So apropos of nothing, how do y'all handle encryption at rest for your home server(s)?
I mean, I know how to setup full disk encryption, but how to provide the key? I'm talking about a headless setup on physical hardware, here.
My current solution is an initrd that spawns an SSH server and waits for me to manually login and supply the pass phrase on every boot. Which works, but it's kinda annoying, especially if there's a power failure while I'm somewhere I can't access SSH. Also, it kinda feels brittle (I keep fearing it won't come back up on the next reboot).
So does anyone have any better solutions?
#linux #security #encryption

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me.
Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order.
I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you?
I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.
And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.

Leaflet is a JavaScript library that lets you add custom markers to an Openstreetmap map:

Think that might work for you? Not affiliated with the project, just a happy user at one point 😃

New blog post: The XDP Traffic Generator
Explaining how (as of kernel 5.18) it is possible to use #XDP to implement a high-performance traffic generator, which is also part of the xdp-tools package.

Managed to work around the bus problem by means of a quick switch of transportation mode, courtesy of Enterprise car rental. It's only a two hour drive from Badajoz to my final destination in Beja, and as an added bonus I won't have to catch a train at 8 in the morning when I'm going back on Monday. Win! Not sure why I didn't just do this from the beginning, actually. Definitely not booking Flixbus again 😬
Anyway, in the end I arrived only an hour later than originally planned, so Denmark-Portugal completed. Yay! Was quite fun, actually, think I'll do it again in reverse; maybe as soon as next week! 🤔

Smooth run to Barcelona, and afterwards from there to Madrid. Identical TGV-style trains, just run by different operators, although I think OUIGO is also owned by SNCF? Anyway, quite comfortable, and the only snag was a would-be bag snatcher outside the station in Barcelona who was fortunately thwarted by a helpful bystander... Phew! 😅
Oh, and also the WiFi has been terrible on all trains so far. Apparently that technology is beyond us, still... 😞

And off again! Another TGV, this time a seven-hour run from Paris to Barcelona. Managed to secure myself a first-class seat on the top floor for this, so should be a fantastic view the whole way.
Also, the French trains are *long*! Which is always great to discover when arriving at the platform a few minutes before departure and then having to walk the whole length of the train to get to the furthest carriage... 😅

Second day, Hamburg-Paris via Mannheim. First train only slightly delayed thus far, so my 11-minute connection time is now down to 7 minutes according to the DB projection. Should be fine, right? 😅
Otherwise quite comfortable on the ICE, there's even WiFi that sometimes works!

Starting out on my three-day trip by train from Denmark to Portugal. Off to a great start with the Copenhagen-Hamburg train being half an hour late before I even got on it, and also missing a carriage so the remaining ones are packed to the brim. Yay, adventure! 😂 #trains
