The spec requires it to be symmetrical, but it's not impossible to not make it such; I've seen a USB-C HDMI capture adapter where plugging it in in one orientation resulted in USB3 operation mode, while the other way around only worked as USB2.

Also, quite a few motherboards cheat – while the port is supposed to be connected to a single controller (with a switch to make it work in both orientations), some motherboards just connect each side to a different controller, as that's cheaper (and really shouldn't cause any problems, other than the device appearing on different ports depending on cable orientation).

Aethel (npub17xt…c7ju) Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange: (npub1m7m…2e7k) Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦 (npub1afm…5gp4) Here's a thread why setting up a VPN and e-mail provider is hard:

quoting
note1x80…xmvk

Next up, a #DEFCON #VPN service sounds awesome. Like with email there is plenty of expertise on how to build VPNs. Technically it is a realistic goal, so let's investigate!

To be attractive to a large customer base you need to offer a lot of locations with an ever changing pool of addresses for when some get blocked by someone in the world.

Those two things mean you need a pool of providers and great automation playbooks where you can easily spin up and provision "secure" VPN gateways all over the world.

Because of the reliance on 3rd parties, unlike with email, you now have to worry about the legal concept of the 3rd party doctrine, so have some more lawyers ready to do battle.

Then two things happened, I spoke with two different people with experience in the VPN game. First someone who served as a CTO to a large VPN provider.

They spent all their time trying to save money, automate more, and respond to non-stop customer complaints from over seas business people. Chine would block some VPN addresses and they could no longer connect to their company back home and they needed to do that RIGHT NOW. So a sort of daily fire drill. The increasing VPN competition meant they had to keep spending on advertising and cost control.

The second person put the final nail in the coffin. They explained as far as they could tell about half of all VPN providers had ties to intelligence services. Either as fronts or investors or super friendly "partners". Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, some Middle Eastern countries, all play in this space.

This means half of the VPN providers have a different business model than the other half. Their goal is maximum people at the least cost to cast as large a monitoring net as possible, and revenue from paying customers doesn't have to actually cover your operating costs.

Building a #VPN service the right way would mean we would be more expensive, in fewer locations, and support only the strongest technologies - all things that would reduce your pool of potential customers.

So, like the private email idea, it was interesting to investigate, we learned a lot, and we will never enter the VPN market.

Instead we run free #Tor relays and support The Tor Project (npub1vwv…cqgs) Please support Tor and other privacy technologies.

Well, if they took 6 months, they'd have probably bought the drives before the prices started climbing; that still costs about 200k€, not counting servers, racks and electricity needed.

I've had so many weird problems caused by (what turned out to be) failing RAM, that I swore off regular RAM years ago. I've since only been using ECC modules. Luckily most Ryzens support ECC, though not all motherboards have all the lanes connected, so if you go this way in the future, check the specifications first (Asus and ASRock usually support ECC, Gigabyte sometimes doesn't).

(Ryzens that don't support ECC are those that start with even numbers – 4xxx, 6xxx, 8xxx series)

Of course, right now any kind or RAM is too expensive.

There's a second problem with OneDrive: if yo use Office and enable AutoSave, your file is automatically saved to OneDrive – while the old version is kept wherever you had it. I know of at least one case where this resulted in an unfinished file being submitted, because there was no indication that the file that was being worked on was only saved to OneDrive.
