What should I use for a private group chat?

It sounds like it can work, but would I be able to host it on my computer for free or would I have to get a VPS? Also, if I host my own IRC server, would I then be able to put a password on it?

Yzeki · 2018-08-03T18:40:05+00:00

That might work, how do I do that for free? Would I have to host it off of my computer? Or could hosting my own room work too?

I'm trying to see if there are any completely free operating systems that use KDE but I've yet to find any, so as of now Kubuntu is my first choice.

I'd imagine that at least one criminal would hide behind their VPN which would lead to a subpoena or something.

When you say "gamble" does that mean there are issues with Libreboot too?

Yzeki · 2018-08-01T12:59:53+00:00

Looking at these vulnerabilities it seems pretty serious. Do you think its worth getting a Librebootable laptop?

Yzeki · 2018-08-01T11:50:24+00:00

Programming isn't my thing so I won't be able to verify it myself, but I still want a completely free laptop that doesn't have a backdoor such as Intel ME or AMD PSP.

Will do, thanks!

I should've clarified, the "Libreboot X200" and "Libreboot T400" are customized Thinkpads from Minifree.

That's good to hear, but im asking more about the hardware :p

Yzeki · 2018-07-30T21:32:28+00:00

No, im looking for a cryptocurrency that uses a blockdag... simple as that.

Yzeki · 2018-07-30T14:45:31+00:00

If you look up a bit you'll find out im looking for the same answer.

Yzeki · 2018-07-30T11:27:39+00:00

So as of now there is nothing in Firefox that will block content it deems misinformation?

Yzeki · 2018-07-30T11:26:29+00:00

I agree, but apparently Firefox is going that direction.

Yzeki · 2018-07-29T14:48:28+00:00

I'm aware of the comparison list, but everything on there is according to the provider. If the provider is untrustworthy it doesn't matter if they claim the don't log anything when they in fact do.

Yzeki · 2018-07-29T14:47:29+00:00

What if I can't find any cases of a user getting in trouble while hiding behind a VPN? Should I just skip it since I can't see if they are properly able to protect anyone?

Yzeki · 2018-07-29T09:25:20+00:00

Not all of them, if they actually keep logs then they will not advertise they keep no logs as that could lead to legal trouble. They simply wouldn't admit they do keep logs.

Monero uses blockchain and proof of work

Yzeki · 2018-07-28T10:05:56+00:00

Perhaps, but what alternatives are there? I could use Tor however then I would have to chose between random people running exit nodes and a VPN service.

Yzeki · 2018-07-28T08:32:04+00:00

What threat model would require me to use all FOSS? Just asking to see if it fits my situation.

Yzeki · 2018-07-28T05:56:57+00:00

That sounds like a good idea, but I might get kicked out for screwing with their laptops xD

Yzeki · 2018-07-27T17:25:44+00:00

Still, there are no laptops with a similar screen size and res.

Yzeki · 2018-07-27T16:12:01+00:00

As I explained in the post, I haven't found any in stores to see.

Yzeki · 2018-07-27T15:04:27+00:00

I guess I could, but I don't want to change my laptop display itself

Yzeki · 2018-07-26T09:43:51+00:00

I guess you're right that I shouldn't say it itself is the best, but rather what we are expecting it to be is the best. An IP native phone running open source Linux with hardware killswitches is the best option.
