**Optimization of pre-installation of Windows 10 x64 Home Edition (Part 1)**

17 October 2025 @ 10:57 pm

OPTIMIZATION OF PRE-INSTALLATION PARTITIONS OF WINDOWS 10 x64 HOME EDITION (Part 1) 1st of all let me apologize for not RTFM (I assume none exists for what I am about to ask) or going through your FAQ before asking the following questions: CIRCUMSTANCES: I am working with limited resources (MSI AM1i motherboard, AMD APU 3850, 16 GBs of DDR3 1600MHz RAM, no graphics card, Toshiba DT01ACA050 HDD 465,64 GBs formatted), and therefore I would like to "squeeze" as much performance as possible out of the current setup. I am forced to move from the current Toshiba DT01ACA050 (which is now full) to a Seagate ST2000DM008 HDD which should allow me to enjoy (hopefully) less waiting during file read/writes of the file system. Given that this (ST2000DM008, 1862,89 GBs) is a modern drive purchased somewhere over the last 6-7 years, I am assuming it is of Advanced Format, 4Kn format. INDICATED VALUES ON TH

Why am I getting an error 87 DISM check health in Windows 11?

17 October 2025 @ 10:26 pm

I tried to install Linux on a secondary disk in my PC and after a failed Linux grub installation my PC didn't boot in Windows 11. I use a bootable USB flash drive and I in Windows repair mode and I run the below command in cmd: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth Always shows me the error 87 at the attached picture. I run also the sfc /scannow command and chkdsk but the problem not solved. Any ideas? enter image description here

Veracrypt finds ghost partitions on newly deleted external sd/usb disks

17 October 2025 @ 9:39 pm

On Win10x64 I deleted the partition on an external usb stick, which was confirmed by Diskpart. However, Veracrypt's device list still shows the deleted partition, which means I can't encrypt the disk. Why does Veracrypt show phantom partitions? Further, VC shows the partition as having null size. EDIT - This gets stranger, I also just tried a sd card, but same thing. I've uploaded 2 images showing the disconnect between VC and DM. I also tried diskpart clean, but nothing seems to fix it. I reckon it's a bug, or whatever they're called nowadays. VC Drv Lst DM Properties

Frames and lists in Microsoft Word in a Style command

17 October 2025 @ 6:54 pm

I have gone a bit crazy when checking and validating a document produced by my team due to a lot of typograhic eroors and have therefore gone on a long quest to change the document and improve what can be improved. Among other things I have started a rigorous stylesheet. I have tried to do so for some short highlighted extracts. To mimic the starting points, it is using frames. I thought I had an easy win when I managed to get that good result But then later I encountered my new current nemesis : lists bad result So I understand the way framing works by default is to have a defined spacing relative to the text which is the problem.Style Frame So is there A way to better define framing to prevent that from happening ? An alternate command to framing to get the same

In vCenter 8, how to view all VM's with snapshots?

ffmpeg command to tonemap an HDR video to SDR in OGV format

17 October 2025 @ 4:29 pm

I was successfully using this command on other SDR videos. It caps the vertical resolution at 1080p but maintains the original aspect ratio and uses settings recommended by Godot devs: ffmpeg -hide_banner -i %movie%.mp4 -vf "scale=-1:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease" -q:v 6 -q:a 6 -g:v 64 %movie%.ogv I added newlines before each option to make it easier to read, but I'm running this all on one line. The resulting colours are very washed out, so I'm hoping I can use some kind of automatic tonemapping to produce a better result (it's an outdoor forest scene with a person wearing an orange shirt). I found this example to convert HD

Windows 10 Home does not boot anymore - block with EOL?

17 October 2025 @ 3:48 pm

Just today in one laptop with Windows 10 Home installed I started the machine as usual but for a first time in its all life it loads the BIOS directly instead. Therefore is not possible boot Windows 10. What to do? I am assuming it is about EOL but is possible load the OS in peace? Of course no updates are expected anymore

How can I populate an Excel cell with information from a command prompt output?

17 October 2025 @ 3:31 pm

I know this is a fool's errand, and probably a bad idea, but just curious. Suppose I have a time tracking spreadsheet. When I open the spreadsheet, I put the time I started up Windows in a certain cell as my start time. If I forget to open my spreadsheet when I "clock in", I open a command prompt window and invoke the query user command: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.26100.6584] (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\mstewart>query user USERNAME SESSIONNAME ID STATE IDLE TIME LOGON TIME >mstewart console 3 Active 12:33 10/17/2025 10:06 C:\Users\mstewart> I then copy the LOGON TIME time of day portion into my spreadsheet. Is it possible to automate that via VBA? I checked this other Super User question and this one as well

Why does a USB flash drive crash a computer?

