Ob @bnd angesichts des #Trump - #Regimes und dessen Aktionen [gegen den #IStGH] und der #cyberfaschistisch|en Macht qua #CloudAct endlich Alarm schlägt was #GAFAM-Produkte oder generell #Technologie aus den #USA, besonders aber #Microsoft Produkte wie #Windows, #MicrosoftOffice & #WindowsServer angeht?

Und da ich nunmal #Bürger dieses Landes bin wird dies leider auch mein Problem - entgegen aller Warnungen meinerseits!

  • Was hindert die #US-Regierung daran Deutschland, die #EU oder den Rest der Welt mittels entsprechender Produkte in #Geiselhaft zu nehmen?

Oder ist jene #Abhängigkeit von der Laune und dem Guten Willen aus D.C. gar politisch gewollt?

I have been using #WindowsServer Core as a development VM, because I need to test my program for Windows users. I know this isn't recommended, because Server Core doesn't have much of a GUI, and is missing a lot of GUI-related libraries, so some stuff doesn't work right, however, VSCode (and Visual Studio) work just fine, and I've been getting by with Powershell, 7zfm, Retrobar (substitute taskbar), and Floorp (Firefox mod). The GTK version of #VICEEmulator doesn't work, so I've been using the SDL2 one.

I think I like this in some ways more than using actual Windows. It's definitely lightweight. I wish that it had DirectX support so I could try running games with it

@Saupreiss Klar, nur bietet #Microsoft nichtmals ansatzweise die Menge an #Support und #Assurance an die #Linux Distros wie #RHEL (Workstation), #SLES / #SLED, #UbuntuLTS und #OracleLinux abmnbieten obwohl #Windows und besonders #WindowsServer deutlich teurer durchzulizensieren ist.

Außerdem ist das komplette "#Antimalware" / "#Antivirus" - Business doch einfach nur #Scareware die auf kongnitive Dissonanz abzielt weil Leute die #WindowsDefender misstrauen nicht gleich die #Govware namens Windows mit enstorgen!

Windows Server Domain Controller Out-of-band (OOB) updates have been released for some versions of Windows today, March 22, 2024, to addresses this issue related to a memory leak in the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS).

This occurs when on-premises and cloud-based Active Directory domain controllers service Kerberos authentication requests.

Microsoft is bringing the Linux sudo command to Windows Server

Microsoft is bringing the Linux 'sudo' feature to Windows Server 2025, offering a new way for admins to elevate privileges for console applications.

Superuser do, or sudo, is a Linux console program that allows low-privileged users to execute a command with elevated privileges, usually as root.

This command offers increased security in Linux as servers can be used normally under low-privileged accounts while still allowing users to elevate their privileges as needed when running specific commands.

October Windows Server updates cause Hyper-V VM boot issues

According to customer reports, this month's Patch Tuesday updates are breaking virtual machines on Hyper-V hosts, causing them to no longer boot and display "failed to start" errors.

According to complaints from Windows admins, the issue is triggered after installing KB5031361 and KB5031364 on Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022 systems.

A Microsoft spokesperson told BleepingComputer that the company is aware of the issue and is investigating.

The following errors will be logged to the event viewer when trying to start a VM on an affected Hyper-V system:

Failed to start virtual machine TOOLS. Error: 'TOOLS' failed to start.
Failed to Power on with Error 'Incorrect function.'
Failed to open attachment 'vhdx_path'. Error: 'Incorrect function.'

Administrators with impacted devices have noted that uninstalling the problematic updates resolves the issue, allowing all virtual machines (VMs) to start up without any problems.

New at Forbes: CISA adds four zero-days, three Microsoft (Windows/Windows Server and Office) and one Apple (iOS) to 'The Kev' as Ian Thornton-Trump (of beer farmers fame) calls it.

Both Ian and Tim Mackey explain why it's not just mandated federal agencies that should consider this an urgent call to action.

ForbesWindows And iOS Security Updates Get Serious—You Have 3 Weeks To Comply, CISA WarnsBy Davey Winder

Introduction

Redoing my #introduction as it was a bit of a sparse one when I joined.

I am a lifelong #technology enthusiast, having worked in Financial Services IT for more than 25 years, across multiple disciplines including:
* #Unisys #MCP-based #mainframe platforms (A17/A19/HMP NX 6800/Libra 180/Libra 6xx/Libra 890)
* #EMC #Symmetrix storage arrays (DMX 3/4 and most recently VMAX) including experience of #SRDF(S), SRDF(A), BCV
* #WindowsServer (2000 through 2019) including #ActiveDirectory
* Various #Linux/ #Unix OSes (#HPUX/ #RHEL/ #Centos/ #Ubuntu/ #Raspbian) including experience of #GFS/#GFS2 SAN storage clustering
* Virtual Tape Server technology (B&L/Crossroads/ETI Net SPHiNX, #TSM)
* Automation/Scripting (#PowerShell, #NT #Batch, #DOS, #Bash, #OPAL)
* #Security (#PrivilegedAccessManagement, #LeastPrivilege, #IAM, #Firewalls, #EDR)
* #BusinessContinuity/#DisasterRecovery (Design/Implementation/Operations)

I’m focused on learning and getting hands-on with #RaspberryPi at home and #cloud computing solutions both at work and at home.

I moved into a #SecurityEngineering role in 2020, so a lot of my focus is now more security focussed across all tech stacks.

My main focus at present when it comes to cloud is predominately #Microsoft #Azure, with Google and AWS of interest also, as well as other cloud infrastructure services such as those provided by CloudFlare, though I’m planning a move away from them due to their moral/ethical choices.

Away from work and tech, I love to #travel the world with my wife and enjoy very amateur #photography to record our adventures.

I also love most genres of #music, live in concert when I can, with a particular love of #Rock/ #Metal and also #Trance (coincidentally, given the profession of a somewhat more well known namesake of mine!).
