Which better protects you from glowies? Mint or Ubuntu?

Also are either of those slower or faster then W11?

Apologies for the noob question :(
--- 92784384
>>92783573
Either of those are good choices, fairly similar and faster than W11.
I'd suggest just picking one of those, learning it and when you feel comfortable enough you can try to make the switch to Debian.
If you wanted you could also do the same with Manjaro and then switch out to Arch (although you could just use archinstall and get up and running easily on Arch).
>Why switch out to Debian and Arch?
Since they are fairly minimal distros, you know exactly what happens on your system, making it safer and faster.

Neither. Use Debian which they're both based on. Debian is a community project, not a Microsoft/glowie-friendly corporation like Canonical, and Mint is ultimately based on Ubuntu.

It is because most of them would never be a target of any sort of attack.
So Xi knows you dance to faggy pop songs and creep on teens on it. Join the line with 1000000000000 men who also do.
Unless you are a fish with security clearance that matters why would the Chinese state give a fuck?

So Xi know you jerk off to lolis, what could YOU offer him to stop him telling the world?
Same with the FBI, why would they be bothering with a Walmart Shelf Stacker? Only the people who fedpost get a knock from them. This is is easily avoided by not being a political sperg with unwarranted self importance, that thinks he is the new political rebel on the block. 
Then there is the angle i have seen some anon's use.
>WELL WHAT IF THEY MAKE SOMETHING LEGAL ILLIGAL AND RETROACTIVLY ARREST Y FOR IT
Never has happened in the history in law enforcement. People have always been given fair notice of law changes. It is up to you to keep up on reading notices on gray area stuff you have.
I fully believe in the right to privacy, but i can still see the other side of how normies do not give a fuck.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if I run W11, and on W11 I run a virtual machine running Debian, and inside that Debian VM I have a VPN switched on, will all the traffic inside that virtual machine still be as anonymous as a VPN can make it?
--- 92801545
>>92800877
Yes. 
However, VPN doesn't make your traffic anonymous (especially if you user a 3rd party VPN which sells your data just like the regular harvesters). The only thing VPN really does is changing your IP.
For hiding your traffic more or less you need private VPN (your own) or someone outside of your country's jurisdiction rights.

Most privacy advocates learn about it on social media first, so they don't understand it very well and they resort to vague arguments about values, when people will generally act adequately to their individual goals. This is why privacy software that has a bad UX generally miss the point of cryptography and are also poor cryptography tools (e.g. pass(1) – see https://rot256.dev/post/pass/).

I am writing my own SMTP server in my spare time, and I keep on thinking how stupid SMTP is.
At the time when it was being developed, I'm sure it worked fine, but it lacks many important features (TLS, authentication) if used without extensions (although no SMTP server wouldn't use extensions).
I have even considered writing my own email protocol that would retain most of the features of SMTP, and have E2EE among other security features. I would also try to limit the possibilities for nonstandard features.

--- 92822426
>>92821890
I did, and it's not related to anything I said. Blocking the fingerprinting vectors:
1. Actually makes you more visible if it's not used by default in a de-facto browser on the majority on the web. How many people are using Firefox? How many force enable RFP and disable the specific feature set (the combination itself can also serve as another FP vector)? Yeah, you're nearly unique on that site.
2. Severely degrades the performance, because the most innocent features can become detection vectors. You literally cannot use most hotkeys and hijacked smooth scrolling with RFP.
3. Is ultimately the cat and mouse game which is easy to get wrong.

It's not fixable unless you rewrite most of the web (which is broken indeed). It could work in Tor Browser, simply because it's used by the majority in the Tor network, and you don't stand out by using it. But for a little-used general-purpose browser like Firefox it's a dead end, and randomization is needed instead.

Brave's approach is just stupid and easy to detect. Randomization per session gets you fingerprinted all the same and arguably even worse. With the added disadvantage that you are getting all of the Brave bloat new "services" on top

This is wrong. Botnets, ransomware, credential theft, spam mails, various scams, crypto mining, side channel attacks and mass surveillance all rely on mass, not on targeted individuals that are "interesting". You clearly have no idea what you are talking about and are trying to talk yourself into a false sense of security.

Yes you can use PGP with Gmail.

>>92790049
Using your own server comes with the pitfall of having all the mail hosting risks on your side, plus the fact that big mail providers like Google and Microsoft have "rules" for the behavior of mail servers in order to prevent spam. That means if you do not meticulously adhere to all these security and behavior factors, your mail server is insecure and your mail isn't sent/received, because it is automatically classified as spam or untrustworthy. Rigging up your own service is fine if you are the only one using it, but if you are interacting with Google/Microsoft/etc. servers out there, your trustworthiness is important and you need to play on their level. Most people can't do that and it's not really worth the effort, as Email is not a secure communication either way.

You can't. You can use sandboxing, but it is still the same device & network ID (IMSI, IMEI), same internet address (IP), the same OS, the same version, the same firmware.

Wrong, see LTT hack recently, any software, email, URL attachment, PDF/document stuff, you have no idea what you are talking about.

>Again what makes you so interesting to people who are "at the top" doing all this mass surveillance?
ASK THEM! It's not me who's running these programs, ask them why they do it! Time and time again inquiries and studies by congress et al have shown that they have zero impact on crime prevention or combating terrorism, ASK THEM WHY THEY DO IT! It's obvious for anyone with a brain tho.

Does no one care about their heads getting cut off? Who told people to not care? 

I used to think conspiracy theorists/schizos were crazy but the more I dig deeper and deeper into the structure of our society, the connected networks of causality, the more fucked up our current society seems to be. Particularly it seems the whole top down elite capture of instutions is whats causing the whole thing. Whether its gaslighting people/spreading disinformation/threatening people/silencing people/making them apathetic/confused and afraid to voice their own opinions. 

Even here, I see people who self-censor in the fear that they will be targeted. Its an extremely dangerous system we have here. Almost gives me the "Roko's basilisk" or Cthulhu type feeling of the elites pushing the world towards a certain path of doom

You're a retard who needs to learn how to read. Several links under resources discuss firewalls like:

Yeah, they're real outstanding resources on the topic.

Well yeah, what exactly are you expecting? Unless you're in some kind of corporate environment where many machines need to be managed and configured, it's pretty much just turn it on and forget it. Do you want to do more than that? Then look up the documentation specific to your OS and firewall application and go from there. You can't reasonably expect a general overview privacy/security guide to cover every possible firewall for every possible OS.

Have there been cases where the police/Feds couldn't access files from a encrypted drive through Veracrypt or some other open source encryption program? 

I've heard anons state that you shouldn't trust MS or Apple, because their encryption might have a backdoor where the pigs or glowies can access your files through it. Yet, so far, all the recent news stories I've read so far that the authorities couldn't break into involve Bitlocker or Apple's encryption. 

Apple and MS even refuse to comply, even when ordered by the Feds or court. In fact, Cook talked about the ongoing conflict with the FBI, about this, saying, "[W]e have a responsibility to protect your data and your privacy. We will not shrink from this responsibility. 

MS devs expressed similar thoughts, there's no way you can securely encrypt sensitive files, while also having a backdoor for it, because that's an intentional vulnerability. 

I'm not saying Apple or MS are trustworthy, but it seems that real life cases prove that the government doesn't have backdoor access given to them by Apple or Microsoft.

Apple never said that they unlock an iOS device. They can, all they need to do is to reset the apple account password and give it to the cops.

They refuse to do it for low level, yet publicized crimes because it's great marketing.

Some police department in the US has no power, NSA or CIA is very different, but everything they do is classified too.
