Phrasing the question is half the battle. "Do you want to be spied on by your government?" Yes is yes, no is no, anything more comes from evil.

Try styrofoam, a couple layers of soft packaging wrap, thick cloth, etc. My other hack is WOL + auto-suspend for my NAS. Wakes up for backup jobs, goes back to sleep when done (and there are no SSH sessions left open). Very hacky but works

Which is odd. Windows was able to browse ZIPs like normal folders since... 98? XP? Can't remember now. IMHO KDE delegates too much core functionality to apps. On macOS, I can press "space" while having a file selected and I g
