The main settings that I mentioned are under integration services settings on the VM. There’s probably plenty of guides available on YouTube for Hyper-V along with the official Microsoft documentation (which probably isn’t that great).
Hyper-V is the hypervisor that the VM runs on. Yeah I don’t really know which malware scanners are the go to ones anymore. Just figure if I can get it to pass through 2 different ones ok then it’s probably ok. I’m sure there’s some other good ones out there. I’ve heard of ESET and virustotal, but I’m not familiar.
I use Hyper-V because I run server 2022 and it’s free. Hyper-V allows you to disable any host resource sharing in the VM settings.
On my sandbox VM I’ll scan the files then install and scan, then run the software and scan. I use both defender and I think malwarebytes. It’s a lot of extra work for no gain, but I’d rather be too careful than risk installing malware.
This is what I do. I have a VM for torrents and a VM sandbox to check stuff that I’m concerned about. At the host level I disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, no sharing disks, nothing. The VM only gets the storage I assign to it and once I validate then I’ll detach and mount it to the host.
I caved for the pro. I just carry a cheap Kershaw right now. Would be nice to have something light with multiple tools.
Check out Hacksmith’s new Smith blade.
New isekais coming out daily, it’s out of hand.
Vaping blew up around 2010 and gradually increased in popularity until all of the Juul controversies happened. Since all of the laws passed to restrict it more, it is now easier to get a non-reusable piece of ewaste than reusable and refillable stuff.
I just wrote a PowerShell script to do this for my pictures comparing file names and sizes. Should be able to find something similar with a search. Might not work for what you’re looking for unless they were exact copies though.
When people block aisles at the grocery store and you say “excuse me”, but they act like they don’t hear you and don’t move. It’s literally just you and them in the aisle, they don’t need to have their cart in the middle of the aisle while they stand next to it. There’s enough room for 2 people and their carts to fit in an aisle.
Which service are you using for this?
Me: I’m in IT (trying to keep it simple)
Them: OK, but what do you do in IT?
Me: I’m a system administrator (again trying to keep it simple)
Them: I don’t know what that means. What does a system administrator do?
Me: I work on servers (again, trying to keep it simple)
Them: What’s a server?
Me: I’m in IT…
Which is why I’m now questioning why I even bought them to begin with. Any time a security flaw is found I need to spend another $50-60. Seem crazy and wasteful.
Rhymes with smunderpaid twerkers and flavory.
I really need to do a test restore. I’ve been backing my NAS up to B2 for about a year now and haven’t done one yet.
I can hear the commercial in my head…
I mean it was always normal for me, I also dip them in ranch and have been looked at weird for that too. Idk man. I got downvoted for answering the question haha.
I’ve been looked at weirdly for dipping pretzels in mustard.
