The owner of the platform blatantly and openly supporting one side is new. We used to call that election interference

I have one that takes d cell batteries and works great. Have used others that barely function, though

Major respect for being open to correction. Godspeed on your grammar journey

Each of those "your"s should've been "you're"

Fair enough. Every service I run depends on encrypted data, so starting the machine without decrypting isn't worthwhile in my case. I have to decrypt to get everything back up after power loss anyway.

Main advantages I'm aware of for full disc encryption are encrypted swap and system config. Overkill for some use cases so YMMV, but wanting to point out that decrypting at boot can be done.

I may be missing something in your use case. As long as you have the port forwarded you can decrypt from anywhere. Use pub key auth and you're good to go

You can decrypt via ssh at boot. I used dropbear to accomplish that on my machine

I used it for a bit. For a supposedly privacy focused search engine, they sure dislike when users connect through a VPN. I'm met with constant identity checks and, with certain queries, straight up access denied pages. Selling the company to an ad agency is another massive red flag. It's unfortunate since we're starved for decent, free search options these days, but skip them.
