[qubes-users] Re: High spec laptop for Qubes OS

2018-03-07 Thread alexclaytor
I use an Acer Aspire E5-575G-76YK and went to 32GB of the highest speed and 
lowest latency RAM that was compatible. I also went to a Samsung 1TB 850 Pro 
SSD. 

This Acer is well known for being a workhorse but most of all, one of the most 
Linux compatible notebooks out there. I love it. Plan on buying a 2nd as a 
spare.

[qubes-users] Re: Do you use Qubes OS as your main OS on primary PC? What kind of work do you get done on it?

2018-02-13 Thread alexclaytor
I've been using Qubes for about a year. It took me a few weeks to get 
everything just right, I did a TON if tiny customizations for the sake of 
opsec. Even tho I have a Surface Pro, I use my Qubes laptop 99.999% of the 
time. I specifically bought an Acer laptop that was totally compatible and put 
32GBs of RAM in it. 

I use it for all kinds of things, personal use like forums, darnet, etc. I also 
have a Kali HVM that connects straight to the wifi device only bypassing 
sys-net. I run only dom0 and my Kali HVM when in use. Even tho I have template 
VMs, my run VMs have allot of customizations to I did not want to include in 
the template. I've gotten in the habit of running duplicates and burning them 
after a couple uses then making another and so on. 

When 4 final is released and there is a pack for full support of a Windows 
10/Server 2016 HVM, I'mm for sure be doing that as well. I do have a Windows 7 
HVM now for the VERY few apps that there are not Linux variants of, but I only 
need that like 1% of the time.

[qubes-users] Re: Qubes and Whonix now have next-generation Tor onion services!

2018-02-01 Thread alexclaytor
I see on the Whonix website that's linked to it simply says: 

"To access the v3 onion address, Whonix users must install the latest Tor 3.2.9 
client in Whonix-Gateway ( sys-whonix ) via the stable-proposed-updates 
repository."

Any idea the commands to do this from the terminal for the whonix-gw vm? I've 
edited the Torrc file before but that's the extent of anything I've ever done 
with Whonix. 

Thanks!

[qubes-users] Re: Qubes OS 4.0-rc4 has been released!

2018-02-01 Thread alexclaytor
Are there plans for the final 4.0 release to have a direct upgrade path from 
3.2? Or do we just backup all of our VMs, fresh install 4.0, then restore our 
VMs?

I see, thank you for the explanation. I had no idea ME versions were that 
fragmented.

[qubes-users] Anyone disabled the Intel ME yet?

2017-09-18 Thread alexclaytor
Has anyone here successfully disabled the Intel ME yet?

http://blog.ptsecurity.com/2017/08/disabling-intel-me.html

I'm hoping a future release of Qubes integrates this into the install process 
for us. Or be downloadable as a package like Anti-Evil Maid?

Thoughts?
