gollark: I like how the Alpine Linux https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_laptop page seems to be 75% ridiculously paranoid deniable encryption setup (dubiously useful, as nobody actually has disks full of random noise for no reason), with some short paragraphs on laptop things like actually having battery life.
gollark: Good news: memeCLOUD™ contains almost 4000 memetic hazards.
