I would know this as tmux, is there a difference?

I would look at BIOS secyre boot/boot mode options. And depending on the age of the PC whether it supports UEFI but or you need a legacy boot.

Why is Firefox not secure storage?

Chrome has no master password option?! 🤮

Unless you really really need portability between devices, paying for an online password manager is idiotic in my view, you’re generally just waiting for someone to hack it (which happens all the time).

I use firefox’s local, inbuilt manager and that’s everything I need.

Yes. May need to turn off secure boot too.

Are they installed on separate drives? Depending on the exact setup, Linux and windows both generally support legacy as a boot method, so you may be able to just BIOS to select a boot drive.

My comrades on Lemmy, though sometimes insular, are some of the friendliest, most supportive people I’ve ever known online.

Honestly, IRC was a very functional, easy, free, low-resource and privacy friendly chat protocol and I don’t really see why it got left behind. If you wanted image/ file support that could really be implemented client and/or server side.

You can’t trust any of it to be totally secure, it’s effectively impossible. But, this is true of all software, at least open source is being audited and scrutinised all the time (as demonstrated).

All you can do is follow best practices.
