    I'm glad you asked, its always good to learn new things! The idea behind having a drive that automatically decrypts on boot is so you have data protection at rest when the server is off but still are able to have the server start up and run the tasks it needs to do without having to input a password before the machine starts up. Encryption keys are stored in the TPM which is usually stored on the CPU and the data should still be protected by the login prompt unless there is some type of bug that bypasses the login prompt.

    So imagine a scenario where the power goes out, even just for a small amount of time. The uninterruptible power supply connected to the server allows for clean unmounting of the filesystems and then shuts the server off. The server then comes back on when power is detected from the grid again. If an encrypted drive doesn't have automatic decryption and requires a passphrase before boot, the services that I'm self hosting aren't running. I'm wanting to run home assistant and a security camera NVR so that could mean that I'm stumbling around in the dark tripping over things to get to the server to type in a passphrase, or there could be a robbery and I now have no evidence of who the culprit might be.

    Having the drives automatically decrypt in a safe manner helps ensure higher availability (without me spending a small fortune in additional hardware costs because you can usually throw money at a problem to fix it), and data protection in the event of a smash and grab robbery.

    The alternative to automatically decrypting drives while ensuring my services work after power failure is to not encrypt the drives at all.

    Let me know if you have anymore questions. Thank you for your post.

    It may be helpful to know that the former r/zfs community has migrated to a Discourse server at practicalzfs.com. Might be worth asking there for some expert advice.

    I tried posting there, but the mods haven't been there in a couple of days to approve my post. I tried posting on reddit but since reddit is a garbage website that noone should ever visit, I was immediately shadowbanned and noone has seen my posts.

    Thanks for your post.

    Need help installing Proxmox with automatic decryption and multiple drives

    I'm trying to install Proxmox on a server that is going to be running Home Assistant, a security camera NVR setup and other sensitive data, I need to have the drives be encrypted with automatic decryption of drives so the VMs can automatically resume after a power failure. # My desired setup: * 2 Sata SSDs boot drives in a ZFS mirror * 1 NVME SSD for L2ARC and VM storage * 3 HDDs in a RAIDz1 for backups and general large storage * 1 (maybe more added later) HDD for Camera NVR VM. I'd prefer every drive encrypted with native ZFS encryption automatically decrypted by either TPM 2.0 or manually by a passphrase if needed as a backup. # Guide I found: I found a general guide on how to do something similar but it honestly went over my head (I'm still learning) and didn't include much information about additional drives: [Proxmox with Secure Boot and Native ZFS Encryption](https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/1338bqa/proxmox_with_secure_boot_and_native_zfs_encryption/) If someone could adapt that post into a more noob friendly guide for the latest Proxmox version, with directions for decryption of multiple drives, that would be amazing and I'm sure it would make an *excellent* addition to the Proxmox wiki ;) # My 2nd preferred setup: * 2 Sata SSDs boot drives in a ZFS mirror with LUKS encryption and automatic decryption with clevis. * All other drives encrypted using ZFS native encryption with ZFS key (keys?) stored on LUKS boot drive partition. With this arrangement, every drive could be encrypted at rest and decrypted on boot with native ZFS encryption on most drives but has the downsides of using LUKS on ZFS for the boot drives. Is storing the ZFS keys in a LUKS partition insecure in some way? Would this result in undecryptable drives if something happened to ZFS keys on the boot drive or can they be also decrypted with a passphrase as a backup? As it stands right now, ***I'm really stuck*** trying to figure this out so any help or well written guides are heavily appreciated. Thanks for reading!

    There is a subreddit you might find interesting r/prepperfileshare

    Beyond that, you could always just vacuum seal multiple low power SOC computers with portable solar panels, couple of USB hard drives, Blu-ray drives with archival blu-ray discs and then just bury it in an appropriate container. Adequate depth in the dirt can make an effective faraday cage. Store an archive of wikipedia and other useful information. I probably wouldn't bury any lithium batteries with the solar because they would likely be useless without receiving a charge underground for so long.

    Work on getting prepared now so you're used to living that type of lifestyle before the bombs drop. It makes you more likely to survive unexpected circumstances while you still have civilization around to fall back upon while you're working out all of the unforeseen kinks. Ask me an questions you might have if you have questions.

