Using a bridge isn't going to conceal your Tor usage from the feds... bridges make it less obvious that you're using Tor and they're harder to censor... but a 3-letter agency monitoring your connection can still know you're using Tor if you're using Snowflake or an obs4 bridge. https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Hide_Tor_from_your_Internet_Service_Provider

Lots of my old HDDs give plenty of thumps
The newer ones seem pretty tame.
I can only guess the heads doesn't need to move as much on the newer ones because even moving just a little bit is traversing terabytes of data

>>107747641
It's a Nanoxia Deep Silence 5 IIRC. Basically looks like a Fractal clone. It's not bad quality actually, the HDDs mount to trays via rubber grommets so there's no metal-on-metal contact at all. The sides and top of the case also have sound dampening.

There's hardly any "normal" drive activity noise to be heard, like the typical crunchy / scratchy /clicky sort of sound of a drive seeking, but if I put my hand on the case I feel a thumping in time with drive activity. If I listen carefully I can also hear a subtle thumping noise, but way down in the bass area, nothing like what I'd usually associate with any HDD.

>>107748022
These are pretty new drives actually, I have 16TB Toshiba MG08s (from like 3 years ago) and MG09s that I just got recently. Maybe it's because my old drives were 5400RPM and all these newer ones are 7200RPM or something? Maybe the head actuation is more aggressive too or something, or maybe they have more platters and heads inside, thus more mass is being moved.

Hello /hsg/, retard here. I want to upgrade the main portion of my lan from 10 to 25/50.
>Why?
Shits and giggles - your boy got a nice Christmas bonus.
Among other 1G devices, I have 3 nodes with 2 sfp28 ports each - 2 are right next to each other, and the other is about 100ft of cable away. I have a QSW-M5216-1T-US on the way to facilitate this. Replacing the main switch and upgrading the 10g links between the two closer nodes will be trivial with dac, but my understanding is regarding the distant node, I have the choice between buying two complete AOCs, or I buy a set of 4 transceivers and running 2 patch cables to connect said transceivers to - qvl says I need a TRX-25GSFP28-SR but I'm not sure how strict that requirement is.
My questions are:
>What specific type of fiber cable do I require to wire two 25Gb transceivers together for about a 100ft run to connect the aforementioned switch to either any given mellanox connectx4/5 dual sfp28 nic or the MC13-LE3-000 + BCM57502?
>How strict are the requirements to stick with one type of transceiver on the QVL ($150 a piece for a total for 4) over a "compatible" model on amazon?
>What about DAC cables? I just about 10gTek dac for my 10g network and never had issues, but the 25g dacs on the switch QVL are over $140
>What are the pros/cons between that and just buying a complete, pre-built AOC (like 2 of these for instance https://www.newegg.com/p/3C6-01S2-00SV9)?

>>107748276
>>What specific type of fiber cable do I require to wire two 25Gb transceivers together for about a 100ft run on multimode?
Depends on the transceivers
Likely LC to LC
Get om4 uniboot armored cables, shit is so neat.
>How strict are the requirements to stick with one type of transceiver on the QVL ($150 a piece for a total for 4) over a "compatible" model on amazon?
Depends on equipment but if you can get one coded for a specific brand it'll probably work.
Switches are less picky than NICs generally. For my 10G NICs I try to get them with SFPs, if It's dual port I know I have a transceiver that's compatible with the NIC and I get one for the switch. Might catch a deal where it isn't even that much more expensive.
>>What about DAC cables? I just about 10gTek dac for my 10g network and never had issues, but the dac on the QVL is over $140
DACs should just work but limited in length
>>What are the pros/cons between that and just buying a complete
Pain in the neck to route around things with the SFP on the end.

Go do something unrelated to computers for a while. Maybe go for a run and then read a book.

I returned it because the seller had trouble trying to ship it.

