With an encrypted disk, you only need to enter the encryption password when you shutdown or restart. Suspending and sleep lock screen don’t need your encryption password.
That’s true for hibernation, but not suspending. Hibernation stores everything in RAM onto the disk then shuts off the PC; to resume the system, you need to unlock the disk to access that data. Suspending doesn’t turn off the computer, it keeps the CPU and RAM active.
On my Fedora system, I can hit the suspend button and get back into the OS without needing to type my encryption password, only my user password.
I can sleep “sleep”. All system components are still powered on at this stage, so it uses the most power. But at the same time it’s the quickest to get back into your system. All that’s really happening with sleep is that the screen turns off.
Then you have suspend. Laptops often first go to sleep but then suspend after a long period of inactivity to save battery.
Then you have hibernation. I don’t think this is used that often nowadays.
I don’t claim expertise, but after living in four different coastal areas of three different bodies of water, I’ve not heard one. It’s always just “6 hours to high tide” or something like that, they want to know time to high/low point so people can plan accordingly.
I used to rely heavily on duckdns and it was great for a time, but moved off them a couple of years ago because resolution became inconsistent. I’ve since rolled my own ddns using a script that utilizes Porkbun.com’s DNS record API.
Encrypting and decrypting are complex operations that requires a lot from the hardware. The resources needed to encrypt and decrypt is proportionally correlated with the amount of files you’re encrypting and decrypting.
That said, there are some alternatives
Encrypt the whole filesystem
Encrypt only your home folder
Encrypt only the files you wanna
There is an app, Vaults, that allows you to create vaults to easily encrypt and decrypt folders. Take a look on this app
In my state you can shoot, butcher, and then dispose of all of the waste (bones, skin, etc) from a deer directly into the trash. My first thought would have been, assuming you feel bones inside, that it’s from hunting.
stand of the tide’, which is when tide levels ‘stand’ at a maximum or minimum
Isn’t that when it’s just standing at high or low tide?
Some googling leads me to find it’s either “ebb tide” or “flood tide” depending on whether it’s halfway falling or halfway rising, respectively. I’m not sure if this is exactly half way though, some diagrams make it appear that any time in between in either one of these, not necessarily half way exactly.
I think you’re right about slack and stand, and ebb and flood would work but it’s usually just a glimpse when I drive over a bridge that makes me think about it, so I don’t know which way it’s going.
