I HAVE THE KEYS TO SYSTEMS THAT PROCESS ~$15 MILLION A YEAR IN TRANSACTIONS. BY ENCRYPTING MY SHIT I DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE EVERY KEY WHEN MY SHIT IS LOST AND/OR CONFISCATED. (LIKE THE DMCA THREATS MY VPS GETS FOR RUNNING AN EXIT NODE)

That's cool. I would love to get into that side of things but all I really have is songs so I don't care that much. It seems edgy and cool though.

IT’S NOT REALLY EDGY OR COOL, BUT IT’S ACTUALLY QUITE NORMAL IN BUSINESS. BECKY’S WORK LAPTOP IS LIKELY ENCRYPTED, TOO, FOR EXAMPLE.

I’M STARTING ANOTHER PHASE OF WORK FOR THE STATE OF OREGON, SOON, AND ONE OF OUR ROLES WAS TO DEFINE THE ENCRYPTION STANDARDS FOR THE STATE’S WEB APPLICATIONS. I’M NOT REALLY THAT CONCERNED ABOUT ENCRYPTION, BUT I HAVE TO WALK THE WALK FOR THE CLIENTS THAT REQUIRE ENCRYPTION FOR LIABILITY REASONS.

@previous (ltamake !3vZ7A06glM)
Do you encrypt the entire drive, or just a partition? If the latter, do you have an unencrypted partition?

I tend to put an encrypted volume on there with truecrypt and a .bat that mounts it. That also helps against accidental reformats.
