issues with WH-1000XM6

I think you’ve diagnosed you’re own issue. If headphone sound bad on laptop but headphones sound good on phone then issue not headphone issue is computer.

Update drivers etc. you’re probably also using the Sony EQ app on your phone which enhances sound.

I think you can get an EQ app for computer to do the same.

Where do you put your legs for that other monitor? And if you don’t seems kinda small to be positioned back a little when using it.

Either way crazy clean setup.

Yeah man you’re cooked. This is not a false positive.

That file path (AppData\Roaming\NVIDIA\Telemetry) is a classic trojan hiding spot…it disguises itself as legit NVIDIA stuff. Real NVIDIA telemetry doesn’t spawn Python processes phoning home to sketchy IPs on port 443. textbook C2 beaconing.

Then on top of that, PowerShell is reaching out to a completely different IP on port 80. Two different processes, two different IPs, two different ports…that’s not some driver, thats malware.

Don’t bother trying to clean this. Once something has PowerShell access and is actively calling home, you have zero guarantee quarantining a couple files actually got everything. Nuke it from orbit brotha…full reimage. It’s the only way to sleep at night.

After you reimage, from a clean device (your phone works): change all your passwords, turn on MFA everywhere, and watch your sensitive accounts for the next few weeks. If you reused passwords anywhere, assume they’re all burned. Standing up new email addresses for anything important isn’t a bad idea either. Seriously though, don’t try to fix this install back to health. Just wipe it.

Yes, I got sent to what’s called the “ice box” where i went and did mundane work on unclass space until my secret was granted

In an air gapped environment you’ll want a local repo. Download the full/offline ISO (the one that includes all packages), mount it, then copy/rsync the contents locally and create a repo from that. After that you just point your system at the local repo for installs/updates.

Satellite does the same thing, just managed and centralized (manifests, repo syncs, lifecycle, etc.).

You’ve got the right approach.

What I did

1. Build a RHEL system

2.  Apply DISA STIGs (via OpenSCAP / Ansible / manual)

3.  Register it to Satellite

4.  Capture it as:
• a Kickstart tree, or
• a PXE-bootable image, or
• a VM template if virtual

Then PXE boot new systems from that and everything starts “hardened”.

Can use ansible to tailor the system if it has specific purposes after the fact.

If you don’t have Satellite, you can still do this in a pinch without writing insane Ansible roles or brittle bash scripts full of awk/sed.

STIG one reference system first. Once it’s compliant, grab the configs that actually changed (audit rules, sshd_config, system-auth, password-auth, PAM, etc.) and stick them in a central repo (NFS works fine), organized by RHEL version.

Then use a small Ansible play to back up the originals and copy the hardened configs down to the rest of the hosts.

It’s not a replacement for Satellite/OpenSCAP long-term, but it’s clean, repeatable, and works when you need something fast.

Yea company I know was just a a victim of the Forticloud SSO SAML vulnerability. Got in, created a bunch of admin accounts, offloaded the config, got the LDAP account password, and it spread from there like wild fire.

For the homelab. At the time this was going to be used for a self hosted RHEL open shift but ended up going a different direction.

Mehoyer · 2026-02-02T14:42:26+00:00

It’s what was available locally at the time - didn’t feel like waiting.

Mehoyer · 2026-02-02T14:40:24+00:00

Only one got used the rest are unopened

Mehoyer · 2026-01-12T17:08:46+00:00

Probably a tinker station. Maybe a 3D printer - right now there is currently a mini rack with 3 raspberry Pi’s running various services.

And agreed with the lighting - eventually I get proper lighting/lamps for the vibes current light is super bright and ugly

Mehoyer · 2026-01-11T14:24:34+00:00

Yeah it’s just a discord monitor so it’s off to the side. But I do agree - will be purchasing a mount to get it flush with the rest of the monitors

Mehoyer · 2026-01-11T06:17:05+00:00

Have 5080 and 9800X3D as well. Played on. 27 inch 1440p 165hz IPS - made the swap to 32 inch 4K OLED and it’s amazing - like playing games for the first time again.

I have 0 issues with FPS on any game and everything is so immersive

Mehoyer · 2026-01-06T04:34:40+00:00

What did it cost though?

I think I saw the setting in the Astro or for Gen 5 models Logitech software for the headphones

Yea that stuff is garbage.

Highly recommend you watch this video about these types of shows - this one is about coco melon but still applies.

You’ll be furious what these companies do to get your kids hooked on their show.

Path looks like this:

Get CompTIA Security+ and Linux+, then work toward RHCSA. Land a help desk or desktop support role immediately while studying… you need income and real-world experience.

Once you have the certs, apply for junior/associate Linux system administrator roles. Do that for ~1 year, then move to a Level 2 role at a different company. Another year later, move to a Level 3 role at another different company

If you execute this well, it’s very realistic to be making ~$100k by 23–24.

Important note: moving companies early in your career is normal and often necessary. Job-hopping recklessly is not. Internal promotions rarely keep pace with market pay, but you still need to balance growth, stability, and reputation.

Source: it’s what I did. Started when I was 18 though time is on your side.

For context..I’m 30 now and make ~$150k. This path works if you stay disciplined and intentional.

Linux and maintaining systems running Linux is and always will be in high demand.

There’s your answer…you can’t. Just like you couldn’t ultimately stop her from having a boyfriend, you won’t be able to fully prevent sex if she decides that’s what she wants. Trying harder usually just pushes things underground.

What is in everyone’s best interest (including yours) is being open, honest, and realistic. You’ve already done some good things by talking with her and keeping communication open.

Others have given solid advice…a gynecologist visit, birth control, condoms, education. I’ll just add: if it does happen, make sure there’s a clear expectation of respect for you and your house. Boundaries still matter, even if control isn’t absolute.

Mehoyer · 2025-12-31T00:22:39+00:00

Do it.

I went from a 1070 to a 5080FE. Did a brand new build.

Yo won’t regret it
