Something like that, except I never use hibernate and my disk is
encrypted, so hopefully if someone steals my computer they don't get
anything but the hardware :-)
Also, so I only have one thing to remember my disk encryption

set to automatically login to my account at boot so just have to enter
the passphrase once.
