    i’m leaving my cushy, fat-paychecked job for another one that doesn’t leave me so conflicted with my leftists values and the content of this article is PRECISELY at the core of what i’ll be doing most weekdays for the next 3-5 years.

    Some good ideas, looking to try homed out. I really hope it becomes easier to ssh into a host when your home directory is mounted from a NAS.

    I hope you won’t mind my beginner question: would that have any advantage for a single home user like myself? I mean would it help to do backup easier (I backup my home folder already) and accelerate a restore in case I have to reinstall Linux? Or is it just a seemingly great tool for sysadmins, for some specific use cases?

      One important benefit will be, that it discards the key when locking the screen (when integrated in the DE). So the drive is protected when you are not at your machine. The old mechanism only discards the key when restarting the computer. But who shuts his/hers laptop down…

        Thx for the clarification.

        I’m one of those persons that (tries to) shut their computer off every time they’re not using it — waste less energy, you know, stuff like that ;)

          May s.b. will steal your laptop, when you are at lunch 😀

          In general I’m with, but the standby current is really low, especially when writing the memory to disk…

              This is up to the implementation of the DE 😀

              Also on the phone you want probably listen to music, when it is locked.

              Gnome plans to add some options like, if you want to use this feature at all or lock securely only after X time after screen is locked. But I think. the implementation hasn’t really started yet

              For sure all DE will provide some options.
