Luks, vericrypt, probably others idk. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago (2 children) I don't know enough about Linux to even start messing with the system. 🙂 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) No problem then! And more reason to not go about Dias’s long stuff, the logs are very helpful for finding out why what you thought should be happening, isn’t! If uou were also worried about someone seizing your drives and thus getting your logs, then disk encryption, though like with all privacy and security minded stuff there is a convenience tradeoff. Also, if you lose the pass phrase, well… everything on the disk is gone. https://linuxvox.com/blog/linux-luks-encryption/ Looks to be an ok guide to luks, if you wanted. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago I've encrypted my external hard drives but I'll have a look at the link.
