I've seen the recommendations of software raid0. The answers are all technically correct.

Don't do this. Especially with real hardware. If you lose one drive, you will lose both the drives.

Could you give us more info on how your other encrypted drive is mounted and meant to be used?

• It is possible to get the second encrypted drive to decrypt and mount automatically, without logging in.
• It's possible to do it without leaving a key for your second drive on your primary hard drive using a TPM
• It is possible to get both drives to decrypt automatically and mount

It all depends how the encryption is being done, and where the mount points are.

Could you give us:

• The rough dimensions of the drive partitions (fdisk -l)
• Your current mount points after mounting the second drive (df -h)

In my experience, those apps don't detect immediately, sometimes only alarming beyond 5 mins after contact. I have to assume by default to save power the scans are rate limited, like with WiFi scans.

Those apps have to be allowed to scan when the glasses are transmitting to detect them, providing limited success.

Lovers in a dangerous space time has been suggested already, so I'll just mention it as a second vote!

Magicka and Magicka 2 are excellent, and hilarious. Might be a bit hectic later on, but early on both are pretty low stakes and paced slowly.

My other recommendation is Octodad. You control independent limbs of an octopus, pretending to be a man. Multiplayer is couch co-op. Remote play would be tougher, but still very funny!

Well actually, she's married to the muffin man...

The trouble is the bootloader is often not relockable with a custom avb key

The only OEM with official support for relocking the boot loader with a custom avb key is Google sadly

Concrete strategies are pervertable. Values are less so. If you know what you're aiming for, you should be able to evaluate any strategies you encounter to see if they align. It's also not possible to build one strategy for everyone. How could you make it right for all communities? How could you force everyone to follow it? You'd need a state...

Reading more about anarchism in general should expose you to concrete examples of what has been tried, how it worked, and how it was destroyed. I'd start with Orwell in Spain and the Anarcho-Syndicalysts.

Based on my understanding, the method by which we get from the world today to the an anarchist society is often conflated with the social revolution of socialism. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. I doubt it. What I do know, is that anarchism isn't just a theory - it's a practice. We are meant to live it, not just talk about it.

Start with anarchism as a spice. Any time you're in a position to influence the governance of something, a project, club, society or council, insist on making sure that all use of authority is justified.

Get involved in everything you can, be the person that brings the anarchist perspective. You don't need to call yourself an anarchist and proclaim your actions for the cause. This isn't a crusade, you're not killing in the name of. It's about making sure that use of authority is justified. Offer the anarchist options, show others how to live a different way.

Finally, always be aware someone will recognize what you are and what you're about. Anarchism is about making power justify itself, and if it can't, abolishing that power. This means that those that seek power will always notice you're the problem to them acquiring more power. They will seek to eliminate or neuter your ability to interfere.

If you're making small waves in a small community, the response will likely be similarly small. If you've succeeded in making a whole region change to a different way of life, maybe it's a national guard with guns that comes knocking. Both can be devastating.

If that sounds like a lot of effort, it is. That's why the world hasn't switched overnight. I would say however, that it's no more effort than is required anyway. Every strategy picked must be checked for suitability - the ends cannot justify the means.

I mean, they're 100% correct to do this. Forgejo is definitionally a SaaS application thanks to https://codeberg.org/. Specifically because of the affero clause, you can't relicense AGPLv3 code as GPLv3, so you can't include it in the project.

Moving it to some sort of pluggable module would be good, rather than just dropping it though. There's nothing stopping them shipping code that downloads and sets up exif-terminator. I think working with the AGPL would send a good message and set a good example here.

Reopened issue to resolve the problem

Preinstalled OS is useable, though you'll want to update it.

Installing the updated OS on an SD card is easy enough. I haven't tried flashing it to disk yet. I've not felt hampered by major performance penalties.

The WiFi dongle workaround is that simple, yes. Pick one that's supported in the mainline kernel, and you're off to the races.

Be aware, you'll need to pick one that's USB C if you don't want a second converter attached.

My preference would be to tether my phone I think - but my USB C 2.5G Ethernet adapter worked pretty well too.

Some more presient info from my investigation:

I got the latest Danctnix 20260630 running on it, and it's working better now. Suspend is unmasked in that version, but it is not working all the time.

The WiFi driver is still unstable, but you can disconnect/reconnect quick enough when it drifts off.

Running phosh and sxmo/sway was a fair bit faster than full KDE.

The primary problem is hardware acceleration. For video, it's just not there yet. You can make some video formats work, but this SoC is limited in what it can do in hardware, on its VPU. What little can be done, isn't available without compiling your own ffmpeg.

This link shows what can be done with the 3566 hardware:

https://pine64.org/documentation/General/Mainline_Hardware_Decoding/

This link shows how it can be done:

https://clehaxze.tw/gemlog/2023/09-17-hardware-accelerated-playback-on-pinetab2.gmi

The bottom line is, without hardware acceleration for video decoding, it feels very underpowered.

I did bother to set it all up, and it's a damn competent little tablet when you do - but all your effort won't apply to streamed video unless you use MPV or something to play it, to take advantage of the ffmpeg. Straight up Firefox and chromium don't offer selectors for YouTube etc to pick the right encoding format for your CPU, and they typically use more modern encoding formats. (e.g. VP9 over VP8)

Also, battery life is great! I'm sure not playing video helps...

Very much dependent on the particular hardware - here, the pinetab2 has some support. The danctnix mobile linux community maintains builds for it, so it's a subset of Arch on Arm.

https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/danctnix-packages/tree/main/pine64/device-pine64-pinetab2

outside of that, there's some limited support for postmarketOS and mobian

A good place to start understanding the challenges you'd face would be on the wiki:

I just bought one. The default KDE is a bit heavyweight for it, I'm thinking something lighter might be better.

I would say that they perfectly nailed the description, this is not a beginner device. You'll not be distrohopping without knowing how to patch your own WiFi drivers and fix the auto rotate (90° clockwise further than it should be out of the box).

I love it, really cool. But not an easy in for beginners.

Feel free to ask me questions or check something, or send a picture of something!

I replaced an NVMe drive on a Windows 11 machine the other day. Cloned to new disk, booted up. After posting and entering the bootloaders, it said "BOOT DRIVE INACCESSIBLE". The drive needed a driver to BOOT once Windows took over.

A Western Digital 850x black 2TB. This is not an uncommon drive, but I had to patch in the driver to the disk from a live CD.

I don't see how people put up with this crap.
