A bit of topic; am I the only one that pronounces it "butterface"?

The only down side, IMO, is that the models are proprietary and closed.

It's only going to hallucinate until it gets new input from reality. Not nearly as precarious as generative models.

It also doesn't help in oligopolies where you are stuck with mostly bad options.

I'm not saying they would or they wouldn't, but if they would, and I'm not saying they would, they would distribute the keys to the Blu-ray players online so other people could use their rightfully purchased discs in any way they pleased on their own hardware.

There's two or three good ones in the series. Thankfully the rest aren't as bad as Far Cry which is just about the shittiest franchise I've ever had the displeasure of playing.

Read a newspaper some time. You might learn a thing about that.

I didn't realize all Russians were in the Linux kernel maintainers file. Silly me.

Advice on encrypted storage (lemmy.world)

I currently have a storage server with the following config.

Multiple raid6 volumes (mdadm) -> aggregated into a lvm volume group -> lvm volumes -> encrypted with luks1 -> (no partitioning) xfs file systems mounted and used by the os

I have the following criteria: I want to keep software raid (mdadm) with multiple raid sets, xfs, and lvm. I don't mind using 2fa, but I don't want to just store my secret keys on a dongle attached to my PC because that seems to defeat the point of encryption at rest.

My questions:

Is there a better way to encrypt my data at rest?
Is there a better layer at which to apply the encryption?

I'm mostly unhappy with luks1 over a whole lvm volume and looking for alternatives.

Thank you everyone for these great responses! I'll be looking into these ideas :)
