• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    How to set up a backup system?

    If you plan to store the NAS in the fireproof safe offline then just get a big external HDD (or more than one, perhaps one per drive you have??) and just rotate it out. I would not recommend running it in the fireproof safe even if it could get cool enough, any holes you need for wires are going...

    Would PGP be the best for a secure internal email communication?

    To whether it's more practical, I can't say as I have not had much experience with S/MIME. I can say that with PGP it will be hard for people to use it with things like phones (Never looked up whether there was an email client for android/iOS that supports PGP), if it can be done it won't be as...

    Would PGP be the best for a secure internal email communication?

    PGP is an interesting one, I have tried to use it but since no one else does it kinda stopped. But keep in mind email clients like Thunderbird have built in support for PGP, letting you send email encrypted, signed, or with nothing. Plus all you have to do is setup a public facing repository for...

    How to set up a backup system?

    Ouch thats slow, I can understand why you don't want to do that with 12tb, though don't they let you do a seed backup by sending them a hard drive(s) with a backup already on it?? 12tb is a lot of space, you may have to do more than one external hard drive or you could use internal drives with...

    How to set up a backup system?

    Sense this all in your main computer I would use something like crashplan, backblaze, etc which are online backup services that are rather cheap. If you still want local I wouldn't build a server in the fireproof safe as that complicates things. Rather just keep a few external HDD and rotate...

    Suggestions for a new backup strategy

    Why not online backups?? Crashplan runs on FreeBSD and its rather cheap, even lets you use your own Blowfish encryption. You could also use Amazon Glacier storage, its rather cheap too at $0.01 per GB, free upload transfer and cheap download. 10TB is only about $10 a month plus its encrypted...

    m.2 vs normal ssd

    A true M.2 port is a PCIe port so those ssds can reach over gig speeds. This is whats inside an apple macbook pro but soldered on also in the mac pro but with a costume port. Is it faster then the 1tb ssd probably though i never looked at that SSD.

    Can a person who hack your PC, hack into your phone?

    Newer TVs (aka smart tvs) can have apps for smart phones that can act as a remote so its all http based systems, same goes for high end amps, now if his tv and amp are old then it is all in his head unless some one is using a high powered inferred beam to control it. I would have to agree...

    Can a person who hack your PC, hack into your phone?

    If a hacker has gained access to his network AND his stereo and TV both have features for using network remote (only one could but they would have to be connected and both supporting CEC). Tell him the love of god to change the default password for wifi and router admin, blus use only WPA or...

    Kinect on an HTPC

    i always have problems getting kinect working well with my PCs, I imagine it could be very easy to write some code in python that looked for input and send it as ether keyboard or in the case of XBMC, using the JSON API.

    XBMC and Cable Card Tuner

    the differences between OS in XBMC are minimal and results should be the same across all platforms. I mean I have seen it run on a android tablet streaming TV and android is a very new platform and has a lot of issues with performance already. Like I said It just got main lined so there could...

    XBMC and Cable Card Tuner

    I have only experience with TvHeadend and MythTV. Also cant blame XBMC for the backends, problems maybe due to configuration errors on one end or the other, who knows, most of the backend plugins in XBMC have been tested heavily but there could still be problems, i mean PVR just got added to...
