“Well, we raided his mom’s house and confiscated all his cobbled-together e-waste.”
“And!?”
“His drives were encrypted. Apparently he ‘applied PQC patches to dm-crypt himself’, whatever that means. All I know is that it made the guys from NSA scream. There was nothing we could do.”
“So we’ve got nothing?”
“Oh no. He happily gave us both the keyfile and the passphrase.”
“So…?”
“No warez, no CSA, no political manifestos or illicit recipes. Not even tax evasion - it’s not like he has an income. Just… copyleft source code as far as the eye could see.”
copyleft source code is a telltale sign of communism, thus anon can be associated with Big terrorist like the Antifa.
I lol’d at this. But seriously, privacy is a fundamental human right. You don’t need to have something to hide to assert your right of privacy.
The NSA dude screamed in ecstasy because someone finally used his dm-crypt patches.
Feels more and more likely living in the land of freedum right now.
give them the duress password gg
Time for the $5 wrench…
Or just beat the shit out of them and get the info you need (or more likely want).
I love this idea when in reality they probably have some Israeli 3rd party that they use that can just pop any system in under an hour regardless of any protection you think you have.
They missed out the firmware in the WiFi adapter
Linux nerds literally only want one thing and it’s fucking the idea that your full disk encryption will pay off one day.
Is there any reason to do full disk encryption, vs encrypting a single partiton or a folder with eCryptfs? It’s not like your /usr/bin, etc… needs to be encrypted, but encrypting it reduces performance.

It can, but most likely it only would if you’re doing illegal shit and get caught. They’d search your place for evidence and FDE could keep them from discovering some things.
But uh, if they got that far into investigating you then you’re probably already screwed.
Not true at all. Governments regularly raid political dissidents. It’s a disciplinary tactic in and of itself. I’ve been raided for plenty of shit and never been convicted of any crime.
I’m in this post and I like it.
Thoughts on Gentoo over something like Fedora? (Or whatever you’re using)
Gentoo is fun and a nice way to learn more about computers. Their wiki and their community was really good when I was into it, I’m sure it still is. But compiling everything from scratch is quite demanding of your CPU and your time, so it’s not really something that you run as your daily driver for long.
