questions: Is there any way to install VMware Player, VirtualBox, or similar virtualization software inside this Windows Server VM to boot the ISO? If not, what are p

I have a web server that uses a additional restful server in a different port. I would like to allow traffic to the restful server only after a connection to the main server has been established. To accomplish that I use the following rules -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3001 -m recent --set --name P1 --mask 255.255.255.255 --rsource -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8000 -m recent --rcheck --seconds 1000 --name P1 --mask 255.255.255.255 --rsource -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8000 -m state --state NEW -j DROP -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8001 -m recent --rcheck --seconds 1000 --name P1 --mask 255.255.255.255 --rsource -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8001 -m state --state NEW -j DROP A connection is allowed to port 8000 / 8001 only if a connection on 3001 has already been established. The thing is that the scheme breaks down after three connections to port 8000. Do

I’m trying to get an Olaqin SET-2 PC/SC card reader (https://www.olaqin.fr/actualite-et-support-de-votre-set-2-contactless) to work under WINE on a computer running Linux Mint 22.2. I’m following that documentation, which seems sadly out-of-date: https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/soins2000. It fails at stage 5.1 (manual connexion). Even though the device is detected (it appears as USB 3-4 in dmesg) and works fine (using pcsc_scan from https://pcsc-tools.apdu.fr/) after installing the driver, I don’t know how to make it appear as a ~/.wine/dosdevices/comXX file (and then use it as COMXX within WINE). In particular, I have no /dev/ttyACM0 nor /dev/ttyUSB

The keyboard on this second-hand laptop is non-functional. After consulting online tutorials, I performed the following troubleshooting steps: Accessed Device Manager. Uninstalled the keyboard driver. Restarted the system. Upon restarting, the keyboard functioned temporarily for several minutes before failing again. The issue persists even when an external USB keyboard is connected. The previous owner suggested that reinstalling the operating system would resolve the problem. What steps can be taken to diagnose and repair the keyboard without reinstalling Windows?

In a script I want to delete specified files, but only if they are writable (by the caller). I thought yes n | rm ... would do the work, but appearantly not: > touch t/beta t/gamma ; chmod a-w t/gamma ; ls -l t total 0 -rwxrwxrwx 1 xx xx 0 Dec 1 12:58 beta -r-xr-xr-x 1 xx xx 0 Dec 1 12:58 gamma > yes n | rm t/alpha t/beta t/gamma rm: cannot remove 't/alpha': No such file or directory > ls -l t total 0 If I just run rm ... then rmstops and ask nicely and respecting my "no" for an answer, this is what I want except having to manually answer "no" (and nonzero exit code is also as desired): > touch t/beta t/gamma ; chmod a-w t/gamma ; ls -l t total 0 -rwxrwxrwx 1 xx xx 0 Dec 1 13:01 beta -r-xr-xr-x 1 xx xx 0 Dec 1 13:01 gamma > rm t/alpha t/beta t/gamma rm: cannot remove 't/alpha': No such file or directory rm: remove write-protected regular empty file 't/gamma'?

I am processing a file with a lot of temporal noise. Using hqdn3d in FFMPEG with very high settings, I was able to successfully remove the temporal noise. But, now, scenes with quick motion contain heavy ghosting artifacts. How can I remove the ghosting artifacts from the file?

I’m trying to run a professional health software on WINE, but it fails at some point with the following error message (� = non-rendered accentuated character): Permissions pour 'Everyone': 1301ff Aucun droit de contr�le total trouv� pour 'Everyone'. Contr�le total accord� � Everyone pour le fichier C:\windows/galss.ini Translation: Permissions for 'Everyone': 1301ff No full control right found for 'Everyone' Full control granted to Everyone on file C:\windows/galss.ini How can I grant full access to Everyone (bad practice, I know, but I’m not the software’s dev) to that file using WINE? I’ve tried the WINE file explorer, but it does not give me the option to change the permissions. Or am I totally off-base, and user permissions is not a thing within WINE? EDIT: For anyone wondering, this is what I’m trying to reproduce:

I have three Windows Machines, an Android Tablet and two Android phones. Something has gone wrong with the Bookmark sync in Chrome. Even though I keep deleting them, they keep coming back! Sometimes they seem to reproduce! How can I finally "put a stake into their hearts" and not have them return? All machines are connected to the same Google Account.

The title of my question might sound bizarre, let me show what I mean: yesterday I managed launching the following command inside my WSL environment: find /mnt/c/Development -name "abseil_dll.dll" -exec /mnt/c/Development/util/sigcheck.exe {} \; | grep -E "abseil_dll.dll|MachineType" (It's the idea to search for all files, called "abseil_dll.dll", run the sigcheck.exe command, showing (amongst others) if they are 32-bit or 64-bit, and filter on that latter information.) The used "sigcheck.exe" is from Sysinternals, and indeed, it is a Windows command, used in a WSL (UNIX/Linux) environment. Today I arrived at work, I saw that I needed to restart my computer and now that command is not working anymore. The root cause would be the following: My Windows ve
