Seems like a good idea but has there been an audit of what's in this? The developer has only been around since February and with privacy related...
I do have a 2gb swap partition on my SSD just because, but it never gets used since I have 8gb of RAM and set swappiness to the lowest setting. It...

If the email service is going to be used mainly to communicate with family/friends that use gmail/yahoo, and will be linked to things like your...
How foolproof is disabling the mic within BIOS? The webcam I can tape over easily but the mic not so much. I'm not sure of the possibility of some...
If your ISP traffic is being archived (possible if the NSA put you on a watchlist), then a VPN will prevent the email from being read as it's...
So you're saying that when you receive a call while the mic block is running, it doesn't even block your voice? Then it's worthless. The method...
Maybe I'm paranoid but I'm skeptical that this is genuinely foolproof, especially if the phone were to be compromised with any sort of...
Bit of a false dilemma since there are providers outside of those regions- Boleh in Malaysia, iVPN in Gibraltar (although that may just be an...
@cb474 Well I'd say that there's a non-zero chance that you've been selected for NSA data collection simply by virtue of the fact that you've...
I mainly use startpage or Duckduckgo, but I've recently discovered disconnect.me, which is basically on proxy for Google, or Yahoo or Bing- great...

I'd be most worried about malware infecting a powerful AI at some point in the future, even if an AI is coded initially for benevolence, it may...
From what I know, it's not so much the sound of the typewriter- they can correlate the distance between keys pressed by sound (somewhat analogous...
The IDE interface is much slower than SATA3 so you won't get the full performance of the SSD with any adapter... Personally I think putting an SSD...
If they bug your house (possibly through your cell phone), they can still make out what you're typing by simply listening to the sounds the...
If you're on a $500 budget, I'm sure you can pick up a system that's a couple years old off Craigslist or some place, it's not going to be 4K but...
It's used primarily on read-only media, it's not as if you can update it, so yes indeed a new OS is necessary to ensure security.
I think that the "&(*&agreffblagrewuq293NEBU" scheme is far more random than any Diceware password less than maybe ~12 words in length. Diceware's...
I'd like to point out the fact that the GRUB bootloader is unencrypted, and a reasonably sophisticated hacker would be able to inject a keylogger...
A load of stuff I barely understand ;) Can you see an issue?
