FreeNAS 11.x is no longer receiving package updates due to the major version update to TrueNAS 12.x. A side effect is that the CA certificates database from systems on 11.x is now outdated and contains expired CA certificates. This causes errors such as the following when attempting to create jails or update the OS:
Update server could not be reached

At the worst possible moment, my C920 developed a horizontal line of dead pixels. I’m due to run an online event this weekend and I can’t do that without a half-decent webcam. But, with the lockdown in full effect, it seems that everyone has scrambled to buy them, and they’re out of stock everywhere - including Logitech’s own store. The RMA process is likely to take weeks, and I don’t have the luxury of waiting that long. I managed to find a BRIO 4K Stream Edition in stock at a rather inflated price, but...
Windows Server supports NIC Teaming, also known as Load Balancing/Failover (LBFO), which allows you to bond multiple network interfaces together, for example using 802.3ad (LACP). It used to be possible to use Powershell on Windows 10 to use teaming, even though it wasn’t intended, but in 2016 Microsoft said that the feature was never intended to be available on desktop SKUs, and removed it.
But, if it can be removed, it can be put back in!

TL;DR - OBS can do this using a display capture source and multiple output projectors. I’m using Streamlabs OBS on Windows, but you can probably make it work on regular OBS on any supported OS.
On my home workstation I’ve got three side-by-side monitors. Normally I roughly dedicate them to separate tasks - left usually has social/chat apps, music, etc., middle is whatever I’m working on, and right is usually either reserved for reference (e.g. documentation, diagrams, etc.) or as a sort of holding...
A lot of folks on the net seem to be interested in moving games from the Epic Games store from one drive to another, usually because they’re running out of space on their disk or they want to move the game to faster storage. I installed a bunch of games when I first built my new workstation, before I built a VROC RAID0 of M.2 NVMe SSDs, and wanted to move all of the games to the new large and fast storage array. Unfortunately, all of the advice I’ve found so far is basically to move the game files...
I recently built a new computer and enabled BitLocker on it. When doing so, it asked me to save my recovery key, but I didn’t have a working printer or a flash drive to hand to save my recovery key to (also it doesn’t seem sane to store the recovery key in cleartext on a USB stick), so I cheated and used Print to PDF to save the recovery key to my OS drive… the one I was encrypting.
A little later I was hardening my security settings and changed the DEP policy to from the default (opt-in) to opt-out. I...
