I am looking at migrating a Windows server (Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard) and I am wondering if there is some way to learn what files are being read. I know the operating system…

I need to know what people are doing recently because most of the documentation I'm finding online is from 3-5 years ago and I want the most up-to-date information.

It's just bigger than any amount I've ever dealt with in my whole life (I'm 30) and also it's hard to find solutions to manage it without running into bandwidth caps and also thing…

This is for a "warm" backup as opposed to a hot backup so restoration timeline would be like seven days.

I'm talking about greater than 5 TB in size. Rclone looks really good because I can just give it a bandwidth limit, point it at google drive and fire and forget. But I'm curious if…

So to make a very long story short, at my job we are using Storage Replica to replicate two servers that are sitting right next to each other: one server is a mirror of the other a…

I am only trying to ensure the data on the local system is the same as the data on the server. There is no adversary in the middle modifying data; so this is strictly about detecti…

So I have an SFTP server [Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 6.8.0-55-generic x86_64)] and an SFTP client (Windows 11): the client downloads files from the SFTP server. I had an idea to…

I DO I HAVE 3 3 IS MORE THAN 1

Do you make it like a fun game? Like when me and my friends in school would pass eachother coded notes and the cipher was an inside joke? I'm genuinely curious: what was the pitch …

Do you exclusively use signal? Do your friends also use signal? Do you have friends who only use signal to communucate with you?

When people would rather use crypto than their national currency, that is an indictment of the currency, not an endorsement of crypto.

Windows licensing is really complicated: I never know how much it's going to cost, how long it's going to take, for example, to install Windows 11 Pro on 80 different computers. Or…

Task Scheduler is available on Windows 10 Home. I think of it as "cron for Windows" even though despite being able to schedule the execution of specific tasks, it is really nothing…

Windows licensing is the hardest part of my job. Like if I want to have thin clients running Windows 11 VMs hosted on Windows Server 2022, how do I pay Microsoft so they will let m…

I administer a Windows domain at my job that I do 40 hours a week so your assessment of me is just wrong and also offensive. I just restarted one of the workstations with Teams sta…

In Windows you can use the task manager to configure what programs are started with your computer.

I just don't have a personal computer. I just use other people's computers. Accept all cookies. Honestly if advertisers can figure out how to track me across multiple browsers on m…

>this should be core OS GUI functionality Be careful. This is how distros start.

And as a network admin I am pushing to have all of our office computers replaced with thin clients, and centralizing all of our compute resources on a single machine that is probab…

I don't know if anyone who worked on this project is going to read this but if you are: good job! This looked like it was really hard.

Keep in mind that was over 60 years ago. Computers now have much more CPU and storage space and ethernet bandwidth is also much bigger (currently hundreds of gigabits per second) a…
