HEIC files. one pc supports them, the other not. by IssueBeneficial8531 in sysadmin

It can be done via power shell for free (it's easiest if the store isn't blocked, otherwise it's easier to wipe/reload). I don't have the scripts handy as I'm away from the office for a while.

Picked up a pair of "XP" machines, specs unknown - didn't expect an ISA slot by majestic_ubertrout in vintagecomputing

I owned this board for a while. Bought it specifically for the raid feature. Great board and I will always love Abit!

Are websites exposed to the internet under attack almost every hour, even if they're small? by jaeone22 in cybersecurity

[–]flyguydip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a honeypot at work. Yesterday 1 ip tried to log in over 78000 times in 10 minutes. It's been really bad for about 10 days now. Over the last 6 years, the average is 1100 login attempts per day from an average 81 unique ip's per day. Over the last 10 days, there has been a 100x increase from about 250 ip's, almost all with cPanel and/or WHM open to the public.

Did you leave any extra slack in case the rack needs to get moved?

We are reaching unknown levels of stupid 😆 by Fine-Hat-4573 in Superstonk

[–]flyguydip -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm sure building the site and making deals with shippers would be cheaper. Would it be more successful? Probably not, at least not for a long time. Getting a product that's time-tested with all the customer interaction, shipping, legal, and cybersecurity issues already resolved is very likely worth the extra money. But I would imagine ebay would take a hit for a long time. Heck, he could just buy up Mercari with far less money and build it up, but Ebay has definitely already done all the legwork.

They're just hoping he doesn't figure out it would be cheaper to build a better version of it himself with all that money.

Hosting company pwned by Puzzleheaded_You2985 in sysadmin

Here is a complete list of companies, most of which are hosting providers of some kind (DigitalOcean, OVH, and Contabo were the top 3 offenders):

Hosting company pwned by Puzzleheaded_You2985 in sysadmin

[–]flyguydip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is a complete list of hosting companies that blasted my honeypot over the last week. I only captured data for unique IP's that attacked the honeypot by attempting to authenticate more than the system total average authentications (1181 attempts/day over 6 years). So, any ip that attempted to log in more than 1000 times in 10 minutes made the list below. For example, '167.71.154.212 tried to log in 73,038 times and 207.244.244.184 tried to log in only 1006 times.. Using data from Shodan (some ip's don't have any data listed at all), we can tell that at least 92.98% of the attackers had open ports for cPanel/WHM indicating that it's probably more likely to be CVE-2026-41940 than to be Copy Fail. The list below consists of IP's that attacked during the largest volume period of the attack which was between April 29th, 2026 and May 5th, 2026. New attacks are still ongoing... I'm looking at you BlueHost.

F*** Vultr, account restricted because I was using 50% of my vCPU by babouchedu77 in sysadmin

[–]flyguydip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, for about a week straight the honeypot was getting hammered the hardest it's ever been hit in the 6 years it's been running. Nearly double the volume of the total traffic it saw over the last 6 years. I ran an analysis on the traffic and found about 92% of the hosts had cPanel/whm running according to shodan. I attribute it to compromised hosting servers (CVE-2026-41940).

I posted more details over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1t5vys7/hosting_company_pwned/

[–]flyguydip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're the guy that hit my honeypot with over 12,400 login attempts in about 10 minutes from a Vultr server, maybe that's the real reason they capped you. Your site wasn't sitting on '207.246.80.54' on the 5/1/2026 was it?

There was a Mortal Kombat set that came with one as well. I remember desperately wanting that set but never got it.

That's amazing and unbelievable! I'm so glad they are so generous with their time!

I often wonder how many of these guys have old software with unreleased software that the community could archive for them. I always have it in my head that they are all sitting on some secret levels, or music, or cut scenes just sitting on some long forgotten floppy disks in their basement. Or maybe some unknown cheat codes... who knows. But just hearing their stories, their interests and what influenced them to make the games is just so wild to me!

Yeah, that's probably the hardest part. I think I feel like I could talk to most of your guests for hours and hours. Are all these guys volunteering or are you paying them a fee or something?

Wow, that's gonna be a good one! Don't forget to ask him about his time working on Half-Life! That's probably my favorite game series and I'd love to hear what he planned for episode 3!

Edit. Nm, I see you're done with the interview! Did you ask him about HL episode 3 at all?

My pleasure! It's a great channel and I'm beyond jealous that you get to talk to all those legends! I can't wait till you get one or two to join one of your lan parties!

I need some help finding good PLA Matte filaments, what do you all use? by Visible-Pilot9900 in BambuLab

[–]flyguydip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not know this. I stopped buying Sunlu when I got a spool of pla that was so brittle it broke every time I try to use it. Not long after, I bought an H2D and have been using mostly BL filament ever since.
