Recently, my paranoia levels have been ratcheted up by reading about
companies' treatment of their users, along with an increasing awareness
of my powerlessness with respect to most content providers.
I therefore curbed most online activity and have attempted to host those
services I used on my own
Dear list,
I built a win7 guest with virt-install:

--cdrom /dev/cdrom --description="merdox -vm guest on host magnolia"

I believe first question you need to answer is: what is your threat model?
Are you afraid of losing all your mails (backups)? Losing control over
your email address? What are you going to do if you can't login to
your mailbox tommorow? How much do you mind if someone else gain
access to your old m

Thank you. The questions posed were quite enlightening, and showed me
that this needs a bit more thought.

Problem - as a high school graduate, I don't exactly have a steady source
of income. I could try to find income sources, but I'm not aware of what
cheap VPSs exist.
in the wiki, you can find some vps provider providing arch. check their
prizes, some are below 10€/month.
as i'm in germany, i use

You can set up more than one if you're that worried about reliability,
but it's almost certainly overkill for a
Basically, the suggestion I'm seeing here is: go, work, get a VPS -

Why should you doubt that, I've read many a blog where that is the case.
A few also block any dsl ip even though there are far better ways of
detecting spamming viruses which

An attempt to install GNS3 failed with the output below. Im not sure why
or what to do next. Has anyone else faced the same issue and got past
it? Please share your solution. If not can a more savy user take a look
at the output and point me in the right direction?

Reading through the responses, I find that my previous evaluation of
my options was correct.
The most reliable and easiest solution, by far, would be to set up a
standard account,
and to download a copy of all emails. The only problems with this are
the lack of control and privacy.

Hi all:
I've just recently begun tentatively using arch on a usb thumb drive. I
