    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?

    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.

    A way to monitor CPU/GPU temps in real time?

    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. Forgot to say that! In practice, as soon as CJ starts...

    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 like office backups I do every few months.

    How safe is running an FTP server (not SFTP) in this specific configuration?

    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, must go over the VPN. The VPN is running on the...

    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 starting to wonder if the GPU is fine but the CPU is...

    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

    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 that this AMD 6630m is effectively just as powerful...

    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*

    New Thermal Paste in Old Mac mini

    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 in to my TV. So here's the problem. For what I'm...

    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 article but not a lot of actual information.

    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 never experienced this problem. I wish they gave...

    Best OS to run a high traffic web server?

    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 backend similarities with macOS (the os I use for...

    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.

    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 working. Synproxy still does not work. I'd love to get...
