Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

l008com replied to the thread A way to monitor CPU/GPU temps in real time?.Indeed we have. I've used that program on macos for years but I've never used it on windows. HOW does it display temps? The games will be full screen so the task bar will not be visible. Can it overlay temps on full screen apps? -

What OS are you using? -
l008com replied to the thread A way to monitor CPU/GPU temps in real time?.Oh sorry guys my bad, the problems are happening when I'm running Windows 10, playing classic GTA games.

I have an old 2011 Mac mini with discrete AMD GPU that I use for retro gaming. On paper, its (relatively) powerful GPU that should be many times faster than the 2010 Mac mini/NVidia 320m it replaced. Edit: This is in Windows 10 - not macOS...

l008com replied to the thread How safe is running an FTP server (not SFTP) in this specific configuration?.I'm actually on Macs, and we have FTP read only, no write native in the Finder. But the code editor I use (BBEdit) actually has an FTP client built in. Plus I probably wouldn't be using this for day to day stuff, just special larger transfers...

l008com posted the thread How safe is running an FTP server (not SFTP) in this specific configuration? in Networking & Security.This is for a single, collocated server living in a data center. The server is directly connected to the Internet. The firewall allows web and email services through, but nothing else. So everything else, including filesharing, including SSH...

l008com replied to the thread New Thermal Paste in Old Mac mini.4.6 out of 5 stars with 588 ratings. I don't think I bought it from amazon because its not in my order history. And my syringe was WAY smaller than that one :D I'll have to run that monitoring software and see whats happening because I'm...

l008com replied to the thread New Thermal Paste in Old Mac mini.I used the stuff I had sealed on my desk. I don't think its as old as I originally thought. I will be using this Mac nightly so it will get cycled a lot, we'll see if it improves. It was protronix series 7

l008com replied to the thread New Thermal Paste in Old Mac mini.Well thats a bummer. I cleaned off the old paste, put on new paste, tested it out, and no change. At all. I also used some canned air and cleaned out what little dust there was in the fan and in the heatsink fins. It doesn't make sense to me...

l008com replied to the thread New Thermal Paste in Old Mac mini.The unopened stuff I have is Protronix Series 7 thermal paste. And giving it more thought, I'm pretty sure this stuff isn't that old after all. No more than 5 years and probably less than that. >3.17W/(m-K) *whatever that means*

I have this old 2011 Mac mini I'm using as a retro games machines. Its the only Mac mini ever made that had discrete graphics, I think its an AMD 6630m. Its 15 years old but I'm only playing old games so its ideal. I keep it in my bedroom plugged...

l008com replied to the thread Blocking SYN-Flood Attacks on macOS?.Yeah I think the newest macos i've run on mac servers is.... Monterey. So if its a new problem then thats possible but they make it sounds like its every macos in that article and its definitely not. Who knows. Theres a lot of content in that...
-
l008com replied to the thread Blocking SYN-Flood Attacks on macOS?.Never heard of that. I'm also very skeptical. They don't say its any specific macos version, but "ANY" macos version. I've been running multiple Mac servers at a time for over 25 years and they're almost always over 49 days of uptime and I have...

I'm working on setting up a new server. My old server gets slammed with synfloods all the time and has no good defense against them. After reading a lot a few years ago, it seemed like FreeBSD was going to be the best OS to use for this. The...

l008com replied to the thread Blocking SYN-Flood Attacks on macOS?.Sadly, it does not look like the scrubbing is having any effect at all. Oh well, it was worth a shot.
-
l008com replied to the thread Blocking SYN-Flood Attacks on macOS?.Ok so final update on scrubbing, I commented out all the external anchors added by the OS. They appeared to be doing nothing anyway but they were causing the scrub command to throw a syntax error. With that gone, I was able to get scrubbing...
-
l008com replied to the thread Blocking SYN-Flood Attacks on macOS?.Ok I made a little progress anyway. The error goes away if I comment all of the apple anchor points above the rules. But I'm not even sure what these lines mean. Comment that out, and it goes away. The only uncommented line in...

l008com replied to the thread Blocking SYN-Flood Attacks on macOS?.Ok so scrub all in is incorrect, apparently it's scrub in all But it's still throwing a syntax error even when worded properly. I put my scrub in all rules underneath set skip on lo0. The only stuff above that is anchor points added by apple...
-
l008com replied to the thread Blocking SYN-Flood Attacks on macOS?.So this is curious. On my test server, when I do scrub all in at the top, then I can do synproxy state on my port 80 rule and NOW synproxy seems to be working. I'm afraid to actually enable this on my real server yet but that is a very...

l008com replied to the thread Blocking SYN-Flood Attacks on macOS?.When you get old, 5 years goes by in the blink of an eye. Feels like we just left this thread hanging a month ago.
