no clue about how the boot is structured on windows but on LINUX you’d need the UUID to be correct which would be different on a diff hard drive. I can’t imagine it would be different on windows. seems like it would be as simple as mounting the cloned drive changing directory to the boot folder (probably EFI/Microsoft/Boot) and running “bootrec /fixboot”

but maybe not I dunno I barely know anything about computers tbh

I think you can just do repair install from a usb windows install too tho

windows also needs the right storage driver otherwise you get INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE, and it is possible to install a new one in a offline windows instllation but i havent done that for anything past xp

the linux equivalent of this is "need to rebuild the initrd with the right storage driver module" which i had do to when moving a centos install from one machine to another a very long time ago

hard reseting them would probably lead to my death as their all on like the icy roof and poo poo

plus the ones I can connect to remotely have no names or anything (even in the source code); other than what I can find from the MAC address but I do get cool pictures like this



Thanks Wish and Alibaba $10 wifi home security cameras!


and playing with Wireshark for the past hour, I think I'm too dumb for it, I thought it'd need to be in front of a tap or something to capture data from other devices on the LAN other than the one I installed Wireshark on (other than broadcast data?) With the tomato router I set up years ago it was pretty much exactly what I wanted, was just curious if there was a new method (like with a pi or something).

Anyway thanks for the info Ill look deeper in it

Yeah I tried bootrec and repair install and all that poo poo and it absolutely refused to work

i think the problem now is that uefi needs and "EFI system partition" with the windows boot loader, which mbr2gpt does not make
its dumb i know, but when you make sure everything is efi native it all works better than legacy booting

Yeah I ended up just buying a regular 2.5" ssd and cloning the drive to that and it worked perfectly

I can't imagine the speed increase between a 2.5" ssd and an m.2 being worth that much aggravation. I seriously was at it for like five loving hours trying to get it to boot. What a waste of an afternoon

the brute force solution is to throw a system with two NICs in between the router and the switch, make the NICs a bridge, and then point Wireshark at the bridge

My parents have like 8 dog cams (all diff brands of course!) and the router provided by the ISP doesn't differentiate where bandwidth is coming from

What's the semi-cheapest type tomato type router I can setup in front of the router to figure out what IOT is compromised (it's sending like at least 100gb/day, I remember using tomato a while ago for a dif purpose; but that was years ago -- is there some raspberry pi I can use or what not to see what's causing all the bandwidth usage? They started getting calls from the ISP so they called me to come fix it.
)
I've tried some software ones (Capsa?) which didn't really do much. Im sure theres a better method these days than installing Tomato on a WRT-54g or whatever it was back in the day.


The cam's are all in high places and stuff so unplugging them one by one trying to figure it out seems like more effort than throwing in a tomato style router in front of the ISP router (plus it'll let me see wtf is going on with alot of connection drops they complain about)


for example in 2hours, with literally nothing going on (2am):

WAN Receiving 42.04G Bytes
WAN Sending 2.53G Bytes
Private LAN IP Address 192.168.1.1/24
LAN Receiving 2.56G Bytes
LAN Sending 41.40G Bytes

I've changed passwords/ssid/etc but still happening so ya that isn't really an option here

Thanks!

Get a power meter to see which one is drawing the most.
Or, get a thermal cam to see which one is hottest.

Eh, you can just arp spoof the mac addresses to pull the traffic towards you.

Is there a way to set up Steam Remote Play if you can't access the host computer's console? I'm out of town and discovered Remote Play but I can't access the console in order to accept the dialog prompt to allow remote input. I can RDP to the system but the prompt is on the console so I can't accept it that way. Is there a way to interact with the prompt via Powershell or anything?

e: The solution was TeamViewer unattended access.

i’m in need of a yospos approved wifi router that won’t break the bank. i don’t want to deal with a mesh setup for this one story house. just something with a strong as hell radio for decent coverage.

the isp supplied router just sucks and i’ve tried 3 different extenders and they’re all flaky as hell in their own different ways. i just want a big dumb loud router.

the only kind of extender that works without any “actually,” is a wlan repeater with ethernet connection to your wireless router

yeah, ironically i was using a wrt54gl for this. i just don’t like having the wires, and extra ugly router. this house isn’t massive when it comes to square footage, so i figured that there’s some more powerful router that can cover the whole place without any trouble.

it’s a bit pricey, but at work we used ubiquiti uap ac pro antennas - 2 were enough to maintain optimal connectivity for 25 users in a 3000 sqft space

idk about “won’t break the bank” but the dream machine is fine, routes a gigglebit no sweat, radio good, and if you do want more hardwired stations it’ll admin them fine

i just wanted to share that i was about to make a post for router recs because i thought my router was flaky. it turns out charter/spectrum is so half backwards on their ipv6 rollout here that it was just failing half my requests silently

silently after 6 months of functioning fine. nothing changed in my setup in that time. i started seeing various issues with connecting before something would find an alternate route but never so bad as to fully break my connection

i get no audio from The Witcher 3 when using the Realtek drivers that cane with my laptop...but after totally uninstalling the Realtek stuff, Windows reverted to some generic audio drivers and now the game works fine.

What gives? Is there any benefit to using the Realtek software is the stock Windows drivers seem to work fine?

the benefit is your sound doesn’t work, so if that’s what you want then go for it I guess