>>however I think this hardware configuration might actually be slightly suboptimal for my intended use case
I do admit that I was overreacting am probably still am since I don't know if I should try to get the FHD 48gib ram, no SSD P53 with a bit of minor damage--I would make an offer and its buy it now price is $350 so maybe $325? But that is still annoying because I could have gotten that $20 off...

>If this qualifies as an extremely severe problem that reduces you to tears then presumably the rest of your life is going quite well.
Is that sarcasm or sincerity? I am just upset since I don't buy stuff often so buying someone so expensive is worrying and stressful. Every time I do something it feels like I do it wrong in a least some way. It isn't an awful thing in itself it is just that everything seems to be bad in my life at the moment and has just been getting worse over the past years. There is always so much to do and I never get it done. I hate myself and hate my life. If you didn't read everything (I don't blame you), >>107739133 and >>107739783 might add some context there is much more besides that and that I haven't added to this thread.

>Go do something unrelated to computers for a while.
I don't really want to miss anything on this thread in case I get responses to the importantish questions I have but it is alike an addiction. Not to 4chan but to talking with other people; I guess this is why people like having friends. I even have sacrificed some hours of sleep to this now and I would probably have slept a few hours ago if I didn't feel some need to be here too. I haven't really done much else today--and certainly not anything productive.

>Maybe go for a run and then read a book.
It is downpouring so reading sounds nice. I will try to get crypto and HRT right now and then read if I still have time.

>I thought Intel fixed that?
no, on newer intel cpus you can still flip the hap bit which tells the cpu that you want it to disable the ime as much as it can. whether it actually does this is up in the air because the ime itself is a black box, but the general consensus is that it does disable a lot of itself
with older intel cpus, like the ones in a lot of le epic laintranny haxxor thinkpad asthetics, could actually have their ime completely disabled. that's a lot of the reason people used those thinkpads, for their coreboot support (coreboot and the other one only work on a tiny amoutn of mobos)

anyway the ime is probably not as bad as people think it is

>Is there a reason why some Blu-ray series scramble the order of episodes on discs?
Without further information I'm going to assume it's something related to production order versus airing order. Or there's an issue with your player/software.

Publishers that publish DRM-free on bundle also publish on GOG.
GOG is a nicer site to use all around, with a better library interface, and GOG installers are "standardized" across games and publishers, so when people upload a DRM-free installer to a torrent tracker, they default to the GOG version. Because it's easy and familiar.
There's nothing significant separating it from the Humble version. The real question is "Does this publisher publish their game DRM-free?" Which site it's from is just infrastructure. And GOG does that better than Humble.

>surely they have some protection in place but i just can't find anything about it
They don't. That's literally the service you're paying for. To not be treated like a "potential thief". To do whatever with what you paid for, without being surveilled. That's the appeal and why these sites can compete with something like Steam, and why so many people choose to support that business model whenever they can.

>>107747354
>i just noticed their torrent link does have a bunch of weird values appended to it (one of them is exp=*long number*, as in expiration maybe??) so I still think maybe i'm not entirely wrong in my assumption.
That's just CDN infrastructure. It's about the act of downloading a file, any file, from THEIR server. So you can't share that identical link around forever. It's just a crude check that you clicked some "Download" button on their site recently.

Once it's on your computer, you can do whatever with the files and reupload them as much as you want. The file itself is not personalized in any way to allow tracking, even if the act of downloading it is.
You can check this if you want. Buy a game on GOG, pirate a GOG installer of the same game version. Check the file hashes. They will be identical, with nothing differentiating the two despite coming from different accounts.

>>107747354
>>107748326
>a crude check that you clicked some "Download" button
Actually, to be precise, the check is that SOMEONE clicked a download button on their site recently. That's why I called it "crude".

So you're right in the assumption that the link itself won't work forever, and that's why those aren't shared. But the files you get with that link will. No reason for warez sites to use "official torrents", when creating a .torrent file takes 2 seconds, and private trackers require their own .torrent files anyway, regadless of what the file is. It's just to decouple the act of sharing from the content. One less thing to track, since private trackers are paranoid (in a good way).
