Anything with an sfp slot and a decent "optic" should blow tp-link's link stability out of the water. In about the same price range, have you tried mikrotik?
That is one I have not tried. Looks like its HQ is in Latvia. The GPERx6 looks interesting. I might give them a try. That RDS2216 also looks interesting. 20 U.2 NVMe storage slots. Nice...
In unconfigured emacs, you can literally just go Buffer>Save in the toolbar. If you didn't know to look in the buffer menu, then you didn't read even a little bit of the tutorial that appears when you open it
The extra unused memory might even act as shielding to cosmic rays, but the extra electrical load on the memory controller might more than balance that out for unbuffered sticks
Seedvault is the /worst/. I ranted about it here a few months ago, and the lead dev says he's aware they really need something better: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42541520
Exactly this. Hell, for OP's use case of accessing things like twitter, a good old fashioned https proxy would be entirely fine, and likely not even illegal.
what i was thinking. DPI might pick up on proxy headers.
alternatively, idk how far one would get just slapping wireguard or openvpn on a VPS somewhere on port 443. that used to work fairly well but i suppose my experience there is like 10+ years out of date by now.
i know a US based tech firm i worked for around 2020 had a simple HTTPS proxy for chinese clients to download content updates. worked really well. it was hosted on some cloud provider and accessible via DNS name. so its not like it wasn't easy to block it. they just didn't bother or it was lost in a sea of other similar activities.
that all being said, regarding oppressive regimes and political turmoil situations:
if your health or freedom is at risk, don't rely on internet people's 'guesswork' (hard to tell where ppl get their info from, and what its based on etc.). be careful. if you are not confident, don't go forward with it. Try to get advice from local experts instead, who are familiar in the specific context you are dealing with.
If you use the -m flag with enroll-keys, won't that also load the MS keys, which the Nvidia firmware should be signed by, allowing verification to pass?
Probably. There's also a Lenovo key in there, I believe, which sbctl probably doesn't know about.
My laptop is out of warranty and I'm not interested in starting a legal battle should the firmware bug persist and soft brick the motherboard, so I'm not going to try it.
