(Recovering & Deleting Data) You should know that when you "delete" a file on your computer in your operating system, whether Linux, Windows or Mac, the file is not *really* deleted or overwritten until the space is needed for new data. This is beneficial when you accidentally delete a file, but is dangerous when you "delete" a sensitive file and falsely feel like you're safe. Linux has the command `shred` which overwrites files with random data, which solves this issue. You can also output /dev/urandom or /dev/zero to blank or distort empty space on a drive. Even in the case of encrypted drives, it's a good idea to use /dev/urandom or obscure unused or previously used space to prevent metadata leakage about how much you've stored on the drive or what used to be on it, in a way that could tie you to an important USB drive or computer. 00:00 No data's every *really* gone! 01:49 Gist 03:37 Dangers of File Recovery 04:50 Good Op-sec 05:56 `shred` to overwrite and delete files 08:09 /dev/urandom and /dev/random 09:44 Blanking or shuffling drives with randomness 11:11 /dev/zero 12:22 Encrypted drives can still leak metadata! 15:01 Retroactively wiping empty space on an encrypted drive 16:12 Benefits and Dangers My website: https://lukesmith.xyz Classical books reprinted by me: https://lindypress.net Get all my videos off YouTube: https://videos.lukesmith.xyz or Odysee: https://odysee.com/$/invite/@Luke:7 Please donate: https://donate.lukesmith.xyz BTC: bc1qd20r7phdct3t0e0z6jqs55ulectg25pngt7hyl XMR: 89yML3AtqnTNdo3wNuoaW44D94Zx1kBZNSBc9SyNxGdaKEZwZNdVzvy9zpbzJMzysiWZEU3b5LwjQ3XwWuQsknCF8JK73yv OR affiliate links to things l use: https://www.vultr.com/?ref=8384069-6G Get a VPS and host a website or server for anything else. https://www.epik.com/?affid=we2ro7sa6 Get a cheap and reliable domain name with Epik. yt:video:dI3bGeT31Bo dI3bGeT31Bo UC2eYFnH61tmytImy1mTYvhA Install Artix or Arch Linux (Encrypted system) Luke Smith https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2eYFnH61tmytImy1mTYvhA 2023-02-09T20:09:03+00:00 2024-02-23T03:19:03+00:00 Install Artix or Arch Linux (Encrypted system) Here's how you set up Artix and Arch Linux with an encrypted root/home drive. I cover not just encryption, but installation for legacy BIOS and UEFI machines, but also what differences you'll encounter on Artix's different init systems. I also talk about automatic logons and such. https://artixlinux.org/ https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Installation https://archlinux.org/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide Note that the only thing different between Arch and Artix are renamed commands (pacstrap vs. basestrap and genfstab vs. fstabgen and artix-chroot vs. arch-chroot). Artix can come with either runit, openrc, s6 or dinit as an init system and setup for all is the same except for the desired package is installed initially as is the command to enable the network interface. If you want to lazily copy, the programs I installed with basestrap were: base base-devel runit elogind-runit linux linux-firmware grub networkmanager networkmanager-runit cryptsetup lvm2 lvm2-runit neovim vim 00:00 Intro and Background 01:26 Download and Create and ISO 05:05 On the Artix and Arch Install Scripts in the Repositories 07:28 Reboot and Boot from the ISO 08:26 UEFI vs Legacy Boot 09:38 Formatting the Drive and Partitions 14:34 Making an Encrypted Partition (luksFormat) 17:37 Mount Partitions 18:24 Choosing Mirrors for Speed (Optional) 19:02 Install the Operating System and Programs 22:06 Chrooting into the New Operating System 23:03 Settings: Timezone, locale, LANG, hostname 26:13 Enable NetworkManager and internet/wifi 27:17 Passwords and users (optional autologin) 29:30 Preparing decryption on boot, mkinitcpio.conf 30:59 Grub configuration with UUIDs to decrypt 32:08 Generating an fstab file 32:28 Finishing up the GRUB configuration 36:32 Grub installation and grub-mkconfig 39:13 Finalizing 39:47 Checking our work 41:44 On graphical environments 42:30 LARBS 45:45 On xinit and starting desktop environments or window managers My website: https://lukesmith.xyz Classical books reprinted by me: https://lindypress.net Get all my videos off YouTube: https://videos.lukesmith.xyz or Odysee: https://odysee.com/$/invite/@Luke:7 Please donate: https://donate.lukesmith.xyz BTC: bc1qd20r7phdct3t0e0z6jqs55ulectg25pngt7hyl XMR: 89yML3AtqnTNdo3wNuoaW44D94Zx1kBZNSBc9SyNxGdaKEZwZNdVzvy9zpbzJMzysiWZEU3b5LwjQ3XwWuQsknCF8JK73yv OR affiliate links to things l use: https://www.vultr.com/?ref=8384069-6G Get a VPS and host a website or server for anything else. https://www.epik.com/?affid=we2ro7sa6 Get a cheap and reliable domain name with Epik. yt:video:X7TykFYaAFA X7TykFYaAFA UC2eYFnH61tmytImy1mTYvhA Ever Noticed How "Weird" Modern TV and Film are?

There's a reason that every "critically acclaimed" TV show and film gives you creeper vibes. Hollywood and media companies seek out shows and films that create ever lower moral standards and less and less semblance to reality. This not only gives audiences cheap shocks, but purposefully breeds a lack of trust in the world and other people, and a belief in ubiquitous degeneracy. 00:00 They're all psy-ops. They're all sordid. 01:37 Overestimating Sex n Drugs to not be a dork 04:29 Life imitates Art. Game of Thrones. 05:56 Psychologically jarring media.

The episodic nature of kids' cartoon shows has had inevitable effects on we look at life. They breed both false senses of permanence and of futility due merely to how episodic TV shows must be constructed. Plots never advance. Characters never really mature. It's no leap to say there is a relation between that and the fact that now generations that watched these shows have notoriously matured little and create lives around non-progress, non-accomplishment and view their lives as repeating constantly their same unsolved psychological issues and personal hold-ups, over and over again. This applies to the consumption of other media as well, like YouTube and even video games. Everything is small variations on a familiar and unadvancing theme on to eternity. Nihil novi sub sole.
