Happy New Year to all my readers! Here’s a short post about this past year, as well as some of my goals for the site, for the upcoming year. This year we had a full site redesign which I am extremely proud of. The tech ramblings section inspired by Raccon”s Blog and Tweakhound.com, with short- takes on different things has provided a platform for my short posts without cluttering up the rest of the blog.

We have a problem in our office. We have TB’s of customers’ data that needs to be moved around every month. As of now what we have been doing is using external SSD’s. We have a consumer-grade Nas that we are using for various other things but thought maybe we should try to do all this data moving around via the network. We went and slammed a couple of SSD’s into a higher-end Synology NAS and tested it. What did we find? A hard cap at 125 MBPS max. Why is that you may ask, Gigabit is limited

I was trying to find a crack for the app, Seer and made the mistake of running them withought a sandbox. The program ran a crypto miner which kept getting blocked by my firewall. But in the background my files were being renamed to .koom. Luckily I caught it as well as restored from backups within a hr. I only run simplewall and no AV so if I make a mistake like that I’m pretty screwed. (Looking at moving to Malwarebytes premium.) TLDR: Use a sandbox and have quality backups

In 2015, a joint study by the University of California, Berkeley and Google identified Crossrider as a major affiliate of ad injectors, including SuperFish that you may remember from the laptop adw

I love Ryzen, it has brought a kickass product and much needed competition to the CPU space. My main Pc is Ryzen and I basically have only recommended Ryzen for desktops for the past three years. That being said our shop has just run into way to many issues on Ryzen 2000 and 3000 mobile chips. Mostly seems to be bios, power profiles and sleep state related issues. Again all anecdotal evidence but at this point I recommend sticking with intel for laptops.
