• When downloading and exmaning files from the darkweb, what is the safest option for opening a file in virtualbox tails.

  Virtual box Tails is pointless. Just use Whonix.. To examine files also use VirusTotal. Source: over 1 year ago

• currently running tails over vm on the most secure settings for both programs what could be a point of weakness like would u recommend a vpn a proxy chain? what would u recommend for extra anonymity?

  Running TAILS in a virtual machine for anonymity is a fools errand. Research Whonix and its independent gateway and workstation VM. Configured correctly the only network interface of the workstation is the gateway over Tor providing a higher assurance of security. Source: over 1 year ago

• Firefox with tor?

  Whonix is a Linux-based environment that can theoretically transport any TCP/IP application over Tor and greatly reduces the potential for IP leaks by having a secondary 'gateway' that runs Tor independent from the client device over a private network. Source: about 2 years ago

• How to Code Anonymously, Part 2: Network Security

  The previous strategy is great, but it's actually easier and more effective to just use Whonix. Whonix is a Linux distro - designed to be run out of VirtualBox - that implements all the goodness of the previous strategy. Even better, it comes with a novel network architecture that involves two virtual machines for extra protection:. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Website Impersonating a Desktop Environment

  Sandstorm really had this kind of feeling. Not that it presented as a desktop environment visually - but it offered a much more integrated “computer” of documents versus silod web site apps where you need to open each site to see the files in the app. https://sandstorm.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?

  RemoteStorage https://remotestorage.io/ seems to be trying to do this too I also really like the https://sandstorm.io approach which goes a little farther beyond. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?

  I did read from somewhere, that with Wordpress SEO plugins etc some website got to top of search results. Those that did website with other tech did not get same results, and thinked how to compete or survive. For security, I use Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io fork of WordPress that generates static websites. But that does not work with some interactive plugins. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Plunder and Urbit

  Urbit made the choice to use a bunch of silly new words for familiar concepts, not because they were inventing something so new that there were no words to describe it, but because they wanted to fool people into thinking that's what they were doing. Actually they just spent 10 years trying to do https://sandstorm.io/, but made it 10 times harder than it needed to be by coming up with a wacky new set of... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
