GPG and OpenPGP reference sheet

Create a new keypair

Caution

For signing Git commits on GitHub, you must use the exact same email address to generate the GPG keypair that your GitHub account uses. Otherwise, your commit signatures will be invalid, and you will need to create another keypair with the correct email address.

Windows Server TLS cipher suites for A ranking on Qualys SSL Labs SSL Test

SSL Cipher Suite Order

📃 Edit using gpedit.msc › Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates › Network > SSL Configuration Settings > SSL Cipher Suite Order.

🅰 These cipher suites will grant you an A+ ranking on Qualys SSL Labs SSL Server Test and testssl.sh.

⚡ Changes require a reboot to take effect.

⚠️ Using the Server 2019 cipher suite order on Server 2022 will result in Windows Update failures with the error message "we couldn't connect to the update service." Before upgrading from Server 2019 to Server 2022, make sure to disable this policy or set its value to the Server 2022 value below.

🍦 Default cipher suite orders are listed on Microsoft Learn for Server 2019, [Server 2022](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthn/tls-cipher-suites-in-wi

Play H.265/HEVC videos in Windows Media Player (Classic) without a third-party codec pack or media player. Tested using Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension_2.0.60091.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe with WMP 12.0.20348.1311 on Windows Server 2022 21H2 and 12.0.22621.1105 on Windows 11 22H2.

Download

  1. Go to https://store.rg-adguard.net.
  2. Search for the HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer (Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension) app by entering the following store URL.
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions-from-device-manufacturer/9n4wgh0z6vhq
    
    • Do not use the normal HEVC Video Extensions app URL, because that can't play HEVC videos in Windows Media Player for some inscrutable reason.
  3. Download the AppxBundle file.
    • You may have to right click › Save Link As because the URL scheme is http, not https, if your browser is set to enforce HTTPS-only mode.
  • If it tries to save as a filename that's just a GUID, you may copy the correct .AppxBundle filename and save it as that instead.
