Sounds like someone's after storage savings.

Agreed. I was merely going for the most basic, least ambitious impact.

I pre-ordered Chipotle last July. I hope it hasn't gone bad by now waiting on Google and Apple..

This is where unions can help. Increased labor compensation trims the share of profits available for regulatory capture, lobbying and so on.

Anyone have any idea what this means for his affairs, e.g. Twitter funding?

It all depends on the threat model. If I were protecting against accidental data disclosure after decommissioning an SSD, then revoking would suffice. However if I were a journalist gathering data on some unsavory state subjects, I'd probably only ever use high-entropy keys.

I'd be very suspicious at what else this guide has for you if it advises to use "key" passphrase for a LUKS key.

With that said, most SSDs do encrypt data before it reaches the NAND. I don't know what "factory access mode" is and whether that can get around it.

We're all comrades here. They are positioned better than many to do this given their mission, reputation and so on.

while I'm involved

I guess that's the best one can hope for in top-down corporations. I wish they'd make it a workers' co-op for their and the community's long term sake but who am I kidding.. 🥲

Hm, so send doesn't "create the same state, bits and snapshots" on the other side. Instead it "adds net new snapshots" on the other side. 🤔

Perhaps I could use send instead of Syncthing after all. But then again I'm typically syncing net new data so the optimization would be minimal.

Attach 2 external disks via USB 3. Add them to a ZFS mirror. Use the mirror for storage. Buy a third one for backups.

Performance is great and reliability should be pretty good assuming your disk enclosures aren't junk. I'm using WD Elements and WD MyBook. I've had some problems with one WD Elements where its SATA to USB controller was overheating causing it to disconnect under extreme prolonged load. I solved that by slapping a small heatsink on it and drilling a hole in the case immediately above it for ventilation. I haven't had failures on this pool since then. The other pool I run hasn't had failures since inception circa 2019. Not a single squeak. It even uses a USB hub to split one port between 2 disks. 🥹

I'm also using a couple of these and they've been supremely reliable. They're identical to this.
