There are many ways to setups full disk encryption on Linux, but the most common all involve LUKS. Providing a password at mount (during boot, for a root partition or perhaps later for a “data” volume) is a but more secure and more frequently done, but you can also use things like smart cards (like a Yubikey) or a keyfile (basically a file as the password rather than typed in) to decrypt.

So, to actually answer your question, if you dont want to type passwords and are okay with the security implementations of storing the key with/near the system, putting a keyfile on removable storage that normally stays plugged in but can be removed to secure your disks is a common compromise. Here’s an approachable article about it.

OP isn’t trying to install into the downloads folder; they’re trying to grant an app access to the downloads folder to read and write data.

I made that move and had no issues. You can copy/paste your way through DNS setup and the rest is just configuring your proton account how you want.

You’ll want to be familiar with proton and some of the tradeoffs in its privacy model, but it’s most likely more feature-full than a hosting provider. Dreamhost, for one, is quite basic.

Most self-hosters are probably using dns services through their registrar, but you don’t have to. A registrar with poor api support might still be a good choice, if that was the only negative.

Well, I’m back and can confirm the sneaky DNS resolver. I have two roku devices and they both were making requests to 8.8.8.8.

Thanks for this post! TIL.

Interesting. I set an adblocking dns via DHCP and, as far as I know, the Roku respects it. Ads are blocked and I can see it failing to delivery telemetry in my dns logs (most persistent thing on the network).

I set a rule to catch outside dns to see if anything, the roku included, has been misbehaving.

There’s a spike in 2021 and then things started to come back to earth, but its an overall upward trend throughout that time.

Red Ventures [a private equity-backed marketing firm that owns CNET] has applied a ruthless SEO strategy to its slate of outlets, which also includes The Points Guy, Healthline, and Bankrate.

Whoa, how did my search engine blocklist end up in a Verge article?

ImagePipe is another one. Handles exif remove, compression/scaling, and a bunch of other transformations. I’ve been really happy with it.

Only if personally identifiable information was made available. My understanding is that this was not the case here. Doctors are allowed to discuss medical cases, just not in an identifiable way.

Little clusters of nucs has become a really common way to run small Kubernetes clusters at home. I recently rebuilt mine (still using a bulky, power hungry box like you’re tossing) and have been very happy with it. Everything is really stable, containers that misbehave are automatically destroyed and replaced, and updates are breeze because everything lives in code/git.

Speak for yourself. Seems like a high bar to me.

We’re not going to change it back, because this is a sexually explicit game, and also fuck them.

Now, this is a message I can get behind.
