I still think the #Pi0W & #Pi0W2 are competent and with all the #Greedflation and #Enshittification going on, more OSes should target it.

- Seriously, there needs to be a version of @tails / @tails_live / #Tails for this thing...

Or at least a proper @torproject / #TorBrowser installer for it since manually setting up #Tor is neither easy nor should novice users attempt it!

@Lilith Jain…

Ich traue den wenigsten Menschen zu, händisch #Tor & Co. einzurichten.

Wir sind da vielleicht die Ausnahme, aber ich erwarte nicht von Journalist*innen, Anwält*innen u.ä. dass diese das am Start haben.

- Und schon garnicht " #TechIlliterates "…

@tails / @tails_live / #Tails ist nicht perfekt, und genauso wie @torproject / #TorBrowser sollte es nen #UndercoverMode alla @kalilinux [wieder] bekommen, aber es ist AFAICT die beste "Out of the Box" Option…

@breakdownthewalls @Lilith gibt's überhaupt Menschen die auch nur ansatzweise mit #OpSec, #InfoSec, #ComSec & #ITsec zu tun haben und NICHT @tails / @tails_live & @torproject / #TorBrowser nutzen?

Also zum #Kommunizieren und so…
- @kalilinux ist explizit nur für #Hacking & #Forensics vorgesehen ubd weder auf #Sicherheit noch sonstwas optimiert, wohingegen #Tails darauf optimiert ist, Fehler zu vermeiden und zeug abzudichten!

@Lilith

Sinnvoll kann es auch sein, für Politkram und alles drumherum bspw auf Tails zu setzen, handlich als überall nutzbares Betriebssytem auf einem USB-Stick, mit gutem Passwort auch kaum zu knacken, und das Internet läuft über Tor.

Anonymisierendes Linux: Tails 7.9 pflegt Kernkomponenten

New Release: Tails 7.9 | Tor Project

Tails 7.9 is now available.

Guess what? Another #SonicRoboBlast2 #Speedrun is up, this one in the All Emeralds category as #Tails! Not a lot of runners for this one, to my surprise, but I guess it makes sense; Vanilla Tails doesn't have a Super state in this game, so he has no real incentive to go for them during a speedrun.

أصدر نظام Tails تحديثه رقم 7.9، والذي يحمل تحسينات مهمة للمستخدمين. يتضمن التحديث رفع إصدار متصفح Tor إلى 15.0.16، بالإضافة إلى إضافة حزم برامج ثابتة محدثة. تهدف هذه الحزم إلى تعزيز التوافق مع الأجهزة الحديثة، خاصة مكونات الرسوميات والواي فاي، مما يضمن أداءً أفضل. كما عالج التحديث مشكلة ظهور إشعارات نادرة وخاطئة بخصوص شهادات Secure Boot القديمة، لضمان تجربة أكثر سلاسة وموثوقية للمستخدمين.
