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!

Free real estate 😂

Edit: sorry, I may have misunderstood your post - free email != email masking.

My original post below…

Curious why you consider email address masking services as for those with “drastic anonymity” requirements?

I personally don’t think so: they are pretty much just a digital P.O. box, and are typically not anonymous in any way (subpoena/court order to the provider). They are built-in to Firefox too, it will automatically create new ones OOTB as you sign up on websites, if you click the autofill.

They are however IMO one effective tool out of many to restrict the ability of data brokers and hacking groups (aggregated breach datasets) alike from making money from your online presence without your consent.

In almost all cases this data is freely searchable for law enforcement and private investigators, allowing them to avoid going through the legal system to investigate and possibly detain you for things you’re not guilty of

User looks like they’ve been banned completely! We’ll need a mod to remove this…

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 😁

TIL

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

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

Who asked for this, and why?

It exists to reduce dependence on YouTube.

There are bad things to say about Google all day, yet consumers will still line right back up to use Google’s video service without fail. Having that content mixed in with other sites reduces dependence on YouTube over time, as creators consider decentralizing their media presence and posting content on Patreon, Nebula etc, instead of Youtube’s walled garden of Communities, Memberships and of course the channel itself.

IMO right now this app is really for people who want to support OR already are supporting creators, and are displeased with the amount of apps, bad UX and poor integration this experience entails when done outside of Youtube’s platform

If that’s not for you, then maybe the privacy aspect of Grayjay is of interest, where the YouTube integration allows you to control what data is associated with your Google account. Aside from those, most people should probably stick with their existing YouTube client. This app is targeting a specific kind of audience, and fits right in with Rossmann’s

If you take over a project of this scale you need to make this your job and thus get paid. There’s a good reason Louis hasn’t just pushed this out as his hobby project but hired developers.

Thank you!

The bits that the community can contribute to (the addins to add support for more sites) are GPL licensed anyway 👍

A lot of the opinions and perspectives I’ve been seeing appear more on the principled side, rather than set in reality.

Without a vision or leader for the project e.g. Mickay driving Graphene, Cassidy driving elementaryOS, they can’t move substantially forward regardless of how libre and free they are. Graphene will remain ahead because nothing challenges it, but elementaryOS has already fallen so far behind Gnome in such little time…
