@DragonLord I'm not yet sure if I really need it. I found out this secondary branch that I visit about once a week has a remote proxy blocking lots of non-standard ports. It only happened that yesterday I really had to use a cPanel web interface that uses some of those ports. But that's not very frquent, maybe it doesn't justify the costs.
But maybe I could rent a VPS just for the fun of learning to set it up :P
@DragonLord CPU, RAM and disk requirements (typically the biggest issues on oversold services) for tunneling are low enough that it really doesn't matter
network is the only thing to really worry about, and even the cheapest providers test out fine there
Have any of you used DNS benchmark from Gibson Security to measure DNS server performance and pick a faster one? I had REALLY MASSIVE improvements at work and really noticeable improvements at home
Well, I never used SpinRite and it sounds a bit too snakeoily to me. But the services on his site (port scanning, etc) work fine and the text explanations are clear and nice
Distributed File System (DFS) is a set of client and server services that allow an organization using Microsoft Windows servers to organize many distributed SMB file shares into a distributed file system. DFS provides location transparency and redundancy to improve data availability in the face of failure or heavy load by allowing shares in multiple different locations to be logically grouped under one folder, or DFS root.
Microsoft's DFS is referred to interchangeably as 'DFS' and 'Dfs' by Microsoft and is unrelated to the DCE Distributed File System, which held the 'DFS' trademark but was...
I collaborate with someone who insists on making every sentence (or two) in a business document into a bullet point, by prefacing it with a bullet.
This is typically done across a multi-page document, which is divided into sections with section headings.
Points which I consider real bullets th...
@OliverSalzburg In the grand scheme of things, I think the actual arrow may be a little more ambiguous than the phrase "up arrow". Otherwise, I have no complaint with the edit.
My GTX 780M permits a maximum adjustment of +135 MHz on the core clock and appears to be stable at this maximum.
GPU memory overclocking is a different matter, allowing for a maximum adjustment of +5000 MHz effective (shown as +2500 MHz on NVIDIA Inspector), but artifacts become visible from about +1040 MHz effective
@DragonLord the VRMs get ridiculously hot when pushing the RAM beyond factory clocks. while there's no solid proof that good VRMs will have a reduced lifespan because of this, it's still not a very good idea.
overclocking a laptop graphics processor is even more dangerous than overclocking a desktop one, because of the very restricted thermal profile it's running under.
and you're going to be able to achieve a lot less with OC on a laptop than on a desktop
there's also the danger that you'll experience excess heat buildup within the case that, while not hot enough to damage the GPU, could bleed over to other components with a lower tolerance for high temperatures, and damage them
because the GPU is ridiculously jammed in the laptop chassis right next to other sensitive microelectronics, whereas on a desktop, the fan of the GPU is either pointing out the back of the case, or dumping air in a stream that's basically parallel to the surface of the motherboard and several inches away from it.

Don't you love it when the UPS guy says he attempted to delever the package, but because the office is closed, he just flags it as attempt 1 instead of actually knocking on the door?
Apparently was USPS; I had a relatively large package; whats funny is I saw the guy and I think i know the reason he didn't put it in the package drop :$
I’m using my laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro and Linux (Fedora 21 atm) in Dualboot. To encrypt the device I am using BitLocker for Windows C: and LUKS for the Linux-Parititions. Furthermore I want to have an additional partition to share some data between the two Systems.
According to this list on W...
@killermist You should always vote on the merit of the post, not who posted it.
Also, serial upvotes also get detected and reversed.
In the case of serial downvoting, wait for auto-reversal (~24hrs), or if the downvoting pattern is obvious to a human but evades the detection script then you can contact the SE team about it.
According to this article, Windows removes restore points when it's assigned memory is full.
System Restore might use between three and five percent of the space
on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, it
deletes older restore points to make room for new ones. ...
