Wow! How innovative! I did this on Windows 3.1.

Log4j 2 is an Apache product. So this is both a Java AND an Apache problem.

Veeam Immutable Backups using a linux hardened server. Use is & test restores.

I have the same machine, bigger hardware specs than that, and while it can run a crap ton of VMs and a huge workload, it's still a dinosaur. The BIOS is straight out of 1995. I'm surprised there aren't MFM/RLL hard drive options in there.

Even still, if your big, old, thousand-pound dinosaur can't run Windows 11, you can put a TPM 2 card in and make it work.

Story should be "Microsoft Still allows Perpetual Licensing on Office 2021", not "....won't require you to pay for a subscription". The current headline makes it look like the new office will be free.

Itâ(TM)s expensive, but will save an ISP a lot of hassle if they have critical infrastructure prone to DDoS. Attacks on DNS was one of the main reasons to cease self-hosting my own external DNS services.

Sweden has quadruple the population density of Noway. Yes, this matters SIGNIFICANTLY for explaining infectious disease spread.

Come July 13th when the Democratic National Convention (DNC) takes place, if Bloomberg is not already the democratic candidate, they will have a "Brokered Convention" where he will come out the nominee. All of this caucus, primary, town-hall hoopla is all for show and games. He will buy the nomination, and the Dems will sell it to him.

I shouldn't have to do this, but I run a powershell script on all of my new Windows 10 PCs to remove the bloatware. I'm sure this isn't a complete list, but it should get the vast majority of it.

(tip, to list all apps, use the powershell command: Get-AppxPackage | Out-File Apps.txt )

Windows 10 phones ship with an app called "Maps." The same mapping back-end is used by the Maps app, and the HERE app. So Windows 10 phone users aren't out of a GPS/Navigation app, just constrained to using the Maps app from Microsoft.

Working in IT, and frequently watching desktop users, I was surprised to learn that MANY people actually use the Caps Lock key as shift. To make a capital letter, they will turn on caps, press the letter, then turn off caps. I've see 3 people in the last year do this!

I had pretty much the same issue, only a different provider (TWC). I wound up just getting a $20/month Linode virtual server, and haven't had any issues since, and I don't have to host any physical hardware at my house.
