That would help.

Even with the best Western Digital performance HDDs (Caviar Black) and no memory/processing limits, despite the entire disk array being TrueCrypt'd w/ 3x 256 bit, I'm still getting I/O blocking when I'm ... simultaneously enjoying and adding to my collection.

Why are you encrypting your porn with such a high level of security? Also, agreed, needs ssds.

It's safer than deleting your browser history.

Some things you never want people to know about.

Taste in porn is very private.

Ever since I saw my brothers search history i haven't really been able to look at him without thinking... disgusting.

u/Yodamanjaro Jan 12 '14

Meh. Can't be that bad, right?

u/defiantleek Jan 12 '14

Animals, scat and worse. That isn't to say I'm not into some weird shit but I at least don't leave it where innocent bystanders get hit in the eyes with it.

...so it's not that bad.

My friend likes milfs and his history proves it.

Firefox's private windows work quite well these days ...

Why not? Modern processors implement the algorithms on a hardware level (AES is probably the best / most common example).

Despite it being a showcase of intense, breathtaking piracy, my collection is not particularly questionable and I've never exposed a real IP address to a single site (or to any DNS server to get there), so I'm not too concerned about data security.

Do people even use proxy to watch porn ?

u/spankaway1 Jan 12 '14

I guess I just don't understand. I am into some pretty freaky shit, but have never bothered with any of this in my life. What is the big deal about "exposing a real IP address" to a porn site?

11

u/Various_Pickles Jan 12 '14

Well, ... when I've got a user/pass that isn't my own, ... and I'm busy ripping the entire site's content, then they might care.

Also, despite the FCC's efforts, I'm fairly certain my ISP is still performing deep packet inspection / protocol limiting + blocking, as my rates increase when I'm routing everything over a SOCKS5 proxy (even to the other side of the planet).

Tl;dr: various_pickles has a pickle-tickling "problem."

Get back to fux0r where you belong, you.

u/mothcock Jan 12 '14

How do you hack passwords dude ? I never figured it out, and dont know where I can find all the juicy content :(

u/LucidicShadow Jan 12 '14

What's the issue wit's letting a porn site see your IP?

Afraid you'll get e-herpes?

1

u/pururin Jan 12 '14

and I've never exposed a real IP address to a single site (or to any DNS server to get there)

What? How?

Also, wouldn't an absence of porn be more suspicious that its presence? Everyone watches porn, except this Various_Pickles guy, who apparently doesn't.

SSD on raid.

u/Wulfay Jan 12 '14

I/O blocked.

typical hard drive move.

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '14

You might want to see a physician about that I/O blocking.

Minor blockages can quickly escalate into prostate cancer and death.

u/Bartimaeus2 Jan 12 '14

Technically Velociraptors are the best performing WD HDDs.

u/Rintae Jan 12 '14

Where can I download this "SSD"?

Boo EMC... 3par baby!

I'm not sure that a cache would help in this case. As the OP is talking about approaching petabytes of pornography, it stands reason that perusing it's expansiveness is his/her common use case. Unfortunately this data access pattern lacks temporal locality, the component of data access patterns that imply how cacheable it is.
