@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii
Granted, @tails_live @tails / #Tails and @torproject / #TorBrowser are propably one of the best & most battle-tested options that are useable for #TechIlliterates...
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
If not for being absurd then for the fact that people need to get things done!
So you can imagine how glad I was when @thunderbird merged #Enigmail into #Thunderbird so there's no more fiddling around getting #PGP/MIME to work!
@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii
But I also consider why @torproject hasn't done so:
And lets be honest @tails_live / @tails / #Tails is way more important to maintain as with #TorBrowser, literally human lives depend on it!
@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Exactly...
Coincidentially, that's why #Android (and #iOS) doesn't let users have #root access because billions of devices owned by mostly "#TechIlliterates" that hardly get #SecurityUpdates would be an even bigger risk if they didn't boot a locked-down #ROM image, thus only allowing for #malware in user-privilegued userspace!
Cuz having a mobile OS that shoves everything through #Tor and only allows #userspace-Apps in the form modern web technologies would be a big #security and #privacy gain.
#tails 6.14.1 released, with good news:
>## More flexible confinement of _Tor Browser_
>
>We improved the confinement technology that we use to protect your files from
possible security vulnerabilities in _Tor Browser_.
>
>Until now, _Tor Browser_ could only save downloads to and read files from a
limited number of folders.
>
>With Tails 6.14.1, you can safely access any folder in your _Home_ folder or
Persistent Storage from _Tor Browser_.
I always found the whole "you gotta put stuff in 'Tor Browser' or 'Tor Browser (Persistent)' before the browser can see it" to be an annoying part of using tails. Curious to see how much difference I'll notice being able to have the browser go straight to the files I want to without that extra song-and-dance.

Trumps Kürzungsrausch gefährdet für das Internet wichtige Open-Source-Projekte
Die neue US-Regierung entzieht dem Open Technology Fund die Mittel. Von diesem sind unter anderem Let’s Encrypt, Tor und F-Droid finanziell abhängig. Der OTF hat Klage eingereicht

I just received a concerning email from the OTF (@opentechfund.bsky.social) stating that a major source of their funding is in jeopardy.
If you care about open-source, anti-censorship, or the open internet, please consider supporting one of the projects they fund.

Snowflake proxy update 14.5
Testing this new format. This uses vnstati.
Just a question though for y'all; do I need to add alt-text for each images? I'm kinda.. lazy.. haha
@Andromxda @mollyim no it's not bs and fanboying @signalapp isn't going to change that.
If #Signal was secure it would be the #1 comms tool of organized crime...
Real professionals use #SelfHosting capable, fully #FLOSS'd solutions like #PGP/MIME & #XMPP+#OMEMO.
It's just me reading the room: Cuz #ComSec isn't done woth "JuSt UsE sIgNaL!" and everyone who claims so without pointing out #OpSec, #InfoSec & #ITsec is BSing hard.
Fortunatelty, @thunderbird and @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and many other tools make that easier than ever before.
