This makes a world of difference. I know many people may know of it but may not actually do it. It Protects your files in case your computer is ever stolen and prevents alphabet agencies from just brute forcing into your Laptop or whatever.

I found that Limine (bootloader) has the fastest decryption when paired with LUKS at least for my laptop.

If your computer isn't encrypted I could make a live USB of a distro, plug it into your computer, boot, and view your files on your hard drive. Completely bypassing your Login manager. If your computer is encrypted I could not. Use a strong password and different from your login

Benefits of Using LUKS with GRUB Enhanced Security

• Data Protection: LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) encrypts disk partitions, ensuring that data remains secure even if the physical device is stolen.
• Full Disk Encryption: It can encrypt the entire disk, including sensitive files and swap space, preventing unauthorized access to confidential information.

Compatibility with GRUB

• Unlocking from Bootloader: GRUB can unlock LUKS-encrypted partitions using the cryptomount command, allowing the system to boot securely without exposing sensitive data.
• Support for LVM: When combined with Logical Volume Management (LVM), LUKS allows for flexible partition management while maintaining encryption.

A martingale is a class of betting strategies that originated from and were popular in 18th-century France. The simplest of these strategies was designed for a game in which the gambler wins the stake if a coin comes up heads and loses if it comes up tails. The strategy had the gambler double the bet after every loss, so that the first win would recover all previous losses plus win a profit equal to the original stake. Thus the strategy bears similarities to the St. Petersburg paradox.

> ‼️ Update: The only remaining Global Sumud Flotilla participant still in Israeli custody is Reyes Rigo Serviá. We do expect to hear today that she's been deported and has arrived back to Mallorca, Spain safely. I can tell you, the only thing that seemed to be delaying her deportation was getting the €2,600 fine paid. According to other participants, Reyes was acting in self defense when the incident occurred. She plead guilty in order to expedite her deportation and was persuaded to sign some unknown zionist documents.

As for the Freedom Flotilla, 89 participants have been deported. We're expecting new numbers this morning and will update you as soon as possible.

There were no survivors in the blast that obliterated part of an explosives factory in rural Tennessee, authorities said on Saturday.

The families of 18 people had been waiting anxiously on Saturday as their loved ones had been feared dead since explosions ripped through the plant near McEwen in western Tennessee early on Friday. The initial toll had been believed to be 19 people but that figure was later revised.

AES develops, manufactures and stores explosives for “military, aerospace and commercial demolition markets”, according to the company’s website. The headquarters includes eight production buildings and a quality lab.

> ❗️400 aid trucks on their way to enter Gaza

Following the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, 400 aid trucks began moving from Egypt toward Gaza through the Kerem Shalom and Auja crossings on Sunday morning — the first such large-scale entry since March. In the first hour, 90 trucks passed from the Egyptian side, carrying humanitarian supplies to be distributed across the Strip.

Coordination is also underway to open the Rafah crossing on Tuesday to allow the evacuation of wounded Palestinians, as well as Palestinians, foreigners, and dual nationals stranded in Egypt.

Under the humanitarian mechanism agreed upon in January 2025, 600 aid trucks are expected to enter daily. UN agencies and international organizations have already prepared to scale up relief operations, with Israel approving the entry of 170,000 tons of aid for the first 60 days of the ceasefire.
