Fair enough. Every service I run depends on encrypted data, so starting the machine without decrypting isn’t worthwhile in my case. I have to decrypt to get everything back up after power loss anyway.

Main advantages I’m aware of for full disc encryption are encrypted swap and system config. Overkill for some use cases so YMMV, but wanting to point out that decrypting at boot can be done.

I may be missing something in your use case. As long as you have the port forwarded you can decrypt from anywhere. Use pub key auth and you’re good to go

You can decrypt via ssh at boot. I used dropbear to accomplish that on my machine

Is this really considered “news”?

Thanks to you and everyone else in this thread that recommended HeliBoard. It’s excellent

Ah, I didn’t realize. That does make the situation a bit stickier, then

I’m not familiar with soundcloud’s TOS, which is why I noted that it’s my opinion. When did people decide it’s alright for multi-billion dollar corporations to dictate what people create for fun?

Mods are free and community-driven. This situation is closer to someone using the chorus to a song in their own soundcloud track, which in my opinion should be completely fine

I recently switched from Joplin to Obsidian for different reasons. I’d prefer something FOSS, but so far I’ve been happy with the transition. Since it works with plain markdown files, it would fit your use case

Not sure whether or not it was the same team, but Half-Life: Alyx was incredible

I used it for a bit. For a supposedly privacy focused search engine, they sure dislike when users connect through a VPN. I’m met with constant identity checks and, with certain queries, straight up access denied pages. Selling the company to an ad agency is another massive red flag. It’s unfortunate since we’re starved for decent, free search options these days, but skip them.

Hey, congrats. Ours is due early next year so I’ll be doing similar
