Hey /g/eeks.
So I want to sell some HDDs and SSDs on ebay. Obviously I'm going to write zeros to them all since there is personal data on them like my passport etc.
My question is if the data can still be recovered by EMF readings? Do I just have to do it multiple times or is there no way to protect myself from that? Do people who buy memory devices just for the purpose of data recovery even have access to that kind of tech or is it too big of a hassle?
I know that /g/ is >NOT your personal tech support team or personal consumer review site.
However I didn't find anything on the wiki. I would really appreciate if you could help me out here.
>>62247842
>However I didn't find anything on the wiki.
And the rest of the internet? Surely someone else will have asked that question, no?
>>62247873
Well I didn't find anything, so I guess this shouldn't be a concern.
Still, would this be possible?
>>62247842
Use GNU/shred and your data is destroyed even for most forensic data recovery techniques.
Do long Ethernet cables affect speed and/or latency?
Not unless you're going over the specification length limit of 100 meters (328 feet)
>>62247798
Copper-based Ethernet cables can only be up to ca 150 meters long, before the signal deteriorates so much that it becomes indistinguishable from noise. This is not long enough to have any effect on latency.
The performance for light through optical fiber cables is already maxed out. The latency across the cable under the Atlantic sea is limited by the speed of light.
In theory, yes. In practice the difference is insignificant. What you should be worried about is packet loss which can occur if the cable has too high resistance.

I haven't used a single emoji ever. Not even when they were just called graphical smileys. I use smileys, sure but only the text versions.

programming is way easier than you fags make it out to be, you're really not that special, a monkey could do this.
you are the monkey
>>62247527
Any reason why you take the effort to downvote something that works? It's not like your single vote matters a lot.
>>62247527
>a monkey could do this.
Yes, you just proved that.

Hello /g/
I just installed CrunchBang Linux on my PC
Did I just get meme'd
If I did, what are some good Debian based alternatives
>why Debian?
because sudo apt-get
>>62247438
Yes, you got memed.
>apt-get
It's just apt now.
>>62247438
Try Devuan.
It's basically Debian Jessie but without the NSA/systemd backdoors.
>>62247500
>>apt-get
>It's just apt now.
Both work. GNU/Linux is about choice.

What's with the prejudice against phoneposting here?
>Look at this fag, he has a job and an actual life, what a retard
I have no job and no life and I still phonepost.
>>62247395
I too have no job or life and still phonepost.
I'm a phone bedposter.
It encourages shorter, dumber posts
I was blocking adware and spyware shit massively and I somehow blocked the whole wikia.com site (every wiki) any ideas on what could be causing it? I haven't been able to debug it
Here's my hosts
https://pastebin.com/raw/YNLV8BX1
>>62247321
Install an OS that doesn't have this problem.
Hint: It's a GNU/Linux distribution.
>>62247345
Nigga if you dont know what tf im talking about dont post
This seems to be a server problem like wikia being hosted on one of the sites I blocked
It has nothing to do with windows, retard.

I think you are the one who's oblivious to what he's doing.
Friendly reminder: You are asking for tech support on a board that explicitly forbids it.

How will they do that? Supply lower voltage than required for ac to run?
A lot of people give Win10 and Google shit for "muh botnet" and "muh lack of privacy and freedoms", and then you have people memeing "just don't do anything illegal and you'll be safe! ;v"
But I feel like even if you actually do a bunch of illegal shit on Windows 10 and through Google servers, you'd still be perfectly fine.
Has anybody ever even gotten sent to prison for doing something shady on Win10/Google before? I'm pretty sure nobody's ever gotten a knock on the door from the CIA because of a few questionable Google searches.
>>62246959
Well, since your government can change and all mined data is for ever you can be send to prison anytime in your live for stuff you already did.
People in the UK have had their homes raided because they googled for lawn fertillizer or something.
