You can decrypt via ssh at boot. I used dropbear to accomplish that on my machine

not reading all that...tldr?

I've paid for Spotify for years and it is, without a doubt, getting shittier. They removed the integrated google maps car mode without a real replacement. They push podcasts, which most users do not care about, heavily now, despite having poor support for them UX-wise. They keep moving UI elements around without purpose. I've read they also have an exploitative revenue model for musicians on the service, but haven't confirmed that bit myself.

I'm all for using AI to ease the burden of cover letters, but a real candidate is going to check the result before sending

Thanks to you and everyone else in this thread that recommended HeliBoard. It's excellent

DDG is abysmal for technical subjects such as programming. When searching for anything mildly specific in that arena, I nearly always need to re-search on a different engine to find anything useful

Brand recs? The ones I have aren't great

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

Don't have the time to get into a grammar debate. Just letting you know why you're being downvoted since no one else told you why your statement is incorrect

'All precautions' is plural, so you have to use 'are'. Using 'is' is in no way correct there; the 'deterrents' bit has nothing to do with it

If that's as deep as your understanding of a game goes, then nothing anyone here says will make you see otherwise. I say this sincerely: I hope you find a game this year that re-sparks your optimism for the industry, because it has more to offer in spite of the cynical publishers that have stomped into it over the last decade or two

Other than the perspective and some of the more general RPG features like leveling and loot, they have very little in common. BG3 is the perfect, but unfortunately rare, example of a mainstream game that deliberately doesn't follow the more toxic trends of the industry

Dredge, Lethal Company, and Against the Storm from last year. Less recently I'd say Vampire Survivors, Sifu, Yuppie Psycho, and Hollow Knight. There are many more I'm blanking on I'm sure

No one is saying simply "don't stress". Recognizing when stress is centered around something outside your influence can be a step toward dealing with it. That may not work for some, but it does for others - as I said, different strokes. Making a broad generalization about what is and isn't good advice is reductive and only shuts down advice that may help OP

hey, one of the greatest shows ever made

The industry at large has gone to shit, but there are positives. Game dev tools are more accessible now than they've ever been. The indie market is thriving and has recently produced games that are some of the most creative and interesting I've ever seen

Dismissing advice that doesn't work for you personally isn't helpful - different strokes and all. I've dealt with anxiety and have found that rationalizing emotional responses to events outside my control normally works well for me. Ultimately, there's no one-size solution, so people need to try different approaches to find what works for them. A variety of perspectives is always best

Ironically, these are the sorts of questions you should be asking a therapist. More general advice is to only allow yourself to stress about things in your control. There's a lot of shittiness in the world, and stressing over it is poison to your mental well-being. Focus on what you can change and let go of anything beyond that. It helps me to try giving people the benefit of the doubt, e.g. imagine a scenario where your therapist ghosting you is justifiable - maybe a close family member of theirs was in an accident - and choose to believe that. While it may not always be correct, this is a much better way to live for your part.

"That's my purse!!!"

Running fewer commands as root is more significant risk reduction than having an extra user. I won't be replying further since I'm simply repeating what others have already said. If you sincerely don't understand, I suggest doing additional research on your own.