17 October 2025 @ 12:56 pm

I plugged in a USB flash drive with old pictures on it and loaded up an old picture that was a JPEG file. The picture immediately started becoming red and grainy. As I tried a couple more pictures and got the same result, I wanted to eject the drive. The tab wouldn't load anymore, and a couple of minutes later the whole PC crashed. When I rebooted, the screen was flickering red until it repaired itself. Is there a way to safely use this USB flash drive? Edit for clarification: I've been using other flash drives on the PC with no problem. I viewed other pictures and videos with no problem. After the reboot there were some small red pixels in specific spots that appeared when I played videos that were downloaded onto the PC.

ObjectBox - any way to reuse a retired Uid to treat properties with same name as the same property?

18 October 2025 @ 6:14 am

I had this property named reminders in my Task entity. String? reminders; then I deleted it to migrate it to use List<String> instead, unfortunately I realized this later that to migrate the type of the property, I should have kept the old type and created a new property and then I should have added some migration logic. So, before realizing this, I deleted the old property, and created a new property with type List<String> . Now I want to migrate the old reminders data to use the new type, for this, I changed the name of my new List<String> property as remindersNew and created a new property with the same old name reminders(which I should have kept in first place). Now, since objectbox tracks the properties with Uid, this reminders and old reminders are considered different and I can't query old remin

Rust crate that would derive a struct for an enum where each field corresponds to a variant and the field data corresponds to the variant data

Is it possible to implement Basic Authentication in YARP (ASP.NET Reverse Proxy)?

18 October 2025 @ 5:25 am

I’m trying to find out whether it’s possible to implement Basic Authentication directly in YARP (Yet Another Reverse Proxy). If YARP doesn’t natively support Basic Auth, that’s fine — I’m mainly wondering whether there are any existing extensions, middleware, or ITransformProvider implementations that could be reused instead of building everything from scratch. In other words: Does YARP have any built-in support for Basic Authentication? If not, are there any community-provided transform providers or plugins that handle authentication headers automatically? I’d appreciate any guidance or examples on how to approach this properly within the YARP pipeline.

Symmetric Encryption Padding Issues AES/PKCS*7/CBC

18 October 2025 @ 5:19 am

I am unable to determine what is causing the exception being thrown ("invalid padding bytes"). From trying to find examples of the same issue, this seems to mostly be using the incorrect key when decrypting. My output shows the keys to be the same, as well as the password and salt (unsurprisingly if the keys match). What is causing the exception to be raised? import os from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes, padding from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers import Cipher, algorithms, modes from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.pbkdf2 import PBKDF2HMAC class PasswordManager: key_size_bits = 256 block_size_bits = 128 encoding = 'UTF-8' @staticmethod def encrypt_data(password, salt, data): print(f"{password=}") print(f"{salt=}") print(f"{data=}") key = PasswordManager.generate_aes_key(password, salt) print(f"{key=}") cipher = Cipher(al

Docker exec with psql single result hangs

18 October 2025 @ 5:16 am

I have a bash script that runs docker exec into a Postgresql container to retrieve the maximum ID of a DB table: sudo docker exec -it my-database psql -qtAX -U postgres -c "select MAX(rwi.id) from myschema.myimporttable rwi;" myschema If I run that statement from the host command line like this, it immediately returns the correct response, say 66. If I instead assign it to a variable in a bash script, it hangs indefinitely: result=$(sudo docker exec -it my-database psql -qtAX -U postgres -c "select MAX(rwi.id) from myschema.myimporttable rwi;" myschema) Checking pg_activity, it shows ClientRead in idle state for that query. I need to kill -9 to terminate this. If I log-in to the container and run result=$(psql -qtAX -U postgres -c "select MAX(rwi.id) from myschema.myimporttable rwi;" myschema), it does not hang. I assume it is something with my docker exec that causes the hang.

Ghostscript color separation version dot Angle Settings

For this reason, on the old server I used the ErrorLog directive in the Apache conf for each site, e.g., my virtual hosts all resemble this basic template: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName somedomain.com ServerAlias www.somedomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/somedomain/html ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/somedomain_error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/somedomain_access_log combined ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/sites/somedomain/cgi-bin/ DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php <Directory /var/www/sites/somedomain/html> Options -Indexes +IncludesNOEXEC +FollowSymLinks Require all granted AllowOverride All </Directory> <Directory /var/www/sites/somedomain/cgi-bin> Require all granted Options +ExecCGI AcceptPathIn

Usage of SSL directives in Apache for backend-only https reverse-proxy?

