I surfed the net and found that suddenly AMD AM5 Platform has now an open source bios which can be flashed. I would like to flash the Dasharo Coreboot UEFI Bios to my MSI PRO B850-P WIFI Mainboard.

I have found that the following steps have to be accomplished:

UEFI Secure boot, tpm 2.0 are already working according to Dasharo and on "Pre-boot DMA protection for AMD systems" its actively worked on.

Does Faceit allows that a user is using a open source uefi bios?

I have a Windows Server 2022 Client which gets its IPv4 address via 2 windows server dhcp servers.

The 2 Windows Servers are configured as Failover Mode "load balanced" and dhcp servers are in a own subnet while client is in different subnet. The dhcp relay has both dhcp ip addresses configured.

When the clients boots it shows a /32 subnet mask after a very very slow windows logon with ipconfig. I have looked at the wireshark traces captured from a mirror port and I don't see a /32 subnet mask in the dhcp (bootp) packets itself instead in the packets it only mentions /24 but never /32.

After I do ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew it shows the ipv4 address correctly with /24 mask. Also i think the slowness is because it tries to send every local subnet traffic to the gateway and then in Wireshark i see TTL of 127 at other servers in same subnet and retransmitted syn ack even if 3 way handshake already completed.

Do you know is this some shitty cache on the client? What can I do to eliminate this behaviour without doing ipconfig /release and renew all the time after boot?

In my OS deployment tool I set the 2 dummy reg keys for the compund conditions which will follow later by ninaone agent. After the OS install has completed I do 4 compound conditions.

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\CompanyNinja" /v NinjaPendingOnboarding /t REG_SZ /d True /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComapnyNinja" /v SetupStage /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f

CompoundCondition 1: Stage 1 Check If Windows Registry is NinjaPendingOnboarding True and SetupStage is set to 1. If this is all true then do a Reboot initiated by NinjaAgent.

CompoundCondition 2: Stage 2 Check If Windows Registry is SetupStage 2 if yes then Install the 3rd PartyApps I uploaded into NinjaOne Cloud by pressing "Install Application on the WebUI". Then Set Registry Key SetupStage to 3.

CompoundCondition 3: Stage 3 Check If Windows Registry is SetupStage 3 if yes then set the following 2 Actions from NinjaUI Software patch scan followed by Software patch apply and I exepct after both has finished BatchScript should SetupStage 4.

However in this CompundCondition 3 end its strange since Software Patch Scan and Software Patch apply do not wait until operation has finished instead my Batch Script which should set next stage immediatly runs then in Stage 4 I get error messages that previous Job did not finish.

CompoundCondition 4: Stage 4 Check If Windows Registry is SetupStage 4 if yes then do OS Patch scan, OS patch apply and then set in Registry via Batch Script the finish flag and delete SetupStage and set Registry Key NinjaPendingOnboarding to False.

Also in CompoundCondition4 its immediatly executed my BatchScript since the configured OS Actions did not wait until execution has finished.

How can I control the behaviour to start only stage 4 when "Software patch scan" and "Software patch apply" have finished? I don't have a trigger where I can check on.

I could try a waiting batch script which waits for example 30 minutes in hope that everything patch related has finished however this is highly variable also depending on concurrent clients downloading things over the net.

I tried to install Win 11 Pro via WDS only however I encountered many difficulties like unable to skip format disk window then I tried WDS together with MDT and now I can setup the win 11 pro basically fine. MDT runs nearly unattend besides of setting a computername which is fine since I want to choose the computer name.

Then I deploy the NinjaOne agent per Immediate Task via GPO which nearly immediatly deploys the Agent as soon as MDT does the domain join.

Topic is that i tried that all only in Vmware VM with VMXNET3 driver.

Does this all works fine on newest lenovo business laptops or is MDT maybe a problem there?

As the title says i can start software scan and update however in ninja one web console I get the following error messages and no software updates are done. Could someone explain me what I did wrong?

Automation started patch management apply patch

Software Patch Apply Patch Complete - Patch management update FAILED to complete. ERROR: Failed to install Orbit

Third Party Patching Install Failed - Ninja Software Patch management install failed

Do I need to rely on WDS-Role in order to install clients over the network or is there a ninja solution for that? Iam asking since I don't find anything related to pxe except that you can generate a PE wim file for pxe.

I did complete g1 remake after 32 hours of gameplay. And at some point in time I was really frustrated about the remake and bugs i encountered.

