"What can I use to encrypt my Linux filesystem?":

– LUKS/LVM supports full-disk encryption (and optionally 2FA)
– ext4 supports folder-based encryption
– eCryptFS/encfs are outdated/unmaintained
– GoCryptFS uses modern crypto but leaks metadata
– CryFS uses modern crypto and hides metadata but is slower than GoCryptFS

Thanks to Mr. Schumacher from Magdeburger Institut für Sicherheitsforschung

Start them young I say. Don’t wait to go FULL BSD like I did.

Also this is absolutely not a subtoot for an omnipresent author as an alternative book cover. No, not at all.

So, I'm working on enabling #FreeBSD's new (and incomplete) ASR implementation to live in the same source tree as #HardenedBSD's ASLR implementation.

This means that HardenedBSD users would be able to switch at boot-time which implementation they'd prefer.

Since FreeBSD's implementation doesn't randomize the stack and the shared page, I'll likely "borrow" HardenedBSD's implementation for that until FreeBSD implements these missing bits.

Computers were briefly suitcase-sized before the laptop form took over. They also lost mechanical keyboards and a bit of charm I think.

Here's another scale shot of the portable computer, next to a very serious looking business laptop.

Here are more of the weird computers I was looking at while I worked on my own portable.

I never got around to learning BASIC, I finally have the hardware though.

Today in history, Netscape Corporation was founded. I find it funny that a browser company that no longer exists was started on 4/04. #tbt

Moving and packing so pardon me for lack of retrocomputing content… enjoy this cat kneading in the meantime
