I have a couple hard disks I want to nuke before recycling them.
Should I use DBAN's default autonuke (3 pass DoD), something lighter or something heavier?

1 run should stop anyone except fbi or nsa from recovering anything useful.
>>51741136
because that thread doesnt show up when you search SQT in the catalog. also it's 18 hours old.
>>51741560
1 run on dban 3 pass should be fine. i never give up old hard drives though.
although it would be 100 times easier if you just opened them and broke the platter.
>>51741623
>1 run should stop anyone except fbi or nsa from recovering anything useful.
cool, thanks.
should I fill it with zeros or do random numbers?
>>51741650
>it would be 100 times easier if you just opened them and broke the platter.
I'd gladly take a hammer to the disks but I have many of them, and some of them are next to impossible to open because the screws are really tight and my screwdriver is stripping cones into them. Not worth the effort IMHO (but I AM recovering the rare earth magnets from the ones I can open)

If you're recycling them, just microwave them or put a few drill holes through'em. fuck dban.
>>51741758

it doesn't here, but other places like fagbook do.
>>51741789
OK, just wondering. I remember people using EXIF to fuck people over a lot more a few years ago, and almost not at all nowadays.
>>51741740
No grinder, and opening them would be pretty tedious (see >>51741674)
The reason I'm getting rid of them is because of SMART tests starting to fail, and me not trusting their reliability as an effect of that.

I have some plans for my home server.
I'm thinking of making its dedicated part a fileserver, only accessible over direct IP (which will be the most sensitive part of the server only I will ever need access to). A virtual server (on the same box) will have the web server, with the IP of the server masked by Cloudflare. This way my virtual server is contained (security) and backups (snapshots) will be easy to maintain from the dedicated part of the server (fileserver).
I used to just have it all on one dedicated server. So if there was some 0-day exploit to gain root access through some stupid script or something I would be fucked.
Thoughts?

It's not stripped on 4chan like others have said, it does on imgur. If you have Photoshop, just open it up and crop/resize if necessary and export it, taking care that you change the setting for "Metadata" from "All" to one of the options that don't include EXIF, probably the best option is "None".

looking to set up a family member with a way to listen to music, problem is they're tech-illiterate. Are any of the free versions of streaming services (spotify, play, etc) any good? I can't be assed to fill their android device with what they like, and they certainly don't know how to use torrent software or anything.
From what I can tell, most of the streaming apps just give you radio playlists on free versions, and you have to pay up to be able to listen directly to the albums you want.

Spotify allows you to listen to whatever you want, albums/playlists/individual songs/etc/ but the ads are very annoying. It's worth it to pay for, I find. Then again I hate ads, so maybe it would be fine for someone who doesn't mind them.

>>51744062
buy things that can double as support for school and work, hold off on excessive things until you're stable.
This might be a little more complicated than /sqt/ can normally handle, but it feels kind of stupid to me. My parents got a new modem from the cable company which is capable of 100 Mbps, a significant upgrade over their old 25 Mbps speeds. There's a Netgear router hooked up to the modem by means of ethernet cord, and then a Thinkpad T410 is hooked up to the router, also by means of an ethernet cord. Elsewhere in the house, my sister's 2013 MBP, a small HTPC I recently built for them and an old Dell prebuilt are connected via wireless.
Now, here is the weird part. For some reason the T410s can get speeds of 100 Mbps or higher over the ethernet cord, but none of the other computers can achieve anything over 30 Mbps via wireless. Once the T410s is taken off the ethernet, it too is limited to about 30 Mbps. All machines are wireless-N capable and the router says it is broadcasting at 180 Mbps. What the hell am I doing wrong? Why is it being throttled?

It's a Netgear WNDR3700. I've checked online and the thing seems half-decent, in theory it should be capable of 600 Mbps. I'm completely fucking bewildered since it's basically operating at 5% of that.
I don't know too much about the setup, I haven't lived at home since graduating university 2 years ago. But I'm pretty sure all they've done is swapped out the old WRT54G with this Netgear thing, and then swapped out the old cable modem with a new one.

>>51744977
All the machines have bad wireless cards? I doubt that. Besides, my laptop's wireless card works fine, I know that for a fact, and even IT slows right down on this network. If there was some sort of communication issue, I would imagine the T410s would be affected over ethernet, but it isn't. Stranger still, it seems only download speeds are affected; all computers can achieve 15 Mbps up speed.

Most of those reviews are from Rapserri Pi owners, so it makes sense for them. People were also complaining that a negative feature of that adapter is extremely short range, so that eliminates using it from across a house.

