2013-11-05 Thread Kenneth Lipp

[liberationtech] A battery lasting GNU/Linux distribution?

If reading and battery life are what you care about, you might want a pixel qi device. Spendy but crisp screens viewable in lots of light (no more squinting at your tablet on a street corner). And since a display is about 30% of the power load, using one that doesn't require a back light gets

Hi Jacob, Can you talk more about how the user would run arkOS services as Tor hidden services? Can the user run the services they want _only_ as hidden services (i.e., not accessible through normal web)? Will the user need to do any extra configuration to enable this option, or will
