You can use FDE and setup a minimal ssh server like dropbear to run at startup. This way, you can supply the password via a keyboard connected to the machine OR via ssh. This gives you a similar workflow to the data partition you mentioned, but encrypts the entire system.

Which country is that? I just recently got fiber, but 1G down 0.5G up would cost me 90€/month, and that’s the fastest they’re offering.

I also wouldn’t use the built-in Wifi on this, but I can understand why they’d want to offer an all-in-one solution

I hate the cloudflare stuff making me do captchas or outright denying me with a burning passion. My fault for committing the heinous crime of using a VPN!

From the image, it doesn’t seem like it has rack mounts, which is kind of an odd choice. There are lots of switches that have a similar form factor, but can be put in 10" or 19" racks depending on which rack ears you put on it

Follow-up video idea: speed ≠ distance

Git is already decentralized, nothing is stopping you from adding multiple remotes to your repo.

I am almost afraid to say it, but I’m confident someone out there has created such a cursed terminal. The modern word ribbon does not match the windows XP theme, though :(

I wonder if registry keys can be set with an ansible script? Granted, that is still not as nice as a declarative config (yay NixOS), but better than having to write down and do by hand again on a new install

That varies from command to command though. man is nice if you know how to use the command but have forgotten which option does what you want. But if you have no idea how to use a program, reading e.g. man awk will not be very helpful

There are definitely people who think it is reasonable to memorize button locations and 10 levels of menus in GUI programs but would rather go into cardiac arrest than use something like program --option input-file output-file.

Yes, rsync is a good choice

I keep a windows LTSC install around purely for Escape from Tarkov. Everything else I play works great on Linux.

I always thought the second amendment was supposed to prevent this

I don’t get it

“You need to format your USB drive” when there’s a perfectly usable FAT partition, which just happens to not be the first partition on the drive

What’s stopping you from connecting it to the local network but denying internet access? E.g. via a firewall rule or separate VLAN?

Gemini auf die Eier

I disagree. Having 5TB worth of movies on a hard drive / NAS is way more convenient than having 5TB of movies spread across 100 blurays.

Uhm this is exactly why you only store already-encrypted data on remote servers
