    In a world where space is usually the cheapest and most available hardware on a PC, I tend to agree. That being said, it’s the kind of solution that comes from engineers who put the onus on the hardware to make up for their shitty software. Engineers like me.

      That said, I also painted myself into a corner when it comes to harddrive space. LUKS can be complicated, man …
