    LUKS, or anything that relies on the server encrypting, is highly vulnerable (see schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business’s response).

    Your best bet would be encrypting client side before it arrives on the server using a solution like rclone, restic, borg, etc.




  • To be fair, the offer letter mentions he is working from a remote office (and is able to hire an assistant of his choosing). I’m hoping this whole supercommute nonsense isn’t daily and instead like… monthly for some meeting or something.

    Who am I kidding though, a $10M signing bonus? He gets up to $250K per year of personal use out of the jet? They’ll even reimburse him $50K of legal and advisory fees he incurs having the offer reviewed by his own lawyers. That’s where I stopped reading.









  • Man, they just keep burying their head further. I still have Windows 10 on my gaming PC, and that’s more because I plan on replacing it and will use that moment to transition to Linux, but up until a few months ago I could have been convinced to keep using Windows.

    That was until they popped up a full screen ad in the middle of gaming, telling me my PC doesn’t work with 11 but they have great financing options forn a 11 capable PC. Followed by my lock screen having ads of a similar nature. Fucking gross.







  • New ish. My current Thinkpad is a P14s Gen 1 with a Ryzen 4750U 16GB of RAM, and it came with a 512GB SSD. I paid just under $300 for it on eBay and well worth the cost. I wouldn’t get anything that is still a TXXX variant anymore though (e g. T490), they simplified the product line. So T490 was replaced by the E14 Gen 1, and the P14s Gen 1 is an AMD variant.

    Highly recommend. One thing worth noting though is to double check the fingerprint reader if you desire that, the E14 Gen 1 has a reader not compatible with Linux in a functional way. The P14s Gen 1 however does.
