Plasma Vault Experiences

Hi all, I'm wondering how Plasma Vaults work for you.

I have a system using an AMD 7840U in performance mode on Debian Trixie (Plasma 6.3.6).

The underlying filesystem is ext4 on an encrypted LVM2 volume (SN850X WD NVMe)

Using a vault with CryFS, a vault with ~200 files takes over a minute to populate in Dolphin. After it is populated, writing to files in it seems mostly reasonable.

I'm just wondering if this is expected, or if there's something wrong on my machine. Is a different algorithm better to use for a vault?

[USA] How can sales tax brackets affect purchasing behavior when prices are pre-tax?

I was looking at a grocery receipt, and there are three different tax rates depending on the items. The receipt doesn't even specify which items are taxed at which rate - just the total at each percentage.

I understand the goal of lower or higher taxes on groceries is to incentivize purchasing healthier options over more processed foods, but does it really affect purchasing decisions when the final price of the items is opaque to the consumer?

Silverblue vs uBlue

I’m considering trying out an immutable distro after using Tumbleweed for the last 6 years.

The two major options for me seem to be Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora-dx

My understanding is that universal-blue is a downstream of Fedora Atomic

So, the points in favor of Kinoite is sticking closer to upstream, however it seems like I would need to layer quite a few packages. My understanding is that this is discouraged in an rpm-ostree setup, particularly due to update time and possible mismatches with RPMFusion

uBlue Aurora-dx seems to include a lot of the additional support I’d need - ROCm, distrobox, virt-manager, libratbag, media codecs, etc. however I’m unclear how mature the project is and whether it will be updated in a timely manner long term

I’m curious what the community thinks between the two as a viable option
