SOCKS5 based proxies are more popular among users in china.
but technically it's not encrypted tunnel but just a proxy for the convenience of visiting blocked services.
it's just less privacy friendly.

>What DOES get through the wall?
purely according to my observation: any traffic that's visiting a domain registered in a government system, && data hosted inside mainland china.
it's not a mechanism of whitelisting yet, but rather a blacklisting.
let's say when damus.io was born, every user in china can access it, then the Wall detects this unregulated traffic, it'll either automatically or manually do something like polluting the dns to make regular users hard then impossible to visit the service.

gm the censorship resistant social media nostr requires fully tunneled vpn to access from china because most of relays and clients are blocked by GFW.
and you're compromising your whole terminal's internet connection especially for the china based services.
so practically there's no way a user in china could frequently use nostr like they could access Twitter via eg, partially Sockes5 proxy, if they don't build their own relay and aggregation server.
ironically, standard vpns like Nordvpn is totally not accessible because they don't use any obfuscation for their WG alike tunnel and it's easily blocked.
Mullvad is great and accessible even tho the GFW is clearly easier to block its traffic.

there's CCTV cameras everywhere in china because of reason 1/2 you've already known that big brother is watching everything, and more important reason 2/2 is that people want to and it works because the society is in a centralized trustless mode where no one is trusting another but a centralized source of power and arbitration.
thus it comes to a quite cyberpunk society- you don't trust any stranger by instinct you meet, but you feel very secure inside, because you know nobody is gonna fuck you around.

i never left china in my 30+ years of life and i was basically growing up in the notion of Chinese people being low self esteem and accepting our inferiority compared to westerns. there's historical reasons behind.
now as the rapid growth of the country and people get access to modern lives, nationalism rises significantly among media and as the state is censoring everything that's not abiding the narrative of nation pride, it's shifting to another end of the balance. and overall, as you can probably observe, nationalism is dominating the world especially the US and China and many.
back to freedom of speech, Chinese people are basically introvert and terrible at public expressing, this character was shaped by thousands years of Confucianism and monarchy, people are not used to intellectual debate and rhetoric like what westerns have been educated since ancient Greek. but if we zoom out to human nature, people are not stupid, people always get their voices out and heard maybe not in a Socrates way, but in a more intangible and less dramatic way, and they will do anything to achieve it anyway, that's the resilience of introverted people. Well on the other hand people are always like The Crowd with their collective limits for sure.
So yeah, if I'm not an engineer I'd put it more in a anthropological way.

I was thinking the same questions as you're asking here, and I had the same logic of "not being able to openly stand against the government" == "not freedom of speech" == "this country is a dictatorship shithole" == "only the western way of revolution/overturn regime can bring peace and prosperity to this country".
this mindset of mine didn't change until i personally stepped my feet outside of china.
I'm not good at explaining this kind of macro topics, like i said, it's very complexed, complicated and difficult for an American to understand why the China can prosper with such a shiity record of deMocrAcy and humAn riGhTs, and what in hell is happening to the majority of Chinese people who live under a dictatorship regime but still support ccp, are they really retarded or what.
my genuine advice dear anon, in case you really care, is go to china to see it for yourself. the good, the bad and the ugly will naturally unfold, in a unique style.

有两个M.2 插槽可以支持RAID 吗

2026-01-03 21:21:46 UTC

maintaining a Node or a home media server with Raspberry Pi’s is really risky and pain in the ass, you have to worry about the sudden dead of the SSD, sudden offline of the machines, and a sudo apt upgrade will break some dependencies of even several containers. and more importantly you don’t have much better options to backup solutions not mentioning RAID settings on disks etc.
Think I’m finally going to try something with a x86 more powerful CPU, powered with UPS, multi drives with RAID and full disk backup management.
—For Node: Probably UGREEN DXP2800 with 2 HDD slots, for 2TB each as RAID mirror setting, 2 M.2 slots for OS redundancy and Intel N100 CPU with UPS power supply. OS I’m gonna try Start9 instead of currently used Umbrel, not ready for discrete Linux system yet because I’m too retarded and Start9 seems to be better at system level backing up.
—For NAS: DXP4800 with 4 HDD slots, 8TB HDDs are within affordability, that comes to easily 36 TB of storing space. I’ll go with TrueNAS Scale and every upper apps from Docker Containers like my RPi servers is doing on OpenMideaVault.
This is not an educational note, just a summary of my latest research, I’ll start doing it anyway.
Some more considerations taken into at the same time:
— Noise generated at my living room. It’s near bedroom I doubt whether wife will allow that since a RPi4 + RPi5 with all SSDs are already reaching a complaint level.
— CPU. Should I reserve some stronger computing power for locally deployed LLM, make it useful for home picture sorting like Google Photos.
— Access outside of home LAN. The home NAS will be a not ignorable investment, if I’m gonna make the best of it, it’s better for the whole family, and the risk and convenience of family member access, I doubt it so far, but let’s see.
Cost estimation:
- UGREEN DXP2800 = 2,000 CN¥ (290 US$)
- UGREEN DXP4800 16GB = 3,000 CNY (430US$)
- UGREEN UPS *2 = 720 CNY (102 US$)
- WD Red Plus NAS HDD 8TB *4 =8800 CNY (1260 US$)
- 2TB SSD *2 = 450 US$
- 1TB SSD, CAT7 Ethernet cables, and random stuff = 100US$
summed up = 1,200 US$
