Everything that was luks encrypted is unrecoverable once you overwrite the luks header. Trying to guess the master key takes longer than the lifetime of the universe.

Just make sure that is gone and you are good. If you deleted all partitions and installed another (unencrypted) OS on the drive there is a very good chance the luks headers are gone for good.

Lima is … difficult. Its a gigantic city growing well beyond its own capabilities and infrastructure. 99% of houses are unpainted brick without a proper roof and cables just hanging out. There is so much poverty, stray dogs and smell of piss even in the touristy areas. During more than half the year you will not see the sun because it is always covered in haze and smog (dust from the desert + cold moist air from the ocean). The outskirts growing into the desert are the most depressing sight of human existence I have ever seen.

The bike lanes are nice but limited to Miraflores (the tourist main quarter). Baranco is very nice and artsy, as are some of the rich areas. There are very nice restaurants, theatres, museums etc if that is your thing though. And if you spend some time in more rural Peru, returning to a modern city with shoping malls can be nice too.

All in all I would not recommend going to Lima as your destination when going to Peru. Stay for 2-3 days then get the fuck out of there to the actually beautiful cities like Arequipa.

You are asuming the cost of a network card and a microchip is higher than the profit they expect from the ads. Many smart TVs are cheaper than an equivalent dumb TV

The landlords needs to give a written notice to the tenants at least 24h before they can give permission to the vampire. And the landlord needs to be present as well. Unless the vampire is a registered repair man, then the notice is enough.

Is it realy so incomprehensible to see how useful it is? I feel like most people in this threat just close their eyes and scream. Yes you can call, yes you can find a different solution to every problem. But it is still fucking convenient to just know where somebody is without you having to ask them having to actively respond.

I think most do. Everybody here only looks at the “controlling, jealous partner” and never at the actually “loving, healthy, concerned partner”.

There’s no upside

• Know when they come home or if they are stuck in traffic
• “oh you are still in the store can you get me …”
• security if they get kidnapped

It is insanely useful to know where your partner is. It is not necessary. It is still useful. I would not allow my partner 24/7 location information. It is still useful. I don’t trust any app/manufacturer that allows such a feature. It is still useful.

You most likely pay for a maximum CPU capacity and your Server cant go above that no matter what you run. Your vps provider doesn’t care what that CPU power is used for.

However with limited resources, the tarpit might use up all CPU power and the rest of the webserver will crawl to a halt.

Pretty sure secure boot is a UEFI feature so if the board only supports BIOS then there is no secure boot anyway.

Mammals mostly don’t live that long and reptiles aren’t the most cuddely. But sloths or primates can live to 50 years. And some birds can outlive you easily with cockatoos getting to 120 years occasionally

Beeing able to access the file doest mean you know where it is. What happens if that file isnt recent any more? Android hides the file system from the user. “Recent files” is a prime example of that.

wg-quick creates a systemd service for each wireguard config you have. So if you set up a tunel called wg0, you should be able to run ‘sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0’ This will make your tunnel connect on every boot. I have the same setup on my proxmox, so i can reach certain services of my homelab proxied through a root server (the other end of the wireguard tunnel)

Every time you enter a car there is a higher chance of “will I die during this trip” than when you enter a plane.

Yes the “chance to survive a plane crash” is lower than the “chance to survive a car crash” but the chance to ever be in a plane crash is incredibly low, even when you factor in the number of cars vs number of planes etc.

100% certain it would be more. And I wager it would actually, be more than linear. Double the number if people with guns and you get more than double the number of mass shootings.

Old Testament god is not benevolent. They are based on ideals from a time where the natural thing to do after winning a war was to kill everyone of fighting age and take everyone else (especially the women) as slaves. Ever wonder how Moses’ people got to Egypt in the first place?

Old testament god is a god of war and wrath. Killing only the Pharaohs would have been weakness.

And Guam. And American Samoa. And US virgin islands. And mariana Islands.

Decryption is not related to root permission.

If the ENCRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container can decrypt it.

If the DECRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container never knows it was encrypted in the first place.

Second case is easier BTW. Just mount the drive on your host, type in the encryption password and you get a new, unencrypted drive. Specify this new drive in your docker compose/docker file.

Generally, Linux Servers are best administered from a command line. At least in the beginning to set everything up. In turn they are faster on lower hardware as they dont even have a graphical desktop at all so need less resources. You could of course install a windows server OS. They can be fully administered through Remote Desktop and a GUI.

There are multiple projects to make self hosting more accessible (like casaOS). They automate many steps of the setup and then offer you a webUI for further steps. Maybe have a look here https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#self-hosting-solutions

Off topic, but how do you do that on Lemmy? In jerboa there is no option (that I know off) to browse another instance. Do you open your home instance in one browser tab and the one you want to explore in another and once you find a community you like you switch to the other tab and subscribe to it there?

AMD is no problem. Only nvidea (of the big mainstream hardware manufacturers) does not supply Linux drivers.

In fact AMD will most likely make it easier than Intel if something doesn’t work. Intel pretty mutch only thinks about Winows, so if there are driver problems, there are only windows drivers to download on their website (but there shouldn’t be an problems in the first place anyway)
