Thank you for the link to anonshop.

Any other services that can hold your packages against monero?

Making your own key DIY is the next step

And now we've come a full circle. Microkernels are better because they have less code, but to make them usable across various systems you'd need to add more code. And after a point it'll stop being a micro kernel.

That's why a suitable middle-of-the-road approach seems to be statically compiling one's kernel with the least amount of add-ons (drivers - that's what most of the kernel is anyway) possible. I see it as a decent idea but annoying in practice since bigger updates mean either a script/manual intervention every time, and I like Debian so you can see how I perceive that.

As I understand it, a crude way to specify a micro kernel might be to call it a specialised slice of a monolithic kernel. It's still a kernel, and it being more/less efficient, have better security etc depends on the code itself rather than something external.

Understandably, I understand that the motivation comes from a combination of embedded projects: I remember that Minix is still a good example of a micro-kernel albeit being extremely vulnerable and buggy. Microkernels are nice, but I suppose one should look for a compromise when thinking of an OS based on Linux which runs around the world, and having a specialised kernel might not be the best idea.

What does secrets management look like at work?

I don't see a problem in forking, except for issues regarding logistics

Lol. Doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but you'd be insane to think that the NSA hasn't actively tried to exploit the TOR network for surveillance

This is exactly what they did

Except that with the money that the government has, they broke it a while ago. Notwithstanding zero days, one can essentially brute-force it with enough funding

VC funding gets us all, transcendental or not

I've not come across such a topic in a while; what security issues do you see with monolithic kernels that are not present in Microkernels? Other than the "more code so more bugs" part

They want water? Have them pump it from Neptune

That would make Qubes+Whonix an absolute nightmare for the NSA.

Except that's not true

Am I the only one still using Ctrl+w?

I'm looking forward to it. A good directory browser is important, however I'm surprised to learn that most other players don't have it

I guess I'm being very pedantic but J'aime is "I love" in french

I do not believe that this decision has been made in good faith and is against the wishes of the community

At least things work in the browser

I think that's a decent approach
