Irfanview hacked on Windows 10, as was VLC player

What?!?! You must not have much data to fully restore if you can restore it all in under an hour. My backups would take quite a number of hours, maybe a day, to restore all of my data. I'd be glad to be able to restore it, in that eventuality, no matter how long it took. how big is all of your data? restoring a full 500g ssd is under an hour over usb 3.1. or just boot off a clone, should be around 30 seconds or so. for me, most of my data lives on file servers, accessible to any computer on the network. it took something like 20-30 minutes to back up my entire laptop. |

AFAICR, they changed the way date headers work with the most common InterNetNews NNRP servers well prior to the more current INN 2.6.0 (a few years ago), which means the newer versions handle date headers differently now than they did before. You can still completely control what the date header says, but you have to be able to change how your system date is presented to the news server. For example, my date header above should be the generic GMT system date. (and where my next reply, using the same server, will contain my computer sysdate.) |

By way of example, the date header above will be my system date instead of GMT (all other things being equal in the two consecutive posts). |
