Can confirm, am poor bastard.

What VPS are you using?

You should be able to setup a firewall, blocking all access to the SSH port. Then setup a VPN so that only you can access via SSH after making your VPN connection.

If you connect via a static IP, you can also create an ACL for the VPN connection just in case. You can set an ACL for the SSH port forward rule directly as well, but I don’t like that personally. I prefer keeping things behind the VPN.

The guest VM requires TPM to install Windows 11.

It depends on your hypervisor platform. Some platforms can enable vTPM (emulated TPM) without host hardware support, like KVM with swtpm.

Hyper-V can do passthrough TPM or emulate vTPM but still require the host to have hardware TPM enabled to do so.

No, your guest VM still requires TPM enabled

That right there might beat Microsoft and Google name changes combined

Yes, that one too! smh

Their enterprise products as well. Azure is now Entra, all the admin page rebrandings like defender, purview, intune, the URL changes, etc.

Please just stick with a name already!!

I know…how to prompt?

This is the way

Yeah, true. But that’s cool. Having choice like that is great!

But I suppose that’s the issue. Trying to keep signup simple to help drive user engagement. How much do you try to wrap someone’s head around such nuanced differences, and when do you say “just join me on my instance”?

I’m on three different instances and the sort by All-hot feed is nearly identical.

I’m not on Beehaw or Hexbear, but those instances make it pretty well known they block a lot of other instances.

Very strange, but glad you worked it out!

I’ll keep this thread in mind if I ever run into something similar.

Well, dig is available also of course, but nearly all distros still include nslookup despite it getting deprecated. I like the simplicity of its interactive mode.

Host is also really great with more human-readable output.

Don’t get me wrong, when things are getting hairy, you’re going to make a lot of use of dig. I just find that most troubleshooting can be taken care of a lot simpler with host or nslookup.

nslookup is available on macOS and most Linux distros as well (and very helpful indeed).

Yeah if you can dig a record and received a response it’s not a routing issue.

But aren’t you on the same subnet as your DNS server? There’s no routing happening if you’re on the same subnet which I was assuming.

Even through dig defaults to outputting A records when no other options are specified, I would use the A option anyway just in case:

dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan A

If you use “ping study.lan” do you see it output the A record IP address in the first line of output?

Did you try using nslookup as I described?

Yeah MakeMKV is great. That should be top on any ripping software list.
