For a supposed hacker community, knowledge of Tor sure is low. Perhaps the privacy and anonymity people don't feel too keen on commenting. Here is a good talk by Roger Dingledine, the original author of tor dispelling common myths and

I think that the focus of combining it with Whonix is interesting and is what piqued my interest originally. Other than that, nothing.

It's highly unlikely that any operating system can be as secure as Qubes OS[1], simply by considering the model itself. Especially if using Whonix[2] VMs to browse the internet. It is based on GNU/Linux and Xen. Each piece of soft

I'm curious about the "trust" discussion that keeps being brought up here. What does GrapheneOS do differently from say, Debian GNU/Linux or Fedora? It seems to me that it's no different than running a non-Microsoft

How about everyone puts their monthly $5 into a VPS to run a Tor node to make the network faster rather than constantly pay for snake oil?

Luckily I never have to use Windows these days, but with tiling window managers and package managers being a thing now, it might not be as horrible usability wise.

I think that we both can agree that less = better, so I don't see your point.

Tails uses a less secure model because it relies on the system firewall to block any non-Tor connections. This means that any user to root vulnerability will leave you naked, deanonymized. Additionally, protocol leaks, or unintentional leak

That's not an IP leak.
