I love pineapple and really strongly dislike it on pizza. The only time I’ve had “acceptable” pineapple on pizza is when it was chopped up really tiny and I could barely taste it.
My problem with pineapple on pizza is,
Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?
Assuming US, it actually depends on the state (may be all states, but I can only speak of those I’ve lived in). The law is that the money must go into a separate interest bearing account and that is the money that is to be returned. So the money isn’t supposed be their own pocket.
As you mentioned elsewhere it’s encrypted.
Take a look at /etc/crypttab and creating and adding a key file that can unlock the drive.
Essentially your additional SSD will have both a password and a file containing a password that can unlock the drive. When you unlock your root filesystem (I’m guessing at boot) it will then have the key file that can unlock the SSD.
Something like cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/pathtossd --new-keyfile /etc/newpassword
Systemd might make this easier to setup nowadays.
Edit: Also, yes, the password to unlock your SSD is just sitting in a file in your root drive. Be sure to restrict it to only be readable by root.
Oh I completely agree. There is a reason it took me a while and careful observation before I figured it out.
I assume it’s part of, or started as, a little password dance. Something like, “abc123DEF”.
Or maybe it just comes from the idea that only a single key can be pressed at a time?
Either way I completely agree, insane.
I agree, but it’s more common than you’d think.
I used to work at an organization that used Chromebooks, which replaces the caps lock key with a search key (same shape, different behaviour). I was surprised at the number of people who struggled with their passwords because they would hit the “search” key, enter a single letter, and then hit “search” again. It took me a little while to figure it out because… Who does that?
Knoppix. I didn’t see it listed yet so I had to chime in.
I saw it and was confused that computers could run something that wasn’t Windows and wasn’t Mac. Then I was handed a Knoppix LiveCD and suddenly MY computer was Linux. Absolutely blew my mind.
I then explored Mandrake (now Mandrivia?) for a while but it never really stuck.
A few years later Ubuntu was handing out LivdCDs to everyone running Warty Warthog and soon after window managers started to use Beryl (?) which let you have a fancy cube desktop. Absolutely pointless but that’s how it all started.
