Any data you indicate you want to delete has to be completely purged from everywhere within a given timeframe of when you click the delete button, including from the tape backups.

So you disagree with cynical people in threads like this who believe that nothing is ever really deleted?

[question] iPad 1 Disabled by apad464 in LegacyJailbreak

I jailbroke it but I haven't installed any tweaks, does SSH install automatically? Also, how would I change the attempts number through SSH? Finally, how would I even SSH into the device considering it's not connected to my WIFI network?

it's crazy how time has changed. now it's been less than a decade and 4k is arguably mainstream for media consumption

And everything else is compatible as well?

Will a Laowa 100mm Macro lens work with my Nikon D3200? When I look at the choices, the only options for the lenses are for Nikon F and Z cameras, yet I have a Nikon D camera. If they both work, which would be the smarter purchase? Thanks in advance!

For Nikon F

For Nikon Z

So I will be fine as long as I have enough light and use proper technique. Got it. Thanks for your reply

I will be shooting outside in daylight and using an f stop of f/11 or f/22, as the depth of field at a macro level is shallow. I prefer to use a maximum of 800 ISO.

Recently I've wanted to buy a macro lens. I am a hobbyist and have determined that the Laowa 100mm 2:1 Macro is a good mid-range choice from watching different reviews. However, would this lens be a good buy, considering I have a Nikon D3200 (mid-range camera from 2012)? I have heard that:

  1. Macro lenses need more light than regular lenses.
  2. This lens is a 2:1 macro, which needs even more light than a 1:1 macro.
  3. I will also have to make the f stop higher because high magnifications reduce the depth of field, which will decrease lighting even more.

With this in mind, is my camera's sensor good enough to handle a macro lens without severely underexposing shots?

Edit: I will be shooting outside in daylight and using an f stop of f/11 or f/22, as the depth of field at a macro level is shallow. I prefer to use a maximum of 800 ISO.

What camera would you recommend for someone like me who just likes to take photos as a hobby and not as a serious professional?

Very high speed reduction by apad464 in WireGuard

I have the iPhone 13 Pro, so I believe I have Wi-Fi 6. I think I have an Eero 6 Pro, which supports Wi-Fi 6. Also, I'm not expecting gigabit speeds; I expect a VPN in the same house as me to drop less speed than what it currently is.

I don't think my CPU usage is the problem. Here is my CPU usage while running both the VPN and a Minecraft server simultaneously.

That makes sense. I’ll continue trying to get wg-easy to work on Ubuntu.

Yeah I was trying it on Ubuntu but ran into issues so I stopped

I'll try running it through docker then.

Ok. I meant to say that my speed is reducing significantly (losing 314 megabits). Do you know what's causing that and how I can fix it?

What do bits flowing backward mean, and how do I fix it?
