I never mentioned vulnerabilities, I just wanted to point out that, RDP doesn't really work without a graphical session, Windows Server Core gets around this by being a graphical session (although very basic).
Also I'm not sure, but I don't think Windows handles RDP on the kernel level, it's just nicely tied in with DWM and doesn't have to deal with the multitude of window managers on Linux.
Handling RDP on the kernel level does sound like a bad idea security wise, but there should be a better way.
Windows Server Core still has a window manager, just all it does show a command prompt very similar to the one in the usual Windows recovery environment.
I hadn't restarted my serial logger after I rebooted my laptop, leaving me with no clue about what caused the crash.
Probably way too late now, but if it was a proper kernel panic, it should've saved the dmesg in the kernel's pstore which saves to either ACPI or EFI storage (depending on BIOS or UEFI), which systemd then extracts to /var/lib/systemd/pstore/ on next reboot.
Unless you are moving gigabits of data, you won't notice the difference the smaller header payload of ipv6 offers.
IPv6 headers are usually bigger anyway1, so the only advantage is more efficient routing (so infinitesimally better latency), but in my experience most routers only support IPv4 hw offload and not IPv6, so it's only more efficient in theory.
I just like IPv6 because I get a whole /56 prefix to play with, and devices often randomise their host portion through the privacy extensions, meaning they use a new address each day or so.
1 IPv4 is usually ~20 bytes, but it can be up to 60 bytes if you stack a lot of options, IPv6 is only 40 bytes AFAIK.
For the AMD version, if you're going for an almost all Type A layout or something, it's handy to note that the Type A expansion card have idle power issues in the back ports.
It seems like it's fixed now, but if possible use one of the mirrors, so everyone's not hitting that one server all that hard, it's usually faster too.
Most thermal paste isn't electrically conductive, so that blob inbetween the capacitors shouldn't be an issue, but it would be good to know what thermal paste it is to be sure.
The symbol they defined out is not the equals symbol but rather U+2550, so the for loop is fine.
