Looking at RHEL docs it seems to also work there. The same instructions probably work in Fedora but idk I've never done it myself

I think the traditional way to do that is via dm-crypt, which you can set up with an ssh server.

You can also use a network-shared file rather than a password for LUKS but it's not as straightforward to set up as a password. If you are doing something like tailscale then it'd be unlocked as long as you are on the VPN

Typing in a password in-person at a data center would be a huge hassle, agreed

I'm happy with regular password FDE, i think i'm more likely to encounter hardware failure (and then need to read the drive from another machine) than theft of the drive.

It's a good point though, I'm sure many people do need this feature. Ubuntu is "working on it" but so far i guess it's mostly not working except for VMs

My worst one was accidentally overwriting my backup when trying to clone it.

I was using a standalone drive cloning device and I mixed up the "source" and "target" slots. It was a 4tb drive so the operation took about 3 hours.

At the end, i plugged in the clone to check it and saw that it was blank. I ended up having to make a new backup before i was able to try the cloning again.

Since it was a backup, nothing of value was lost, but it sure was a waste of an afternoon

I believe you, but my experience is the opposite. Generally wifi doesnt work ootb on Windows for systems i've set up, and newer games are crashy until you install the latest chipset drivers. The drivers Windows installs seem to be many versions back and have been unstable IME

on Ubuntu or Fedora i've not had a single issue in over a decade. Not one time has a component not worked for me on the first boot. It's been truly flawless. Games work at full performance right away.

My only possible explanation is that we must be working with pretty different hardware

See, Ubuntu only requires pressing next 6 times, and Fedora is only 8.

That's essentially what it boils down to nowadays.

Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Debian, Mint are also next, next, yes

But those pickle jars also use your monitor's native resolution

Windows on the other hand..

RHEL comes with very limited repos, so this might help: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/

Jello still gets 100% of his royalties, that was part of the final settlement

The Supreme thing is very gross, first I'm hearing about it. That's tasteless and the Brazil thing sounds scummy too

The bandmates got a court to back their "side" twice. Tens of thousands went missing because Jello is a "bad bookkeeper". One time he stole/lost $76,000 that had been paid by their record company.

Jello has always had a bad reputation in the Bay Area punk community, i wouldnt give his side that much credit. It's fishy stuff and his blaming everything on the Levi's ad is a cute distraction. “They're punishing me for sticking to the principles of the band" is so rich.

Also, he still gets 100% of his royalties, far from nothing

Jello Biafra is a POS. He embezzled tens of thousands of dollars from his Dead Kennedys bandmates (who also suck)
