I had an eventful Thursday night when I found out my only computer with a GPU had a conflicting linux kernel and nvidia driver version.

Well to be accurate, I had an eventful Thursday night when I found out that the nvidia drivers weren't loading. Hours later when I found out the source of the issue it was just a sleepy, annoyed night.

I mean, it doesn't take that long to install W10 though? What did you spend the rest of the time doing?

dhcpv6 is a hosed up mess and the actual useful v6 autoconfig protocols (rd, nd) were not well supported in linux until like five minutes ago

try updating the firmware

Yeah, firmware is current but apparently there are grumblings that it actually worked on older revs and then they broke it with a more current release. The whole thing should be native slaac and apparently from what I can see in the documentation their DHCPv6 option actually means slaac first then dhcpv6 as a failback. Which is what it seems to be doing, because the /64 is getting doled out the the lan. I just can't get it routed anywhere.

if it makes you feel any better getting v6 working on my home equipment was also a nightmare

and then once i actually got it working i discovered browsing the internet is horrendously slow because ipv6 has terrible routing for most v6-enabled domains

so i ended up disabling ipv6 anyway

the nating chokes throughput on gigabit fiber on every piece of home-grade gear I have ever seen even with cut through forwarding. Route those same packets without the nat over native v6 and you're pretty much at lan speeds in terms of cpu overhead. Any home router is going to have a default deny inbound rule for v6 traffic to keep the network boundary, but my company has over a half-million public ips to work with so I'm used to not seeing private ip space

this is why i bought a ubnt doohickey to act as my home router

the firmware situation is very frustrating but it was cheap and it happily routes and nats at line speed

Let's say I have three monitors: a 24" 16:10, 21.5" 75Hz, and an old 1280x1024. The 24" 16:10 is obviously the primary monitor, the 21.5" is a gaming monitor, and the 1280 is there for terminal windows and hooking up to Pis.

Is there a way to force games to launch on the 21.5" screen? Like an affinity setting or something? This seems like a dumb question that of course should be easy to do but I can't actually figure it out.

hey why the gently caress would a user in the Local Administrators group not have file permissions to do something but BUILTIN\Administrator would

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
as far as i understand it BUILTIN\Administrator and BUILTIN\Administrators are treated specially by UAC.

Administrator (the user) always runs with max privileges. Anything you do, like running explorer.exe, runs with the maximum admin context and thus you can access anything that administrators can access.

For everyone else in the Administrators group, its different. They run in a reduced privilege mode most of the time and then require elevation to do admin stuff. Thats the UAC prompt.

When a member of the administrators group runs explorer, they're running it without that special admin token so they cant access stuff that the Administrators group has privileges on. If you were to elevate explorer.exe to run with admin creds you'd get your token and be able to access that stuff. However, Microsoft tries to prevent this and afaik it doesn't work.

So what will happen is you get a permission denied message and then a prompt to grant yourself privs. If you do that it will elevate via UAC, get your admin context, grant your specific user access, and then de-elevate. Then when you try to access its with your normal user level account which now has the access you just granted it.

There are a few ways to deal with it other than granting yourself specific access. You can access the folder via a network share. When you connect to a remote computer you bypass those UAC protections and go straight in with max privs. You can also create a different group (aka not BUILTIN\Administrators or another built in group) and give that group the access you want and then add your user to that group. Since its not a special group your normal user context will have that membership so you get access.

If its not a super-sensitive/important file or directory then you can also modify the acls to either give your specific account modify or full control which will get rid of the need to elevate, or grant the entire users group those privs if you're feeling lazy. But yeah, it's what shaggar said

Oh ok right local Administrators isn't "do anything" it's "can elevate"

good news: a blind mule could pass network+ just by mashing buttons with his nose. you're not going to have any problems there

bad news: for related reasons, network+ is completely worthless as a credential
