"Metadata absolutely tells you everything about somebody’s life. If you have enough metadata, you don’t really need content" Stewart Baker, former NSA General Counsel

That's why Briar protects not only against Content surveillance, Content filtering, Takedown orders, Denial of service attacks but also Metadata surveillance.

Briar uses the Tor network to prevent eavesdroppers from learning which users are talking to each other. Each user’s contact list is encrypted and stored on her own device.

#QubesOS actually had an research project, #Qubes Air, to provide an unified framework and API for managing multiple instances of isolated computers of ALL types, not just Xen VMs - they can be containers, VPSes, or even a cluster of physical Raspberry Pi. Not sure how far the project went. But I'd love to build a Qubes cluster with many Raspberry Pi, the ultimate solution to CPU side-channel attacks. https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2018/01/22/qubes-air/

Oh this is helpful, an easy way to check which filter lists contain a given domain.

No idea why I didn't think of this before but I've solved any networking problems while installing Arch. Just tether from mobile

Additionally, the Arch Wiki is fully usable in Lynx and flipping between TTYs makes for a very fluid experience

This is the collection that feeds Firefox with new extensions. Keep an eye on it! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/collections/4757633/3204bb44a6ef44d39ee34917f28055/

I just learned that you can use the GNOME Disk utility to copy a ISO to a USB drive... That's really handy, although I was shocked the the article is from 2014 and I found it only now! https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-copy-the-fedora-install-dvd-to-a-usb-drive/
