Remember, always print your recovery code to pdf and save it to the same drive. This way, when it happens, you're forced to only use Linux.

I had this happen to me with a hardware-encrypted bitlocker drive. I was forced to buy a new SSD, actually.

When using Opal (hardware encryption), it locks down the drive. Not even a secure erase would wipe/release the damn thing.

It would have if I actually had the PSID 🥲

It was an expensive lesson to take photos of my new drives and store the PSID and serial numbers in KeePass.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
