<-- this nick is an accurate representation of my current feelings what's up? kvr21 died back up riht now *right (brycec, btw) yeh it did took down all my shit when I needed it most oh look brycec is back how nice shutup, KILLALLHUMANS01 what are people here doing for encrypting file systems on laptops? luks (because Arch) /boot is unencrypted, partition 2 is luks-encrypted, contains LVM PV with swap and other file systems key storage is a USB key that stays with me so you backup the usb key? is that key+passphrase or just key? Nope. But I also have a text key, super long, on paper somewhere That's just keyfile ahh do you just need they usb key to boot? then you remove it? Correct except at home because lazy yeah i'm only thinking about laptop https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LVM_on_LUKS https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption mercutio: I meant when laptop is at home I leave the key in it oh right i get yah It's a tiny USB thing, sticks out like a small bump yeah i've been reading stuff around there and there's ecryptfs etc too ahh, mine are huge luks is pretty standard/common, etc and all the modern laptops seem to still hardly have any usb ports mercutio: Consider an SD card too/instead oh those tend to fit close-to-flush i wonder if it'd take sdcard i'm thinking asus zenbook atm cos it's cheap and 1080p x1 carbon looked nicer, but relaly expensive here. ahh it does have sd card support oh cool! Man that kvr21 crash could have really caused me havoc, I was in the middle of a apt-get dist-upgrade. eek apt-get syncs all the time at least. Yeah it picked up where the install had been cutoff it should recover sweet It did, hence "could have" and not "might" oh right i didn't know if you knew the situation yet or not could have could also mean you don't know yet whether it's broken or not. that apt-get based zfs thingy had zfs snapshots for upgrades. but lack of good snapshotting on most linux systems is kind of a bit of a sore point anyone use https://chocolatey.org/ on Windows
