I just found out that in the past few months there has been work happening in @gnome to allow for encrypting user home directories using homed : https://thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2024/02/twig-136/#home-encryption

It appears as though this would put each home directory inside its own LUKS container that would be locked when the user logs out or the hardware suspends. This would be a major improvement to the security profile of on the desktop!

Currently, on most systems (including Linux) regular user data is only effectively protected by system encryption when the hardware is completely turned off, but not when it is suspended.

hello, man of the new millennium, 21st century. Have you been able to realize yourself? was it able to achieve what the 19th-century science fiction wrote? Look at yourself, man. You live in a house that is not your (a mortgage), drive a car that does not belong to you (debt), you get that depreciates before you buy anything, you have finished your studies but still haven't paid 40,000 tuition fees and most likely won't pay in the next 5 years. You can't afford to live the way you want and your home is no longer your fortress. You're alone. You don't belong to yourself.

Hello, 21st century man!

I'm in need of a new chair. I've had my current one for many years and it's time to look for a replacement. Does anyone have any brands they recommend? Not trying to break the bank either.

Do "stick" vacuums have standard chargers or at least standard mounting holes? I want to mount up the charger so I can hang the vacuum up in the closet but I don't want to re-mount every time I get a new vacuum

I know it's just a couple holes in drywall but I'm baby

"So, what are your plans for today?" they asked her.

"I'll be quite busy," she replied. "I have a major project that I'm sure will take me all afternoon to work on, maybe into the evening. But I know I most certainly won't be available for anything else."

Time. It's a gift that we rarely allow ourselves to use for ourselves.

I'm ready to be disapointed again, anyone got a ?

I'm looking at the Q5+ and Q8 Max+. Obstacle avoidance sounds very good with the kittens dragging toys everywhere. allegedly it can climb my thresholds and has lidar unlike irobot's stuff.

Still...for the price it better work, but with 3 cats I think I need something decent to keep up on fur/litter

This is Red Eyes Coffee in North Center and it is our neighbourhood coffee shop. We only live about a two minute walk from here and we go very often. We go so often we feel like it is our second living room.

It has very reasonable prices and is not fussy or pretentous. A cozy place that is perfect on a sunny and a rainy day.

Anyone know of some good WiFi wall sockets that would work with Home Assistant?

I'd like some plugs to control some lights around the house or some other bits

Any home automation tips welcome!

A friend who served w/some of the most experienced feminist negotiators in the world as a key lobbyist for U.S. commitments to IHR agreements like the Vienna conference & Beijing Plan of Action, sends me this statement “signed by many of us who actually worked to get rape recognized as a weapon of war…, to create mechanisms of accountability, & [set] strategies for collecting unbiased data & evidence,” re Israeli & US govt efforts to use rape to whip support for genocide.

How the housing industry is working to stop energy efficient homes

"Home have used their political muscle to prevent states and cities from adopting the latest code, which would lower the impact of new houses

advocates say affordability is a convenient talking point for the home builders. They say the industry is mainly concerned with its profit margins"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/02/21/homebuilders-energy-efficiency-climate/

"For one thing, that $20,000 figure comes from an NAHB survey of just eight homebuilders, according to NCPR. It appears to be a wild exaggeration.

A federal study found the new standards would actually raise building expenses by $4,700 to $6,500 for a single-family

Lower energy bills mean homeowners would recoup their upfront costs in just a few years. And hiring a contractor to upgrade later would cost many multiples of that."
