This is the result of work begun by the SecureDrop team in July 2025 to completely overhaul how journalists process submissions. SecureDrop Workstation users will receive it automatically during a system update in the next few weeks.

Big question
Has anyone here gotten an nvidia single gpu passthrough setup working in QubesOS?

We dropped the #fwupd side in https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/commit/575b0f08281799962e8fbf6ac2ff570066fa3fe7 -- and #LVFS will stop signing with GPG when we release 2.1.1 in a few weeks time.
I think the only people that will even notice are those using #qubes to deploy updates.

SecureDrop Workstation 1.5.1 has been released! This minor fix addresses a Tails config location change found in version 2.13.0 of the SecureDrop server.

CW: KanColle Event Procrastination, Computer Setup
I was supposed to be finishing off the #KanColle event but instead I distracted myself with tooling around with my laptop.
Previously I'd set up a standalone qube to run a local SearxNG instance to aggregate/filter my search queries. (I was also looking at privacy but kinda let that slide a little bit, when I try to run the instance through TOR the queries time out. Can run it through a VPN but don't have my VPN turned on at all times).
Today I decided that I was gonna actually set up a RedLib instance on the standalone qube, so I can use LibRedirect to redirect locally instead of a public instance. I had eyed this setup for awhile but never got around to sitting down and doing it.
It was easier than expected following the line by line instructions for linux binaries on redlib's page. It took longer for me to realise the line by line instructions directed the user to an older version of the binary that had a bug preventing more than one request before erroring.
Either way I am happy now that I have local search aggregation, and local frontend formatting for reddit which unfortunately is still a treasure trove of user submitted information that can't be found anywhere else.
Now to rename the service qube away from "searxng" as it hosts more than one service lol.

#Debian splash!
Fig 1. Neofetch can’t get past hypervisor to profile hardware in #Qubes
Fig 2. But even with permission hardener and and hide hw info from security misc in #Kicksecure,
admin can still get to #baremetalHow to block self-consciousness?
There are known unknowns, the unknown unknowns,
and the not to know in order to know unknowns . . .Tips for latest Qubes: security-misc applied to #Whonix GW and WS, firejail dvm captive portal, onionize Dom0 sources and Whonix, remove xscreensaver
Fig 3. TB thinks https is a onionsite down ; )

Good news: we are helping to get a bug fixed in #QubesOS. It looks like the upcoming 4.3 will allow attaching a hidraw device on the first try.
That means no workarounds required to use #Signet on Qubes, and it'll likely fix other devices too.
(I've been using mine with #Qubes for years, but it'll be nice to not have to enable usb-reset-on-attach anymore)

Hey #linux community, I ask of you all yet again. I wanna know some fun, chaotic, weird, random Linux distros.
For now I've got #nixos, #vanillaos, #funtoo, #mxlinux, #qubes, #antix, & #puppylinux on a quick Google search.
It's been almost 2 years since I touched NixOS so might as well play around with it again.
I'll start googling up some more & I'm also gonna be looking on #distrowatch later but I gotta go eat my midnight snacks, lol.
Again, no #linuxfromscratch / #lfs. That's for laters!
-
Remember, #Qubes and #TAILS #OS do not have the #microphone and #camera blocked by default. Better yet, remove it physically.

Another #Signet #Saturday and this week, I've opened a ticket on the #Qubes issue tracker.
https://github.com/qubesos/qubes-issues/issues/9367
Signets can be used in Qubes without this being fixed, but it currently requires attaching the device to a qube, detaching it, and then attaching it again.
If this issue is fixed, it'll work fine on the first attachment.

Hmmm... I think it's time to switch back to #Windows for my day job. I did #MacOS for three years (just so I could say I could and call BS on anyone who said it was better than Windows or #Linux), and managed to convince my boss to let me use #QubesOS for the past three years (on the #Purism #librem14 - what a POS).
I love #Qubes and will continue to use it for my personal daily driver, but trying to operate in my work environment from Linux, and especially Qubes, had been causing entirely too much friction. Windows is a dumpster fire, but at least it's the same dumpster fire as everyone else.

I found it by reviewing @libreleah feed... It is called #Solene #Unix #Qubes #Security #Privacy #VirtualMachine #VM #Cool

I used to run QubesOS somewhere around 3.0 RC1 back in 2015. I was impressed with how well it worked out of the box for a major OS project such as this. The only thing that didn't work on my machine at that time was automatic suspend/resume within the netvm.
I loved what @rootkovska was proposing with security by isolation, a much needed step in the right direction for secure systems.
Fast forward to today and the supported hardware has expanded significantly and many problems have been solved in the 4.1 release. The community has also expended and I saw @micahflee's HOPE talk in 2018: "Qubes OS: The Operating System That Can Protect You Even If You Get Hacked"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4U8YbXKwogIf you're looking to join a community to learn more about Qubes OS I have a few resources. Hope to see you around!

Yet again I've found myself researching #QubesOS. The whole #compartmentalization aspect is awesome. With the ability to spin up new #qubes as needed and tearing them down again when done.
I would like to hear from those of you who are using it on a regular basis. Is it your primary #OS or a secondary one for specific security-related tasks?
Which templates are you using?
Are you using #Whonix? Have you enabled system/template updates over #Tor?On what hardware are you running it on? I've been warming to the #NitroPadT430 along with a #NitroKey.
Kindly boost to get a good discussion going. Thanks!
