another good place to buy a used one is https://swappa.com

it looks pretty thick (2.6cm)

wow, that’s a stupid default setting. thanks

Which phone is that? I thought that most phones could not create a hotspot and at the same time connect to a WiFi network.

that’s another way, I guess… if you want to split the file, that is

there’s always more than one way to skin a rat

it depends if your hardware supports the algos that cryptsetup/luks use I guess…

not really if you have a hardware chip that does the encrypt/decrypting

there was too many bugs in tiling WM last time i tried… which one do you use?

Install process/freedom of choice for more things (It’s more of a blank slate)

Privacy is a thing of the past with modern cars, phones, cameras everywhere/facial recognition, NSA, evidence laundering, credit cards, TPMS censors, etc… we need new laws to restore privacy.

I tried Debian a few times and never liked it… I like the Arch experience better.
