Founded in , Cracked proved to be the most durable of the many publications to be launched in the wake of Mad magazine. In print, Cracked conspicuously copied Mad's layouts and style, and even featured a simpleminded, wide-cheeked mascot named Sylvester P. Smythe on its covers see Alfred E.
The Smythe character was referred to as Cracked's janitor. Unlike Neuman, who appears primarily on covers, Smythe sometimes spoke and was Byte magazine was a microcomputer magazine, influential in the late s and throughout the s because of its wide-ranging editorial coverage.
Whereas many magazines from the mids had been dedicated to the MS-DOS PC platform or the Mac, mostly from a business or home user's perspective, Byte covered developments in the entire field of "small computers and software", and sometimes other computing fields such as supercomputers and high-reliability computing.
Coverage was Popular Mechanics is a classic magazine of popular technology. First published January 11, , by H. Windsor, it has been owned since by the Hearst Corporation. There are nine international editions, including a now-defunct Latin American version that had been published for decades, and a newer South African edition. Popular Mechanics features regular sections on automotive, home, outdoors, science, and technology topics.
A recurring column is "Jay Leno's Garage" featuring Magazines and periodicals dedicated to computers manufactured by Commodore International , including the PET, Commodore 64, Amiga, and other related models. Audited circulation in June was , copies monthly. The magazine was started in by Frank Packer as a weekly publication. The first editor was George Warnecke and the initial dummy was laid out by WEP William Edwin Pidgeon who went on to do many famous covers over the next 25 years.
The Weekly celebrated its 50th anniversary of It was known for its strong emphasis on technical articles and for the lengthy editorials in each issue by its founder and publisher, Wayne Green. The magazine title, 73, means "best regards" in amateur radio lingo. Green, a former editor of CQ Amateur Radio magazine, published the first issue of 73 in October At that time, the Warren Publishing was an American magazine company founded by James Warren, who published his first magazines in and continued in the business for decades.
Begun by James Warren, Warren Publishing's initial publications were the horror-fantasy-science fiction movie Electronics Australia or EA was Australia's longest-running general electronics magazine. It was based in Chippendale, New South Wales. It can claim to trace its history to when the Wireless Weekly magazine was formed. Its content was a mix of general and technical articles on the new topic of radio.
In April the magazine became monthly and was renamed Radio and Hobbies. As its name suggests, it was a more technical publication for hobbyists, but it also featured articles on TSR, Inc.
The weekly magazine is available in print and online, reporting on the aerospace, defense and aviation industries, with a core focus on aerospace technology. It has reputation for its contacts inside the United States military and industry organizations. The publication is sometimes informally called "Aviation Leak and Space Mythology" in defense The scientific discoveries and technological innovations produced by Bell System research and engineering were critical not only to the evolution of global telecommunications but, more widely, they had a considerable impact on the technological base of the global economy and, indeed, on our daily lives.
Bell Labs is the source of many significant contributions, of course, in the area of telephony, but also in memory devices, imaging devices, system organization, computers and software Magazines and periodicals dedicated to computers manufactured by Apple Computer Inc. The paper is distributed through free news-stands, often at local eateries or coffee houses frequented by its targeted demographic. The newspaper reported a readership of , The Chronicle was co-founded in by publisher Nick Barbaro and editor Louis Black, with assistance from others who largely met through the graduate film studies program at the University Vampirella is a fictional character, a comic book vampire superheroine created by Forrest J Ackerman and costume designer Trina Robbins in Warren Publishing's black-and-white horror comics magazine Vampirella 1 Sept.
Writer-editor Archie Goodwin later developed the character from horror-story hostess, in which capacity she remained through issue 8 Nov. From Wikipedia: Compute! In its s heyday Compute! The most successful of these was Compute! The magazine's original goal was to Y gracias tanto a los grupos de apoyo entre usuarios, las Future Sex Archive is here. The magazine was glossy with four-color printing and featured articles, interviews, reviews, erotica, and erotic photography celebrating the zeitgeist of technological revolution, body modification, sexual liberation, and the mainstreaming of sexual proclivities previously considered taboo—from bondage to fetishes to "teledildonics.
Its self-titled magazine has over 3 million subscribers and is read by 23 million people each week, including over 18 million men. It was the first magazine with circulation over one million to win the National Magazine Award for General Excellence twice. Its swimsuit issue, which has been published since , is now an annual publishing event that generates its own television shows, videos and calendars.
Neo Geo Freak is a Japanese-language magazine dedicated to the Neo Geo arcade systems and home console, published in the s. PC Zone, founded in , was the first magazine dedicated to games for IBM-compatible personal computers to be published in the United Kingdom.
