Powershell SecretStore - Safely Use Credentials or API keys within Script


When using powershell for scripting, you may need to store credentials within the script. This is insecure especially when dealing with an API key. The preferred way to deal with this is using the powershell SecretStore module. I will go over how to install this module and configure it to allow you to store credentials within a script in an easy and secure way.

(PR) SK Hynix Announces Production LPDDR5T, World's Fastest Mobile Memory Standard

SK hynix Inc. announced today that it has started supplying its customers with 16 gigabyte (GB) packages of Low Power Double Data Rate 5 Turbo (LPDDR5T), the fastest mobile DRAM available today that can transfer 9.6 gigabits per second (Gbps). Since the successful development of its LPDDR5T in January, SK hynix has been preparing to commercialize the product by conducting performance verification with global mobile application processor (AP) manufacturers.

SK hynix explained that LPDDR5T is the optimal memory to maximize the performance of smartphones, with the highest speed ever achieved. The company also emphasized that it would continue to expand the application range of this product and lead the generation shift in the mobile DRAM sector. The LPDDR5T 16 GB package operates in the ultra-low voltage range of 1.01 to 1.12 V set by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC), and can process 77 GB of data per second, which is equivalent to transferring 15 full high-definition (FHD) movies in one second.

AMD Releases Preview Driver for FSR 3 Fluid Motion Frames

AMD late Thursday released the latest version of the Special Preview Driver that lets you experience FSR 3 Fluid Motion Frames (version: 23.30.01.03), the AMD technology designed to rival NVIDIA's DLSS 3 Frame Generation. The driver is off-branch, and works with Radeon RX 6000 series, and RX 7000 series; but Fluid Motion Frames (FMF) technology is designed to be as cross-platform as FSR 2. For now, FMF is designed to work with DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 applications, on Radeon RX 7000 RDNA3 and RX 6000 RDNA2 GPUs. The November 9th update improves stability with task-switching between an application that has FMF enabled, and one that doesn't; and a number of intermittent driver crashes and bugs with the display of metrics.

ZALMAN Intros CNPS13X Black CPU Cooler

ZALMAN today introduced the CNPS13X Black tower-type CPU cooler. The company has a long line of side-flow tower type coolers, but this among the first with an illuminated and stylized top-plate as is contemporary. The cooler features a typical aluminium fin-stack tower type heatsink that's offset a little to its left side, to reduce intrusion of the fan into the motherboard's memory area. A nickel-plated copper base makes contact with the processor, from which five 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes pass through, conveying heat to the aluminium fin-stack, which is ventilated by a 120 mm ZALMAN AF120 fan.

The base features a reverse direct-touch heat pipe arrangement that reduces the space between the heat-source and the heatpipes, improving conductivity. The included fan features a hydraulic bearing that's rated for 40,000 hours, and features a webbed impeller that guides all of its airflow axially. It takes in 4-pin PWM input, turns at speeds ranging between 600 to 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 69.12 CFM of airflow, with 2.01 mm H₂O static pressure, and a maximum noise output of 29.7 dBA. The top plate takes in 3-pin addressable RGB input. The ZALMAN CNPS13X Black is designed for a thermal load of 240 W. The cooler measures 135 mm x 79 mm x 159 mm (WxDxH), weighing 810 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Setup Postfix as a Send-Only External SMTP Relay


Self-hosting a mail server can be a great learning experience. I recently set up an email server using Docker Mail-Server and I ran into an issue with outgoing mail where my public IP was on a policy blocklist. This caused almost all of my outgoing emails to be blocked. If you are faced with this problem, there are two directions you can go. You can sign up for an SMTP service, some are even free up to a certain number of emails, or you can run a postfix relay in a VPS. I like to have control of the underlying infrastructure, so I went with the latter. This guide will walk you through how to configure the Postfix relay server on the VPS so that it only accepts mail from your mail server's IP or from a server with a certificate that matches your mail server's hostname.
