Developer by profession, IT geek by choice. Full disk encryption enthusiast. The "you should have made backups" guy on Superuser. BIOS < UEFI. Python is a great language with weird culture; still better than JS though. I'm spending way more time here than I should.

My stash of generic Super User answers that may come in handy at some point:
