I’ve never exactly been in the market for a bmw anyhow, but this is a great way to guarantee I will never want one.

Yeah, I always set up my laptops to not sleep upon closing the screen, and I use hibernate instead of sleep when I need to leave and come back later. Makes moving an active system much better since I can close it without disrupting things, and hibernate uses zero battery, so it lasts indefinitely while inactive. Plus, none of that “modern standby” BS trying to connect to wifi or start the system back up while packed in a bag. That might be more an issue with my Windows work machines though.

It’s the royal “we”

I recently finished setting this up on my system after having a plan to do it for years beforehand and never following through. It turned out to be quite a bit easier than I thought; LUKS has built-in support for keyfiles, so all you have to do is add the keyfile as a valid key for your disk, then modify the mount options to use the keyfile by default. There’s a dedicated option to fail over to password-based authentication as well.
