Will pay it forward in March once my account ages a bit.

I strongly agree that it was ultra low impact. But in the results where the same. It has the exact same impact as would a right winger saboteur saying the same. The same end goal would be helped. And this case the right wing benefits.

I think a better approach would be for those left wing (in the non American sense) spaces to push voter apathy in right wing spaces.

Then on top encouraging action and organization of the left.

It’s possible. But actively pushing the narrative that there is no point in voting on on Lemmy only helped Trump win.

If people pushed the „no point in voting“ narrative in right wing forums it would be be better.

As I said people encouraging left leaning (in the American sense) potential voters to not vote is what right wing saboteurs would do.

I mean it is true. They did help elect Trump. Before the election there were a ton of .ml accounts doing their best to get progressives to be politically apathetic. They were indistinguishable from right wing saboteurs.

Kind of the opposite actually. PTX is in essence nvidia specific assembly. Just like how arm or x86_64 assembly are tied to arm and x86_64.

At least with cuda there are efforts like zluda. Cuda is more like objective-c was on the mac. Basicly tied to platform but at least you could write a compiler for another target in theory.

This seems really pedantic. Recommending 9gag because someone does not want to see constant bad news is just a but out there.

I mean they’re synced super fast to every file system. It works really well. Wayyy wayyy faster than nextcloud too. You can access them on that file system. If you want to “directly” access them you can always use the fuse driver. This being said there isn’t really a need to because all the files just are synced to your file system.

Another one is that if you delete a file on an encrypted drive it can’t be undeleted later on. Lots of benefits.

I mean if you have an angle grinder and a space to safely use it sure. But it’s still harder than just dropping the HDD off at an e-waste bin.

Fair. If you have access to a crusher then maybe I can see not encrypting. But even then with non encrypted drives files can be recovered even after deleting etc.

This is why backups are important. But even if the drive is encrypted recovering data is exactly as easy as recovery from a non encrypted drive.

1. Do a ddrescue of the drive.
2. Re apply the luks header.
3. decrypt all non corrupt sectors
4. Use appropriate tools to recover files.

Like you lose the same sectors if those sectors are encrypted or not.

I mean Americans do a lot of dumb stuff. And I don’t think we need to make every thread American centric.

True if all of your knowledge of religion comes from pop culture I can see how someone might see it that way.

Like in Family Guy or other Seth Rogan shows Satan, Jesus and “God” are all depicted as equals bickering.

Thanks for your thoughts here. They’re interesting.

I’m guessing you don’t come from a region that has been historically Abrahamic. I’m secular myself but it’s interesting that you would throw Satan in there with the rest.

Just backup the LUKs header files. No need to encrypt them as they’re inherently secure as the hard drives they would originally reside on.

True. This does work. But it is less secure and much harder than just tossing an encrypted HDD into an e-waste bin. It probably is more fun though. 🤔

I would strongly encourage people to encrypt their on site data storage drives even if they never leave the house and theft isn’t a realistic thing that can happen.

The issue is hard drive malfunction. If a drive has sensitive data on it and malfunctions. It becomes very hard to destroy that data.

If that malfunctioning hard drive was encrypted you can simply toss it into an e-waste bin worry free. If that malfunctioning drive was not encrypted you need to break out some heavy tools tool ensure that data is destroyed.

Talk about living in your head rent free.

But for the record I feel the same way. If it was a for profit company I would think there is a problem. But a non profit in a reputable legal system doing a donation drive for a good cause isn’t really “sus” at all.

That is a good reason to backup, but has nothing to do with encryption.

(For real though I have a backup of all of my drive LUKS headers stored on several media types on and off site.)

The problem is that there are EU freedom of movement rules. It would be hard to justify Spain-only in the face of those rules
