Wait, where's Saddam?

I'm actually not funny

I've used (and do use) a lot of different things. One of my bikes has a front basket which is very helpful. I have a pair of large panniers that clip on a rack on each side and a smaller one that folds over the top of the rack. I have a long-tail cargo bike which is amazing, it's got almost as much space as a USA shopping cart. I have used a trailer, mostly for pulling kids but they work well for cargo and usually clip on and off quickly and some fold up flat for storage. The long-tail cargo bike is the least appealing if you don't have somewhere at street level to store it, but I think it's the best option if you do.

You said you're on Arch, you'll want to go through their docs which are solid: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system

How old are we talking? If the CPU is >10 years old and/or some kind of ARM, it may not have hardware encryption acceleration, which means it'll happen in software. I did that once, it was horrible. lscpu |grep -i aes should probably tell you what you need to know.

Goddam that's a bar. Lmao

"find somewhere to stuff it" instructions unclear....

Posts like this are why I feel bad for places that aren't Chicago

That's probably the plan, though I see an Intel a380 low-profile for all of $100 that might be useful for some encode/decode tasks

Worth checking, though the 3U isn't super-spacious inside

I really liked having a login screen, so I switched to Mandrake from Windows 95

I've clicked in to see a movie trailer, which is basically an ad, and had to watch an ad before I could watch the ad
