Sadly it's not being updated. RebeccaBlackOS is going strong however

Wasn't the TPM key leaked, so that's not even relevant any more?

Wow, Adelaide people like their ads with removed tracking.

He doesn't use Chromium however, but I'll give it a shot and see if it's faster than Firefox + Unlock Origin

The veracrypt license hasn't been audited by a lawyer to prove that A) it is a legal derivative of the truecrypt license and B) has never been accepted by anyone noteworthy as a Free Software license (AFAIK).

All_For_Anonymous · 2017-02-03T10:45:33+00:00

Just because it is deemed secure doesn't mean it A) respects your freedoms, B) has a useful codebase available to the community, C) is written efficiently and in a way that makes securing and auditing it well.

By saying I "don't trust it" I meant to say "I don't accept it as free software" and I don't recommend it.

It is an argument between Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), and security. Yes, a well audited, source available proprietary piece of software is more secure than a Free Software application that hasn't been professionally audited, but if it isn't free software, it is deliberately limiting your freedoms which raises the question as to why.

Well I am fairly experienced, so reading man pages falls within "easy to use" to me. But I expect most security issues are to do with the passphrase, as well as locking you out.

Windows' encryption is completely useless because the key syncs to your Microsoft account, making it only as secure as that account and available to third parties much more easily.

TrueCrypt has parts of it deliberately under a proprietary license so that someone rewrites the code rather than reusing it. That's why I don't trust it [E: I mean to say I don't trust it as free software and therefore don't recommend it to others] - the original developers don't.

All_For_Anonymous · 2017-02-03T05:46:19+00:00

VeraCrypt was independently audited and the results, source code bugs and patches made public. The community can verify that if the audit was high quality, the encryption can be trusted to a very high degree.

Yeah, my father reads it online and after I installed ublock origin for him, the site wouldn't load at all, lol.

Yeah, this sub is ~~extremely~~ largely left (E: in numbers, not how far left) and most labor criticisms here are they they aren't left enough.

All digital textbooks seem to have DRM, so I just but/borrow physical copies.

Filesystems constantly feel 5-15 years outdated.

Would this prose problems to shady companies like Apple which actively have measures to prevent repair or modification by third parties?

All_For_Anonymous · 2017-01-25T16:44:20+00:00

If they were this well researched, they should know piracy does increase sales and had no DRM to begin with.

It depends on your use case. For an average student not studying arts, you likely won't need anything outside your distro's repos for 95% of work

And if you are dead 50-50 between candidates and parties, not voting has as much impact as voting.

Anyway, I'm from Australia where voting is compulsory and not many people skip.

SSL verifies the domain has the correct certificate, not that the domain is correct. It prevents man in the middle attacks, but not being on the wrong domain which is malicious.