17 October 2025 @ 4:47 pm

I've recently migrated an existing Apache2 webserver config from a "traditional" Debian-based linux machine to an AWS EKS environment using the hub.docker Httpd Docker official image instead. The primary behaviour of this server is to act as a reverse proxy for several backend HTTP and HTTPS sites, with AWS handling the public-facing HTTPS (inc SSL cert) for the frontend in CloudFront. The internal AWS traffic inbound to the server uses HTTP. The previous config, on Debian, directly handled HTTPS for both inbound and backend traffic in Apache. I've tried to remove the redundant modules and config from the server, but I'm not sure what parts of the SSL config should be kept. The SSL module is required for the HTTPS backend, but the default .conf file provided in the Docker image includes config for both frontend and backend usage. My primary concern is whether I should retain the

Local CDP locations work but show error in pkiview

17 October 2025 @ 2:21 pm

I'm trying to set up CDP and AIA on a Windows Server certificate authority. It works fine with HTTP and LDAP locations, but I can't get it to obtain CRLs from local path like \\<server name>\CRL$\<...>.crl - pkiview displays an error ("unable to download"). If I copy the URL and paste it into Explorer/browser, it opens fine. The folder is shared, and Everyone group has full access permissions. I tried reissuing basic CRL, restarting certificate services and restarting a controller, but to no avail.

Windows Server 2019 Core - Limit on the number of RDP sessions

17 October 2025 @ 11:26 am

I am configuring Windows Server 2019 Core to allow only one simultaneous RDP session (regardless of the user), and I would like to know if this can be done through a policy or registry change, and if so, how. Thank you in advance. I tried using the following, but it didn't work: Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" -Name "MaxInstanceCount" -Value 1 -Type DWORD Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services" -Name "fSingleSessionPerUser" -Value 1 -Type DWORD

My last log line is not flushed in the concat filter fluentd k8s operator

17 October 2025 @ 10:53 am

I have a Java application in a pod that is spitting out logs straight to stdout. These logs are fetched by the log-operator which runs a combination of fluent bit 3.1.8 and fluentd 1.16.1. The operator is kube-logging v 4.10 (https://kube-logging.dev/search/). If I run an output crd to splunk all log entries come in single lines. also stack traces. if I add the following filters filters: - parser: key_name: event parse: type: json remove_key_name_field: true reserve_data: true - grep: exclude: - key: message pattern: ^$ - concat: flush_interval: 30 key: message multiline_start_regexp: /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}/ stream_identity_key: kubernetes.pod_name first one parses the event to an actual json blob from this { "hos

Reverse proxy multiple services over HTTPS using Caddy + Tailscale

17 October 2025 @ 8:42 am

I want to reverse proxy multiple services on the same machine (bare metal macOS), over HTTPS and Tailscale, without a custom domain (i.e. just using machine.tailnet.ts.net). I don't care if the services are on subdomains or paths; I just want to be able to type copyparty somewhere in the URL instead of :3923. I want Caddy & Tailscale to do their thing where Caddy will supposedly automatically enlist Tailscale to get Let's Encrypt certs for any .ts.net URL. I have tried a hundred different permutations of Caddyfile but I can't hack it. Supposedly, I should be able to do just this to get it working: machine-name.tailnet-name.ts.net { reverse_proxy localhost:3923 } Though that would only do for one service. Mostly, when testing it with curl, I will get "Connection reset by peer" immedi

VPN clients unable to access some network resources

17 October 2025 @ 8:32 am

I have a local network behind a Ubuntu server doing NAT, iptables, OpenVPN, and VirtualBox, all IPV4. I need VPN clients to access machines in local network. Local net is 192.168.1.0/24 and VPN net is 192.168.2.0/24. In iptables I added a forward rule, from VPN net to local net INTNET="192.168.1.0/24" INTIF="eth1" VPNIF="tun0" VPNNET="192.168.2.0/24" iptables -A FORWARD -i $VPNIF -s $VPNNET -d $INTNET -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i $INTIF ! -s $VPNNET -d $VPNNET -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT And here is the routing table Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 10.0.24.36 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 100 0 0 eth1 192.168.2.0

Multiple Event ID 4624 , 4627 and 4634 on a file server from specific user and workstation

17 October 2025 @ 7:10 am

We have a lot of event id 4624 type 3, 4627 and 4634 on a file server for a specific user and workstation. This started after a specific date and is continuous. Prior to that the event viewer logs seem ok. I understand that 4624 is successful logon and type 3 is a network logon. What could cause this volume of 4624, 4627,and 4634 events on the file server?

Using iptables to NAT between multiple local networks [closed]

16 October 2025 @ 8:28 pm

I have four VLANs at the following interfaces on my Orange pi 5 running armbian: 192.168.2.200/24 at eth0 the base network from my provider, gateway at 192.168.2.254 192.168.200.1/24 at wifi for wifi 192.168.100.1/24 at iot for my iot devices 10.13.13.1/24 at wg0 for wireguard All traffic from wifi, iot and wg0 is NAT'ed to eth0 using /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i [IFACE] -o eth0 -j ACCEPT Now I want to access the devices on the iot network from wifi and wireguard (but not vice versa). I am at a loss on what I need to NAT all traffic from wifi destined to the iot. My latest attempt w
