There are a lot of GOP-controller legislatures in the USA pushing through so-called “child protection” laws, but there’s a toll in the form of impacting people’s rights and data privacy. Most of these bills involve requiring adults to upload a copy of their photo ID.

So, I’ve installed Manjaro quite while ago, and I let secure boot disabled during installation. Dang! Is there a way to keep (most of) my system and enable secure boot and LUKS after the fact?

I’ve been trying Workstation recently. Python dependency issues caused me to switch to Silverblue for the last 2 years. A new machine with Nvidia got me to try WS.

XFS is more like ext3 or ext4 than zfs. It has now COW, snapshots, although it is very performant and can handle very large volumes. It’s a pretty good all around filesystem. I trust it more than ext4, but you also can’t shrink it, like you can ext4.

It allows me to copy select datasets inside the pool.
So I can choose rpool/USERDATA/so-n-so_123xu4 for user so-n-so. I can also choose copy copy some or all of the rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_abcdef, and it’s nested datasets.
I settle for backing up users and rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_abcdef, ignoring the stuff in var datasets. This gets me my users home, roots home, /opt. Tis all I need. I have snapshots and mirrored m2 ssd’s for handling most other problems (which I’ve not yet had).
The only bugger is /boot (on bpool). Kernel updates grown in there and fill it up, even if you remove them via apt… because snapshots. So I have to be careful to clean it’s snapshots.

Dude, I’d long been dual ISDN by then. If my connection to my ISP ever went down, it was a race to see which of us called the other first and they’d work to resolve it with me right then.
I had emails back then from both home and work (and BBS rimemail and fido) all burned to CD’s for archival. Found them 10 years ago in storage, none were still readable. :(
Yeah. I mean, I knew that was a possibility, I’d read that plenty of times… I’d think, oh, I need to transfer those someday. Someday. Aaaaand it’s gone. :(
I’ve heard they are doing this to comply with things like GDPR. If that’s the case, and they are deleting accounts to not be storing personal information longer than allowed, then before closing your account, they should email you an encrypted bundle of your data that you could later send back to them to restore your account. It wouldn’t be against those laws if they send it to you to keep… and it would provide you with a path back to full restoration.
