  Furiously sets up a LUKS swap partition on Google Drive
In case anyone is curious if this would work, LTT tried it: https://youtu.be/minxwFqinpw

  Thank you! I was curious but not ten-minute-video curious. I wonder if there's a cloud provider that doesn't block this sort of usage - could it work with onedrive/dropbox/etc?
is that a whole petabyte of swap???
this hurts my brain
