Enable Tor on Android over WiFi

https://youtu.be/CU3qcsOIwF8 In this video I show you how to enable Tor on Android with Orbot and prove that the Google Chrome browser is using a real Tor IP address instead of my public IP. Not all applications are guaranteed to route its traffic over the Tor network but as you can see in my video, the browser Google Chrome is using Tor. If you want to create a separate entry in your Wireless connection list on your phone so you know which one is what, I recommend creating another wireless SSID with the same settings but with a different name (ie: know1-5g-tor). The phone in the video is a stock unrooted Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7. It is not browser dependent and you don't absolutely need to use OrFox although it is recommended and this is for demonstration only. Orbot is a free … [Read more...]

SQL Server Disk Partition Alignment

The default alignment of 31.5Kb on Windows Server 2003 can lead to enormous I/O performance problems with SQL Server (see Are your disk partition offsets, RAID stripe sizes, and NTFS allocation units set correctly?). I thought it would be useful to do a quick blog post showing how to use the diskpart and wmic tools. Google them for lots of info from the Microsoft site – but be careful not to play around with any of the destructive options on productions systems. The options I'm using below will not alter the disks in any way. Note: This stuff applies to MBR disks, not GPT or dynamic disks. Although these require correct alignment too, I don't have any information on how to do it for those disks. The SQLCAT team will be publishing some guidelines but has not yet done so, AFAIK.
