This guide walks you through setting up a secure external drive, perfect for backing up sensitive data, securely handing over large data sets, or storing important files. It covers creating an encrypted drive that’s easy to unlock with trusted devices, such as a security key, while remaining highly secure if misplaced. Ideal for safeguarding personal data or business files, it offers practical recovery steps to ensure access even if you change devices.

By following this guide, you will have established a secure and user-friendly encrypted storage solution that leverages:

• LUKS2 Encryption: Provides robust disk encryption.
• TPM2 Integration: Enables automatic unlocking on trusted hardware.
• FIDO2 Tokens: Offers flexible acc

REISUB

If a Linux machine locks up or freezes completely, use REISUB to restart it more gently than pushing the Power Button.

Hold down Alt and the SysReq (Print Screen) keys, and then type R E I S U B, with 2-3 second delays between the key presses to give the commands a better chance to complete.

• R: Switch the keyboard from raw mode to XLATE mode
• E: Send the SIGTERM signal to all processes except init
• I: Send the SIGKILL signal to all processes except init
• S: Sync all mounted filesystems

hi, and goodbye

The past few weeks has not been fun on IRC, the drama based on false information and assumptions has been insane. I've almost entirely been silent on the drama because I know the fallout that would happen if I spoke up.

A quick TLDR - I'm quitting all IRC development. KiwiIRC project lead, IRCv3 technical board, supporting the multitude of IRC networks, the lot.

Many people seem to think that I am supporting one side in everything that is going on, so just to be clear: I am not supporting any side of the current freenode drama - there is so much false information going around from everywhere that it is impossible to support anybody.

Woo freenode drama

Extract chapter XML files for all MKVs:

for /r %i in (*.mkv) do (mkvextract "%i" chapters "%~ni".xml)

Remove all chapters from MKVs:

for /r %i in (*.mkv) do (mkvpropedit "%i" --chapters "")
