I’d like to finish off the Anonymous Chat section sooner rather than later. But updating the Encrypted Email entry requires @tempest to upload his updated email guide (he’s still fixing it so not on his .onion these days)
Old edits in that section still awaiting approval:
Nymservers and Pseudonymous Emails -> 3 pending edits
Remailers: Send Emails without Registration -> 7 pending edits
I’ll just keep working on some pages here and there (time permitting) in the meantime. There are a few messy areas in the lower section of the wiki main page e.g. Tunnels, Appendix, Money etc. that need editing love.
do you have the last version i did that was up for about a week? if you have a version that was using danwin1210.me as the server, nothing has changed and nothing is going to change at the moment. i don’t believe there’s been any major developments there.
Then we can stack multiple images horizontally, change their size, and links, descriptions etc. without them automatically stacking vertically as is the case currently.
Looks bad when many are done in succession e.g. Anonymous Money page. If we had that template, we could do something like this instead there:
2. Also, that annoying footer we have with shit listed vertically, instead of horizontally, I see various sites talk about using ‘display: inline’ or ‘inline-block’ for that purpose - not sure how hard (or possible?) to implement in mediawiki. The online mediawiki footer entries don’t seem very helpful.
These templates aren’t part of a default mediawiki installation and the instructions on how to get them failed for me in past.
I don’t see the images at the right side vertically as an issue. Just filling up empty space. Gallery could make these images vertically, I think. Help:Images - MediaWiki
But that would make the page longer. More to scroll. And still waste white space at the right side.
I was using the term virus rather than malware recently. It is undisputed, that malware is technically more correct. A virus is just a subset of the overarching category malware. Viruses may not even be the most scary type of malware. Imo torjan horses are a lot worse. However, I yet have to find a laymen in person who knows the term malware. They however do have an idea what a computer virus is. Even though technically imperfect I prefer the term virus since it leads to an understanding by a wider audience.

Nothing Qubes-Whonix specific lately as far as I can remember.
Qubes is currently missing out:
Not directly. Some Qubes-Whonix specific changes go into individual packages rather than into the qubes-whonix package. Not much going on there lately. The “direct” but “incomplete” github links:
After thinking about it for a long time I decided to reject the changes for these reasons:
This entire section is meant as a workaround until fixed gnome-disks is in stable. Which means that ideally neither I nor anyone else should ever have to care about the underlying commandline interface to get something as important as block device encryption working.
Some instructions are redundant given the amount of data on the password best practices page. I advise anyone who has anything important to store to just use the maximum length passphrase instead of jumping thru hoops and debating what is safe with keystretching of all flavors (sha iterations, argon2)
Interacting with filesystems like ext4 formatting, should be done using gparted for simplicity. Whenever considering instructions we should not include stuff that can be done with GUIs or any other easier way. The wiki should be about the least complex way to accomplish complex things and no more.
I hope you try to understand my POV and aren’t put off by the edit rollback. I am a big fan of short and sweet documentation and don’t want users to be confused or give up because the page has become unbearably long.
