If I've done nothing wrong there is no reason to search me.

I'd like to talk about LVM encryption and replacing TrueCrypt.

>>I'd like to talk about LVM encryption and replacing TrueCrypt.
fun fact: Debian doesn't seem to work if you use manual partitioning to try and use full-disk encryption *without* LVM. Something gets set up wrong and it won't unlock the disks properly at boot.
>>51673120
yeah that sucks, Debian also doesn't allow you to FDE one partition, it needs the entire drive to do it
>>51673195
I just let it do its LVM thing on the boot drive and then once it boots I encrypt the rest of my drives how I want. Debian's a pain sometimes but at least once it's set up it never breaks. more than I can say for some distros.

Who has a computer/laptop with these nowadays?

You can't run around searching people without a warrant or probable cause
>>51673784
the government doesn't care that you think that and neither do people that care about safety, protip.
>>51673647
nice dead link faggot
What's the best cipher setup to use with dm-crypt FDE? I'm thinking Camellia 256-bit with Whirlpool.

>probable cause
key term there, you fucking retard
in the US this is how it goes

nice meme

Sorry, it is the period at the end of the link. I'm on mobile and thus my keyboard probably added it automatically.
So, bringing up the encrypted LVM topic, if everything on my home fileserver is encrypted, and I shut it down before they kick the door in, they can't access my data, right? And it has to be a clean shutdown, not just cut the power, right?

Conversation usually ends there.

Go ask all those former government employees what happens when government security is breached and all your info is leaked to Chink hackers.

In NYC the police frisk anyone they deem "suspicious."
This practice was ruled unconstitutional, but another judge claimed the previous judge was "bias" and overturned the ruling.
Also cops frequently bring drug dogs out to sniff around cars, and the dogs mysteriously signal even when there's no drugs in the vehicle.