The precursor to PC Zone was the award-winning multiformat title Zero. The magazine was published by Dennis Publishing Ltd. In July it was Smash Hits was a pop music magazine aimed at teenagers and young adults, featuring lyrics, photographs, interviews and news related to celebrity music acts in the UK Later offshoots arrived in the US and Australia. After an initial test issue, the magazine started publishing in , switching to a fortnightly schedule after three issues, and finally closing up in Scientific American informally abbreviated SciAm is a popular science magazine.
It is notable for its long history of presenting science monthly to an educated but not necessarily scientific public, through its careful attention to the clarity of its text as well as the quality of its specially commissioned color graphics.
You can verify that the public key was correctly generated by comparing it to the key on the Mullvad website that you generated earlier. Repeat this process for as many tunnels as you want. Each tunnel will get its own peer. You can add a "Peer" by first navigating to the "Peer" tab next to the "Tunnels" tab that you were just on.
Then click on "Add Peer. Repeat this process for as many peers as you have tunnels. At this point, you should be able to navigate to the "Status" tab and observe the handshakes taking place by clicking on "Show Peers" in the lower right-hand corner.
After all of your tunnels are added, click on the blue hyperlink next to each added tunnel to configure the interface. After clicking on "Add A New Gateway," you will be presented with the below pop-up dialog.
Once you are back at the interface configuration page, click on "Save" at the bottom of the page. Then click on "Apply Changes" at the top of the page. Repeat that process to create a gateway for each tunnel interface you added. Make sure you use the correct Mullvad configuration file for each one as they all contain different host IP addresses. At this point, you can navigate to your dashboard and monitor the status of your gateways.
If you have not done so already, you can customize your dashboard to monitor several stats in pfSense. On my dashboard, for example, I have three columns, starting with the "System Information. In the third column, I have the "Gateway" status and "Services" status.
This way, I can quickly check and monitor the status of all sorts of things. What I want to point out about the dashboard is that in the "Gateways" section, you will notice that all of the gateways are online. The gateways will be online so long as the tunnel is active, even if the remote side is not responding. This is because they are the local interface, so right now they are useless since even if the remote side goes down, they will still show as online.
In order to enable the ability to monitor latency so that these gateways can provide some useful stats, I need to give these gateways a public domain name system DNS address to monitor.
You'll notice that all the tunnel ping times are zero milliseconds. That's because I'm not sending any data out through these tunnels.
By pinging a public DNS server, pfSense can get some useful metrics and make decisions about which tunnel will provide the least latency or if a remote server goes down to reroute traffic.
Watch for the recorded uptime percentage, the more the better. Each gateway will need a separate DNS address to monitor. Click on the pencil icon next to your gateway. That is why the ping time is zero milliseconds and this is also why pfSense will think the gateway is always up.
Then click on "Apply Changes" at the top of the screen. Remember, gateways cannot share the same DNS monitor address so use a different public DNS server for each gateway to monitor.
Now, if you go back to your dashboard and look at your gateway monitor, you should see that there are some actual latency metrics to observe.
With this information, you can set up your gateways in order of priority based on which ones have the lowest latency for your internet traffic. So, for example, if you are mining Bitcoin, then you will want to prioritize your ASICs to go through the tunnel with the lowest latency first. Then if that tunnel fails, the firewall can automatically switch them to the next tier gateway with the second to smallest latency and so on.
Everything is looking good so far, the tunnels are active and there is data going through the gateways. Next, we need to define some outbound network address translation NAT mapping on the firewall. Repeat this process for each of the tunnel interfaces. You can set a mapping for your mining LAN to all five of your tunnels if you want.
You can also have multiple LANs mapped to the same tunnel if you want, there is a lot of flexibility. With the mappings all in place, we can add firewall rules. For example, I'm setting up my "LANwork" network in this screenshot:. In a later step, I will show you how to set up the automatic load balancing between tunnels for the mining LAN which will replace the two rules I just added to "LANminers," but I want to make sure everything is set up and working correctly first.
To double check that everything is working so far and that each of my LANs is getting different public-facing IPs, I will enter "ifconfig. If everything is working correctly, then I should have different locations for each LAN I plug into and ping from:. Everything worked as planned, first try. While connected to each LAN, I was able to disable the corresponding firewall rule and refresh the page and watch my IP address change back to my actual rough geographic area.
If you recall, I had set up two tunnels for my "LANminers" network. When I disabled the one firewall rule corresponding to the Miami tunnel and refresh my browser, it immediately switched to an IP address in Seattle. So, each LAN is sending traffic through a different tunnel and all of my tunnels are working as expected. However, in regards to my "LANminers" network, I want pfSense to automatically switch between the Miami and Seattle tunnels based on latency or downed servers.
