"What encryption algorithms are used?
ZeroTier currently uses 256-bit Curve25519 elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman for shared key agreement and Ed25519 for elliptic curve signatures. 256-bit Salsa20 with Poly1305 authentication is used to encrypt traffic in transit. The construction and use of these algorithms is identical to the well-regarded NaCl cryptographic library."

I could wish for 512 bit where it's available, but 256-bit ECCDH and Salsa20 + Poly1305 should be all right. I know Steve Gibson is using NaCl and ECCDH in his SQRL protocol, so should be ok. So long as implementation isn't funky, it should be good.

Technically yes. Would anybody actually attempt such a thing, doubtful.

My contract is up for renewal this March, so I'll be getting new iPhone then. Wife will get 6S or 6S plus, I'm hoping Apple releases 6C by then. I hate big screen phones.

I'm surprised how much I disliked big screen phones before I had one and how dependent I am on it now. Coworker had a 4inch iPhone that I got my hands on yesterday and felt like I was in the stone age.

My beef with big screens is that it's too big for my pockets, and too big to use with one hand. Big screens are perfect for ladies carrying the phone in a purse, I'm a pocket guy.

Get pants with bigger pockets. -- or use a Belt clip. I started out with my first cell phone being a belt clip phone (Motorola StarTac), and have since gone either way. I like belt clips right now.

I loved my Scottevest hoodie, wore it through most of college. You could stuff a water bottle, tablet, smartphone, keys, and about 20 other things in those pockets and still looks like you were carrying nothing at all.

LOL - unless it's magic, there's no way to hide that you have a water bottle, unless the jacket is SUPER loose.

It did a really good job at it. The pockets are designed to hide a medium sized water bottle. It was also super comfy even when you were loaded down with stuff. One of the best features was being able to hide your earbuds in the hood. Made many a networking/sys admin classes go faster.

Would you rather have all that stuff in a vest/hoodie or be forced to carry a man-purse? Mine vest currently has 3 sets of keys, utility knife, 10,000mah battery pack, Nexus5, 10" tablet+keyboard, 2 usb chargers and cords, mints, daily med case, 2 pen size screwdrivers, 3 pairs of reading glasses, headphones, this weeks pay stub, and my business cards. I THINK that's it, but I could easily be forgetting things.

TL:DNR Both, you want both.

Proxy servers can be used for a number of different things. Most common are local cache for popular sites and controlling what websites and/or services are made available to users. Hardware firewalls should be doing things like SPI (statefull packet inspection), IPS (intrusion prevention system), IDS (intrusion detection system), etc.

I'm really liking how easy it is to setup. Just want to see some security review by a trusted security person before I go ahead and roll it out. Anyone seen a review on it from someone like Steve Gibson, Brian Krebs, or the like?

If you haven't read up in the FAQ yet, check it out here: https://www.zerotier.com/tech_faq.shtml -- especially the security section.

What kind of use case are you seeing for it?

I've got two locations, one with the worst "high-speed" internet you're likely to find outside of satellite (good riddance to satellite!) 1 vm host and 1 backup target at each location. Ether XenServer or ProxMox running on the servers. I'm thinking I'll be able to manage most things at both sites with a jumpbox vm. Maybe even make xrdp available as well, tho that would be painful with the DSL connection (756kb/250kb actual measured 600kb/300kb.)

ZeroTier must use some kind of compression so might help with your speed issues. I have 5mbps upload at home. Did an upload test with iPerf between my house and my work office and saw 5mbps with Hamachi:

Did the same test with ZeroTier between the same endpoints:

That makes me go "What is going on here, something is not right."

I have a bad feeling the battery in my Nexus5 is starting the downward spiral. Sad to me because it's a very good phone. Wonder how hard it is to replace the battery... gotta go search ifixit.

I think I've seen that you can just pop the back off and replace it.

Not quite that easy. The connectors are underneath the internal plastic shield, so tiny driver tips are called for. Should have everything I need besides a battery tho.

Well, over the holiday I ordered a new H710 PERC controller for this new server of mine, that is still sitting dormant, waiting for Server 2016.

So the H310 will be going on eBay sooner than later.

Does anyone want to see any sort of performance numbers or anything else while I have it to play with?

Also ... is CrystalDisk in Windows a good disk speed test?

Can that H310 act as an HBA? Just present the drives to the system? Would make Linux/UNIX style software raid viable maybe.

I learned BASH shell before Microsoft had Windows for business use yet! I learned UNIX before Windows 3.11 and BASH shell many years before that.

We're showing our age here I think. I started using computers back in the days of DOS4.0, and a sysadmin on IRIX 5.4.11. Kinda scaring myself that I actually remember the exact version/subversion.

Learning about this thing called jigdo to download lots of debian packages as a single installer. Slow internet is just sad.

If you need Windows, run Linux in a VM on it and that works great

I've only got 8 of them loaded at the moment. I learned UNIX way before Microsoft started in on this thing called powershell, so I just get things done faster with that different tool set.

@anonymous I'm already a long-time member a linuxquestions.com. I've not found much else is needed.

I know there is Putty, but is there any other? Are they better?

If I'm forced to use Windows then I like to install as many command line cygwin things as I can. It's not exactly a replacement for putty so much as a whole Linux/UNIX environment within Windows.

If I'm not using the computer everyday, then whatever

Did I ever post the picture of the Christmas tree at Dominica's sister's house?

A tree is hiding somewhere in that?

@coliver I think he's talking about the suggestions for purchase. But my strategy these days if I don't have anything next on deck is to just randomly install something and play it until either I'm hooked or tired of it.

I have about ~920 installed and ready to go at this point

How many of those have you actually played? OTOH, that's saying some great things for how available games are becoming for Linux.

World of Warships, tho that one is becoming dull as I'm to the point of grinding without much upgrading. Mostly Elite Dangerous, think I'll probably pickup Horizons tonight.
