I guess it’s just me I still like one of the paragraphs in the conclusion, which I think can still be used fairly.
The point i am trying to make there is that they are not acting as default LE, they have morphed into orwellian overseers who are in your crack every time you take a dump. That is very different from traditional policing, particularly when done in secret and targeted at non-criminals.
Yes, we can link to that instead.
Portal → I vote to kill it.
It has always been ugly, and I think probably under-used as you say. Since it is duplicating info found elsewhere, I won’t miss it.
Will fix that. We should probably merge it also - I’ll check how it looks etc.
When I originally created that page The Importance of Anonymity a few years ago it was a different climate and it was more like a mindset of “Tails has this subject, should add to Whonix wiki for completion purposes”. Same for some sites from jondonym on my mission impossible to perfectionism making the best of all. (You can perfect into direction of completeness, but you cannot at the same time perfect conciseness/usability.)
Nowadays I would think twice about creating that page. Nowadays times are much more Orwellian so I have to self-censor, censor whonix.org contents (limitations on free speech in Whonix forums) to not get into too many “things” (even that word is self-censorship) than possible to handle.
What I meant to write originally was “to not open too many fronts”, but “front” could by a non-generous interpretation (an overly critical interpretation, not trying to understand but trying to construct a point) be understood as “military language, call for violence”. And then use that as a piece to make a case to shut down the project. For completeness sake the obvious meaning of a simple idiomatic way of language: it’s not possible time wise to run Whonix as well as a free speech platform since one is a mostly a technical challenge, the other one is for a big part a legal challenge which alternatives like gab.ai trying to fight (meaning I hope gab.ai and others are real about it). Orwellian mental clusterfuck, mission accomplished,
No problem. Anyone can edit any page they want. (for the most part) Plus I’m sure it looks better than what I could do and it frees up time to answer support questions… etc
I added the note on Gnome Disks. Manual testing is your reference.
I just noticed that the two pages have a copy of the exact same info (before my changes to the first link) Can you please templatize the encryption section so changes wouldn’t need to be made twice?

Could you make a bug report for gnome disks please if it doesn’t exist
already?

contents will be removed. Chapters will remain with links to new
content. Note on page header about page deprecation. Content was already
split and moved to other pages by torjunkie.
The page title Full Disk Encryption gets kinda destroyed with the appendix and Encrypted Images. Plus the former has hands-on practical advice while Encrypted Guest Images is a research result, not actionable by most users, useful to keep since sometimes requested as feature and then nice to have as a competent answer.
(which reminds me, if they can’t fix it can we redirect that page to a page called “Protection Against Real World Attacks” instead? Or, in desperation I’ll create a new page & copy all text across & fix links because it is annoying to look at that title year after year… )
2. Re: the white space after linking to external resources - it is only
a problem when the resource pointed to is a PDF. Maybe hutch knows why? It happens in both normal linking, and in blockquotes (the white space)
Another nit, that template:Tunnel Support has {{VPN documentation}} at the bottom, but no text appears? It just leads to white space - so can we delete or fix that?
Yes, on second thought I realize it is best to generally avoid all the political stuff in wiki (forums maybe ok) because it a rabbit hole that never ends. Wiki-wise, we can just refer to external refs (reputable) in the main and just briefly address the issue if necessary.
Thanks 0brand. Don’t spend too much time on the forums. Your skills are better used for technical fixes and documentation IMO.
Forums are a black hole where users will suck you dry, with many (most?) failing to do basic wiki searches, because if they had the answers would have already been discovered.
I’m starting to realize that. Most of my time has been going to support instead of wiki edits. To be honest its is a little frustrating when its only a matter of a (user) using a search engine to find the answer. Is it because of their inexperience - I was there not to long ago - or because they don’t want to spend the time. Free support principle applies for either case but I don’t mind spending a few extra minutes for the former. But I think I’ve been holding their hands a little to much. They have to learn to be self sufficient.
I’m working on Forcing onion wiki. Has anyone else copied over the https Everywhere rulesets from the new file location (old VM to new VM). There are those weird characters and I want to be sure no one has had any problems with copy rulesets to new VM.

Agreed. That page should be renamed either way.

Crucial helpful “it is only a problem when the resource pointed to is a
PDF”. Maybe content security policy related. Could you raise in that
thread please?

We don’t necessarily need an external references always. We can also be self-referential sometimes. If you tested it and wrote so in the forums, then that is a reference. Even just <ref>As tested by...</ref> would do as long we can confirm who made the edit.
In Onionizing Repositories#Debian_Templates users are instructed to add debian.list to Qubes Debian templates. When following these instructions and running apt-get update I get this output.
W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:5 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list:5
This happens on Debian templates that are up to date but not on Debian templates that have never been updated.
I also have Qubes repos onionized but I don’t think that is the issue.
All operating system update stuff fixed (very messy), plus millions of lines of spacing fixes etc.
(We really should have a separate Qubes update template of its own & not “borrow” the non-Qubes-Whonix one, but anyway)
1. DispVM half page half done (we need to watch the {{whonix-ws}} and {{whonix-gw}} code isn’t broken on multiple pages - I already discovered it in AppArmor section and DispVMs, so no doubt it is elsewhere.
2. Template: {{Tor_Browser_Remove_Proxy_Settings}} causes massive whitespace because of the last footnote in it for some reason.
