  • I’m also of the opinion that if a bad actor capable of navigating the linux file system and getting my information from it has physical access to my disk, it’s game over anyway.

    I am sorry but that is BS. Encryption is not easy to break like in some Movies.

    If you are referring to that a bad actor breaks in and modifies your hardware with for example a keylogger/sniffer or something then that is something disk encryption does not really defend against.







  • Go with the drive with the best money/TB rate that meets your criterias. I would consider everything above ironwolf or red plus fitting for NAS use. Data center drives are in my experience often cheaper than NAS drives. (wd ultrastar or seagate exos or toshiba enterprise capacity)

    Look for the warranty. Some times another drive for just a couple of bucks gives you a way longer warranty.




  • Initramfs and initrd are 2 different things, the problem where the confusion happens is that initrd is deprecated since a few years.

    Now, systemd has implemented an interface called systemd-initrd which basically is initramfs.

    I guess here is were the confusion lies. Nowadays everything is initramfs even if it called initrd.

    The original initrd differs from initramfs, but it is no longer a thing.

    Sorry if i came across a little bit snappy have not had a great week so far.
