Aaaaah, you're going for the second million.

I understand.

Skip avocado toast.

Haven't they told you?

You should worry about all personal data/accounts.

I worry about credentials saved in Firefox, Thunderbird, Nextcloud and my Steam account.

Spot-on!

That's what I have (gaming and working unified) both at my Steam Deck running SteamOS (with profile encryption) and my laptop running Bazzite (with FDE).

My DeskMeet is off most of the time, although it has the most beefy GPU (sporting a PowerColor Radeon RX 9060 XT, which I just managed to fit in the case) - yet it also has the highest power consumption and I rarely need that power for the games I play most often. Btw. it runs Bazzite with FDE 😉

Like @Railcar8095@lemmy.world already explained, having some strong protection of data on a device like the Steam Deck, that can easily be lost/stolen seems to be warranted.

Aside from the saved login credentials of my Steam account, there are a lot more credentials saved on it, because I love to use the desktop mode as work environment.

Having someone getting access to several accounts saved in the browser or email client would be not very great to say the least.

I basically have one (based on DeskMeet X300), although it runs on Bazzite.

Dunno if SteamOS would've worked back when I set it up.

I preferred Bazzite, because it provides full disk encryption out of the box whereas there's only a kind of workaround for encrypting the user profile on SteamOS - unless you want to risk breaking all by SteamOS updates.

With current prices building 3rd party Steam Machines is about as appealing as it is for Steam releasing Steam Machines.

I would't have that "Steam Machine" if it weren't for repurposing the DeskMeet X300 that I already had and which I no longer needed for its formerly intended purpose (it was in the end a waste running the Proxmox Virtual Environment there and I moved the PVE to a Dell Wyse 5070).

Well, that's gone quite off-topic. What I wanted to say was simple:

current hardware prices are such a pain in the ass and make building Steam Machine no fun!

Clonezilla should suffice for cloning the SSD.

A docking station (like this) with included m.2 slot for the Steam Deck should do the trick to have both SSDs attached to the Steam Deck - if you plan on having a docking station for your Steam Deck anyway, that is.

Without such a docking station you need an adapter (or even two) for the SSD(s).

Easiest way would be to swap the SSDs and install SteamOS anew.

I upgraded mine with a Corsair MP600 Mini 2 TB back when that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Per GB SD cards aren't a lot cheaper, but typically are slower and have worse durability than SSDs.

I do have an SD card in my Steam Deck, but only use it for my gog.com library. It makes moving that library between my Steam Deck and my laptop easy. On that SD card are only smallish games.

I wouldn't want to run Cyberpunk 2077 from an SD card.

AMD and Intel offer quite nice GPUs.

I recently purchased a Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16 GB RAM. It does the job.

Maybe outdated for future CPU and GPU hungry games.

The same emulators that run now will continue to do so as will very likely indie titles.

In the end it depends on what you want to do with the SD.

Well, attacks can come from within with support from outside.

Thank you!

Not that I'd be aware of, sorry.

But maybe someone else can point us into the right direction.

Hi there,

I just wanted to stop by and say it was a pleasure to read your story.

Well done!

Oh, they can go in one sentence, if done right.

Nano offers fast transactions on a decentralized network while using very little energy.

Strictly speaking it's not just one blockchain, but one per account, which only the account owner can update (add blocks to it).

This asynchronous design is what makes Nano so fast, because there's no need to wait for others when updating one's own blockchain.

What it doesn't have (yet?) is a sufficiently large network effect, which it may never acquire.

But it is one example of an attempt at making digital money based on blockchain technology, which is not just a copycat, scam, rugpull or other malicious nonsense.

Monero comes to mind as well and maybe a handful others.

Sadly almost all around blockchain is not just not innovative, but outright evil.

If they weren't detained and roaming around through the country instead, they'd even spend money.

Make it make sense.
