Does the TS6 client work with the TS3 Server? I would assume not. Can you still buy/pay for a Server hosted by them but managed by yourself?

For me this sounds all to familiar to Pin It

I would like to second this. Me personally I am pretty happy with using a storage Box as one of the Backup locations. It is on the pricier end, so I only use it for backup of certain file types (e.g. not for storing video backups or Disk images)

Can you help me out and point me to the transphobic slur in the linker Screenshots? Maybe i do not get “the slang” because Kam not actually familiar with it.

OK, if it is not within the linked Screenshots then it is lacking context for me. Thats why I asked for mode context. To better understand.

Actually that’s what I like about GNOME. I don’t want a ton of customization options, a right-click menu with multiple dozen entries and a settings menu that needs a “table of contents”.

Reduce the UI to such a degree, that you cannot remove anything more without breaking. Thats what I want.

I was reading through the conversations (Screenshots) in the link. And based in what is provider there I do not see a problematic statement by antheas (or how he is called). Maybe more context is needed?

Thanks for sharing this! This is a pretty cool site!

That’s an interesting fix. But as someone mentioned in the comments in phoronix the question still is: Will GNOME 50 also allow to pin a certain application to a specifc GPU. But never the less: improvement is improvement.

I think you misunderstood me, or I was not really clear. Whatever. My point was not carrying arround the RPi everywhere all the time. But (maybe) having it as a backup if (!) you are concerned to loose access to Veracrypt at some point for some reason (and you where not able to migrate to a different solution in the meantime). If that does not apply to you: very good! No problem, no solution required.

If you decided it is to bothersome/inconvenient to install an application to (maybe) solve a problem - > that’s also totally fine.

But then I am asking myself: Does there exist any solution? Maybe not under this requirements. But then again: Having a not as convenient solution as possible, or having no solution at all. But its up to you. You decide what best fits your needs.

This point I don’t get.

I guess you are afraid that at some point in time you are not able to download Veracrypt from a trusted Source. In this case you can keep a copy of the executable for all the platforms you need. If you are afraid that you might not be able to run it at some point in time (because dependencys are not met): this can be somehow mitigated by the Appimage version of Veracrypt bundling all its dependencies. If you think even this is not good enough: Keep a cheap reaspberry PI with Veracrypt installed arround. Just as a fallback solution to access your drives.

But if you want a cross platform solution, baked directly into Windows, MacOS and Linux … I don’t see this happening anytime soon.

LUKS is Linux only. There isn’t a cross platform way to do FDE on removable media.

You can try out Veracrypt for that. It is supported on Widnows, macOS and Linux and supports FDE on external drives. At least that’s what I am using at work.

Laptop OEMs seem to go with fingerprint readers that have no Linux support.

This was also such a big downer for me on my Lenovo Yoga 370. I could not (for gods sake) get the fingerprint reader to work because it was missing key material that was baked into the Windows Driver but required to communicate with the Fingerprint Reader Hardware.

There are a lot of things that bother me and could be improved:

Lacking Hardware support for Fingerprint readers: in my Lenovo Yoga 370 i could not (for gods sake) get the Fingerprint reader to work. But I gave up trying a couple years ago. So it might be working now but i don’t know. I know its not the OS fault because it is just missing key Materials and driver support from the manufacturer. But in the end I don’t care whose fault it is. It does not work, and that bothers me.

Not easy to use TPM for LUKS: why doesn’t the installer of any distribution use the TPM module for storing the decryption key for LUKS. Or at least make it an option. They are made for that! TPM is not your enemy. Use them to help you! Better to use TPM (with exported strong recovery key) instead of having no encryption at all or a weak password.

Proper Backup and rollback Baker info the distro: why was only Opensuse able to have an integrated solution for backup and rollback of OS changes and updates? MacOS has this since years (maybe decades…)

No parental control features: Plesse give me things like settings usage time limits and APP access limitation for specific user accounts. I know I can somehow do this via Polkit. But this is not user friendly and too complicated for typical use cases. I am very happy that GNOME is currently working in a solution for this in GNOME 50 (Propably)

At least some form of reality check and accepting reality happened.

This sounds interesting. I tried this like a year ago, but could not get it working. Maybe I should give it a try.

This. I don’t if there even exists a FOSS solution which is as reliable as MakeMKV

OK, then maybe a DAS where your can put your drives in and also add some additional ones. Attach it to one of your Servers and Expose them via smb/NFS.

So something like @agile_squirrel@lemmy.ml and @Ugurcan@lemmy.world mentioned.

Isn’t Gamehub using it to run steam games on your phone?

Personally I also liked

I don’t know if there is a (of the shelf) DAS out there that supports using drives with existing data on them and also some additional drives with RAID in the same enclosure.

In case you don’t have some place to store the data temporarily you can just use it as it is and save SE money for a NAS.

Because I am asking myself: if you don’t have a place to store the data temporarily, where is your backup? Sounds like you don’t have one. In this case you can save for the NAS AMD use the external drive as a backup drive attached to the NAS. Win-Win maybe?
