  1. I was going to have a little side quest and try Whonix, which is known to be a privacy focused distro that can be run in VirtualBox. However, I ran into trouble, that can be fixed by reading some documentation (it was related to adding additional kernel components). However, I'll do that later on because learning should be my priority. Before focus solidifies, I often need these little diversions to get my brain locked in.

    #Whonix #tonight

  2. #whonix version 18 is broken for me with virtualbox.
    Can't set the right keyboard layout - there is an entry complaining about that for ch_fr or fr_ch in the forum - and copy/paste on Virtualbox does no longer work.
    I'll remove Whonix 17 but I don't understand why the latest and greatest #wayland was chosen but is not really usable.
    Obviously, there will be no solution in the foreseeable future for virtualbox and depending on it was a mistake !

  3. Dylan "I read the law and I'm here to implement it" M. Tylor gets up in the morning and decides to write age verification code that he himself calls "hilariously pointless and ineffective", within a week strikes 4 repos off his list, and i bet the Linux Kernel is going to be next (I'm joking... mostly)

    It's worth noting that the first people who approved the PR on systemd repo are 2 big tech employees - Mircoslop and Redhat/IBM (why I'm i not surprised!!), someone then opened a revert PR, Lennart Poettering (systemd creator) closed it.. thus blocking the removal

    And this is why you now have Liberated Systemd, a fork of systemd without Age verification.. which IS 'hilariously pointless and ineffective' at saving children

    when engineers starts reading the law like a specification, this is what you get.. useful idiots.

  8. Honestly.. at first i was surprised (and disappointed) at some major Linux distributions not having a clear answer to age verification laws after weeks of their announcement, but then lots of them started discussing them. really! discussing them! what's there to be discussed?

    "maybe we can implement age checks in a privacy respecting manner? 👉👈"

    And it's just so happens this serves the corporation that you work for best interests! Big tech "Foss devs" have a clear conflict of interest here

    Man Beginnt jede Reise mit dem ersten Schritt.

    Der Wechsel von WhatsApp zu Signal ist ein vergleichsweise kleiner Schritt, der einen aber schon sehr weit bringt.

    Nerdiges:
    Fürs Handy gibt es #GraphenOS und andere ROMs"

    #Whonix und #Tails (ja kenne beides) sind sicher der "Goldstandard" wenn man von sicherer Hardware ausgeht (Höhe des Paranoiagrades) .

    Aber nichts von alledem ist gegenwärtig "mehrheitsfähig".

  15. Whonix
    Updates broken. Error message:

    following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG CB8D50BB77BB3C48 Patrick Schleizer <[email protected]>

    How to get and install a new one on the gateway ?
    No internet access, no real useful instructions found.
    Getting the key via gpg: "Operation not permitted" ?
    Yes, using "sudo".
    The fix I did yesterday on a diferent instance (virtualbox) does no longer work.

  16. Ich nutze nun in meiner Arbeit drei verschiedene Systeme. #GrapheneOS auf meine Geschäftssmartphone, #Tails meist nur zu Anschauenungszwecken und #Whonix für alles was mit q3.social zu tun hat.

    Das spannende ist, dass die Systeme primär für die Soziale Arbeit genutzt werden. #Streetwork #Flucht #aidshilfe #Migration #SozialeArbeit
    Normale Klienten mit speziellen Systemen betreut.

    Ich müsste eigentlich noch #nextcloud nennen.

  28. Recently installed Kicksecure and Whonix on a 'persistent' USB stick.

    Already have TAILS OS as a 'persistent' install on a USB stick and cloned to a MicrSD card.

    I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any other viable 'live' or 'persistent' Linux OS's for portable use?

    Whonix protects against behavioral fingerprinting with mouse movement anonymization.
