Comment on Another Scam… by Winner

Winner — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:27:08 +0000

What stood out to me is how simple the advice is: protect your passwords, don’t reuse them, and don’t trust random threats. These scams rely more on fear than actual hacking, and once you understand that, they lose a lot of their power.

Comment on WSL: Kali Linux within Windows by Mitch Garvis

Hi Victor. It’s great to hear from you! I confess I am not sure… I know that the IP address in the WSL instance is not even in the same subnet of the parent system, so I assume it is a virtual shuffling of some sort. I am not sure how it works, but it is probably VLANed somehow.

Have a great weekend!

Good morning Mitch,

It’s been awhile, but hi none the less. Mitch, can you tell me if this will provide the WSL instance the ability to natively work the NIC, so that we can see VLAN tagging on a trucked NIC ?

Thank you

Vic

Comment on Not Passing and Failing by Day 1276 – Losing a part of me

Day 1276 – Losing a part of me — Sat, 19 Jul 2025 15:10:41 +0000

[…] Yesterday was not a fun day. The day actually started quite normally as far as things go, but then it went bad. I started writing as I usually do at the usual time, but partway through the second paragraph of my article I realized that it would be an article much more appropriate to my professional blog rather than my weight loss blog, and before 1pm I had banged out 1800 words on certification exams that published on my blog as Not Passing and Failing.

Ah yes… but there was a time long ago when people would read my blog for answers, and not pick up their mouse and say ‘Hello Computer!’ 😉 Anyhow, thanks for reading 🙂

Copilot provides a nice breakdown of your PS cmdlet for us non-PS experts... The PowerShell cmdlet provided: $(get-item '.filename.ext').CreationTime = $(Get-Date "04/28/2025") does the following: get-item '.filename.ext': Retrieves the file object for filename.ext located in the current directory. $(...): Ensures the command inside is executed first and its result is used in the outer expression. .CreationTime = ...: Sets the CreationTime property of the file object. Get-Date "04/28/2025": Creates a DateTime object representing April 28, 2025. In summary: This command sets the creation time of the file filename.ext to April 28, 2025. df

Yeah… I only have to produce it… and write it, and film it, and make sure that everything is exactly right… and then publish, host, and market it. It’s a lot more work than you think.

Why not? You only need someone to Produce it and the Pizza. Just a stop short of the coffee (forget that idea).

Bump yourself up to a Vlog Mr. G. It would benefit you with your well rounded experience . . . and we'd all get to see and share them in Real Time. N'es pas? Intel's new CEO Out of the Box; Special Interest Group; What will Moore's Law have us buying in 2030? Alden C. Sheremata.
