moin moin,
I had completely forgotten about the dual-persona options.
I still don't want to use it in this case as I absolutely don't trust the

Still, multi-persona might be useful for some other projects and
potentially for work in the future. I will also investigate it for
emergency use.
Thanks for the links!
ciao,
