But even if it were, wouldn’t a dyson sphere on the sun mean no more sunlight left for the rest of us humans on earth? We’d have to build it on a neighboring star, which would then complicate bringing it back.

By default, most FDE have horrible performance hits and require significant tweaking, configuring and benchmarking to get it right depending on hardware, use cases, conditions… I’m sure there are quite a bunch of people out there who don’t want to do any tweaking while still having the performance they paid for.

/var/log and the likes aren’t really issues, I just have mine as a link to the real one in an eCryptfs folder. Though I guess you’d be right about qbittorrent, this is something pretty rare.

In the most paranoid hypothetical scenario, someone could mount your unencrypted /usr/bin and replace openssl with a compromised version.

I suppose if you’re in this situation, you have way more important things to deal with. That would imply someone has physical access to your computer, at that point if they really want to know what you’re doing they might as well setup a camera.

Is there any reason to do full disk encryption, vs encrypting a single partiton or a folder with eCryptfs? It’s not like your /usr/bin, etc… needs to be encrypted, but encrypting it reduces performance.

I have no clue what you’re trying to say.

If I ask an AI to write an email and it does so both better and faster than I could, how can you say it’s inconvenient and doesn’t save time?

But if it saves time on some simple tasks, how can you say it’s not convenient?

Are you trying to deny that AI is also convenient for regular people?
