With this event’s non-occurence, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.
SATA= Slow (Max 6 Gbps) PCIe = Fast (Max > 100 Gbps in theory)
This is the maximum rate from the drive to the motherboard. Many drives are fast enough that SATA works become the bottleneck. With PCIe, the drive can run at its full speed, whatever that may be.

I’ve got no idea why they deleted their posts. 🤷 But I’m glad they were able to identify the story, that was bugging me for a while.
Andor belongs on this list.
Florida Man strikes again.
AOC for President.
LOOK WHAT THOSE GITS NEED TO MIMIC A FRACTION OF OUR POWER.
Apparently, 78 or 81 is a perfect age to run for President.
Sure, but there’s still no excuse for “store the password in plaintext lol”. Once you’ve got user access, files at rest are trivial to obtain.
You’re proposing what amounts to a phishing attack, which is more effort, more time, and more risk. Anything that forces the attacker to do more work and have more chances to get noticed is a step in the right direction. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
No, defense in depth is still important.
It’s true that full-disk encryption is useless against remote execution attacks, because the attacker is already inside that boundary. (i.e., As you say, the OS will helpfully decrypt the file for the attacker.)
However, it’s still useful to have finer-grained encryption of specific files. (Preferably in addition to full-disk encryption, which remains useful against other attack vectors.) i.e., Prompt the user for a password when the program starts, decrypt the data, and hold it in RAM that’s only accessible to that running process. This is more secure because the attacker must compromise additional barriers. Physical access is harder than remote execution with root, which is harder than remote execution in general.
I’m tired of having to choose between “Uvalde shooter” and “Uvalde cops” in every election. Fucking do something or get out of the way.

According to DS9, the Bell Riots are supposed to happen in September 2024.
