You’re right, these devices are end of life and hopefully not near critical infrastructure.

I’m so thankful for what Let’s Encrypt did for the internet.10 or 15 years ago it was as easy as installing an app to steal credentials from all other users on the local lan.

Certificates were expensive and complicated, and not many used them.

If i recall correctly, they opened up their offer to the general public in 2015.

It would make more sense for microsoft to partner with some hardware vendor and release a modified version of windows 11. With a nice mobile-optimized GUI, integration for the most popular game stores and an optional desktop mode.

If Microsoft really wants to get in the mobile gaming sector, why don’t they even have a working protoype to show? The article claims that it is still “a few years away” at this point.

Doesn’t sound like they really have high ambitions.

I like it :) Can you provide a link to the sensors you used?

You‘re supposed to host this yourself.

Set the DNS cache time to 60 seconds.

Set the script to run on every host delayed by some time to avoid simultaneously accessing the API (e.g. run the script every other minute).

With this approach, you get automatic failover in at most 3 minutes.

I’d host it on both webservers. The script sets the A record to all the servers that are online. Obviously, the script als has to check it’s own service.

It seems a little hacky though, for a business use case I would use another approach.

Your challenge is that you need a loadbalancer. By hosting the loadbalancer yourself (e.g. on a VPS), you could also host your websites directly there…

My approach would be DNS-based. You can have multiple DNS A records, and the client picks one of them. With a little script you could remove one of the A Records of that server goes down. This way, you wouldn’t need a central hardware.

No cure has been found yet for factorio.

I’ve started Cyberpunk 2077 recently. Runs pretty flawlessly now with patch 2.x, I’m glad that I waited a few years

At least for me, I’ve solved quite a lot of problems on my way home from work.

That’s a truely unusual way. Why not set it up on a raspberry pi?

This seems like a huge win for Microsoft

I absolutely expect vendors to push out new patterns automatically and as fast as possible.

But in this case, a new system driver was rolled out. And when updating system software, I absolutely expect security vendors to use a staged rollout like everyone else.

Ok, makes sense

Why not? There are some popular examples, like mysql --> mariadb or elasticsearch --> opensearch

Sure. But you could also just not turn off the mail server for a start ;)
