pihole recently started blocking ecs.office.com. Any idea what's triggering it?
  • "Windows 10 GAC (General Availability Channel) (i.e. Home, Pro) will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. So, if your hardware doesn't support Windows 11 then you might wanna use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 since its supported until Jan 13, 2032" from https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

  • No it's Win that makes debugging and keeping a system clean a pain. Linux is peace of mind compared to MS. Just go with Kubuntu for a desktop-pc (imo).

  • That's how far i got too, maybe it's the ms-defender?? thingy since i recently uninstalled mwb-antivirus. What bothers me is the svchost. Updates are paused and every checkbox is off, this machine goes online very rarely.

  • As the title says. I'm just curious what's triggering it. There is no MS Office installed. Happens as soon i start a windows10 pc and it's "packed" into svchost. Any idea?

    chatGPT login cycle
  • me too, till today :( Now i get the "easy" checkbox and the ones with the arrows too. I think it's cloudflare messing it up.

  • are you guys able to login these days? I'm struck with the endless login cycle on firefox and librewolf. I verify that I'm human two or three times in a row, solve the puzzle then enter the credentials but i always end up at the login page again. I tried disable ublock and umatrix in FF but with no luck.

    I'm trying to dl a documentary from 2015 called Sensitive but there are no seeds/peers. I searched the piratebay, 1337x, yts, torrentz2. Any idea where to search further?

    I'm looking for better lipsync in my animations and before i dive deep into deepfakes i wanted to ask if anybody has experience in this? (I've seen Methuman doing nice facial animations but i don't have an iphone).

    Since proton vpn doesn't accept ETH and my BTC is "locked" on coinbase i'm looking for an alternative to accept my ETH. (maybe the fee is lower with metamask).

    Coinbase wants a fee of 15$ for a payment of 45$...

    I'm using the above software by Sphinx Software, it's an active firewall noticing me on every event. It's ok but it's lagging my OS. Do you have any alternative you could suggest? Maybe an open-source one? (the WFC10 is a paid one btw)

    After two months into my lip-sync animation i decided yesterday to do a voice over with elevenlabs... they won't let me anymore. I didn't use their service recently but i used to login with my google-account. Last week google deactivated my account too, saying i'm a bot and they wanted my phone. Maybe it's related. Anyone experienced this too?

    This is the message from 11labs:
