Simple safe encryption for a server?
Hi, I’m running a ubuntu based backup server. And was wondering if there’s a simple way to encrypt my drives in case they get swiped or something by a break in. But also in a way that the computer can be restarted and decrypt the drive without me needing to stick a key in everytime. Any ideas? It seems basic but I’m not an...

Is it a good idea to get a high wattage phone charging brick and standard USB C cord to use for a laptop charger?
My laptop charges with USB C, so when the standard charger broke, I just used the USB out port from an EcoFlow battery. The display on the battery said the laptop pulled 25-30 watts while charging. So, why can’t I use just any USB brick that can output more than 30 watts?...

Why Prometheus + Grafana over other monitoring options?

People from Minnesota what are your opinions on Tim Walz?
Have you noticed an increase in political fighting?
I travel a lot, and talk to a lot of different people. I’ve noticed that while people certainly do have differing opinions, it’s not as extreme as what I see online. I’m starting to feel like all this hate and division is manufactured. Has anyone else noticed, that when you actually talk to real people things are far less...
Issues with dual booting windows and linux mint.
Hi everyone, I am wanting to gradually make the switch from windows to Linux on my daily use desktop. I figured the best way would be to dual boot them.
