If you’re worried enough to encrypt the drive, you shouldn’t be auto mounting it.

This really depends on your threat model. If you are only concerned about the drive getting stolen, or wanting to keep the data on it private if you need to RMA the drive, mounting it automatically on boot with a key stored on the rootfs can be perfectly fine. If you are a journalist in a hostile country and protecting your sources from state level actors is a matter of life and death, then yeah, this would be woefully insufficient.

Looking forward to this. I have a pair of XREAL Air 2 Pros that I mainly use to watch movies when I'm traveling. With those and a bluetooth keyboard, desktop mode on my Pixel 8 would be pretty neat.

It can be. Some of those keys might just taking advantage of regional pricing to buy keys in cheaper markets and resell them elsewhere, but some of them are purchased using stolen credit cards. Those actually cost the devs money from chargeback fees once the actually owner of the credit cards finds the fraudulent transactions. It's hard to say how many of them are from stolen credit cards, and key-resellers try to stop it, but it still happens. This was back in 2019, but the Factorio devs had a couple blog posts talking about G2A:

Apparently Framework did try to get AMD to use LPCAMM, but it just didn't work from a signal integrity standpoint at the kind of speeds they need to run the memory at.

What filesystem are you using on the external drive? If it is NTFS or FAT, they won't store permissions on the filesystem, which would explain why the owner/group changes are not persistent. To fix that, you can set the uid/gid on mount in your fstab.

/dev/mapper/YOUR_DRIVE /path/to/mnt <fstype> rw,uid=<jellyfin_uid>,gid=<jellyfin_gid>,dmask=0002,fmask=0113

Are you using the default bridge? I have a similar setup (with Traefik instead of NPM), and for each compose file am using separate networks for the internet, proxy, and backend services.

services:
  some_service:
    ...
    networks:
      - frontend_network
      - proxy_network
      - backend_network
  backend_service:
    ...
    networks:
      - backend_network
networks:
  frontend_network:
    driver: "bridge"
  proxy_network:
    driver: "bridge"
    internal: true
  backend_network:
    driver: "bridge"
    internal: true

Then which Apple phone are you talking about? The iPhone 15 is pretty much the same size as the Pixel 8. The iPhone SE is the only small phone Apple seems to make, and from what I can tell from a quick search, they aren't selling a lot of them.

The iPhone 15 is 147.6 height x 71.6 width x 7.8 depth (mm).
The Pixel 8 is 150.5 height x 70.8 width x 8.9 depth (mm)

I would call that pretty much the same size.

No they don't? The iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini were the worst performing phones out of their lineup. Small phones are dead because hardly anyone buys them.

Texas does have anti-SLAPP laws passed and they are among the strongest in the nation. Unfortunately, the courts have ruled that they cannot be used in federal courts.

Then Linus responded pretty poorly (and ended up stepping down as CEO and is now a chief creative something or other iirc)

Linus didn't step down in response to this. I don't remember the exact timelines, but he either stepped down before this, or was in already in the process of transitioning to the new CEO when this happened.

Micay stepped down as lead developer and foundation director. I'm not sure what role he has with the project currently, but it seems like he plans on leaving the project entirely, long term. I haven't heard of any controversy since then. They've been hard at work and actually added support for Android Auto last month.
