@CppGuy@infosec.space 5 MB/s is more than 80 times of what USB 2.0 can theoretically manage. That is very acceptable to me. I shouldn't admit that I don't have my home directory encrypted. So I won't. @millihertz@oldbytes.space

@steeph@queerchen.de Have I told you about my FiL's burglary? The thieves opened up his computer and removed the hard drive. That's all they took. It wasn't until years later that it dawned on my why they'd done it. He used to run the mailing list for a local sailing club. That hard drive gave the criminals a list of affluent people and days when they were likely to be away from home. Of course, he ran consumer-grade #Windows and #MicrosoftWorks, so nothing was encrypted. I hate to think how much misery and loss that caused. You can be a target without even realising it. I still don't think FiL knows to this day why he was burgled. And he still doesn't use #encryption. 😟 @millihertz@oldbytes.space
