🚨 Tails 7.10.1: Actualizare de urgență pentru rezolvarea unor vulnerabilități critice în kernel-ul Linux și biblioteca Expat! Proiectul Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) a lansat versiunea 7.10.1, o actualizare de securitate critică destinată protejării sistemului împotriva atacurilor ce ar putea duce la de-anonimizarea utilizatorilor. ✨ Principalele remedieri și noutăți din versiunea 7.10.1:🔒 Patch de securitate pentru Kernel-ul Linux (v6.12.100):• Rezolvă vulnerabilitatea CVE-2026-64560. O pagină web răuvoitoare ar fi putut exploata această breșă prin intermediul Tor Browser pentru a obține privilegii de administrator (root), preluând controlul asupra sesiunii și deconspirând identitatea utilizatorului. 🛡️ Actualizare pentru biblioteca Expat (v2.8.2):• Adresează vulnerabilitățile din librăria de analiză XML (Expat) conform avizului Debian DSA-6404-1. Acestea puteau fi exploatate la deschiderea unor fișiere malițios concepute în aplicații precum LibreOffice, Audacity sau Git. ⚡ Actualizări mai rapide cu Zstandard (zstd):• Procesul de actualizare automată folosește acum compresia Zstandard, ceea ce îmbunătățește considerabil viteza de pornire în timpul aplicării update-urilor. 📉 Imagine mai mică și consum redus de date:• Prin eliminarea unor pachete de firmware neutilizate, dimensiunea imaginii ISO/USB și a pachetelor de actualizare automată a fost redusă cu aproximativ 70 MB. ⚠️ Recomandare: Echipa Tails le recomandă tuturor utilizatorilor să efectueze imediate upgrade-uri (automate sau manuale) la versiunea 7.10.1 pentru a rămâne protejați. #Tails #TailsOS #Linux #TorNetwork #CyberSecurity #Privacy #Debian #OpenSource #TechNews #FOSS

Ever wondered if Tails OS was *really* for you? 🤔 This video dives into why it's probably not. Seriously, it's powerful stuff, but most folks don't need that level of security. Check it out and see if you fall into that 99%! 💻 #TailsOS #Privacy #Cybersecurity

🕵️♂️🔒 Tails 7.9.1 a fost lansat! Actualizarea repară o vulnerabilitate critică de kernel și actualizează Tor Browser 🧅🛡️
Echipa din spatele Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System), faimoasa distribuție Linux axată pe anonimat absolut și confidențialitate, a lansat oficial o actualizare de securitate de urgență: versiunea 7.9.1. Acest release are un caracter critic și este conceput special pentru a proteja utilizatorii împotriva unei vulnerabilități recente descoperite la nivelul kernelului Linux.
Iată principalele modificări din Tails 7.9.1:
🔹 Repararea vulnerabilității de kernel „DirtyClone”:
Actualizarea principală de securitate din această versiune rezolvă o vulnerabilitate severă din kernelul Linux, cunoscută în comunitatea de securitate sub numele de DirtyClone (asociată cu manipularea apelurilor de sistem clone). Această breșă de securitate le-ar fi putut permite atacatorilor sau aplicațiilor malițioase să obțină privilegii de administrator (root) pe sistemul gazdă sau să spargă barierele de izolare ale proceselor (sandbox). Patch-ul inclus în versiunea 7.9.1 închide complet această portiță.🔹 Actualizare pentru Tor Browser și Clientul Tor:
Fiind un sistem de operare unde tot traficul de internet este redirecționat implicit prin rețeaua Tor, componentele de navigare au fost aduse la zi pentru a asigura o protecție maximă:Tor Browser a fost actualizat pentru a include cele mai noi patch-uri de securitate upstream de la Mozilla Firefox.
Clientul de fundal Tor a primit optimizări pentru o conexiune mai stabilă și circuite mai sigure, prevenind atacurile de tip „de-anonimizare” sau blocajele în regiunile cu cenzură agresivă.
🔹 Actualizări de componente și corecturi minore:
Pe lângă pachetele critice de securitate, Tails 7.9.1 aduce corecturi pentru utilitarul intern de configurare a stocării persistente (Persistent Storage) și actualizează diverse biblioteci de rețea din amontele Debian pentru a preveni crash-urile la pornire pe anumite configurații hardware mai noi.Deoarece Tails este un sistem gândit să ruleze direct dintr-o memorie USB sau de pe un DVD fără a lăsa urme pe hard disk, dezvoltatorii recomandă ferm tuturor utilizatorilor să facă upgrade la versiunea 7.9.1 înainte de următoarea sesiune de navigare.
Dacă rulezi deja o versiune recentă de Tails, sistemul îți va propune o actualizare automată (automatic upgrade) la pornire, cu condiția să fii conectat la internet. În caz contrar, poți descărca noua imagine ISO/USB direct de pe site-ul oficial al proiectului.

