Install the ASP.NET Core runtime machine-wide on a Raspberry Pi, where packages are unavailable and you normally have to fuck around with arguments and symlinks

Retrospect is annoying, slow, and broken, but I know how to use it

Extract backed-up registry to files, not to a live system

  1. Restore
  2. Advanced Mode
  3. Restore an entire volume
  4. Pick the Source snapshot and wait for it to finish matching
  5. For the Destination, pick any drive (it won't be overwritten) and create a new Subvolume in it (it's just a new subdirectory which will contain the restored files)
  6. Change the restore method to Restore Missing Files Only
  7. In Files Chosen, deselect the root drive so that there are 0 files chosen
  8. In Options → More Choices → Windows → System, ensure Restore System State is checked. I also disabled Restore Security Information because registry hive files have very restrictive permissions by default, which makes them harder to work with while restoring.
  9. Restore

Aldaviva / Enable OpenSSH SSH server in Windows Server 2019.md
Last active April 17, 2024 06:52
OpenSSH sshd is sort of straightforward, and better than Cygwin.

Assumptions

  • Your server is running Windows Server 2019.
  • Your client is using PuTTY or OpenSSH Client, and you know how to connect to servers and set private keys.
  • Your server user is an administrator.

Steps

  1. Install the OpenSSH Server feature.
    1. Go to Settings › Apps › Apps & features › Manage optional features.
    2. Select + Add a feature.
    3. Select OpenSSH Server, then select Install.
