Yeah, seems like its a move to follow apple after custom ROMS offering it as a security feature (Im on GrapheneOS and had it set for a while)

Thanks for the clarification, I forgot that (somehow)
After a reboot all the data is encrypted and needs a pin/
fingerprintto unlock. So if it’s stolen (or feds get it) a planned reboot resets it to a highly secure state that is much more difficult to hack into than when it’s just locked from timeout. Edit: removed fingerprint, corrected below.
Ouch, yeah that’s frustrating. I’m considering doing my own image (prei stall my own apps) which will help with issues like this and allow consistent apps across machines.
Feels like a sledgehammer for a nail though
I had this with a sunshine service being added as a user service in bazzite. I created a clean new user and it booted, confirming it was user based. Took a bunch of binary searching to work out what the issue was.
I’ve since done my own autostart setup for sunshine and it’s been fine ever since.
Crappy UX!

3·9 months agoI’ve probably quadrupled my Gametime from the deck. Used to be hard around job and kids, but now I am gaming during work commutes/hotels during work trips, and little 10-15 min pauses during the day I would have wasted on the phone instead.

4·9 months agoI run ollama and auto1111 on my desktop when it’s powers on. Using open-webui in my homelab always on, and also connected to openrouter. This way I can always use openwebui with openrouter models and it’s pretty cheap per query and a little more private that using a big tech chatbot. And if I want local, I turn on the desktop and have local lamma and stab diff.
I also get bugger all benefit out of it., it’s a cute toy.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] What accessories do you use with your steam deck?English
7·10 months agoJsaux mod case for travel/backpack, 25000mwh battery pack, USB hub for connecting to tv and Bluetooth dongle for Xbox controller. Considering 3d printing something for the rear buttons as I find them a little shallow/hard to press. And spring for a microSD for emulator games expansion.
It really, really doesn’t need very much in the way of accessories, if you find this and are planning to get one, I’d recommend getting it first and figure out then what you want after using it a bit.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How often do you run backups on your system?English
2·10 months agoDaily backups. Currently using restic on my NixOS servers. To avoid data corruption, I make a zfs snapshot at 2am, and after that restic does a backup of my mutable data dirs both to my local Nas and CloudFlare r3. The Nas backup folder is synced to backblaze nightly as well for a more cold store.
I have literally been on this exact journey. Mind you I’m on NixOS across two boxes so not quite a raspi… Perhaps my downsizing is not yet complete
I’ve been using logseq with syncthing for sync, across laptop/desktop/Android. Works ok, app can be a little chunky though and sometimes the manualness of coding queries can. E annoying. I have used joplin, trillium, Zim and a few others in the past. Installed silver bullet as a try too but haven’t gotten far into playing with it

Good thing they are somewhat repairable!

And from my reading, helps secure against a situation where an police officer (AKA attacker in the US apparently…) coerces you to unlock the phone (or perhaps even just takes it off you in a locked, but active state), and stores it in a faraday bag with a charger. They do that to keep it ‘alive’ so their experts can break in - a dead-mans reboot can help circumvent even that (as it will just reboot and restore itself to an encrypted rest state, which is much harder to attack)
