  • when companies become so big and provide essential services they should be taken over by the government

  • What do you use for photo/video backups?

    Jump

  • i use syncthing to mirror pics on my computers and rsync to back them up on a different computer. (i use raid on my backup server)

  • I found the easiest way to transfer files to and from my Linux PC - and it's so fast [ZDNET]

    Jump

  • for one time transfers (e.g. friends phone) I use warpinator.

    if I own the device I use scp/rsync.

    to keep files in sync I use syncthing

  • Is there a simple GUI application alerting the user when a process is not running?

    Jump

  • Yeah, autocorrect isn't great with technical terms. I meant systemd. I followed Arch's instruction, and just enabled the services via systemctl --user enable syncthing.service

    Jump

  • i use syncthing, and start it via the systems service. i found it reliable. systems has a feature by which you can get notified on error (look up the onerror key), you might be able to do what u need with that.

    alternately, you can run a systemd timer that runs periodically and notifies you when your condition is met. if u want a pop-up, use zenity etc.

  • ur def right about this. there are a few other things (e. g. cached mail etc) that would be good to encrypt, which I don't do right now.

    if my computer gets stolen I figure no one will bother with my data unless they stand to immediately gain financially. e.g. ransom. my data (I have backups) or access my bank info (I keep this encrypted) and steal my identity. so I protect against this as best as I can without sacrificing usability too much

  • this sounds cool. if my desktop is plugged into the wall, how would they unplug it to plug it into their device without my computer losing power momentarily?

  • lol no. i currently reboot once every two weeks and find it a chore. (it's my one complaint about arch as the kernel updates are so frequent). I'm def not going to waste time reopening all my windows and tabs every time I open my computer just to keep my zshrc encrypted. i realized long ago that security and usability are inversely related, and I picked the middle ground that suits me

  • usually I sleep my laptop and take it with me. with full disk encryption, if my bag gets stolen my files are all decrypted if the attacker gets past the lock screen.

    getting past a lock screen is much easier than breaking encryption ofc

    more importantly my desktop is online 24/7 with a static IP. if I get hacked they get all my data (bank passwords etc). but with the one folder encryption, if I get hacked they get my zshrc and init.lua 🙂

  • so the issue with whole drive encryption is that all the data is decrypted 100% of the time I'm using the device. even when I sleep the device ...

    with one folder, I ensure it's unmounted and encrypted before my computer sleeps.
