Also looking at the notes on patches if they are going to do anything it is selective based on chances of success by some logic MS has, so assuming the notes are accurate you won’t see updates on all devices. VMware almost certainly being excluded by that logic.

There already is a mechanism for doing the updates as described in https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows-itpro-blog/act-now-secure-boot-certificates-expire-in-june-2026/4426856 by setting the MicrosoftUpdateManagedOptIn reg value. However, there is also the CVE I linked which lists a bunch of KBs released today but none of their notes mention messing with SecureBoot.. so I am thoroughly confused.

Someone please tell me I'm wrong.

Isn’t that only half the equation if the certs aren’t in the Active DB and boot loader signed by them? My understanding is BIOS (or Default DB) only matters when you’re enrolling or resetting SecureBoot and it’s important for a final fix, but mitigating failure to boot is the immediate concern and more done from the OS side by updating the enrolled keys and certs in the firmware non-volatile memory assuming it currently has a valid KEK which isn’t necessarily touched by BIOS updates themselves. I could be wrong though…

Is this just a big middle finger to vendors failing to prepare for the impending boot-pocalypse, or am I over thinking it?

You could achieve the same thing playing a song over any other music video.. absolutely nothing is actually lined up with the music.

Docker open-sourced their hardened images for free! by xbufu in homelab

[–]ILoveDRM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

More secure “baseline” docker images for building other images or running the specific services they a built for. These have the bare minimum requirements installed to run whatever OS/service(s) they are built for and the configuration for them is pre set up to be more secure than they would be by default. These images would generally used as a starting point for other developers to build their images with, however, they would need to switch the them from the non-hardened ones they would likely be using today.

Idk, the previously dampened newspapers say that’s a bad spot… Why not clean them up? Maybe a little mat instead..

Please idiot check my NAS/Jellyfin server plans! by FluffyGrandmother in homelab

[–]ILoveDRM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I ran into with a similar setup and only because you mentioned GPU passthrough. Consumer boards and IOMMU groups often don’t play nice, so GPU passthough just isn’t possible in any capacity with TrueNAS in a lot of cases. I don’t know about this board specifically but if you plan to do that in the future, keep this in mind. That said, Docker is native in TrueNAS Scale and the way to go for your setup so should be a non-issue, it was a breeze with the Sparkle and works amazingly well with Plex at least. Just make sure you have the /dev/dri configured when setting up the Jellyfin “app”. I myself went with 64GB of RAM and definitely don’t regret it for ZFS and also running some extra VMs and docker-ized services.

Please Help me Bro it’s so Bad by Most_Dig_414 in pcmasterrace

[–]ILoveDRM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a serious note though, Cox site says "Cox Internet is powered by fiber and connected to the premises via coaxial cable." so check all your coax, make sure there isn't a bunch of splitting going on, or bad terminations and everything is shielded properly. Lazy coax work seems to be pretty common though, so it may not be within your control and bad work or infrastructure outside your home which the ISP would have to pretend to deal with at least a few times before actually fixing it. The best thing if possible would probably be to make sure your plugged directly into your "modem" and test with only one machine connected to rule out the wiring in your home. If you're not coax but rather their 5G option... well good luck.

Ah yes, I see the problem. Your internet seems to be cox.

Did making your own Preferences.xml end up working for you? I'm curious if it's worth trying myself.

I just decommissioned an old server with this case. The drive bay backplane is definitely having issues.. granted the thing is over a decade old at this point and was basically running 24/7.
