  • yt next?

    Jump

  • Already opened a PeerTube account. From time to time I take a look whats going on there.

  • Full disk encryption - Hibernation and unlocking

    Jump

  • Hmm, doesn't this undermine the whole purpose of encryption? If I understand that right, there will always be unencrypted stuff of me? Also when I completely shutdown?

  • Full Disk Encryption on SSD (Debian)

    Jump

  • Hehe, no stupid questions I guess! When googling about this type of stuff, I often stumble across some claims I simply cannot verify myself. Some people say it's unsafe, some people say it slows down everything and so on and some answers are from >10 years ago, so I feel the need to clarify what's the status quo. Thanks for your view on that!

  • Shredding my SSDs (NVMe) under linux?

    Jump

  • Good to know. Turns out that linux users are not lost when it comes to this topic!

  • Shredding my SSDs (NVMe) under linux?

    Jump

  • I will take that into consideration. I already encrypted my older laptop (hard drive) with LUKS. Is there something special, when it comes to encrypting SSD's? Do you experience speed losses of SSD after doing so?

  • Shredding my SSDs (NVMe) under linux?

    Jump

  • Sorry, but can you explain a little, how this is done exactly? What should I see, when everything worked correctly?

  • Shredding my SSDs (NVMe) under linux?

    Jump

  • According to the upvotes, this seems to be the way. I will try that, thank you!

  • If it's not going to be used for that, it could still be used as a good paypal alternative.

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • Let's say the torrent started with a working DNS and the issue occured some hours later. Maybe the client wants to check for IP-updates then, but won't find any, because DNS doesn't work anymore. It will still keep the IP-adresses resolved at the beginning, right? Because then it would make sense, that I saw some working torrents, even though the issue already appeared.

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • Yeah, did that. Couldn't DNS-resolve the website because of the issue, but going via direct IP of the "check-website" (found via who.is) made me at least check my IP, which turned out to be the VPN-IP. Torrent-IP-Checking won't work, because torrents seem to need at least DNS-resolving at the beginning of download.

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it may be good. Unfortunately unpredictable things can happen...

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • It may not be ideal for torrenting, but it works for me I think. Maybe that's a topic for another thread.

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • I guess I can rule that one out. FF has DNS-over-HTTPS but it's turned off. The DNS from Mullvad is usually used in my case...

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • I understand the basic concept of DNS but I am just a little unsure in which part of the process it takes effect. Thanks for your point of view!

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I will investigate it further. Do you have similar issues?

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • Interesting!

    So if I get it right: Only when starting a torrent, some DNS needs to be resolved? And when the torrent is already running not?

    So in my case a possible DNS leak occurs somewhere in the middle of the night. Not right from the beginning.

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • Thought so too. As described above, I tried pinging 8.8.8.8., which worked out. Didn't try reaching 8.8.8.8. via browser though.

    I also have an alternative privacy-friendly DNS set up in my router. Not sure, if that can be a problem. Normally, the DNS of Mullvad is used.

    But another question is: Could that be a privacy-risk? Torrenting works without DNS-resolving, doesn't it?

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I tried that with disconnecting and the torrents stopped immediately, which is good.

    Just wondering, why I cannot open any websites in the morning, while the torrents are still working...leaves a bad feeling, but maybe I'm also overreacting about this.

  • [Solved] Torrenting with mullvad - Possible leak?

    Jump

  • I am using the normal version of firefox.

    I am currently not aware of a (torrent) leak-checking method, without using the browser. How would be your approach?

    And Mullvad is very good with its killswitches.

    Yeah, I heard good things about it. Just wanting to make sure, things are going well.
