What’s the difference? And is this OS specific?

What are the specs of your setup?

Oh sorry it was not obvious to me that this was a crosspost so I didn’t see the lengthy explanation provided! Indeed, my comment makes little sense, apologies.

This happens to me when using VGA and the connector isn’t well seated. Are you using an analog connector like VGA? Can you double check that the connector is well seated on both ends?

Gog does. The game manor lords is in early access on gog.

Check the video. It clearly shows how performance drops significantly the moment you run out of vram. It doesn’t meant the performance will be perfect in 1440p, it means Intel is using that as a competition ground, something the 8GB cards fail at and maybe Intel’s GPU isn’t great but the 12GB will probably make a difference (and Intel is maybe being quiet at 1080p because they are likely to perform worse).

With its 8GB, the 4060 performs quite poorly when scaling up the resolution. There’s a great video by hardware unboxed showing how limiting 8GB are, in 1440p.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Was XCP-ng considered as a migration target? Would you have some feedback to share on what made it unsuitable for you? Thank you!

They have a special migration tool from VMWare: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/installation/migrate-to-xcp-ng/#-from-vmware

Thank you, I will dig into this to see if there’s something I’m missing, but I did use the same resources the poster did, but the thread may provide more information.

Thanks for the reply! Can you tell me more about what you mean with “check the efi grub install”?

Edit: to be clear, I have a vanilla initramfs booting properly, which is the one automatically built. I’m just trying to replicate it myself.

This is the way.

Indeed, I’ve shared this with friends but we need more people and more awareness! This is a golden opportunity, if this tentative does not succeed, who knows how long until next time?

Of course, if a person with large following spreads the word, it can have a great effect, but please do not wait for this to happen, do not rely on this. By individually spreading the word, we are putting much more weight on it and giving it a much better shot.

This is a serious shot! Take it.

I explored whether this was a permission issue, but the permission is the same on the default and my initramfs:

mytestalpine:~# ls -l /boot/initramfs-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10734241 Nov 27 22:56 /boot/initramfs-6.6.58-0-lts.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17941160 Nov  3 17:39 /boot/initramfs-lts

I hear you, but how much time was Synology given? If it was no time at all (which it seems is what happened here??), that does not even give Synology a chance and that’s what I’m concerned with. If they get a month (give or take), then sure, disclose it and too bad for them if they don’t have a fix, they should have taken it more seriously, but I’m wondering about how much time they were even given in this case.

It’s about online games and anti cheat. Many companies will not allow anti cheat to work on Linux because they “require” kernel level anti cheat, a big security and privacy concern.

You can read more about anti cheat games and their compatibility with Linux here: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Was it that the talk was a last minute change (replacing another scheduled talk) so the responsible disclosure was made in a rush without giving synology more time to provide the patch before the talk was presented?

If so, who decided it was a good idea to present something regarding a vulnerability without the fix being available yet?

I’m not sure, I read that ZFS can help in the case of ransomware, so I assumed it would extend to accidental formatting but maybe there’s a key difference.

I think these kind of situations are where ZFS snapshots shine: you’re back in a matter of seconds with no data loss (assuming you have a recent snapshot before the mistake).

Edit: yeah no, if you operate at the disk level directly, no local ZFS snapshot could save you…

Indeed, totally an Apple approach to modularity: it is a proprietary Apple SSD…
