• 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.

DC for your internet :D

i hope this is topical enough to stay here :p
"The simple version: Tor provides a distributed network of servers ("onion routers"). Users bounce their TCP streams (web traffic, FTP, SSH, etc.) around the routers. This makes it hard for recipients, observers, and even the onion routers themselves to track the source of the stream.

The complex version: Onion Routing is a connection-oriented anonymizing communication service. Users choose a source-routed path through a set of nodes, and negotiate a "virtual circuit" through the network, in which each node knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. Traffic flowing down the circuit is unwrapped by a symmetric key at each node, which reveals the downstream node."


from what i understand, the more clients the better security. If you can be a server, that's even better (for speed, i guess.)
check it out, y'all.

I always wanted slower internet, and I love to waste bandwidth
 
Sure there is... Can't you read the title of this forum!? "F@H Forum!!" Geez...

I mean... whoops... DC, yeah... carry on.

In all seriousness though, that is an interesting concept. More security is never a bad thing. Don't have the bandwidth to act as a server for that though. Neat stuff...
 
Interesting enough concept, but I didn’t make the connection (really, no pun there) between the post and DC.
 
It seems to be more of a "distributed network" as opposed to "distributed computing." Same kind of concept, you are just using a broad range of network resources as opposed to CPU resources.

Click to expand...
yeah it is cool, i wish i could be a sever; sadly, i am a normal cable internet user :p

yeah, i guess this is more distributed networking, as opposed to distributed computing...but i guess it fits under DC, b/c you have to compute for networks to work...but w/e...
