No problem, thanks for the help. Also I got news is that I don't have to trust anyone with my laptop, I can keep it by my side after all. Still it's a security mesure, that I didn't solve in time. fun fact: LUKS on /home only breaks KDE. I really don't want to give up kde tho, I put on sway, realised that I needed to memorise console commands to change my fking volumes, so no thank you. I got spoiled by sweet UIs. it's so comfortable that everything is at one place.

cat ~/.config/startkderc
returns systemdBoot=true
. I'm guessing you made a typo and this is correct. In this case I guess it just doesn't work on KDE, my next idea is LUKS on /home and hibernating instead of sleeping. Or I always wanted to try a tiling window manager... hm
Sadly, they patched the spoon exploit.
In that case: maybe I'll try it on the weekends, I heard it takes a while to run. Thanks for the toy :p
mine's m.2 too. I tried systemd-homed, as of now it doesn't work as it should. Next I'll try disk/partition one but it'd be great to encrypt when sleeping, it's fine if it's hibernation
What I'm getting from this is badblocks isn't a magical tool that makes all storage devices faster and better anymore. correct? The fact that modern storage devices do that is a bit scary. I'm guessing it's firmware, no way to turn it off. And why would you, it helps you, just takes control away from you.
I wasn't really trying to wipe my storage device, but to make it faster. However you said a bunch of interesting stuff, and I thank you for that.
Okay I just had a bit of freetime to test it: doesn't work.. if I log out or sleep, my home dir is still mounted. Meaning it's as good as nothing. Looked at the plasma fix, didn't work. I have a pretty good lead, that I need the topmost template from some wiki:
[Unit]
PartOf=graphical-session.target
Problem is, where in the world should I write this? I really don't expect you to know, but maybe I'm talking to a genius. The internet didn't help, or I used it wrong.
didn't run a timer, it was still fast enough, but for turning it off and on every 5 minutes (or more realisticly hour).. I'd like the fastest possible. I'll have fun with this badblocks, sounds OP af. However I don't think it's a good sign if this returns anything right? I could make it so the filesystem avoids that block, that is good and all, but doesn't that means my SSD started "turning bad". So either way I should get a new one? If one cell fails other will soon follow, and my data is lost, no?
Hehe, Thank you. But by the time I'm reading this I've already done it. Got stuck on a couple or roadblocks, but figured it out. I got scared when I didn't "enable" the service just "start" it. I'm not safe(-ish enough). :D
edit: well not the plasma fix. wiki said if it's a problem I need to start something, and that something should be on by default. So I didn't do anything, maybe that's a problem
I'm not planning on putting information on my laptop that I don't have to. Speed for a bit of security sounds good. I'll look into ecryptfs
. And also into boot time, lots of you are screaming at me that it's a fast laptop. what how
I bought it used, so I'm interested in your last point. I've reinstalled it - first thing I did. Do SSDs slow down overtime? And there is a linux command to fix that? Sound crazy, can you elaborate?
Lol, my last line was a joke. A shot in the dark hoping you might get it. In the game Hollow Knight, there is a character called Hornet. She's getting a whole game, called Silksong. Anyways, the game only has sounds as voiceacting and Hornet says "Shaw" a lot. (You can try searching "Hornet Shaw" on Youtube if you're curious, but I warn you of the brainrot, the community is insane)
I already started with book#2. Was just planning on reading it a bit when I noticed your reply. It's written way to well for me to just drop it. I'll (try to) drop by when I'm done.
