(from bitter experience): Also consider periodically taking the backup and spinning it up on a separate host/VM. And then codifying those steps into a script, so that if the time ever comes, restoring from backups is less of a fire dri

Fair, but also consider that before a researcher is in the "worth their salt" category, they are learning. Hyper-V seems like a reasonable isolation methodology. Same machine may be either unpatched to evaluate malware against a

The Hyper-V escape seems of particular note - since using Hyper-V for isolation of suspected malware can be compromised via this vuln.

This may be a naive question: is using a NIC with PTP (nee IEEE-1588) an option for a time source? Or am I thinking of two completely diverse time source paths, at utterly different HW stacks?

A whole-house UPS is a fairly non-trivial affair. As you mention, there is a generator involved, but also batteries to feed the inverter which would carry the load whilst the generator got up to speed. Another, often overlooked aspect, is t

And ZWave light switches, though some electrical (re)wiring may be required, so depending on one's comfort with Angary Pixies and their wrangling, this particular path may be a smidge trickier.

The Z series.CPUs are quite fascinating in the design sense, and the overall reliability engineering of mainframes is fascinating. The article (post?) itself has what seem to be incomplete sentences, as if ML-written. Example: ```New error

That is pretty neat! Tried it on mobile, and it was a bit constrained (likely due to my settings like font size and the like), but will certainly try on a full desktop browser shortly.

As a corollary - maintenance of buried power lines is more expensive due to all the digging which has to be done. Power line inspection is also trickier. I also wonder if the unions representing linemen have a strong influence on "bury

Those, too, can be backed up, though for a while, at least on Android, Google Authenticator could not be (unless rooted, and even then, a nontrivial undertaking). This, AFAIK, has changed.

I found the description of "lies dormant until a call to 000 is placed" curious. Is the OS determining when AML is activated? Or is it always active (since it takes a bit of time to scan WiFi networks, get a GPS lock, et cetera),

Another vote for NetBox. The REST API of NetBox coupled with how responsive the Digital Ocean team behind NetBox is to feature requests are hugely useful. The (relatively) recent additions of patch panels, and cable paths through them are v

Agree with your sentiments, but a phone number isn't a unique identifier we'd care about. Rather, it is the IMEI (general networking equivalent is a NIC MAC address). Cycling that is what is necessary, but I do not believe that is

Hrm. My Windows knowledge is possibly dared, but don't Group Policies simply apply registry values? So, if those are known, they can be applied (and, hopefully, be effective) on non-Pro editions of the OS?
