  • that’s what trixie’s netinst defaults to when i set up new desktops using encrypted lvm… root and swap volumes inside that, unlocking together at boot. my use doesn’t hit swap much, so it’s nbd. i just leave it like it is. only where an installer doesn’t support encrypted swap partitions do i use a file or ram-based swap instead.














  • i just pick a folder or an existing playlist and hit random. but the best things for me because they help mask noises (yes, the ones in my head mainly) are musicals (such as annie) or movies with lots of background music (disney movies are good for this) or old-school multi-camera sitcoms for the laugh track (newhart, mary tyler moore, patty duke, etc)… the other common thing between them is it’s all stuff i’ve watched a lot so it’s very familiar. if it isn’t–i’m more apt to try to watch than to doze off.



  • it didn’t take long for search engines, including google, to pick up wiki.warframe.com though, as it was just a sub off an existing and long-standing domain… the hard part was getting pages on the new address to rank higher than the old one that fandom won’t delete.

    what you should do for any wiki is add the wiki’s search as a search engine in your browser. firefox makes it easy to do. just go to the wiki (i.e. wiki.warframe.com), right-click in the search box on that page, choose ‘add search engine’. add a ‘keyword’ to make searching it easy (e.g. wf), so now all you have to do to search the warframe wiki is type in firefox’s address box, example: wf void trader


  • at their peak, the auto skip didn’t even exist… just the manually-activated 30-sec skip that you had to enable yourself like a cheat code in a video game.

    replaytv got sued out of existence due to the same basic functionality. dish’s hopper still exists but i think they made a deal with the networks (we won’t sue you if you delay the feature for a number of hours).

    the networks will sue as soon as tivo makes it a specific line item on a bill for the specific feature of automatically skipping commercial breaks. and that’s on top of subscribers leaving due to the rug pull… but where tf they gonna go? alternatives kinda suck and are not as easy to set up or use.
