    New Build, Ryzen + nVidia SFF

    It's been almost eight years since my last build and it is time to build a new one. This time I plan to go even smaller having recently acquired an ncase M1. I'd love to get feedback from the community to sanity check the build and make sure I'm not doing something dumb here. The plan is it use...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    Is this with stock voltages and PBO enabled/stock ? I'm in the middle of considering a 3700X + NH-L9A + Dan A4 SFX myself and I'm just trying to figure out to expect. I'm getting the sense that this setup is very borderline based on what I've been reading. Thinking of dropping to a 3600.

    crowdfunded router idea (truly open source)

    A simple "No, it hasn't shipped", would have been sufficient.

    Acronis has gone to pot. What's the best backup software now?

    Maybe its worth reconsidering your entire back up strategy and use file level backup tools instead. File level backup tools are nice as they don't lock you in to a proprietary backup system to recover your files. The back ups are still readable via standard tools (they are just files after...

    What do you do to test new hard drives?

    Agreed. Out of all the computer parts I've worked with in my career, HDDs are the ones I've had to RMA the most. It makes sense to be honest as they are one of the few moving parts in a PC.

    Two Networks One IP

    You can run two subnets in the same broadcast domain (i.e. without VLAN). I wouldn't recommend it but it can be done. If both subnets need WAN access it will require a router that allows you assigning an arbitrary number of addresses to a single interface. Probably would need an aftermarket...

    TEMPEST is a NATO program dedicated to understanding and mitigating nonstandard and side channel exfiltration of data. TEMPEST mostly deals with hardware that is operating properly, beyond that there are also ways of compromising machines so that data can be exfiltrated in the presence of a...

    Looking for (wired) router/firewall recommendation

    iptables and pf are both stateful firewalls. It may not have DPI, do transparent proxy other fancy UTM features, but I disagree with the statement that they are not firewalls.

    Looking for (wired) router/firewall recommendation

    Just checking my ERL with 1.6.0 firmware, root device is mounted ext3 with journaling and barriers enabled that should be pretty resilient to power loss corruption. I've never had a problem with mine losing power and not coming up.

    Binary file compare utility for Windows

    Hashing is the slowest way to compare files. Comparing hashes requires you to read both files in their entirety before making a comparison. Contrast with the process below. Check the file size, if different files are different and done. Check modification time, if different treat files as...

    batch file - local variables not comparable?

    Can you write a minimal, complete and verifiable example. I was unable to reproduce your issue on Windows 7.

    Binary file compare utility for Windows

    diff from diffutils can do this no problem. The standard invocation is smart enough to detect binary files and give a simple yes/no answer. Otherwise you can force it to give a yes/no only with a '-q' option. diff [file1] [file2] Pretty sure there are Windows ports available.
