Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 2 days ago

That’s actually what I went with. A Samsung Pro Endurance and specifically for the reason you cited since it’ll be on 24/7. But 128GB was the smallest my local store had. It was only $20 USD.

I’m sure Amazon has them in smaller varieties, but I rather go to brick and mortar.

I feel I could have gone much lower for capacity and cost and it would have been a better choice for this purpose.

Agreed. Was looking for a micro SD for my Raspberry Pi and can’t find anything in local retail stores beneath 128GB which seems like overkill for my use-case.

And same for bootable flash drives. I hate having to use 64GB instead of a 8GB which are no longer easy to find in local retail stores. I’d settle for 16GB at this point!

How does "DNS" work on the dark web? (hilariouschaos.com)
 

As I understand it for the public web we all use, public DNS servers serve to guide browsers to IP addresses associated with domain names. But of course IPs change for anonymity’s sake on the dark web yet “domain names” stay the same.

How does my Tor browser know the correct route to get to the site that I am trying to visit each time and know that it is always accurate and won’t take me to a different site (assuming that the owner hasn’t changed on that site)? How does this work to keep site owners anonymous without exposing their information to anyone?
