Replacement for X server

If you set up hardware encryption, be sure to change the master password and set the security level to maximum.

Be aware, this password is different than the Physical Secure ID (PSID) printed on the front of the disk. PSIDs are used when the release to reset command doesn’t work, typically due to key issues, and the drive gets “locked”.

You use the PSID to run a revert to factory defaults command, unlocking the drive. Since this triggers the drive to release its’ key, the drive is considered “cryptographically erased” when you do this.

If you revert the drive, data on it is unrecoverable.

If you’re going to revert a drive, I suggest using a QR Code reader to get the PSID off the drive. Some venders are sadists with the font they choose making it so much fun to figure out if it’s a 1, l i I I O or 0…

It sounds like the article is an update to the age old performance issue discussions between hardware and software RAID solutions.

If you use a software solution for anything where there’s a dedicated hardware solution, the software solution is always slower due to CPU overhead.

Article recommendation boils down to: If you’re going to use encryption, and you want your full disk speed, use a hardware encryption solution. In their test their hardware supported OPAL.

No, they don’t.

SSDs, unless you buy a specifically encryption supported drive, are not encrypted. If it doesn’t indicate SED, SED non-FIPS or a FIPS certification level, the drive doesn’t have an encryption circuit.

Most of SSD already has good encryption methods

Unless you purchase a SED-non FIPS or FIPS SSD, no, they don’t

and an easy way to safely wipe data without re-writing each byte.

ATA Secure Erase is a god send for SSD.

It went from Columbus to Georgia, think the redline is to show the level of stupid. Shipping history, since he was kind enough to provide the USPS tracking number in his screenshot:

The amount of copium you transmit is incredible. I hope you one day get some help.

It’s funny how you always jump to everyone being racist. Project much? You should be better than that.

The fact that you even think this story is plausible further highlights your view that Chinese are some primitive barbarians using balloons for spying.

The fact you consider the Chinese primitive barbarians is pretty telling on your racism. Personally, I’d think a high tech solution that you might believe is undetectable would be a fantastic way to gather information, since satellites tend to travel in known trajectories so you can cover up anything interesting when you know they’ll be in the sky. You really need to check that racism there.

The most hilarious part here is how you just keep doubling down on this acting all smug. Once again, there is zero evidence for your conspiracy theory, but you keep on digging there.

Nope, not acting smug, just trying to help you understand that you misread the article.

Your statement:

“Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley told CBS News today that the so-called Chinese spy balloon that flew over the U.S. seven months ago wasn’t spying at all. (cbsnews.com)”

The two statements from that actual Chairmain of the JCS in the article:

“The intelligence community, their assessment – and it’s a high-confidence assessment – [is] that there was no intelligence collection by that balloon,”

and

“I would say it was a spy balloon that we know with high degree of certainty got no intelligence, and didn’t transmit any intelligence back to China.”

I get you have problems understanding that, since it doesn’t fit your narrative. I’m just trying to help you.

It’s ok, I understand english is hard for you. It’s confusing where the author of the article states their thought (it wasn’t spying) and the chairman of the JCS says “it was a spy balloon, it just couldn’t gather any data” is hard to follow.

The fact that the Chinese spy balloon couldn’t collect any data just shows the quality of manufacturing I guess. That or they need to work on their ability to steal technology to get it to work for them. Who knows. What it doesn’t make it is “a so called spy balloon”.

I’d say the person who can’t actually digest the article which boils down to:

• It was a spy balloon

• That couldn’t actually do its’ job

• And apparently couldn’t be controlled

would be the one “guzzling propaganda”

You are very intelligent

I’m sorry if you can’t read the stories you post, understand what they say or can’t be slanted to fit your justification for bad behavior.

The additional thing I found hilarious about the whole escapade was China not being able to use the self-destruct function. It’s almost like the balloon had all signals capabilities jammed from the moment it started drifting into US airspace… Weird.

“So called spy balloon”

Since OP can’t apparently read their own article

Milley replied, “I would say it was a spy balloon that we know with high degree of certainty got no intelligence, and didn’t transmit any intelligence back to China.”

China (poorly) performed an act of espionage and lemmygrad thinks the US government overreacted. I’m shocked.

If the management interface doesn’t support changing the fan speeds, check to see if the IPMI commands will workk for it.

Picked up an old Dell server years agonwith their IDRAC 6 interface. Turned out that version of their IDRAC didn’t support fan management, but it also accepted raw ipmi commands. Was able to slow the fans down to the point where you don’t even notice them.

¯\(ツ)/¯\ you dropped this

LTT is trying to be reliable, but they aren’t giving themselves the time to do it.

No, they are not. They are trying to pump out content, and don’t want to be held accountable for their actions, period.

If they were trying ro be reliable they wouldn’t bitch about fucking up a test, then having to spend $100-$500 in employee time to properly test.

They wouldn’t blame their fuckups on everyone except themselves.

They may make shit right in the coming days, the sad fact was it took GN calling them out to get them to stop acting like assholes.

Another vote for TrueNAS core here. Have been running it for a couple of years with no major issues.

Thank you for the info on this, will be using it going forward.

Not sure if you did this on purpose, or if something else did it as part of editing, but your bulleted steps included an en dash (–) instead of two short dashes (–).

Have had issues in the past with that, generally with WYSIWYG type editors combining your – into either – or —.

Depends on if you have a 3D printer
