I’ll start. Go home white people! Go back to where you came from!

They’re going to get hired by Trump to run DHS aren’t they? 😆

They don’t care. One last cash grab.

Where are those two in the picture? Or are they taking the picture? 🤔

How hard is clevis to setup?

I’ve seen it referenced for encrypted servers, but I haven’t tried setting it up.

Unencrypted boot is unfortunate. What are PCR registers?

I do encrypt my drives, and it’s not as transparent in Linux as it is in the others. I’m sure I could get a TPM setup for seamless boots, but I haven’t done that yet.

For mobile drivers, I still encrypt, but that locks them to one OS since LUKS isn’t cross platform. There is VeraCrypt for cross-platform encryption, but that’s one more thing to manage and install.

Maybe Briar? It’s P2P chat app.

I never tried that. It sounds like it might have been fun with a burner.

Linux, and macOS, enables write caching by default and Windows does not. This is what you’re seeing.

Mounting the drive with “noatime,flush” (preferred) would adjust the write caching and mounting with “sync,dirsync” would turn off write caching.

Random peripherals get tested against windows a lot more than Linux, and there are quirks which get worked around.

I would suggest an external SSD for any drive over 32GB. Flash drives are kind of junk in general, and the external SSDs have better controllers and thermals.

Out of curiosity, was the drive reformatted between runs, and was a Linux native FS tried on the flash drive?

The Linux native FS doesn’t help migrate the files between Windows and Linux, but it would be interesting to see exFAT or NTFS vs XFS/ext4/F2FS.

Did the USB drive get excessively warm during this because it looks like the drive is throttling?

Incidentally, this is why I switched to using external SSDs. A group of 128GB flash drives I had would slowly fall over when I would write 100GB off files to it.
