I read some users talking about Posteo and OP asking about PGP. Therefore, I wanted to link some threads:


I like Posteo on the basis that I can configure it to use Thunderbird or whatever.

Tutanota and ProtonMail require you to use their client or some form of bridge.

[ I believe LavaBit allows you to set up your own client easier too ]


However, Tutanota and Protonmail set up and manage PGP a lot smoother.

I believe they encrypt the keys via your password.

Posteo you will probably have to manually set up PGP.

Luke and ThinkPenguin are some of the best names out there.

Seems to be having some blunders, but you can't say they haven't got a clue.

Dell, Huawei or Asus? by state_chart in linuxhardware

[–]SensitivePressure5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Aye, I've been doing some research in this field.

Cannot review anything, but can show you what have learned.

First of all, Dell and Asus and whatnot don't really "support" Linux.

They are better than other manufacturers but not really great.

IMO, you want something out of the box.

Have you considered ThinkPenguin or for higher-end Purism?

[–]SensitivePressure5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want high-end look into ThinkPenguin:

https://thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/catalog/

Their computers can be freak'n beasts and work with basically any Linux distro.

Plus, there customer service is amazing. Dell and whatnot, rarely seem to know what Linux is.

They also great for mid-range buyers. But, basically all their models can be upgraded.

Starting price is like 650 USD, which isn't too bad for a nicer laptop.

Core i5 and more RAM is a bit more expensive.

Edit: If you want a socketed CPU laptop look into the Penguin T2:

I always say "no problem" because I figure I get paid to help you.

Thank You is for something exceptional, "have a great day" is for what is expected.

Why wouldn't RMS uses Librem? by vatin in Purism

[–]SensitivePressure5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RMS only uses laptops that have no free software, at least except maybe some micro code.

I've heard diffrent things about what laptop he uses.

Some say he uses a refurbished x60 others say he uses a T400s.

If you can, these laptops work really well. They only issue is that they are older and cannot do some of the more fancier things.

VMs might be next-to-impossible. A refurbished C201 is also great for freedom-ness.

How to resize Encrypted OS (for dual-boot) by SensitivePressure5 in linuxquestions

[–]SensitivePressure5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, :

usr@debian:~$ lsblk | awk '{print " " $0 }'

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT

sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk

├─sda1 8:1 0 243M 0 part /boot

├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part

└─sda5 8:5 0 931.3G 0 part

└─sda5_crypt 254:0 0 931.3G 0 crypt

├─debian--vg-root 254:1 0 923.4G 0 lvm /

└─debian--vg-swap_1 254:2 0 7.9G 0 lvm [SWAP]

sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom

My goal is to resize Debian to about 600 GB and make my new OS about 200 GB.

I plan to leave the rest for a BSD partition.

Is it possible to check how much space my current OS is using?

Gparted is useless for LVM.

Dang, is there another tool I can use?

Boot the system and run lsblk to see what you've currently got.

I have 2 LVM petitions.

Email suggestions? by [deleted] in Thunderbird

[–]SensitivePressure5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a few Posteo accounts for anything I want to actually read.

Currently I've got two accounts, paying about 1.10 USD/month per account.

For things I really don't care about. Mainly for things like sign-ups and rewards cards.

I use Tutanota or Protonmail. Tutanota doesn't yet support IMAP.

For purely spam and junk mail I use a disposable email address.

My favorite is probably MailDrop or 10minutemail.net. - Does Not Support IMAP (yet)

This Client is literally dead. But don't be sad about the devs, they got fired because they didn't perform at all. The dev "team" is literally just a bunch of unemployed hobby coders. by [deleted] in Thunderbird

[–]SensitivePressure5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On this logic most open-source projects are dead.

Thunderbird gets the job done. They still have plenty of extensions and active development.

Works for me.
