The most likely snoopers are far far away, probably even a different timezone. If you have local burglars around they'll just break your windows and doors to get things anyway. (And Bluetooth isn't that bad either?)

Build this into a LineageOS release and it would make targetted software replacement quite a bit harder. Thought it would be thankless work that mightn't be worth bothering with.

True, that could be a good reason. Forgot to mention and can't edit in the previous comment, there's a PoC ed25519 implementation I need to look at merging.

PAM support is fairly rudimentary and only supports username/password. ed25519 isn't supported - a few people have wanted it I might add it at some point. I haven't seen a real reason to go with that over ecdsa.

For Ubuntu or Debian the dropbear-initramfs package should handle most of it, it looks like https://hamy.io/post/0005/remote-unlocking-of-luks-encrypted... is an alright run through. Another approach is to use som

Huh, what kind of dodgy IRC servers have you been on ;) ? I've never encountered that in years of IRCing from hosts running Dropbear, though I could see it happening.

Did you miss the part about "light on two sides of every room"? These evolved designs seem optimised for nothing that actually matters to human comfort.

Apologies for looking a gift horse in the mouth, but it's a bit terrible that most of the URLs in the book are bit.ly links. I guess you can play link roulette...

Ah, it's by Nicholas Jitkoff, of mac Quicksilver fame. More elegant design. Edit: Oh, a bit more googling and he was lead designer for Material Design.

For a mature program (not a library) I like using a combination year.counter. No semantic meaning at all apart from monotonous improvement, and you can tell how old a version is. 2017.75, 2018.76, 2018.77, 2019.78 etc

John Siracusa has a good description of OSX's equivalent. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2007/10/mac-os-x-10-5/7/ I assume it hasn't changed too much in the past decade?

Chromecast audio for youtube doesn't work even if you pay for google music (includes youtube red). My theory is that it's too hard to get video/audio sync like that, so they don't allow it. Same for sending youtube audio
