If you’re having it automatically unlock the drive at boot, it kind of defeats the purpose. If someone steals your tower, they can boot it and copy the unencrypted contents since it automatically unlocks.

I wasn’t talking about whether or not to trust FOSS, I was talking about Zello (since it’s closed source, which I originally mentioned). There might not be a FOSS alternative, I don’t know since I have never needed a walkie talkie app. That’s why I didn’t mention one and only answered the first part of your question. You’re right that it probably can’t be fully trusted (because it’s closed source).

The reason FOSS will always be better is because claims like that can actually be validated and audited. Any company can claim their stuff is E2E encrypted, but you’ll never know if that’s true for closed source software. Even if they do actually do E2E encryption, you’ll likely not know if they’re doing it properly and with strong encryption algorithms.

LūN (EDM)/Lights (electropop) (same artist, different personas) has some great music if you’ll like that kind of stuff. Probably most recognized in Canada, much less so in the US and rest of the world.

I also enjoy Echo Movement (reggae) but I’m not sure if they’re still making music or not.

we have no safe storage for the waste they produce.

This is not true. Nuclear waste is made almost completely safe by simply shielding it w/ concrete and letting it become less and less radioactive over time. In these cases, the radiation put off by the encapsulated waste gives off less radiation than flying on a plane. ALL of our nuclear waste (in the entire world) could fit in an area smaller than a football field and made inert with concrete.

The waste from fossil fuels floats around us constantly, and is in all of our lungs right now. I know which one I’d rather deal with.

Solar and wind alone cannot save us from climate change. We will continue to need more and more power, and solar and wind are unable to keep up on their own, especially year round. We need to use all of our safer options to replace fossil fuels, including nuclear.

Kagi is great but it’s a subscription based platform ($10/month). Well worth it, at least for me.

I’m usually all for setting up things myself, but unRAID is just too good. Not to mention their support forums have saved me more than once.

I’m pretty sure the new deck’s screen is bigger, so I doubt that it’ll fit.

Home Assistant, in this case; YAML.

LUKS with LVM is probably what you want to encrypt your “hot” drives with. As for the actual backups, Borg and Duplicacy are great. I personally prefer Duplicacy as I find it much more polished, but Borg is great too. Both include encryption options.

If you’re concerned about recovering data, you should try recovering now. Make sure your backups are actually working and you can properly recover. You don’t have backups unless you test them.

Just used it to generate some HA automations that GPT-4 struggled with, and it was definitely faster.

I agree, but Signal on mobile doesn’t require destruct timers either.

This will unfortunately only get worse thanks to climate change.

With Kagi, you can kind of do this, either through lenses or by completely blocking website from your search results. Obviously not as good as a block list but still, something.

Then why did you say “you don’t know what you’re talking about” and are just now bringing up systemctl? Moving goalposts maybe?

This was never about runlevel 0 or 1 programs. This was always about whether or not a user can use systemd without root. Why would Brave need to start a VPN service at an init runlevel (before most networking services)? It would make more sense to start at login.

Again, it’s not true, so you don’t need to keep acting like it’s the case. You do not need root to create systemd entries for a single user. Systemd is pretty much just symlinks all the way down. You can test this yourself, so I don’t know why you’re saying it’s not possible when me and many others in this thread have told you that you were incorrect in the first place.

That’s what I said, it was my professional opinion. Sorry if you took it otherwise. Who pissed in your Cheerios? You have a vested interest in hating other people’s choice of search engine?

I ask again, what are you basing your opinion off of if not personal reasons or SEO?
