Windows

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. If you look at the Windows command prompt from a network perspective, Linux has better “weapons” to offer. Often it’s the little things that frustrate me with Windows from time to time. For example, the DHCP client. In Linux it is sufficient to enter dhcpc -v to get a detailed logged output of what happened in the background with the DHCP. In Windows you can only rely on the presented Information, define some Log Actions or just wisely nod your head. ...

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Several times already I had the Problem that in Multimonitor mode of my laptop I undock it and some windows “stuck” to the old now non existing 2nd Screen. There are some things you can do to move it back but sometimes everything fails. So in first I made a small Autohotkey Script to move all Windows, but I wanted it done right and so I just put a small C# tool together. Opensource, feel free to use. Here a small Video how it works with my 2nd Screen attached: ...

Yesterday I wanted to install a Game from Epic Game Launcher in Windows. (Spellbreak, btw.) Unfortunately even I have a 1G Line, it only dripped in with about 100-500 kb/s and would take several hours to complete. ...

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Just as a note to myself or anybody who is interested in it, feel free to use. Often you come across hrefs linking to ssh://user@whatever:22. By default, Windows does not know what to do with this protocol. If you go to select the standard protocol handler for it, you only get redirected to the MS Store, offering you some expensive terminal apps you actually do not want to use. I, for myself, have been using the Pro version of MobaXterm for many years. MobaXterm has shell integration, but I never got it running right or being selectable as a protocol handler, unfortunately. But this is why I made this little method to actually make it working. ...

This is an updated posting from my older German Article. **I don’t want to give a rating of the Subsystem for Linux; for some, it is very useful; others may not be so happy about it, but let’s get straight to the point. The most pain I had was having my private key in the Subsystem and needing to re-authenticate every time by entering the key. I’m used to using the Keepass integrated (plugin) Agent, and that’s why my key has a password that’s too long to type. ...

After some days with the new Microsoft Surface 4 Pro I’m quite happy with it. One thing bugged me was the poorly SSD Performance. Microsoft use a Samsung M2 SSD with NVMe Protocol, actually a quite fast little thing. But a SSD Benchmark showed me unbelieveable bad performance at the Random Write and Threaded read: ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Is KeePass insecure? With KeeFarce, contents of an unlocked KDBX can be exported in plain text without notice. My test on KeePass 2.30 exported everything. Locked DB is safe; KeeFarce can’t decrypt. Works on Win7/8/10, 32/64-bit. Advice: close DB quickly, use 2FA, auto-lock, disable unused features. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I heard about Munich’s LiMux switch to Linux and possible return to Microsoft. Politicians blame Linux for typical IT issues, but many problems are internal, regardless of OS. My Linux attempts recur; past Ubuntu (around 8) had driver issues. Now I’m trying Linux Mint, staying in the Debian world. ...

There’s active debate and speculation. Version 7.2 only decrypts. Forks likely soon. For those who want to continue, here’s a mirror of the last good Windows binary: download. ...
