Hi Worrier, https://riseup.net/ certainly looks interesting. Thanks very much for the suggestion. I will follow-up. I think this problem is actually a potentially tough problem. Pointers to academic research would be great too. I am hoping the post will generate some more discussion. I am not sure that encrypting disks and an anonymous IP are enough. Running a private mail server in conjunction with the web server helps, but there should be a cookbook solution. Or at least a discussion of the challenges. Really appreciate the feedback.

Berenger, thanks for the feedback and all suggestions are appreciated. I looked at the Tor project already and oddly the web site topic came up in my local gym. The consensus on the Tor project is that it seems to be a US govt sponsored project to lure and track potential terrorists on the web. The project looks really suspicious, and there was wide doubt in just our gym about its intentions. I would not feel comfortable recommending it for http://www.engsafety.org, which is critical of the failure of US regulators. I think there must be a better approach to anonymity. I am sure our site is not the first to need this type of setup. Thanks again for the input.

I'm guessing JACK is blocking the sound card completely. Not a big surprise considering it is meant for serious audio work, which requires low latencies. Since as far as I understand you need JACK anyway I suggest you configure the system around it. Let it take control of your sound card and make sure any other applications output directly to it. Most modern applications should be able to do that (I only checked mplayer2 in wheezy though).

Since this is the same priority as installed packages apt/itude will upgrade the package if newer versions are available, but will not install new packages, unless specifically requested to. Anything higher than 100 and one might pull packages from experimental without intending to. BTW, this is the same priority used by backports now.

Of course experimental should always be at a lower pinning priority than unstable, but I still like the idea of upgrading those packages which have been installed from experimental automatically.

Sharing sound between users on wheezy.
Good time of the day, Raffaele.
I could not answer on Your last letter so I have started a new thread.
Among other You wrote:

The problem now is that I can not achieve multi user SB access. Or
rahter I would say it is but working strange way. - I can play FLAC w/
mplayer2 under one user, at the same time I can pause the playing and
start watching movie w/ mplayer2 under another user. - All works. But
in case no app.s are using SB, I run under yet another user jackd, run
an MIDI editor MusE, then quit it (jackd is still running), I start
mplayer2 for FLAC under the first user - it refuses to play until I
kill jackd from under the third user. Please, do not ask me for the
configuration of the three users - just let's suppose this is the
initial situation.
In other words I see: 2 mplayer2 under 2 users at the same time can
share SB, whereas 1 mplayer2 and 1 jackd under 2 users can not share SB.
All these three users are in the audio group that has its record in
/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf

Best recommendations for posting anonymously?? Looking for pointers
Hi, Does anyone have any great suggestions for how to best post anonymously to web sites and how to create web sites and web servers to allow participants a reasonable expectation of anonymity so that they can freely post their concerns? There is a pro-regulation website, http://www.engsafety.org, on which I would like to add directions describing how best to post anonymously for end users. I would like US govt regulators to be able to comment about the problems and corruption they encounter at their jobs without fear of retaliation, but I am not sure how best to set-up a site which could provide this service. The hope would be to coordinate a bright light on the current regulatory problems to help speed up the process of regulatory reform through safe public discourse. Have any other site already successfully achieved this result? Help and feedback are appreciated.
