I use full disk encryption for every server (and other computers).
Encrypting your data drives is a must for everyone imho. Encrypting the OS is a must for me🤷♂️
My PC weighs 80+ lbs, live 8km from town, surrounded by farm land and there are only 3,400 in town and I live 30 min from a city of 40,000 and 40 min from another city of 70,000 and my internet is 20/10 mbps
What's your point?
I think he is saying that his physical attack surface is very small since he is remote, so maybe he doesn't bother?
Either way, encrypting drives is simply always good if you ever resell the computer or upgrade drives.
FreeAin't no one stealing my shit, even via internet to upload 40tb would take 1 year 5 days at max speed in actuality it would be 1 year 8 months.... Fuck I miss my 1.5G fibre connection....
