Removal of:
Yes, this guide has a discord server, and a Twitter account despite those not being recommended at all for their stance on privacy and their struggle with anonymity. But this is about me acting appropriately in making this guide available to the many and conveniently using my experience and knowledge to do so as anonymously as possible.
Replacement of the PrivacyGuides macOS hardening guide due to bad and dangerous information for a much better guide recently published which goes more in depth and gives much better and accurate information. At the moment at least. Here is the URL: <https://www.bejarano.io/hardening-macos/>
I tried to contribute and here are 2 examples of their responses:
Here are 2 issues I posted to fix wrong information:
1) https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/issues/1493
2) https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/issues/1491
I was immediately rejected despite providing academic references and links to official documentation for their issues ....
Proposal, new special specific targeted rule due to the amount of issues/drama we have with this.
Forbid all discussions about AnonyPla / Lena whereabouts in all rooms (Anonymity, Security, and PSA off-topic) except #Bnonymity.
Transgressing the rule might lead to a warning, a kick, or a ban in all the rooms above depending on the circumstances.
And removal of PSA ban appeals since the e-mail doesn't work anymore (tested)
- Various spelling and grammar fixes
- Fixed several numbering errors in references
- Updated and fixed many broken URLs and saved them in the Wayback Machine
- Noted that https://mastodon.social/@anonypla is gone? added strike-through
- Adapted Qubes OS hardware requirements that were too low for a decent experience (RAM) according to their recommendation
- Put more incentive to use Tor Browser Safest mode as long as it doesn't break anything and switch to Safer if necessary and with precautions linked in an appendix
- Precision that Anti-Evil Maid on Qubes OS is only available on Intel CPUs
- Removed dead link of Centry Fork project
- Added Window 11 support to the guide
- Partial additions of partial Qubes 4.1.X support but needs completion and testing (coming soon)
- Added link to official guide to upgrade from Qubes 4.0.X to 4.1.X (fresh or in-place)
- Fixed issue in Qubes OS Tor over VPN and VPN over Tor Networking cases that were just plain wrong
- Added guidance to run Windows 11 within Virtualbox + link to official guide from Oracle
- Added recommendation to install/use the excellent and free Safing PortMaster and added a link for some compatibility issues between portmaster and some VPNs
- Removed Windows AME completely from the guide completely. It's a dangerous project that should not be in the guide.