I try to list them here:

1. After the 4 friends gorn, milton, lester and diego meet near the old mine for access to lower minecrawler area all 4 attacked me without warning i had to let them struck me 3 times before the quest line continued.
2. When I wanted to go to the upper area of old camp thorus told me that the actual situation is heated between fire mages and gomez however he let me pass without paying 1000 ore because I was member of old camp. When I visted the fire mages all attacked me and also gomez guards tried to attack and somehow kill me. For some reason when they attacked me the cut scene "kill firemages" was triggered and suddenly i tried to flee with milton however milton was stuck at the stairs and the main questline did not continue. I had to reload the savegame from "Windows Shadowcopy" since i did overwrite all previous savegame files when i realized. Saturas did not want to talk with me so I had to revert from windows shadowcopy and then it was really really lucky that i could complete this questline.
3. I had to bug in a corner of old camp so that guards are not fast enough to kill me when they struck me to ground. Then i had to talk very very fast with milton and corristo after that the kill scene triggered again and finally i could complete it.
4. I don't like places where you can softlock like the sleeper temple try one. I had 0 heal pots after some intensive shaman fights against a electro orc shaman however i completed this guy with 1 hp left. Then I had to kill like 4 deamons without any healing pots and i fortuneatly had +30 mana amulet and 9 healing scrolls. If I did not had these I would not have been able to complete sleeper temple part one since I couldnt teleport or go out of sleeper temple because of this barrier however during that time when i entered sleeper temple and came to that conclusion that i do not have any healing pots many hours passed and also backup savegame did not exist before that point when I entered sleeper temple. I really really eat and drank any alcohol, water, bread, meet i had.
5. It would be really cool to prevent the issue that you can softlock yourself because of not available healing sources.
6. I also don't like these new arena fights where you cannot escape. This was at least many times very frustrating for me when I had to try so often the boss that i finally could beat him. especially if your only healing source is meat or consumeables or healing spells and not heal pots which you can drink on the fly. In the classic gothic 1 you could escape from everywhere you were not forced to stay in an area.
7. There is also another annoying instant healing feature like trolls or golems. When you move to faar away from them their life wents from whatever it was to instant 100%. In original Gothic 1 this was never the case. You always could run away and go in cover somewhere then continue fighting with the hp whatever that monster had at that time. The exception was if you sleep they will regenerate.

Can you confirm that 9950X3D2 CPU is suitable for Linux Gaming like GPU-Passthrough scenarios via Proxmox or KVM-Hypervisor?

I plan a setup like this:
Gigabyte Aorus Master X3D ICE
9950X3D2 (8 cpu cores for Host and 8 cpu cores for guest gaming machine) with SMT off
Corsair Vengeance schwarz UDIMM 64GB Kit, DDR5-6000, CL30-36-36-76
XFX Radeon RX 7900 XT for Linux Looking Glass Linux Host Setup
Headless Nvidia 5080 GPU to be used in Looking Glass Setup inside virtualization

A m8 of mine where I played several premier matches with is awesome at faceit.

This is the player: https://www.faceit.com/en/players/Cvintesencia

In Premier he is always baiting and is bottom fragger every round.

This is the premier match for example where he played with a m8 of mine:

steam://rungame/730/76561202255233023/+csgo_download_match%20CSGO-jCuxe-72C6z-zDw29-uoSz5-EqbcP

He had 9 kills at the end of the game and only shifting and baiting. In Faceit however he is pushing and entry fragging all the time.

For example this faceit match confirms that: https://www.faceit.com/en/cs2/room/1-bdb01584-98ed-41d8-b846-5c55e8125e4a/scoreboard

Also look at his ping its around 80 ms and he is playing on russian faceit server. His playstyle is totally confident too confident vs what he did in premier matches.

I think that its not him playing there. He might ordered a faceit boosting service so that someone else is playing for him.

Please check his IP and compare countries. I bet with you this guy is not playing from russian ip despite if he is living in russia.

If you are still unsure in your decisions:

115 hours all and last played 28 april.

Did anyone try 9950X3D2 on a VFIO setup? I mean having 3d cache on both ccd seems nice for virtualization since you only need to isolate core 8-15 when having SMT disabled.

Can I expect a performance in the VM of a 9800X3D like setup when gaming?

I looked a little bit on the Gitea Page and there are 2 versions one open source and the other one for enterprise. Enterprise for example supports saml while open source does not. However what if you use onPrem Windows Directory as a User Source? Can you freely configure it via LDAPS?