With a couple more steps, I can get this configured to switch automatically and replace the two firewalls rules with a new single rule. Now, this gateway group can be used in a firewall rule to policy route that traffic accordingly. Go ahead and disable the two rules you set up previously for testing the VPN tunnels by clicking on the crossed out circle next to the rule.
Click on "Apply Changes," then click on "Add" at the bottom. To test this, plug a laptop into your dedicated Ethernet port on your network card for your mining LAN. This is "igb3" in my case. Make sure your WiFi is off. Open a web browser and type "ifconfig. The results should put you in the location of one of your VPN tunnels. In my case, it was Miami. At the very top of that configuration page, uncheck the box for "Enable Interface. This has just disabled the Miami tunnel that my LANminers was sending traffic through.
Back on the laptop, refresh the browser with the ifconfig. It should now be putting your location in Seattle, or wherever your secondary tunnel was set to. Sometimes, I have to completely close my browser and re-open it to clear the cache.
Make sure you go back to your Miami interface and re-check the box to enable that interface, then save, and apply. That's it, you should be good to go.
Keep in mind that firewall rules work in a top-down fashion. Next, I'll get into how to help prevent ad tracking. Advertising companies are very interested in you and as much information as they can get about you. Unfortunately, when you browse the internet, it is easy to leak this sought after information. This information is monetized to target specific audiences with products and services with surgical-like precision. You may have experienced doing an online search for something and then later noticed advertisements popping up in your social media feed that match your recent searches.
This is made possible by gathering as much information about your internet searches, which websites you visit, which pictures you look at, what you download, what you listen to, your location, what's in your shopping cart, what payment methods you use, the time and date of all this activity, then linking that information to uniquely-identifiable constants like the specific web browser you are using and on which device you are using it.
Combine this information with your IP address, ISP account and social media profile and you can start to see how there is a honeypot of information about you that you may not want so readily available to corporations, law enforcement, strangers or hackers.
Between cookies , browser fingerprinting and behavioral tracking it can seem like the odds are stacked against you. But there are simple steps you can take to start guarding your privacy now. It would be a shame to allow perfect be the enemy of good and hold you back from getting started. In this section, you will see how to incorporate ad-blocking capabilities by modifying the DNS server and DHCP server settings in your firewall. At a high level, you type a website name into your web browser, that gets sent to a DNS server usually your ISP's DNS server , and that server translates the human-readable text into an IP address and sends that back to your browser so it knows which web server you are trying to reach.
Additionally, targeted ads are also sent to you this way. If you get DNS leaks, depending on which browser you are using, you may find helpful instructions from Mullvad here to harden your browser and help prevent ad and tracking at the browser level. Then try again. If you have problems blocking ads with your preferred browser, consider using a more privacy-focused browser like UnGoogled Chromium :. Tor is another browser I would recommend to use as much as possible, just in general.
Mullvad provides a few different DNS-resolving servers that can be found listed in this Mullvad article. For this example, I will use the " Make sure to refer to the Mullvad website for the latest updated DNS server IP addresses as these may change occasionally.
If you used my recommendation from the beginning of the guide, then this should already be set but you will need to follow the DHCP instructions below. Repeat this step for all of your LANs if you have multiple networks setup. Now you should have an ad-tracker blocking DNS server configured at the firewall level to help protect all of your internet browsing. Then, if you took the additional measures of configuring your web browser or upgrading to a privacy-focused web browser, then you have taken a big leap forward in guarding your privacy on your desktop devices.
I also recommend considering using UnGoogled Chromium or Bromite on mobile. If you are interested in more mobile devices privacy measures, check out my guide on CalyxOS here. There is reasonable concern that using a VPN may introduce latency to your mining traffic. The problem with that is you will get fewer rewards. When there is latency present, your ASIC may continue hashing a block header that is no longer valid.
The longer your ASIC spends hashing an invalid block header, the more "stale" hash rate you will send to the pool. When the pool sees hashes coming in for a block header that is no longer valid, the pool rejects that work. This means that your ASIC just wasted some computing power for nothing, although this is on the scale of milliseconds, when an ASIC is calculating trillions of hashes every second, it can add up fast. Typically, this is a very small ratio compared to the amount of work that is accepted by the pool.
But you can start to see how significant and continuous latency could have an impact on your mining rewards. Generally speaking, the closer two servers are to each other, the less latency there will be. In an effort to try and mitigate latency by geographic proximity, I used three VPN servers that were between my location and the pool's server.
