I can’t explain, perhaps due to my limited knowledge about the subject. I understood that compression was a weakening factor for encryption years ago when I heard about it. Always good to do your own research in the end 🙃

I also don’t like the duplication of logs in journald and syslog, so I always disable forwarding to syslog

Encryption and compression don’t play well together though. You should consider that when storing sensitive files. That’s why it’s recommended to leave compression off in https because it weakens the encryption strength

Good is relative tbf. I’ve had issues installing something natively while installing flatpak just worked
