  • ur def right about this. there are a few other things (e. g. cached mail etc) that would be good to encrypt, which I don’t do right now.

    if my computer gets stolen I figure no one will bother with my data unless they stand to immediately gain financially. e.g. ransom. my data (I have backups) or access my bank info (I keep this encrypted) and steal my identity. so I protect against this as best as I can without sacrificing usability too much




  • lol no. i currently reboot once every two weeks and find it a chore. (it’s my one complaint about arch as the kernel updates are so frequent). I’m def not going to waste time reopening all my windows and tabs every time I open my computer just to keep my zshrc encrypted. i realized long ago that security and usability are inversely related, and I picked the middle ground that suits me


  • usually I sleep my laptop and take it with me. with full disk encryption, if my bag gets stolen my files are all decrypted if the attacker gets past the lock screen.

    getting past a lock screen is much easier than breaking encryption ofc

    more importantly my desktop is online 24/7 with a static IP. if I get hacked they get all my data (bank passwords etc). but with the one folder encryption, if I get hacked they get my zshrc and init.lua 🙂







  • thanks for this. I’ve been using xournal since 2006, and switched to xournal++ maybe 7 or 8 years ago. didn’t think I would ever switch again. but rnote looks like it’s good enough for me to make the switch.

    1. strong defaults. most things did what I wanted without me having to configure anything. i configured xournal++ a lot

    2. invert brightness!! i basically start a new file everytime I had to switch from dark to light with xournal++. with rnote I can just hit the invert colors button…

    3. better handwry, zoom, drag, interface
