    Windows XP and Windows 11 on one computer

    Windows 7 had XP Mode. Not sure if it works on 10 and/or 11 but worth investigating.

    Network time is grayed out

    Yep, that was the problem. I have no idea how it got uninstalled. Actually Nobu was right also. it was installing systemd-timesyncd is what got it working. I had to also set ntp to cloudflare ntp server via the cli.

    Network time is grayed out

    In trying to troubleshoot this problem I managed to kill my internet connection and had to use Timeshift to get it back. :( Below are a couple of screen shots that might provide a clue as to what the problem may be. TIA for any assistance you may offer. :)

    Just looked at a Watchbox M300 on eBay. 75w power consumption was a turnoff. :(

    How do you access a vlan from a computer that's not part of the vlan?

    Last one I looked at required a boat load of subscriptions to get the goodies. was totally turned off by it. maybe I'll take another look. Can you recommend one?

    How do you access a vlan from a computer that's not part of the vlan?

    Yes sir. Controlling which device has access to the Internet and which do not and blocking devices from accessing local resources yet allowing them Internet access are the two holy grails of networking for me. I hope to learn and understand both before I leave this Earthly plane.

    How do you access a vlan from a computer that's not part of the vlan?

    Yea, they're on a different subnet. I'll check out iptables, thanks.

    How do you access a vlan from a computer that's not part of the vlan?

    Thank you C&P for future reference. Ultimately I'd like to learn how to isolate a VLAN from the internet but allow it to access the lan. I have this sorta set up for my ip cams using a second NIC and a separate subnet for the cams. I can do this very easily in Windows but for some reason...

    Share your pfSense / OPNsense builds

    Sounds like overkill for an OPNSense box. What's your use case for 10G and 960G mirrored SSD's?

    Linux Suggestion

    Been using Mint Cinnamon for years. Tried all the others and always came back to Mint. It just works and does all I need an OS to do.

    Does Linux remember previous network share connections?

    Yea, I vaguely remember using fstab some time back and ran into serious issues when the share was no longer available. For my purposes, the connection to the share has to be dynamic, manual connect is OK if the details are stored but Linux pitching a fit when a share disappears is totally...

    Does Linux remember previous network share connections?

    I'm using the Connect to Server command in Nemo to connect to mainly Windows shares and it works well but even tho I check the remember password box it doesn't seem to remember anything. Is there a way to establish connections and have them remembered? Like Remmina does so from then on it's just...

    Yea, it's not going anywhere. It's all decked out and even includes a SM IPMI Daughter Card which works flawlessly. It's performance is acceptable but it's a power hog.

    Can Apple installed wallpaper be deleted?

    Yea, I did this and came with endless tons of bullshit that had nothing to do with the question. But if you'd like to provide a link I'd be most grateful. Also I'd like to add, just in case you missed it, APPLE INSTALLED WALLPAPER. Just so I'm clear to you, I know full well how to delete...

    Kernel confusion

    I'm on Mint 21.3 also but feel it's best to keep the kernel up to date, Now that I know you can have more than one kernel installed with only the latest active, hopefully I won't be confused in the future....unless I forget. :confused:

    Kernel confusion

    I posted the question over at the Mint forum and they said that I'm on 6.5 but I still have 5.15 installed but it'snot being used, 6.5 is. I can remove 5.15 and it will no longer show in my updates list. Sys Info says 6.5, even after installing 5.15. Switching back to Windows would be the...

    Kernel confusion

    Linux Mint Cinnamon. A couple of days ago it updated the kernel to 6.5.0-15-generic. today there's a kernel update to 5.15.0-92.102. Looks like a downgrade to me. Anybody know what's going on? Should I stick with what I have or install the "update" ? :confused: Google sucks worse and worse...

    Dual monitors problem

    I ended up using a second workspace for a second monitor, It's not ideal and it has it's own issues like if I have a web page open on the second workspace and click on a link in the first workspace it will switch to the second workspace and open the website on the browser instance already open...

    pfSense and DNS servers

    I tend to get as nerdy as I have to but no further. Pi-Hole works excellent right out the box, I've never felt the need tweak it. But then again, I may not know what I'm missing. :( OK. after a little research I added a few more lists from github. Thanks. (y)

    pfSense and DNS servers

    Thanks, yea, I like them both. I've been using OPNsense together with Pi-Hole for some time now. haven't had any issues or problems. OPNsense is running on a Dell Wyse 5070 Extended with a dual port Intel i350 NIC and Pi-Hole is running on a Wyse 3040. Both have been running 24/7 for months now.

    Pictures Of Your Dually Rigs!

    I have an ancient Supermicro 1U dually server with a X7DWU MB with a add in IPMI card, 2 E5474 CPU's, 32GB of RAM and 4 Seagate 300GB SAS 10K HD's. It servers no useful purpose but performs flawless. It's spends it's time in retirement doing nothing. It's a power hog and I might fire it up once...

    Windows 7/8 Product Key to install Windows 10 workaround - possibly no longer

    I've been using Mint for years and really don't like Windows anymore. I still keep a Windows box around for a couple of programs I need that are Windows only but most of the time it just sits and collects dust. The more you get to know Mint the more you like it.