How can I add a tab after a bullet point? If you're on the line with the bullet, pressing tab simply increases the indent level of the bullet.
I want to just insert the whitespace character so as to align values, you know? Like

- stuff [tab][tab] moretext
And then 'text' and 'moretext' will be aligned

Should I update every time there's a new update for my GPU? Every now and then I hear stories of something something doesn't work and shouldn't update. My GPU isn't new, like 2013 old.
>>51748460
Is everything working fine? If yes I'll say don't bother.
When my gpu goes up to ~80oC I get "drivers stopped working" error. What gives? It didn't throttle, just threw that error at me. The card is a used r9 280x windforce.
Also should I get better exhaust fans so that they can pull hot air out faster? The 2 top fans are pretty shitty and the back one came along with my case.

People are saying it's not stripped on 4chan. This is false. It has been for quite some while now. It was indeed the case that it was not stripped, but it is now.
So, i really *really* badly need an IP subnet mask calculator where you can freely enter the desired amount of hosts in the network and which then shows you the whole calculation/equation process explained in as much detail as possible afterwards black on white - NOT just the blank result itself without any explanation whatsoever to go with it.
Does something like this even exist? If so, where?

I found something earlier but you can't freely chose the exact amount of hosts with that particular one and the explanation of the result itself isn't as detailed/sound as i want it to be
Just about any kind of calculator with an in-built result explanation will do really, or at least one that presents the result in a way that makes it kinda look like you could've actually calculated it for yourself or something

i'm not sure if mp4 supports subtitles, though can always leave them as a seperate file (if the situation allows it), or burn them in (that is, make the text a permanent part of the video itself)

How the hell do I find out what piece of hardware is failing on me? I think a piece of hardware in my PC burned out, after the computer turned off a couple of times when playing a new game, and after I downloaded a temp monitoring system, the temps got fairly, on most of the parts.
Ever since then, my PC has been freezing, and I have to force shutdown every time, and it's happening all the time, with no rhyme or reason. Sometimes it runs for hours, sometimes it doesn't. Last night, it froze immediately after startup.
Pic related, it's what my reliability report looks like. Bear in mind it's missing the one that happened 10 minutes ago, after half an hour runtime.

>>51750623
A long time ago, computers were these massive, hulking beasts of complex and expensive parts with not even an eighth the power of your phone.
They filled up a whole room, and thus couldn't be placed just anywhere.
The solution to this was to have little places to interact with the computer, called terminals. Terminals accessed the big computer, known as a mainframe.
The terminal merely displays information from the mainframe. The terminal/mainframe idea died out as personal computers became popular.
SSH and Telnet are the closest surviving examples of terminals. These protocols allow you to interact with a remote computer through a command-line interface, like the ones used with mainframes.
To understand the modern terminal used by Unix/Linux, it helps to remember that Graphical User Interfaces (you know, where you point and click with a mouse) are just programs that run on top of the terminal. The terminal is really the heart of input-output on these systems.

Seems like you caught yourself there mate.
>>51750735
To isolate the part, try the following:
Do a graphics rendering test.
Search logs for what is failing.
Attempt to run a LiveCD of another operating system on your computer.
If the graphics rendering test fails repeatedly, it is your graphics card.
Logs may indicate the first thing to break. It could be bad ram allocation, HDD error, or an OS-related error.
Running a LiveCD will eliminate the possibility of it being your HDD or OS.
Finally, you're not getting any unusual temperatures, are you?
Best of luck.

Is the graphics rendering test a stress test? If so, I've ran them before with no problems. I didn't run it for long though, only 10 minutes. Should I leave it until it automatically stops? I've also ran a memory test, but that came back all aces.
At the moment, none of the temps are higher than nominal.
I'll try the LiveCD. Is there any specific one I should try?
The following answers should be correct.
Why is it getting dropped ? Shouldn't it be unicast & flood ?
>>51751065
If your stress test includes some sort of graphics testing method and isn't purely CPU testing, then that's fine.
Most Linux distros work well for LiveCD. Ubuntu and Linux Mint are known for working well out the box, try using their GUI's as well as just idling in a black terminal (activated in Ubuntu through one of the F1-F12 keys).
>>51751073
>Shouldn't it be unicast & flood ?
Given the state of the CAM table, yes.
>>51751145
and under what logic should the frame be dropped ?
My K53sc laptop temps are ridiculously high even when idling. I took it apart and cleaned it recently and it seemed to be alright, but now its gone to exceeding 90°C. Should I reseat the CPU/GPU with some fresh TP?

>under what logic should the frame be dropped
Unless I'm missing something, the question says only to consider the source and destination addresses as well as the CAM table. If that port is on it's own vlan (the only port on that vlan) it would be dropped as the switch doesn't flood to the source port.
>>51751169
It shouldn't, default behavior is to flood all ports when the destination is unreachable. I can't think of a case where it would drop as part of intended operation.
>>51751222
No VLANs here.
