Do you have an emergency power button that shuts down all your computers?
Thinking about rigging such a mechanism with a Bluetooth "shutter" button
Button 1 = sync hard drives, wipe RAM, poweroff
Button 2 controls a power plug as a backup
Yes. Mine is hooked up to a block of thermite though.
I have some cyanide under my mouse pad. That way there is no need for emergency buttons.

Because somehow they can't be powered back on physically?
Well thought out there, m8.
>>54564452
Let 'em power on my fully encrypted machine, IDGAF.
>>54564144
No, because I don't have neckbeard escape fantasies. Also because I do no illegal activity to warrant such measures to protect myself from the law.
Why is /g/ so obsessed with privacy? Nobody cares about your loli porn and anime.

Keeps them busy between meals, m8.

You should use a wrist watch as the emergency trigger. That way you can still press it while they're handcuffing you.
>>54564452
I assumed everyone on /g/ used full disk encryption for everything

Doesn't it slow down my PC?
I've had this idea for a while. You don't need to pay for this shit you 13 year old.

Modern CPUs have hardware AES acceleration. In practice the overhead is not noticeable.

What's the best way for a full disc encryption? Obv is not windows 'we force you to either save your password on your desktop or print it' disk encryption
>>54566555
For Linux: LUKS or plain dm-crypt
Most distributions support it out of the box and have good defaults.
Ubuntu simply asks you during the installation
No, I'm not a pedophile or a terrorist.
usbkill is pretty cool.
don't want to get DPR'ed like some sort of fucko
this sounds like a really dangerous trigger to have around the house considering encryption should be sufficient.
like having someone sit behind you while you drive and hold a knife at your neck with instructions to kill you if you crash your car, just to avoid the possible pain of an auto injury. there are dozens of smarter things you can do to deal with whatever you're afraid of before this.

I set up my computer with LVM on LUKS as the LVM portion was part of the guide. My backup drive is just LUKS. Is LVM necessary?
>>54566808
LVM is not necessary, no. It just allows you to have multiple partitions inside one encrypted block device.
My main SSD:
LUKS => LVM => /home, / and swap
All other drives:
Plain LUKS or plain dm-crypt, with just ext4 in them

Nice idea but might be annoying in practice.

>this sounds like a really dangerous trigger to have around the house considering encryption should be sufficient.
It just shuts down the computer and wipes the RAM so that they can't recover the encryption keys with a cold boot attack
>>54566615
Any encryption tools that are independent of the operating system, something that you can boot to prompting for the password/USB key?
>>54566870
spoken like a true fucko
Why would you need something like that, what kind of emergency requires you to quickly shut off your computers?
>>54566984
I only use GNU+Linux so I wouldn't know.
Debian and Ubuntu both can encrypt the root partition and ask your for the passphrase at boot time
>>54565395
who is this semen demon?
>>54567030
Fedora does that too.
>>54567016
when some spooks sneak up on you and try to take your chinese cartoons.

I moved my setup into a disused ironworks.
I have a bucket of molten steel hanging above my battlestation that can be tipped at a moments notice
>>54567016
You never know when the gubburment will come for your porn
>>54564144
no but I have a button that releases molten aluminum and copper all over my hard drives. I keep it sewn in my sleeve at all times.
>>54564452
Holy shit you're retarded.
>>54566837
How do you handle TRIM with LUKS? Last I heard it was disabled by default due to the security concerns.
>>54568616
I leave it disabled. My SSD happens to work well enough even when it's 100% full.
It's annoying that reviewers test everything under the sun but rarely how fast it is when 100% full
