go-luks-suspend

> The go-luks-suspend program replaces the default suspend mechanism of systemd. It chroots to initramfs in order to perform the luksSuspend, suspend to RAM, and luksResume operations. It relies on the shutdown initcpio hook to provide access to the initramfs. https://github.com/guns/go-luks-suspend from 2013 This also doesn't accidentally leak all the stuff not within /home/you

It's pretty easy to backup and move your home or any other directory now. If anything this actually makes such more complicated. Incidentally you can already lose luks keys on suspend and reacquire them on resume now. Its called go-luks-suspend https://github.com/guns/go-luks-suspend It works as long as suspend does.

People gotta realize that Node.js is actually excellent for this sort of task. It hits quite a few sweet spots as an all-round Unix scripting language: * Familiar syntax and semantics (Bash/Zsh/Fish/Csh/Ksh/Ash/Wtfsh are all way weirder than JS - and they are _only_ scripting languages, while JS is already everywhere) * Standard library (https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v12.x/docs/api/fs.html) gives you access to POSIX APIs ("batteries included" - but not bloated) * Sane packaging, package management, and ecosystem (overreliance on third-party module is a thing exactly because NPM works with much less friction than e.g. the Python situation) * Asynchronous event model lets you safely do multiple things in parallel without worrying about low-level memory management, or which concurrency boilerplate library to use, etc. All in all, it's the p
