I should call her.

As u/TBi said in the comments

People won’t pay for anything, and are then surprised by who actually pays for stuff.

Bruh everything is funded by some sort of criminal. Jeffery Epstein could have donated to the Mozilla foundation for all we know. You literally cannot tell.

My raspberry pi is a wifi hotspot. Its SSID is CreamPi

It is argued that the powers they posses are mythological but the figures actually existed as kings and princes of that era. But there is no conclusive evidence of it as Indians in general were not great at recording their history and whatever they did record (which was still a lot) was kept in Nalanda which was burnt by invaders.

Their point was to not have fully encrypted drive, so it boots without a prompt

You can achieve this even with full disk encryption with Secure Boot and TPM. That’s how Bitlocker does it. I have this setup on my Desktop — One single root partition with LUKS, Secure Boot on with sbctl and cryptenroll for tpm unlocking. Takes less than 5 mins to setup.

So what’s a viable solution then? Lower tax the shit out of it? Because that’s what we’re currently doing anyways.

I agree because they are more difficult and expensive to manufacture than tobacco products for which you can just exploit workers in countries like India.

With higher taxes on tobacco products, the black markets will be much less accessed as there will by 2 modes of supplies. If I as a smoker know I get better quality of cigarettes with the tax, i will opt for that and the government would get to earn a revenue from those who are killing themselves.

Yes. Just encrypt /home partition only

This is dangerous. As some data like cache and logs are stored in the root partition. So some of your data from home partition might trickle up the root partition in that form.

why encrypt it in the first place?

My threat model doesn’t include someone gaining direct access to my home desktop. I have Arch Linux with Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 enabled on fully encrypted drive and this chain’s existence makes it easier to know that no one has tampered with my system. On my laptop I am one step further with requirement of BIOS password.

storing the encryption keys in TPM, but others say then you can lose your keys if the mobo dies

That doesn’t mean you can’t decrypt your drive. It is just that it won’t be automatically decrypted at boot.

This is a stupid decision. Prohibition has never worked. Instead there will be more illegal, unsafe and unregulated cigarettes that the newer generations will smoke which will be more harmful while at the same time losing tax revenues and an increase in policing costs.

A better solution will be just to tax the shit out of these products and fund healthcare with it.

“You are a good question” vibes

shareholders still call the shots

But now Adobe has generative tools. Every wannabe artist and ass CEOs will look into it as a primary feature.

When money dictates how the world should work.

What about port forwarding and location switching?

It was a 5-6 years back so I don’t know the current state but I am sure it must great (also I was a Linux noob). It was terribly slow. Like my connection is 250 Mbps but I was getting downloads of like 10 Mbps with the repos even with the mirrors near to me. Every time it updated it like got stuck over there for a minute. I searched on reddit and there were a lot of complaints and the solutions involved the terminal to change the mirrors using nano (and I was scared of the terminal back then) so I just ditched fedora after a year (rest of the system was pretty fast though) and switched back to Windows for a few months then again to Mint.

There I learnt Linux fundamentals step by step for a year & a half and thought I want the latest and greatest stuff. I learnt something like the AUR existed. Installed Arch with archinstall with btrfs, first with KDE Plasma and I got excited and installed Hyde’s Hyprland script (lol) and shit broke pretty quick like in 2 months and I didn’t know how to fix. Went back to Mint, but thought naah. Took me a few days to learn but installed Arch the manual way by actually RTFM and a few YT Tutorials. Stuck with KDE and never looked back.

Sudo gives you slavery right /s

Immutable Distros exist buddy
