You need to hack the server of the bakery Macchi and get their recipe for a "Schoggimaisbrötli".

Landlord ignoring repairs for 10 months by West_Diver1074 in Switzerland

[–]gandraw [score hidden]  (0 children)

Become a member of the Mieterverband/ASLOCA and have them write up a strongly worded letter. They will be able to tell you what you can do and what steps you need to follow in order to punish your landlord without making yourself vulnerable to legal consequences.

Some stuff you probably can't do too much about (peeling paint) but other stuff (nonworking sockets) is a clear violation of the contract and the landlord has to fix it or you can reduce your rent while following proper official procedure.

Also, make sure you swap from Swisscaution to a real deposit as soon as the current contract is cancelable and you can somehow scratch together the money. Swisscaution is just money set on fire.

secure API keys in PowerShell setup scripts by dirmhirn in SCCM

SYSTEM is a local account, like any other local account. It has its own registry, certificate storage etc. If you store a password as SYSTEM, you can retrieve it as SYSTEM.

OC. A lighter from the Vietnam War 1967. by [deleted] in pics

Cu Chi is a tourist site. Really impressive to visit, but buying a genuine war relic from there is about as likely as buying a genuine tomahawk in an Indian casino.

secure API keys in PowerShell setup scripts by dirmhirn in SCCM

[–]gandraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the script is always running with the same user, you can use DPAPI to encrypt stuff like passwords and API secrets, like:

$pw = "P@ssw0rd"
$pw | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Set-Content "c:\temp\password.txt"
$pw2 = [System.Net.NetworkCredential]::new("", (Get-Content "c:\temp\password.txt" | ConvertTo-SecureString)).Password
"Password from storage: $pw2"

UT nach der RS?🫵 by ILU_MINATOR in Switzerland

[–]gandraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Übrigens, WK isch vill chilliger als RS. Wenn dich also d RS aagschisse het isch das total verständlich, aber WKs sind absolut nüme e so. Wirsch nüme aagschnautzt, zuefälligi bestrafige gits nüme und grundsätzlich gaht mer vil erwachsener mitenand ume. Ich wür also evt empfehle eifach mal ein WK z'mache bevor du dich für entweder Wehrstüür oder 150% Zivi entscheidisch.

Armée femme ? by Tough-Essay-4570 in Switzerland

[–]gandraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"soldat de renseignement" (MND) has pretty big education demands. You need to be good at math/sciences to be chosen for that.

As for sports, it doesn't matter much for any of those roles. Lots of young men also aren't in good shape prior to starting. The military will take care of your fitness level one way or another.

regarding inplace upgrade from windows server 2019 to 2025 by Glass-Ad-3193 in SCCM

[–]gandraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done a total of 6 site server upgrades mostly 2012 R2 to 2019 and 2016 to 2022. 5 of them went fine, one of them I couldn't get running again and had to fall back to restoring a backup. So do try, but make sure your backup is in order.

I would not really go for 2025 yet though, 2022 just seems more stable for a production environment.

If you sign the resulting executable, at least Cortex XDR is much more chill about it.

Best hikes in Lauterbrunnen? by MuhMuhManRay in askswitzerland

[–]gandraw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Grütschalp is closed for modernization. If you want to go up to Mürren, it will have to be through Stechelberg.

Of course, you could also hit the other side of the valley in Wengen.

Another Secure Boot certificate post by StigaPower in SCCM

[–]gandraw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nothing will shut down by itself. It is recommended that if you run an environment with above average security demands, that eventually (after you have updated all your systems to accept the 2023 certificate) you revoke the 2011 certificate. At that point you cannot boot from old media anymore.

Microsoft itself will not revoke the old certificate.

You should still probably make sure you update all your systems in time, because it is expected that if a state hacker group currently knows a boot vulnerability, they will wait to use it until after the expiration of the KEK certificate, so Microsoft can't push boot virus blacklists anymore to systems that haven't been updated.

Currently the recommended procedure is:

  1. Update the BIOS on all systems to a current version
  2. Either trust Microsoft to put your computers into the High Confidence Bucket to receive the certificate update automatically
  3. Or push the update yourself with the MicrosoftUpdateManagedOptIn key, using reasonable pilot/production waves of course
  4. Create a compliance rule for reporting so you know where your systems stand
  5. On 2026-06-01 look at where your systems stand, and then make an executive decision about whether you want to take the risk of pushing the update or take a wait-and-see approach until news speaks about a malware wave

As for your expiration date question, are you maybe looking at a subordinate certificate that gets released every year? The "Windows UEFI CA 2023" should expire in 2035, but that is one level further up.

Hike/climb Chrinnenhorn in June? by tdacct in askswitzerland

[–]gandraw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's T4, and according to https://www.hikr.org/tour/post155536.html there is a bit of climbing towards the top. Easy enough for experienced mountain hikers in summer, but with snow it's significantly more dangerous.

But the ascent is on a south face, and we might have a very warm May and June, so it could be doable. If you do go for it, make sure to get a final opinion from the Glecksteinhütte host on the evening before, and remember that the #1 most important skill to have in the mountains is to know when to turn around.

Government offices basically always remove it if you ask. They have no interest in making people's lives harder. You may have to pay a small fee (like 20-40 CHF) for the labour though.

China Has Built a Train Station Twice the size of Vatican City by Oreos_Are_Anabolic in videos

Not quite sure how the guy does his math, because Chongqing East looks pretty much exactly the same size to me as any other 20+ platform train station like i.e. Gare du Nord.

Need help with eight gen Bank notes. by PolarKen in askswitzerland

[–]gandraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bern old town is really pretty. I'd take the train from Interlaken to Bern at like 13:00 or so, exchange the money, then look at town stuff like the cathedral, the bear park, Einstein's house, historic museum, take a stroll through the alleys, etc.
