That limp mode is usually controlled by ‘BD PROCHOT’, it can be disabled, but check your sensors and make sure there isn’t something wrong before doing so.

Yeah it used to be broken for me too, I think only recently did it actually let me activate it. My university also uses Duo 2FA, and I activated it fine. But sometimes it doesn’t activate on the first try, you have to reopen office a few times.

Also it seems to only let you activate it, you can’t actually sign in with your account for online features yet.

I avoid O365 as much as possible, but when I need to, I do occasionally use it with Crossover and it seems to work. Activation was a little bit janky, but did work.

Crossover is a paid version of WINE, and the other apps I’ve seen mentioned run Windows in a VM and forward the apps through RDP. There are advantages to both approaches, but I prefer the efficiency of Crossover.

It’s easy enough to add your own secure boot keys, you can even remove the Microsoft keys so that only your OS will boot.

There are things I don’t understand about the machine that also make me think AI, but Google Translate seems to understand so maybe it isn’t?

Edit: Actually I think AI is better than I thought it would be.

You’re going to have a hard time trying to get that working over the WAN (if that’s even possible).

Wake on LAN is still encapsulated in an IP packet, so you can send it over the internet, and most WOL clients let you specify an IP. However your router will need to DNAT it to a broadcast address. Some routers have a check box for this (e.g. An ISP provided Technicolor router I have), some let you port forward to broadcast (e.g. Many routers, sometimes with workarounds), and some let you manually configure NAT (e.g. MikroTik routers).

So it is possible, but forwarding public internet traffic to a broadcast address seems like a bad idea, and I wouldn’t recommend it. Why I know this: I used to do this in middle school, and it does work quite well.

If you just want an IPv6 prefix and don’t need the encryption a VPN provides, you can use an IPv6 broker. Hurricane Electric’s broker is a popular one.

I don’t know what fedora 43 ships, but version 3.2.0 of nvtop should also give you stats, although it may need sudo for some stuff.

keyring lets you set backends with environment variables, I believe you can try PYTHON_KEYRING_BACKEND=keyring.backends.null.Keyring which is the simplest backend as it doesn’t save anything.

Edit: You can also try keyrings.alt as it has an insecure file backend, if you absolutely need password saving.

Yeah thats fair enough. The ACS override patch should still have better isolation and speed than anything else you can do without native ACS, the security implications are just it’s theoretically possible to intercept another PCIe device’s traffic through the NIC; you can read more here.

SR-IOV works by presenting one device as many, which you can passthrough one of those to your VM. Meaning SR-IOV only works through PCIe passthrough, so you’d have to figure that out first. The GPU guides should get you most of the way there.

Some distros include an ACS patch into their kernel (e.g. Proxmox, and I think CachyOS), which lets you passthrough devices without hardware support (but lacking some security features).

I believe it might be possible to ‘passthrough’ the VF from the host without PCIe passthrough (I’ve only done this with containers though), but performance is often worse than just using a bridge.
