And technically the key file can just be a plain text password and still work. Just as long as the key file matches the drive’s encryption password.

If its encrypted, you can also decrypt the drive automatically once booted by adding an entry in /etc/crypttab

This will make it so you don’t have to type the password.

Yes, i read the article, my dude. What they’re referring to there is the actual AI software. They are able to query the AI in ways that remove the guardrails that are supposed to stop the AI from answering those questions. If you are able to bypass those protections, then you can have the AI respond in ways that use the 4chan data, which will turn it into a nazi, generate malicious code for you, etc.

Well yeah. Its trained on scraped 4chan data. Tf were they expecting?

My solution is to avoid services that are anti-lurker.

If im not able to view it without logging in, i just accept it, not watch it, and move on with my life.

Its perfect for a small VPS. Been using it for years.

I do occasionally get places where my email simply will not send to them, even though it follows every email standard properly and isnt blacklisted. For those rare occasions, ill use a third party email address to send, which then forwards everything to my main email.

Per the Arch Wiki:

The AUR is unsupported, so any packages you install are your responsibility to update, not pacman’s. If packages in the official repositories are updated, you will need to rebuild any AUR packages that depend on those libraries.

Arch Wiki - Arch User Repository

They have a whole wiki for the AUR.

Arch Wiki - Arch User Repository

To update the package, you use git to pull the latest branch code and repeat the process. You should double check if there are dependency changes though.

Like I said, its easier with a pacman wrapper, but not necessary.

You definitely do not need to use any pacman wrappers to build a package from the AUR. Those tools make it easy, yes, but are not required.

Building a package can be as simple as

• git clone AURpackagehere
• cd AURpackagehere
• makepkg -si

They acknowledge many wrappers, not just yay. However, none are officially supported.

Arch Wiki

Pacman is the only standard package manager for Arch. Arch recommends against using third party package managers, including Yay.

What issues were you having with arch-install that you had to troubleshoot?

Rust-based and actively developed

Why EndeavorOS over arch-install?

Nah, you were right. Im just joshin around.

Excuse me, did I put a “/s” in my message?

I love watching sex with my son. This is a great suggestion for OP and their son.

Right but Signal has been audited by various security firms throughout its lifetime, and each time they generally report back that this messenger has encryption locked down properly.

Being critical is good, and we should always hold them accountable for our security. We can look to third party audits for help with that.
