Dual booting day to day distro and #archlinux since last week.
Arch unforgivingly forces the command line on you. It would have been intimidating, if it weren't for the Arch community and the tremendous #archlinuxwiki.
I haven't felt this excited about computing since 1999.
Gotta say, #ArchLinuxWiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Main_page really has the best information for debugging #Ubuntu issues.
I use it so much.

Strongly recommend #TorBrowser w highest Safety level and #uBlock added, as per how #TailOS provide Tor to #journalists. Great for browsing the #clearnet and onion sites. Put the #NoScript addon button in the topbar to easy enable js for trusted sites.
For #I2P we recommend a #Firefox based browser that is hardened like TorBrowser. A good place to start is the spyware.neocities.org site, and the #ArchlinuxWiki on #hardening Firefox-based browsers.

Yes, its so important to not have #DNSLookups tied to your #IPAddress.
We spent some time a year or so ago on fedi informing of a bug found in the #ArchlinuxWiki, where their #transparentProxy instructions were flawed. We never got a response from any contributors to that wiki at the time, and to our knowledge the instructions were never fixed.
We can hunt down our post if you're interested.
Nice to see someone using the term 'fascist' for what it means, too.

The anti-spyware site comes with a #MitigationGuide (some might say, #PrivacyGuide) for some software, and translated versions of some info too.
Tor link:
http://spywaredrcdg5krvjnukp3vbdwiqcv3zwbrcg6qh27kiwecm4qyfphid.onion/
The website alleges that even #TorBrowser has #telemetry (though delivered over Tor)!
We ask @torproject to respond to that claim.
A researcher may wish to examine any differences between the MitigationGuides of Firefox/#TorBrowser with other guides, eg. the #ArchLinuxWiki.
@SonoMichele
Apologies in advance for the necrotoot but the #ArchLinuxWiki shines pretty bright here, if you are looking for #InternetApplications at least.

We've identified a flaw in the #ArchLinux Wiki on #TransparentTorification.
If the #DNS queries are sent direct to your #router then the following rule/line in their #iptables setup will permit that **before** the DNS query is redirected to 5353.
--ipv4 -A OUTPUT -d 192.168.0.0/16 -j RETURN
The above line must be moved down two lines, to below the "udp --dport 53" line.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tor#Transparent_Torification
Please fix ASAP if you have access.
