souce?

What? Aren’t you talking about lime?

could people maybe… oh idk… lie on the internet?

No problem, thanks for the help. Also I got news is that I don’t have to trust anyone with my laptop, I can keep it by my side after all. Still it’s a security mesure, that I didn’t solve in time. fun fact: LUKS on /home only breaks KDE. I really don’t want to give up kde tho, I put on sway, realised that I needed to memorise console commands to change my fking volumes, so no thank you. I got spoiled by sweet UIs. it’s so comfortable that everything is at one place.

cat ~/.config/startkderc returns systemdBoot=true. I’m guessing you made a typo and this is correct. In this case I guess it just doesn’t work on KDE, my next idea is LUKS on /home and hibernating instead of sleeping. Or I always wanted to try a tiling window manager… hm

In that case: maybe I’ll try it on the weekends, I heard it takes a while to run. Thanks for the toy :p

mine’s m.2 too. I tried systemd-homed, as of now it doesn’t work as it should. Next I’ll try disk/partition one but it’d be great to encrypt when sleeping, it’s fine if it’s hibernation

What I’m getting from this is badblocks isn’t a magical tool that makes all storage devices faster and better anymore. correct? The fact that modern storage devices do that is a bit scary. I’m guessing it’s firmware, no way to turn it off. And why would you, it helps you, just takes control away from you.

I wasn’t really trying to wipe my storage device, but to make it faster. However you said a bunch of interesting stuff, and I thank you for that.

Okay I just had a bit of freetime to test it: doesn’t work… if I log out or sleep, my home dir is still mounted. Meaning it’s as good as nothing. Looked at the plasma fix, didn’t work. I have a pretty good lead, that I need the topmost template from some wiki:

[Unit]
PartOf=graphical-session.target

Problem is, where in the world should I write this? I really don’t expect you to know, but maybe I’m talking to a genius. The internet didn’t help, or I used it wrong.

didn’t run a timer, it was still fast enough, but for turning it off and on every 5 minutes (or more realisticly hour)… I’d like the fastest possible. I’ll have fun with this badblocks, sounds OP af. However I don’t think it’s a good sign if this returns anything right? I could make it so the filesystem avoids that block, that is good and all, but doesn’t that means my SSD started “turning bad”. So either way I should get a new one? If one cell fails other will soon follow, and my data is lost, no?

Hehe, Thank you. But by the time I’m reading this I’ve already done it. Got stuck on a couple or roadblocks, but figured it out. I got scared when I didn’t “enable” the service just “start” it. I’m not safe(-ish enough). :D

edit: well not the plasma fix. wiki said if it’s a problem I need to start something, and that something should be on by default. So I didn’t do anything, maybe that’s a problem

I’m not planning on putting information on my laptop that I don’t have to. Speed for a bit of security sounds good. I’ll look into ecryptfs. And also into boot time, lots of you are screaming at me that it’s a fast laptop. what how

I bought it used, so I’m interested in your last point. I’ve reinstalled it - first thing I did. Do SSDs slow down overtime? And there is a linux command to fix that? Sound crazy, can you elaborate?

Oh, I think I’ll wipe my laptop, and do it live. What I wanted to ask was how do I know if it’s working?

Are the detectors part for real or were you just kidding? 😲

they got your back, why are you suprised?

Others also said systemd-homed. And it looks promising, I’ll try it, but honestly I have no idea how to test it? From another user? From a liveboot usb?

Detectors say that you are human, you use multiple languages, and you are a moderator, but it feels like a 101 AI response. It’s horrible that we’re living in an era where you need to be careful about this. You were probably trying to format it nice, but I’ve only read this phrasing from AI.

But thanks for the answer, the home folder would probably be best. I don’t want to think about it after setting it up. All my downloads and docs are there. I also feel like the whole filesystem would take forever for me to unlock/boot.

Sounds perfect. I’ll need more sources to understand what it’s doing and how to config it. Thanks!

Is your idea to do the easier decrypt on boot, and optimize the boot times?

I could probably do that, but someone else said that there is a decrypt on hibernate, seems better.

okay I got my homework, I’ll read on these.
