A flexible and powerful static content management system for building complex and beautiful websites out of flat files — for people who do not want to make a compromise between a CMS and a static blog engine.
Getting your ideas implemented is as easy as frying an egg.
Sometimes the size of the ondisk transaction area does not fit the update package size and will fail on reboot.
You can circumvent this by extend this area with the command before update and reboot the system:
fsutil resource setlog maxextents 100 C:\Free backup software to store encrypted backups online
For Windows, macOS and Linux
The SPICE protocol supports guests with more than one monitor. Windows guests and Linux guests behave somewhat differently, so they need to be configured in slightly different ways.
This topic describes how to use Windows Server to deploy Roaming User Profiles to Windows client computers. Roaming User Profiles redirects user profiles to a file share so that users receive the same operating system and application settings on multiple computers.
Dynamic instrumentation toolkit for developers, reverse-engineers, and security researchers.
Scriptable
Inject your own scripts into black box processes. Hook any function, spy on crypto APIs or trace private application code, no source code needed. Edit, hit save, and instantly see the results. All without compilation steps or program restarts.
Algo VPN is a set of Ansible scripts that simplify the setup of a personal IPSEC and Wireguard VPN. It uses the most secure defaults available, works with common cloud providers, and does not require client software on most devices. See our release announcement for more information.
Because The join domain account is often visible in your deployment answer file (unattend.xml of sysprep.inf) during the WinPE phase, it is important that this specific account does not have any more permission, than the bare minimum.. I often experience that a domain admin account is used for this job, which is a huge security breach. When i ask why this is, the answer is normally “ we can not find the information on how to create an account with only join domain rights”.
Warning: This post is long. While working through this massive server upgrade/migration process, tears were shed, many cuss words were said, along with a general feeling of frustration, which ultimately culminated into extreme happiness once the migration was completed. The scale and complexity of the implementation factor into the length of this post, and I’ll share my thought process on how this was executed, so here goes.
This article describes how to configure Windows to automate the logon process by storing your password and other pertinent information in the registry database. By using this feature, other users can start your computer and use the account that you establish to automatically log on.
Important The autologon feature is provided as a convenience. However, this feature may be a security risk. If you set a computer for autologon, anyone who can physically obtain access to the computer can gain access to all the computer's contents, including any networks it is connected to. Additionally, when autologon is turned on, the password is stored in the registry in plain text. The specific registry key that stores this value can be remotely read by the Authenticated Users group. This setting is recommended only for cases in which the computer is physically secured and steps have been taken to make sure that untrusted users cannot remotely access the registry.
Powershell script to check windows updates using NRPE/NSClient++
Checks:
- how many critical and optional updates are available
- whether the system is waiting for reboot after installed updates
Features: - properly handles NRPE's 1024b limitation in return packet
- hidden updates return OK state
- Performance data in return packet shows titles of available critical updates
- caches updates in file to reduce network traffic, also dramatically increases script execution speed
Return Values for NRPE:
- No updates available - OK (0)
- Hidden Updates only - OK (0)
- Updates already installed, reboot required - WARNING (1)
- Optional updates available - WARNING (1)
- Critial updates available - CRITICAL (2)
- Script errors - UNKNOWN (3)
NSClient is an agent designed originally to work with Nagios but has since evolved into a fully fledged monitoring agent which can be used with numerous monitoring tools (like Icinga, Naemon, OP5, NetEye Opsview etc). If you want more in-depth information see the documentation instead.
Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. The notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format.
Notes exported from Evernote via .enex files can be imported into Joplin, including the formatted content (which is converted to Markdown), resources (images, attachments, etc.) and complete metadata (geolocation, updated time, created time, etc.). Plain Markdown files can also be imported.
The notes can be synchronised with various cloud services including Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV or the file system (for example with a network directory). When synchronising the notes, notebooks, tags and other metadata are saved to plain text files which can be easily inspected, backed up and moved around.
The application is available for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS. A Web Clipper, to save web pages and screenshots from your browser, is also available for Firefox and Chrome.
Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core -- much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client such as WeeChat, but graphical. In addition to this unique feature, we aim to bring a pleasurable, comfortable chatting experience to all major platforms (including Linux®, Windows®, and MacOS X® as well as Android smartphones), making communication with your peers not only convenient, but also ubiquitous available.
And the best of all: It's free - as in beer and as in speech, since we distribute Quassel under the GPL, and you are welcome to download and see for yourself!
PyInstaller freezes (packages) Python applications into stand-alone executables, under Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris and AIX.
PyInstaller’s main advantages over similar tools are that PyInstaller works with Python 2.7 and 3.4—3.7, it builds smaller executables thanks to transparent compression, it is fully multi-platform, and use the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility
containerd is available as a daemon for Linux and Windows. It manages the complete container lifecycle of its host system, from image transfer and storage to container execution and supervision to low-level storage to network attachments and beyond.
In this tutorial, we will explore the conversion of Python scripts to Windows executable files in four simple steps. Although there are many ways to do it, we'll be covering, according to popular opinion, the simplest one so far.
The sane way to manage software on Windows
- Chocolatey builds on technologies you know - unattended installation and PowerShell.
Chocolatey works with all existing software installation technologies like MSI, NSIS,
InnoSetup, etc, but also works with runtime binaries and zip archives. Go
Pro/Business to dial that experience up to 11! - Easily manage all aspects of Windows software (installation, configuration, upgrade,
and uninstallation). Chocolatey is the most reliable when software is included in the
package, but can also easily download resources. - Take advantage of PowerShell to provide automated software management instructions
and Chocolatey’s built-in module to turn complex tasks into one line function calls!
