I've been wanting more screen space and was wondering it was better to get a big fuck off monitor or multiple monitors. And if I get multiple where's the sweet spot?

Multiple big fuck off monitors

Why are you using such a shitty resolution?
Are you running a VM?
>>54240120
No it's just because I have dual screen but took a screenshot of one monitor only
What are effective approaches to securely cleaning up "permanently" deleted data on an SSD?
Is it possible to recover a deleted block after the firmware overwrites it?
If so, would filling the SSD to the brim by copy-pasting a large file work (since all blocks marked "empty" will be overwritten)?
Discuss.
>>54275094
Drop the SSD in a volcano, they will never get your data.
>>54275094
Nearly impossible because you don't have access to the spare area.
The only solution is to use 100% encryption, ALWAYS.

I've been playing with cisco routers these days and i managed to copy my running-config to tftp server that i installed at my home pc. Everything works perfect but it made me think,
What's the point of tftp server and startup-config on it for the router if my router is in blank state aka can't access anything?
>>54278117
Not Pajeet sir, no sir

Cantcp_try_undo_lossbe (wrongly) called in scenarios other than reordering. I don't really know the gory details in the Linux kerne;, but my best guess is that it discovers that it falsely triggered fast recovery when it receives the final DSACK, but can the same scenario be triggered in any way that is not because of reordering?
My sister wants to get a laptop for general facebooking. What manufacturer should she go for?

Does encrypted container count? I have a 5gb container that has all my passwords for various sites and aervices.
Maybe some hardcore porn would surprise some I know. Other than that I'm good.

Every time I want to delete a node from a linked list. I pop the entire list to a buffer sequentially and then re-push it back in reverse minus one item.
How does that make you feel?
mac = Self Driven Car
pc = automatic car
lynix = manual car
accurate description?
What an utterly useless thread.
Op == dumb

So apparently submarines are capable of connecting to wide area networks from the sea.
I asked my cisco teacher how they do it and he couldn't tell me.
Does one guy have to get out and plug it in?
>>54273018
It's probably a satellite based connection, since submarine Internet is quite slow
>>54273049
damn i thought they were hooking up to the cables under the sea.
That makes a lot of sense, fucking submarines.
They just use the undersea cables. They tap them for mass surveillance anyway.
