Soooo what you're saying is that that hi-lo driver no longer has a job, right?

Speaking as someone who doesn't encrypt their desktop but is thinking about it:

you can't share (readable) data over one's home network if the sending PC is disk-encrypted?

For example, are you saying that if I send a video file from my PC, which is disk-encrypted, over LAN to my NAS, then the NAS would not be able to read said file?

Or just a pipe.

That is a good reason to backup

This is true.

but has nothing to do with encryption.

I disagree with this. If you forget the password for decrypting your drive, then you will have lost "anything on the drive that's important". I know because it happened to me long ago, and so now I too have been wary of disk encryption ever since then.

but my Googlefuu isn’t good enough.

To be fair, with how shit Google has become, it's likely none of our Googlefuu would be enough.

Hey good luck and all. And I'm happy for you. Just be thankful you can. Most of us can't.

That actually depends entirely on where you're at. That would be positively tropical to someone in Minnesota, but to someone in Arizona I almost can guarantee you that would be freezing.

Or moss!

Moss is cool too!

Good idea, though sadly I cannot afford that at the moment.

Nah, I like the original way more.

"I'm not planning on fighting a pelican" comes off as "well, I'm not planning on it, but it could happen",

while "I'm not planning on fighting a pelican" comes off as almost a political statement: "Statement: I do not have plans to fight a pelican." like a politician at a press release.

I feel the latter would confuse people more. Lol.
