IDM Permission denied / 10013 on every HTTPS download: traced root cause and exact fix

This note documents a real case where Internet Download Manager showed:

Permission denied. Please check your firewall settings and ensure that IDM has permits to access the Internet.

and the details line pointed at multiple HTTPS hosts on port 443.

The failure looked like a generic IDM networking problem, but the actual root cause was a set of local outbound Windows Firewall block rules targeting IDM's executables.

VMware Workstation Ubuntu VM Shows Huge Host Size Even Though Linux Uses Little Space

If your Ubuntu VM says it is using something like 27 GB, but Windows shows the VM folder taking 100+ GB, this is usually not a Linux mystery. It is a VMware virtual disk compaction issue.

# PowerShell helper to run bash commands inside a VMware Workstation guest
# and capture their output on the host.
#
# vmrun's runScriptInGuest silently discards stdout — this works around that
# by redirecting output to a temp file in the guest, then pulling it back with
# CopyFileFromGuestToHost.

# Requirements:
