Base 64 encode all your array variables then decode them when needed

Felt a bit like a faff to me, so I never bothered. Does depend upon your threat model though

TIL. Thanks

Passwordless login only. No root login. Fail2ban. Add ufw to stop accidental open port shenanigans, and you are locked down enough

There are usb gpio devices which can fulfill the connectivity bit. Pretty sure you are sol with the 5w though 😊

Fair enough, it lowers the risk. Are you doing key stretching? Ie. X rounds of pbkdf or whatever it’s called?

I feel like saving the password in the export is a bad idea if security is your thing

Why though?

Slackware was the shit in the 90’s. I bounced around slack, Debian, and a bunch of other floppy based distros. My first install was onto my Amiga, before I got a new pc. Good times

Nowt wrong with a gateway distro if it gets you out of windows land

Dr. Bob also thinks so

Have you tried doing it without counting?

Do you increment in 1’s? Does it work if you count in 2’s or 3’s?

Science it!

It’s a bell curve. Eventually you switch back to ez mode for your main machine and have alternative or niche distros on spare kit

Well, you saved me a search, and op saved me from buying a Pixel 9.

I may or may not do this occasionally with byobu and my own services. Byobu is easier to use.

We are deep in the technical weeds here. 95% of Linux usage really doesn’t require such humour unfortunately.

Of course they do!

Be the change you want to see, etc…

This is the answer! Next question is why doesn’t the flatpack install do this for you?