Tails 7.6.2 Is Out: Why This Emergency Privacy Update Matters Right Now
Tails 7.6.2 might seem like a minor update, but it carries an important message. Update Tails now to fix a critical security flaw. If you value privacy, digital freedom, or protecting yourself online, this update deserves your attention. On 15 April 2026, the Tails team released version 7.6.2 as an emergency fix for a serious security flaw in the Tor Browser's confinement.

ProtonMail anonymity speedrun, any%:
step 1: don’t use your real email to sign up, you absolute muppet. use a burner. gorilla mail – free, dies after an hour, leaves no trace.
step 2: free tier is fine. need to upgrade? Monero or cash. do NOT hand them a credit card.
step 3: want ToR? boot Tails OS first, full stop. Tails forgets you exist on shutdown, ToR handles the routing. together they mean something. separately you’re just cosplaying at privacy.
that’s it. that’s the whole guide. it’s not hard. the threat model does the heavy lifting, you just have to put in the work.

No. I'm just a 'punter' like most folk on here.
But an important use case for Delta Chat is it can be installed as a Persistent application on TAILS OS and functions perfectly over the TOR network.
This is NOT possible with phone network based services nor those who run their own networks, such as Session.
This is because DC is effectively just an email client and uses the Data part of the Internet 'spectrum' rather than the Telephone part(in really, really simple terms).
Delta Chat haven't "reinvented the wheel", they've just modified its performance characteristics.
Try as they may, its quite difficult for authorities to shutdown the global email system without shooting themselves in the foot. It makes DC very resilient.
To my knowledge this is the only, truly user friendly, secure messaging app that can be used over TOR.
(Having said that, I am aware of others, such as XMPP, etc. that can be used, but DC is by far the easiest and most flexible of those I am aware of.)
And, Session is improving all the time. Any bad press it gets for the use of a cryptocurrency to fund it just shows a lack of education on behalf of the writer. I'm happy to expand on this point if required.
However, Session has two problems atm, one is a lack of a post-transmission Edit function and the other is extremely low uptake, IMHO.
But as a secure messaging service, its First Rate, for my needs.

(Interesting project, I like the concept to make GNOME more flexible while keeping the overall user experience. I don't really get why GNOME wants to tie itself to Systemd. Also, supporting ather design systems like the KDE/Qt ecosystem would be nice (if they mean that), I face theming issues all the time with programs written for KDE, which make some programs unusable for me, while other than the theming, they would be great for my use case. I'm curious whether this project will shape up as an actual, daily drivable desktop in the future.)

Both are considered weak cryptography if I'm not mistaken.
While I believe deltachat to be a great app with good use case, it's not what I'm looking for.#xmpp ecosystem is?/was! pretty bad in serving proper e2ee cross platform implementation.
Till recently there was only conversations as a usable app. Since some weeks ago it seems that @dino now also offers e2ee by default. But also both conversations and Dino using an outdated omemo specification, and are by that not compatible with @kaidan.
I will reconsider xmpp when they adapt the newer specification.@briar not mentioned, but also no, cause it's not working on #TailsOS or on android with Orbot.
So very much unusable, since it's not running on the platforms we use.#simplex, no, I don't like nor trust the dev.
