Flash drive hidden under the carpet and connected via a USB extension, holding the decryption keys - threat model is a robber making off with the hard drives and gear, where the data just needs to be useless or inaccessible to others.

There’s a script in the initramfs which looks for the flash drive, and passes the decryption key on it to cryptsetup, which then kicks off the rest of the boot mounting the filesystems underneath the luks

I could technically remove the flash drive after boot as the system is on a UPS, but I like the ability to reboot remotely without too much hassle.

What I’d like to do in future would be to implement something more robust with a hardware device requiring 2FA. I’m not familiar with low level hardware security at all though, so the current setup will do fine for the time being!

If they’re easy to get, why not have them 😉

This is how I do it 👌 no need to install another when the pi already comes with one OOTB.

If OP is looking for VNC clients for zorin OS, there’s an app called “Connections” in the store which works great

Ooh interesting, never knew they started a rewrite!

The reports of poor performance with the PHP version was one of the things that pushed me towards using Syncthing instead when I was looking for a solution to view my documents and files from various devices

I wonder how its packaged too, is winget firing off an MSI in the background with a silent flag?

Not op, but nothing significant IMO unless you’re a web developer (in which case it’s worth considering using the dev edition instead) or just want the latest features.

The ESR on Debian gets updated reasonably frequently with backported security patches and bug fixes

Sending files from my phone to my laptop - just copy them to a special folder and boom, sent 😁

That’s surprising. Dell should have good Linux driver support, seeing as they offer Ubuntu pre-installed in some markets.

Saying that, we have work issued Dell Precision mobile workstations and there are constantly hardware and driver issues under Windows, where you’d expect things to work just fine…

• the internal microphone not working (handy for meetings!)
• the 3.5mm combo jack not working (ah, great, no backup for when the internal microphone stops working)
• the battery handshake failing, causing the machine to not charge, stay stuck in a low performance mode, and constantly pop up Windows notifications saying the battery is not genuine
• the presence sensor locking the laptop while you’re literally working it

Now I use a USB headset, disabled the presence sensor, and reboot the laptop repeatedly until the battery is detected as genuine

AppArmor and SELinux sandboxing stuff pushed me to only install services with Docker on my headless machines 😣 found out most services can’t write to their own homefolder

I don’t think debian even has support for snaps built in, unless I’m mistaken? Most ubuntu derivatives also rip them out lol

Neat bot!

Also may as well block you too because I don’t want your response in my inbox 😂

Where is the joke?

Slapping Xorg and Wayland logos onto bigoted content does not qualify - shit meme 0/10

How is this corporate hate 😂 wooow

I quit Ubuntu after 14.04, haven’t missed it at all

TIL, don’t know why I didn’t realise spirit levels are called “spirit” for a reason - it’s not colored water inside 😭

Phlat Hub

Ah yes, good old top:50% left:50% margin-left:-50% margin-top:-50%

Before that was worse, straight up center tags everywhere and assuming the user’s screen was 1024x768 lol. Things today are sooooo much nicer with flexbox and especially CSS grid 😍

I feel dirty for still using history | grep ls lol
