i saw some tips for Qubes in internet, they doesn't require implementing new things or be a programmer but they are useful. so i was thinking about adding a section in the website where people can share their tips that helps to increase security or usability. maybe you could make it "approve before publish" so only good and verified stuff end up there.
some examples are: https://twitter.com/rootkovska/status/832571372085850112 Useful trick: start Windows template VM (which has no user data), install/upgrade apps; then start Windows AppVM (w/ data) in offline mode. So, if you worry (hypothetically) that your Windows or app updater might want to send your data away, this QubesOS trick will prevent this. this should be obvious given the nature of Qubes but i realized it only after Rutkovska said it. or this one: https://micahflee.com/2016/06/qubes-tip-opening-links-in-your-preferred-appvm/ which is useful to prevent mistakes like clicking links in email VM and also increase the security (i have done that in a simpler way: chmod -x on firefox in bash.rc) i'm sure there are many more but i want to keep this short what do you all think? i would also like to say thanks to everyone involved in Qubes and to GsOC students for their effort and interest -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
