Ever heard of ksplice?

It was developed by Ksplice, Inc. until 21 July 2011, when Oracle acquired Ksplice and started offering support for Oracle Linux.

The NetRunner approach -- my ice doesn't have to be enough to actually stop the runner. Just enough to make it too expensive for him to break into the fort before I can complete my agenda.

Because honestly what i'd do against a focused attack is just offline the databanks under attack, quarrantine them, and forensically examine them after the attack was dealt with to determine if they are compromised or not. if they're not i'll purge them in favor of the databank i restored from backup, if they are compromised i'll use that data to improve my ice and then purge it in favor of the one i restored from backup.
and i'll punch anyone in the nose who tries to break my ice while crying "i'm hacking the gibson!" because really?!

that and only allowing public key authentication for SSH.
and a healthy dose of paranoia monitoring scripts to make sure everything is as i expect it to be....... Because it's only insane paranoia if they aren't really all out to get you. and because they are all really out to get me this is perfectly rational normal people paranoia.

Looks like it's here now. The excitement.
Yep.
And the first impression is Microsoft telling me to use Edge, Office 365 and Windows Store. Nope, nope and nope. Also, "There's many new features in Windows 10 - start here.", listing three features that's been in W10 since release pretty much.

Two of the three predate Windows 10.

There's actually a useful new feature that I didn't see anyone mention:

It's official: MS is using the Apple definition of 'new'
-
@RaceProUK The Apple definition is "someone else did it before, but we've invented it". Microsoft's is just "we did it before but forgot".

Is this Windows update stable? Because I am doing a reinstall Saturday (256gb SSD to 512gb SSD)

just copy the partitions over and then resize them
-
@TimeBandit Somebody thought it was a good idea to delete everything out of the hidden directory called C:\ProgramData and break their start menu entirely, all their file associations, office and Visual Studio.
-
@TimeBandit How can I copy partitions the last time I tried that shit I was using a pirate Partition Magic.
-
@lucas1 I've used EaseUS Todo. The free version is functional
-
@bb36e It takes me about 20 minutes to do a fresh install an another hour to get most stuff working. I don't think I can be bothered copying the partitions. Also considering my windows installation is broken because someone i.e. me thought he knew better than Windows itself broke half of the installation.
I can't even find paint of notepad in the start menu.

LOL. I created a new VM image with it. And there is a cumulative update waiting... Not even released and we have patches... (and I forgot my much fucking crap is installed. yeah, I really want minecraft)
-
I just finished the update. Surprisingly, only 3 privacy-related settings were changed without my consent. The rest remained unchanged, probably because I used group policies to enforce them whenever I could. Compared to Android, that's almost acceptable.

Craters Pupdate was finalized on March 19, but apparently they've continued to work on more pupdates.
"The Creators Update itself is build 15063.0, but there will be a small Cumulative Update delivered on April 11. Previews of this patch have been rolled out to insiders, with the fast ring Insiders on 15063.14 and slow ring Insiders on 15063.13. Using the Update Assistant or Media Creation Tool appears to also update to 15063.13. This situation may well change by the actual release day next week."

I decided to do a reformat and clean install, and the experience is quite different. For starters, they detect if you are trying to install over an existing installation that has the upgrade queued:
Secondly, Cortana now guides you through the setup process in a small window with background borders that take up half the screen. She tries to speak to you (though the output device she selected was my microphone ) and will even try to listen to your verbal responses if you don't want to touch your mouse or keyboard (though you can turn off both of these features and just stick to following her text on the screen).
Also, I discovered the hard way that AMD Drivers should be installed while you are disconnected from the internet, otherwise Windows tries to 'help' the installation process, and as a result, freeezes up the entire system during installation. So I got to see Cortana's text twice. Also for some reason I cannot use Safe Mode with Networking - it just freezes at the boot screen. If anyone knows common causes of that on a clean install, let me know.
The Control Panel option is gone from the right click menu on the start button, and instead in the new modern Settings app there are links along the right side to the various dialogs that used to be accessible via the Control Panel. You can also just search and the search results will also link you tot he dialogs sometimes. There are a lot of new features and options in the Settings app, so I recommend you give it a good once-over to find everything.
Even though part of the installation process is to check for updates, you will have to install updates immediately after the clean install.
Also, you'll probably want to check this out if you normally use f.lux:
I've yet to try out the regular upgrade process on the other computer in the house - will edit this post if anything particularly interesting comes of that.

With Wondows, that's not necessarily a bad assumption. Especially Wondows 10.
-
@LB_ Another interesting thing if you do everything the right way and set up an admin account, then log in with a Microsoft account as a user: All your user folders are mapped to Onedrive. Some programs can't deal with that and do dumb hacky things, and anything you run as admin will have different settings. It was interesting to finally use it correctly.
Too bad half the games I launch from Steam want admin access to patch, but don't request it and just crash unless Steam is run as admin.
-
@Magus ah yeah after I move my user folders somewhere else I have to create symlinks at the original locations so misbehaving applications don't try to recreate the folders there.
-
I had my update yesterday. Went out to pick up some dinner leaving a VS session in debug, ngrok open and some work.

I'm buttuming Windows Update uses the system temp though, which is my main concern.
I think it actually uses its own temp, but yeah, it'll be on the system drive.
WU uses env vars. I'm 100% sure of it. I know it because I've once changed it when messing with a clean install, while the initial batch of 300 updates was downloading. The first 200 of them failed to install, but worked on retry.

It stores temporary files in environment variables?

Still haven't installed this due to raisins, but from some conversations on Discord yesterday the touted "mini view" only works in some applications, notably "TV and Movies" and, well..
In Opera Whateverthefuckversion+ hovering a video will give you this little overlay button thing (in this case, the green thing in the center top):
Clicking this will result in a separated video widget-y kind of thing that can be moved, resized, whatever. And yes, it's always on top as well (also, pinned to all desktops which... eh?):
So yeah... Goddamnit, even when it's the sucky Opera people still rip it off!
-
I've installed this twice in the last couple of days. Once on my main PC, because why not, and once on my FIL's laptop which he's dumped on me to sort some problems (Chrome disappeared, Amazon Music stopped working and the start menu stopped showing up). After trying a few basic things and discovering system restore points didn't work, I decided a Windows reset was probably the best way. Then was told that it would lose a bunch of installed programs that I didn't fancy re downloading and remembered that there was an update ready to go that would also be a Windows reinstall, so I downloaded that instead. All seems to be working fine now, so the craters pupdate is all good from my POV

Ditto. I've put it on 3 machines at home. Haven't done it at work yet because Enterprise. (The update-now program says "FuckYou Enterprise not supported")

As my laptop dual boots then Windows isn't usually idling waiting to catch some updates so I started to manually install it but then it took too long to even start and I remembered why I prefer the usual "update without me being involved" process for Windows 10 and stopped it. Ain't nobody got time for that.
-
Ubuntu on Windows has updated to 16.04 Xenial, which is nice as gcc goes from 4.8 -> 5.0 and other goodies.
-
I saw it in my update list last night, so it may have installed itself by the time I get home. That would be nice. I need to go check my laptop and get it there, though, since I'll be out for the weekend.

Shop towels. Basically the same concept as paper towels but MUCH heavier duty. And blue.
They're there to keep the input devices from becoming caked in oil. I'm sure the Model M wouldn't give a fuck, but being able to touch it with clean hands is a bonus.

Are your arms like 7 feet long? How do you use the keyboard while being able to look at the monitor?
