I'm using Tails inside virtual boxes only, because there is almost zero possibility of local data theft or local attack in my case, much more problematic is "Open Internet". So I think they are too much paranoid for my purpose and could be good idea to try to discuss it with them. Even I like design of Liberte Linux more [smaller, faster, same amount of tools, encrypted filestystem usable even under Windows...]. But we seems to be little bit OT, better to return back to question: what server application to run these days for self-suficient-anarcho-cPUNK-box. I think people from FreedomBox thread & Tor thread should be able to answer us best. Btw I see FreedomBox as unusable overkill, but it is just my IMHO. Too much crypto* == no usability for everyday purposes [which is basically exactly, why I'm reading this mailing list and doing wiki]. We must count with users as my mother is. She is able to encrypt/sign e-mail with Enigmail and use OTR and TrueCrypt... that is good example, where all of this should lead on user level. e.g. Pidgin + OTR plugin, Thunderbird + Enigmail, Ubuntu -- good user experience, not really much ponts, where even my Mother "can do it completely wrong" ... it is Facebook century, even most stupid or non-techie from primary school are on netz. Nobody cares about mailing lists and bbses anymore. Time to do it completely transparent [really gr8 job Enigmail !!!] --> Tails is killing itself because crypto* overkill even on web now [even I understand it could be good to have complex, it should not be default... propaganda and education should not kill usability, even it IS fu*ng important] Smart aPUNK study and is able to configure server, but does not understand elliptic curves on math level. Still MUCH better to understand concepts and be able to run it relatively fast and secure, than undrstand math and not 2 be able to do revolution, eh? have an ice day, ~ Over Dne 11.10.2013 17:53, Eugen Leitl napsal(a):

While they're technically correct, there's value in virtual network plumbing, so you can build up separated compartments, and routers which force everything through Tor.
It would reduce the threshold of entry, even though there are ways of detecting that you're running in a hypervisor jail, and break out of it.
