Re: [qubes-users] Rise up . Net
Regarding using a google account for these lists, it's something I do strictly on googlegroups mailing lists. I don't see a point of having my "real" mailboxes spammed just to have all my data processed by google anyway. I could use an alternative e-mail just for the sake of incentive other people to do it too, but I have other means of express my political statements on that which I find better, and even if no one used google accounts here, we're still stuck in a google mailing list anyway. -- iuri.neocities.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Rise up . Net
According to the Riseup terms, riseup users are supposed to send invites to people we know and trust. If there is a riseup person in this list (and I think there is), you could even get your account suspended and the person who gave you an invite, too. I take it that this list is actually one of the best places in the internet to ask such a thing, because this reply I'm giving you it's a rare thing out there. But looking at what are you trying to do, you don't need a red riseup account. You may use a green account which doesn't require an invite. You can for example start a mailing list - lists.riseup.net which will use the e-mail accounts you group is already using, including gmx/gmail/etc. and that is a problem, the involved people should start gradually using a different account - that's my personal opinion, I've found that for most people it's better to change their habits at their own pace than to radically change everything overnight. The main issue solved with a mailing list is that you can conceal the subscribers, and therefore they can't be connected, even if there's a subscriber spying the message content. If people can respond to the messages, then their addresses will be revealed only for subscribers. You can even have an open public list which reveals every message and every subscriber like googlegroups, there's a lot of flexibility. Other tool you may use is the crabgrass social network at we.riseup.net - that one doesn't even require an e-mail account, and it have most features you would expect from a production suite / social interaction / group work framework for non tech people. There is more you can do without a red riseup account, look for "other services" with the green star in the main site. -- iuri.neocities.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Qubes 4.0-rc2 networking issues
I just installed RC2 for the first time, ticking the 'enable Tor' box corresponding to the Whonix template. After booting and connecting to WiFi I was surprised to note that the Whonix Gateway started with the 'connecting to Tor' dialog when I started the Fedora-25 template to update it. So it seems everything was being routed through Tor even though I was not using Whonix. I tried changing the networking options in the sys-net and firewall VMs but that simply dropped the connection. I then tried to reset again and got an error message saying the VM settings could not be changed. Can someone tell me the default settings for the sys-net and firewall VMs? I only want Whonix to route through Tor. Hopefully I wont have to reinstall it again. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Yes I've had a look, TALOS II is definitely a great project! Unfortunately, my budget doesn't really allow to spend 5-6k on a workstation. Nontheless, I really appreciate their efforts and can imagine privacy/security-conscious companies do so as well.

Yes true, I just thought I might reverse-engineer the correct settings for the KGPE-D16 from that config.txt file. Now as I have learned that the default settings are fine, that idea doesn't really make sense anymore. I initially expected each motherboard/chipset would require a custom setup to work.

Seems I really need to learn a bit more about this as soon as Qubes OS is up and running.

I once also read that insurance companies increasingly attempt to track/profile people (and their habits) on social media to determine insurance premiums. In other words, sometime in the future your insurance premium could depend on what you post/share online (or what not).
