<p>This is not the same thing is it? Arch Wiki mentions something about having to install a separate ssh server into initramfs to support ssh’ing into fully encrypted systems.<p>systemd-cryptenroll seems to be about storing encryption keys into the TPM so that they can be decrypted automatically at boot (?)<p>Apologies if I misunderstood something.</p>

<p>This is such a hilarious failure mode. I would never have imagined something like this to a problem.<p>In the case of SSH though, I assume retrying after a second or so would be enough. You probably have some sort of retry mechanism to deal with network failures anyway.</p>

<p>It’s for (often implicit) communities to decide; communities whose members share a certain set of norms.<p>Further, legality does not imply correctness.<p>For example, it’s probably legal to call somebody a transphobic slur in many parts of the world but to suggest that trans people shouldn’t attempt to avoid or “cancel” such people is ridiculous.<p>And if you sincerely think that the only acceptable action to take is make a petition to change the law, I would suggest you go out and touch some grass. The law doesn’t work that way.</p>

<p>1) This argument works only if the justice system is effective, which is not the case everywhere in the world<p>2) A lot of sexual misconduct happens behind closed doors and is (I would imagine. IANAL) difficult to prosecute. I’m not saying that one should believe everything at face value but if multiple people make such allegations it’s more likely than not that such allegations have weight.<p>3) Not all sexual misconduct is “illegal”. But it doesn’t mean that communities should not attempt to censor people who engage in problematic behavior.</p>
