  • Beehaw is not causing drama, Lemmy.world and shitjustworks caused drama by filling their instances with turdbrainz. Beehaw literally removed themselves from the equation. That's deescalation not escalation.

  • I say donate to smaller niche instances instead of the big ones that are just trying to recreate Reddit.

  • aaaaand it's gone

  • I haven't dove too much into the world of Arcade games but would love to do this. I have also been trying to think of a way to do virtual "quarters", possibly donating to charity or something, because infinite quarters takes a lot of the fun out of the games.

  • It's almost as if human-powered platforms never went bad and it's all the capitalistic nonsense that made them shitty.

  • Fascinating, you don't have automatic login enabled? And I assume this is at the pre-login prompt?

  • Auto decrypt with TPM sounds fine to me but I have no idea what TPM is as this is my first PC with it.

    Thanks for the great response though I'll look into these

  • I don't think so, they are both intel macs over 10 years old and Macs didn't start adding TPM until 2017. On Mac, when you check the box to encrypt the drive during install you're prompted for an encryption password which you never need to use again unless you remove the drive and put it into another mac (or in my case add a second hard drive and use the original as "extra" storage).

  • I think this is what I might have to do as I really don't want to go back to Windows. I don't suppose if you know if there is a way to lock the drive upon logging out? Or do I need to do a full shutdown every time.

  • Yeah I don't need a silver bullet I'm not storing highly sensitive data, I just mistakenly assumed this would be easier.

  • I don't suppose you know of a tutorial to get this set up? Google turned up nothing.

  • as long as you don’t set a drive encryption password to be entered at BIOS load before the OS loads, which is what you’ve done.

    MacOS does ask for a different password during setup, which you never have to use again unless you want to access the drive on a different PC.

  • I appreciate the concern but odds are if someone is stealing my PC its not going to be a 1337 hax0r. I am not keeping government docs on here I just don't want someone to be able to rip out the HDD and have easy access to everything.

  • Thanks, Zorin is based on Ubuntu so I have to assume it will be up to date with stuff like TPM which is 15 years old. The data on the page you linked is pretty advanced for me but I'll give it a shot. Appreciate you addressing my question.

  • To the OC; if you happen to use GNOME, then check out the settings in the DISKS app. It has auto-unlock options in the per-drive settings.

    Thanks so much!

    EDIT: This didn't work

  • That's just not true I have two macs with it enabled on both and it requires a single "normal" password

  • That's not technically true as enabling bitlocker on windows and filevault on Mac don't require two different passwords.
