I'm assuming it's a fresh install, so nothing of value was lost if the restore failed. But also I've heard attempting to delete things in /sys and /dev can brick your computer. So it's not a great idea.

Total Commander

I've started recommending Amaze, it's free, open source, and easy to use.

Although I still use Solid Explorer for myself, but only because I've paid for it and know how it works.

Both have SMB support, since copying files to and from my server is pretty much my only need for a file manager.

Commemorative coins are sometimes really expensive here, the Royal Australian Mint has a shop where you can pay hundreds for some special coins.

I'd be quite surprised if they actually support DoH, but OP already said it was set to OpenDNS by default anyway, so if it did it's probably disabled.

I also don't believe DNSSec would affect this, since it just verifies that a DNS zone wasn't modified by a non-authority, not that you're actually talking to the same DNS server you're expecting.

The HTTPS certs are designed to prevent MITMing, but if it's still a worry or the domain is blocked by DNS, you can manually find the IP and add it to your hosts file instead.

I'm not a radio engineer, but my understanding is you're just bouncing signals off the moon itself, there isn't a device that echos the signal back or anything. There are mirrors on the moon to reflect lasers back though.

A reverse proxy by itself doesn't do much security wise. You could possibly setup some sort of authentication, attempt blocking, and rate limiting (in the reverse proxy, don't trust the DVR), but it'll probably also break the DVR even more.

There's bots that port scan and specifically target all sorts of stuff, and DVRs are a very common target. With a VPN in the way, there's no way of knowing what's there. A VPN also shouldn't break the web UI.

I really wouldn't expose a DVR to the internet, and especially not RTSP, those sorts of things get brute forced all the time, and you can find websites full of hacked cameras.

What I would do is run a VPN server (maybe Wireguard) on your Pi, and VPN in when you want to look at your cameras.

It's probably blocked for whatever reason (maybe less than 90 days old?)

My work and Uni do the same thing, they don't do full SSL inspection, so most websites don't need a custom certificate authority; but if the SNI is blocked then they need a custom certificate to hijack and display a blocked message, most browsers will detect this as a MITM and display a not secure message instead.

Are you only using QEMU, or are you using some sort of wrapper around it? QEMU is quite advanced, if you aren't already, I'd recommend you use some sort of GUI like virt-manager or something.

Can you share your config?

Does it BSOD or just reboot after the Windows logo?

You might have to pass the drives through as IDE, Windows might not have the proper drivers for anything else. Once you can get it booting you can mount a blank drive as virtio, install the virtio drivers, and then change the OS drive to virtio.

Oh cool, I believe only 4bit colours are possible, you can use this table from Wikipedia and the escape sequence \e[<FG>m replacing<FG> with your chosen foreground colour. Also \e[0m to reset everything.

funny how we use the same font XD

Haha yeah! I noticed that too!

I think I just used regex look aheads and look behinds to insert the colours easily.

Edit: Oh you can change that actual TTY font to a bigger one, if the text is too small too.