    Also the other advice in this thread is good too: prepare for the most likely disasters, and focus on strengthening your local community to local disasters.

    I saw a video of something similar in Taiwan for electric mopeds where the people can just pick up a charged exchange battery at any time.

    I know I'm going to get downvoted for this, but millions of americans go to school, church, concerts, etc, and have no worries whatsoever about getting shot because the statistical probability of that happening is so low that the average American is extremely more likely to die from preventable diseases caused by poor diets or even choking on food than to die in a mass shooting. Yet despite this being the case, people tend to heavily focus conversation on mass shootings rather than poor diets because of the inherent shock value mass shootings have in the public conscious than someone they personally know that dies from heart attack, stroke, cancer, diabetes, etc.

    Why isn't there a larger focus on things that make a population sick rather than tools that allow a population to defend themselves? 🤔

    I think games should focus on optimizing their code, instead of relying on third party software.

    Unless a game takes a hit in sales, developers have no incentive to optimize their game for performance. The chip shortages are causing gamers to stick with their older GPUs so maybe that might affect things.

    If the game has a internal resolution scaler, I'll run the game at a lower internal resolution like 900p or even 720p on some games. The UI stays an appropriate size but runs better.

    Even without a resolution scaler, running a game at 900p often isn't that bad.

    Capitalism providing a better service? hmmmmmm......

    I realize I’m partially to blame, and regret it.

    Then open source the code behind twitter, remove barriers to decentralization, encourage self hosting of twitter instances by making it easy for even normies to achieve. Twitter has the funds and ability to achieve this. Put up or shut the fuck up, Jack.

    Why aren't velomobiles more popular?

    Velomobiles are basically an aerodynamic bicycle enclosed from the elements. [Wikipedia says its one of the most efficient forms of transportation.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency_in_transport#Land_transport_means) An electric petal-assist velomobile seems like a great solution so why are they so difficult and expensive to purchase? Why haven't many people heard of them?

    What does a society do with people that are homeless by choice?

    I've worked helping homeless people in the past on many occasions, had friends whos family members were homeless, had homeless friends, and had even been homeless myself for a small amount of time. There are a lot of people that are homeless through no fault of their own, there are people that are homeless because of drug abuse (which perpetuates the cycle). Both of these people need more access to the help that can be provided to them, but I mainly wanted to talk about a third category of homelessness: People that are homeless by choice. People that are homeless by choice have told me that they enjoy the lifestyle and enjoy the freedom that it brings despite the negatives. They actively rejected help from people and expressed their desires to me to intend living that lifestyle forever. While I think every person has the right to live their own life the way they see fit, homelessness often has negatives to the people that aren't homeless. Feces and needles in the streets, breaking and entering into homes, garages, sheds, vandalizing and burning them down in the process. Of course all homeless people aren't like that but the point still remains: a healthy society generally doesn't have homeless people. How do you achieve a balance to allow the people whom are homeless by choice to live in a way they see fit while also minimizing the perceived issues of homelessness? What are your thoughts on homeless people? I ask these questions in good faith and I hope you also do the same. Thank you for your thoughts and opinions.

    Is there a piracy solution as boomer friendly as Stremio?

    Now normally I would just setup radarr, sonarr and the like on a seedbox or something if I were looking for a setup for myself, but my friends and family members can't handle something like that. Stremio with torrent addons offers a user friendly netflix-like experience but its not entirely opensource and I can't self host it. Jellyfin seems to be a popular suggestion for user friendly software with a netflix-like interface but from what I can tell, there isn't automatic torrenting to match the convenience of stremio. If a family member has to open a webpage or an app to pick out content, then wait for it to download fully, then open up the jellyfin UI to watch content, that might be too complicated for some of my elderly family members to achieve. Is there an open source/self-hosting torrent/piracy solution that is comparable to stremio in regards to being boomer friendly? Thanks for your comments.

    I live in a rural area 30+ miles (50+ KM) away from anything else without access public transportation. What are my options to get basic necessities like food without using a car?

    Cargo e-bikes generally have a battery capacity limit of around 25 miles (which batteries aren't meant to be fully drained every time they're used anyway). Any suggestions that don't include the use of cars in a carpool or moving? Is "Fuck Cars" a pro-city/anti-rural philosophy?
