Re: Why don't gnu.org and RMS sign mail?

On my programming laptop, my entire disk is LUKS encrypted and has been 
since ~2005. Debian (and now Devuan (no systemd)) made it easy.

You do have to type in a password on boot, 20+ characters long 
naturally. The longer the better, the more convoluted, the more 
insane... the way to go.

RMS: How about a 50 character password to decrypt the key that decrypts 
the HDD, every day you wish to use the computer.

Day in. Day out. Day in, Night out?

It will become like brushing your teeth.
What say you?
