    So much bad advice in here relating to NVME’s.

    Any NVME worth it’s salt these days is an OPAL adhering self encrypting capable drive for data storage.

    This means in Linux you simply install nvme-cli, then do a mode 2 crypto erase and the crypto key is dropped and all data on the drive becomes unreadable.

    Y’all could stand to get with the times a bit more and learn about what NVME’s actually bring to the table

    https://tinyapps.org/docs/nvme-secure-erase.html

    For drives with it disabled, mode 1 wipe will have the controller fill all regions with meaningless data to wipe it.






  • This isn’t something that should really be set by users of an app. It should be set by you, as you will be the one to handle user feedback and bug reports.

    That being said, bigger releases are a challenge from a debugging report standpoint because you are introducing many more changes in each release compared to a smaller number of charges in more frequent releases. This is why many devops teams in corporate land try to keep releases smaller and more frequent (see also: Agile Development)


  • OP, there are two parts to this.

    One is handles by your Desktop Environment for desktop scrolling outside of apps. Others have mentioned this.

    The other is handled directly by browsers.

    To enable this for browsers:

    Firefox: under about:config, the key general.autoScroll needs to be set to true

    Chrome:

    Chrome (and any electron based apps) needs to have the following additional flag added to launch with support for middle click scroll: --enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll

    I would also advise you to map 2 of your mouse buttons to scroll up and scroll down, that way you can just hold a key down to scroll instead of shaking your mouse around using the autoscroll arrows.
