>After the recent Paris terror attacks, the French government is proposing to forbid and block the use of the Tor anonymity network, according to an internal document from the Ministry of Interior seen by French newspaper Le Monde.
>That document lays out two proposed pieces of legislation, one around the state of emergency, and the other concerning counter-terrorism.
>In the former, the French government is considering to “Forbid free and shared wi-fi connections” during a state of emergency. This comes from a police opinion included in the document: the reason being that it is apparently difficult to track individuals who use public wi-fi networks.
>The latter piece of legislation, meanwhile, says the government is considering “to block or forbid communications of the Tor network.” The legislation, according to Le Monde, could be presented as early as January 2016.

General BSD thread, what BSD do you like to use and why?
I like to use FreeBSD because I'm comfortable and familiar with it due to my usage of FreeNAS. FreeBSD makes an excellent desktop operating system with a little bit of work.
>>51724709
>mac os x
That's a stretch...
Anyway, that's the one I'm using. But wouldn't call it a BSD. BSDs are UNIX by heritage, OS X is UNIX by certification and only has some FreeBSD code sharing.

Pretty much failing my Organic Chemistry classes. Don't really think Chemical Engineering is for me.
Want to switch to Computer Science. I want to eventually program stuff and be a software programmer. Is this the right major to switch into or is it just a meme major?

What are closed loop water coolers for if they perform worse than air coolers but cost more?
>>51724504
So people can act like they have a custom water cooling setup without actually making a full loop.
It's about keeping temperature fluctuations to a minimum amplitude. You'll notice that idle and load temperatures are at a smaller delta than air. Pure air setups can be a lot louder at times than closed loop.
>>51724665
>Pure air setups can be a lot louder at times than closed loop
And CLCs can be a lot louder than any decent air cooler 100% of the time. There is no CLC in existence that can offer the noise levels of a huge dual tower air cooler with decent fans. Pump noise is unavoidable.

Clearly you have. Install Gentoo instead.
Hey /g/, what is all this "not running as root" bullshit?
If I run a program under my limited account, it will have 100% access to pretty much everything anyway: reading, changing and deleting anything in my home folder (the only place I care about), sending whatever the fuck it wants to whoever the fuck it wants without asking etc. It will also be able to read 99% of system files.
This "do not run as root" is such bullshit, what the fuck is wrong with you all? You are deluded. And the funniest part is, when a program wants you to run as root - you WILL run is at root anyway! Because you already made a decision to run it in the first place.
"but you may damage the system" well who gives a fuck about your shitty system, it can be reinstalled any moment anyway, it has zero value unlike my own data which is not protected at all.
The only way to be sure is to run shit from a separate limited user account that has no access to your files at all. Unfortunately, linux is such a shitty system that it doesn't even let you set ACLs by default, you need to install and configure a lot of stuff before you can start using it. chmod is such bullshit, it's useless.
>>51723769
>Because you already made a decision to run it in the first place.
If it's some drive-by download malware that you never gave the command to run, having it run as a limited user limits the things it can do to sink its claws into the machine. You're thinking of this from the wrong direction. Limited user privileges aren't a be-all end-all defense, they're one part of a defense-in-depth strategy to make life harder for an intruder at every step along the line. That intruder won't necessarily have done something to alert you to the possibility that he's there, like having you make a decision to run a program.

This only make sense in a multiuser environment. Like, really multi user. To contain the damage one user can do to the rest of the system. It does not protect the user himself in any way and it's all zeroed the moment you give him sudo rights.

Is custom loop water cooling actually worth it in terms of silence if you're not a heavy overcocker.
I mean, some look pretty slick, but for the CPU you can just slap on an NH-D15 or whatever and it's dead silent.
For the GPU most cards now don't even spin the fan under light load and I presume under heavy load, you would also have noise with water cooling.
I'm especially worried about pump noise and maintenance when you want to add radiators or swap CPU or graphics cards. I assume it's a huge pain in the ass to drain the whole loop first and then refill everything again?
You basically answered your own question, friend.
>>51723697
>water cooling
>silence
Pick only one. Nobody has ever claimed that water cooling is quieter than high end air cooling. You go water for the temperatures and overclocking potential, not silence.
>>51723697
Don't bother. The biggest benefit of liquid cooling is with multi-GPU setups. On air, the first GPU will be choked or will be sucking in hot air. Liquid cooling solves this.
However, it does look sexy.

is there a way to use this piece of micro$oft spyware for playing games but without connecting it to a network? just got a new one, and setup demands that it connects to a wireless or wired network. wtf?!
Return it, get a ps4
>>51723499
AFAIK, you have to let it connect once for account authentication and updates... once you get those and as long as you dont play any MP games, you can isolate it and play. I believe you have to let it connect every 30 days or so.
>>51723516
no u dont lmao
you have to connect once to update then thats it
