Illiterate Domine

There are many ways to setups full disk encryption on Linux, but the most common all involve LUKS. Providing a password at mount (during boot, for a root partition or perhaps later for a “data” volume) is a but more secure and more frequently done, but you can also use things like smart cards (like a Yubikey) or a keyfile (basically a file as the password rather than typed in) to decrypt.

So, to actually answer your question, if you dont want to type passwords and are okay with the security implementations of storing the key with/near the system, putting a keyfile on removable storage that normally stays plugged in but can be removed to secure your disks is a common compromise. Here’s an approachable article about it.

.bak gang rise up.

If you’re rooted, the BCR magisk module is an option. Working great on my Pixel.

The difference, as I understand it, is Beeper hasn’t claimed to not be doing that. Sunbird/Nothing touted E2EE and that was a lie.

Plasma isn’t a KDE OS, but Neon is.

OP isn’t trying to install into the downloads folder; they’re trying to grant an app access to the downloads folder to read and write data.

Most self-hosters are probably using dns services through their registrar, but you don’t have to. A registrar with poor api support might still be a good choice, if that was the only negative.

Well, I’m back and can confirm the sneaky DNS resolver. I have two roku devices and they both were making requests to 8.8.8.8.

Thanks for this post! TIL.

Interesting. I set an adblocking dns via DHCP and, as far as I know, the Roku respects it. Ads are blocked and I can see it failing to delivery telemetry in my dns logs (most persistent thing on the network).

I set a rule to catch outside dns to see if anything, the roku included, has been misbehaving.

git

Santa?

konsole is low-key a great terminal. It’s really snappy, supports ligatures, and looks good. It’s one of my favorite KDE applications and the one I miss most when it’s not available.

Yes, wget is available, along with pretty much everything else you’d expect from a linux environment.

No, root isn’t required.

Florida approves PragerU’s conservative ‘curriculum’ to be used in schools

It’s certainly not a degree-granting university, but they’re finding their way into education.

If you have a phone number on the account, you can do an SMS reset. If not, I guess it’s “open a ticket with a throwaway” time.

Around 55 million tons of HeLa cells have been cultured. So, yeah, more than a house.

A transporter that can recreate you with all your memories can also recreate you with new Transporter Corp ® approved ones. I think I’ll pass.

There’s an optional subscription that includes all the DLC and makes crafting materials not consume inventory space. Crafting is really difficult without the sub, but the rest of the game is approachable without it.

I’ve been using chezmoi for dotfile management and have been really happy with it. You can directly import existing files to get started and template out any differences between systems.

Little clusters of nucs has become a really common way to run small Kubernetes clusters at home. I recently rebuilt mine (still using a bulky, power hungry box like you’re tossing) and have been very happy with it. Everything is really stable, containers that misbehave are automatically destroyed and replaced, and updates are breeze because everything lives in code/git.
