  • He isn’t being pursued for sharing the info but rather in directly committing crimes to get the info.

    Debatable. But even if he did, that means he helped uncover the human rights abuses of the US and it’s allies and their unbelievable collateral damage(~60% of deaths in Irak where civilians). Again maybe legally wrong, but ethically it was the right thing to do.

    He’s also now a Russian stooge so probably

    I don’t know where you get that info from, but if I had messed with the largest military industrial complex on the planet, I’d be looking for friends in other contries aswell. Snowden understadably did the same.

    probably deserves nothing other than what the US prison system will give him.

    I wouldn’t even want my worst enemy to experience US prisons. They are inhumane and they torture prisoners (extended solitary confinement) on a daily basis as a form of coercion. How could you wish this on anyone?




  • Always a pleasure to help :) Yeah took me a while to get it right to, but fortunately there are many guides to secure it properly.

    ssh is so amazing. With X11 forwarding you can start graphical apps aswell, so via ssh you can run everything you would on your host but via lan or the internet. I used it to edit documents directly in libreoffice on my host and I have an app on my smartphone wich emulates a mouse.


  • Ssh is always enabled

    That depends on the distribution. In archlinux the server is disabled by default. If I remember correctly some distributions distinguished between the client and the service package, which arch doesn’t, so it could be standart to enable it if you install the server.

    Also usually I can access the tty but sometimes a reinstall is easier than figuring out how to fix it.

    Yes, true and most of the times it’s quicker to reinstall. It’s especially annoying if you haven’t used your system in a while and have no idea what you did last.

    Snapshots is sth I still should setup.

    The gentoo wiki has a super detailed guide about porting your system to btrfs: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Btrfs/System_Root_Guide














  • A fellow cs mayor I see, no I apreciate the thoroughness. You are right I was trying to put it in laymans terms and might have been a little to cursory.

    I gotta disagree on the pseudo randomness tho. At least in linux /dev/random generates its entropy pool by using device drivers. So there is no simple algorithm behind it where you can copy a seed. So you would have to to copy the system state and all external events happening (eg. the ethernet network traffic) to generate the same output.
