For this you dont need TPM. Just a LUKS key in rootfs /etc. He said TPM :)

nuker··on How to Build a Minimal ZFS NAS Without Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS (2024)
> combined with LUKS, TPM keys

Does it work? Server can reboot and use TPM to unlock rootfs? What about /boot - encrypted and tamper proof? Resists evil maid attack?

Rabbit hole, I know, but so fascinating if you solved it all :)

nuker··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
It all started when they took a stand against DoD on autonomous weapons and domestic mass surveillance usage. Feb 2026.

After that details don't matter, they've shown their "enemy" colours, once is enough. This is just punishment and it will continue, until they bend the knee.

nuker··on Stop the Apple Music app from launching
> I still can't believe they killed iTunes. I used to have my entire digital music library in iTunes. Most of that was music I had ripped myself from CD ...

iTunes Match still exists, one of the handful of subs I pay for.

nuker··on CAPTCHAs can still detect AI agents
> Fingerprint.com, while not a CAPTCHA, gives you +3 suspicious score just for using privacy settings like adblock on your browser.

nuker··on Firefox Has Integrated Brave's Adblock Engine
> Why do people say crap like this...

1. Third-party cookie blocking by default — 2003 (Safari 1.0); industry first.

2. Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), using on-device machine learning to identify and limit cross-site trackers — 2017; industry first.

3. Storage Access API prompts for embedded third-party content (e.g., social login widgets) — 2018 (ITP 2.0); industry first (co-developed by WebKit, later adopted as a web standard).

4. Full third-party cookie blocking (no exceptions) — 2020 (ITP in Safari 13.1); industry first for a major browser.

Nope, FF is being infiltrated by adtech for last year or two. Last holdout is Safari now :)

nuker··on New Apple Silicon M4 and M5 HiDPI Limitation on 4K External Displays
Helps if there are support case numbers with attempted diags, maybe.
nuker··on New Apple Silicon M4 and M5 HiDPI Limitation on 4K External Displays
Ahh, true, I now have 120Hz top, but it's fine, why I said fixed :) I now recall in Catalina I had full 144Hz and VRR options! Monitor is Dell G3223Q via Caldigit TS4 DP.
nuker··on New Apple Silicon M4 and M5 HiDPI Limitation on 4K External Displays
Send it to Tim Cook email. It worked for me fixing DisplayPort DSC bug. After Catalina, later MacOSes lost ability to drive monitors at higher than 60Hz refresh.

Apple support tortured me with all kinds of diagnostics, with WontFix few weeks later. Wrote email and it got fixed in Sonoma :)

nuker··on Retiring Windows 10 and Microsoft's move towards a surveillance state
If evil maid attack, and you see this prompt, you a) re-enable secure boot, if did not work b) throw away the device.

In any case data stays secure.

Edit: Hmm, you have a point, how do I know secure boot was disabled in the first place? Anyway, still works for servers and unattended reboots.
