Re: [Tails-dev] NSA tails and closed code
Georg Koppen: anonym: Romper Stomper via Tails-dev: and why are there closed codes in “tails”? I guess you are referring to the firmwares required for hardware support? If we didn't ship these firmwares Tails would not run on most hardware. It's a necessary trade-off. Is there a list of those firmwares somewhere (I couldn't find anything on the Tails website about that topic after searching a bit) or is it "just" a Debian package taken 1:1 from upstream? https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/stable/config/chroot_local-packageslists/tails-common.list#L247 this is the list of debian packages Tails installs to have firmwares -- boyska ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.

Re: [Tails-dev] NSA tails and closed code
Romper Stomper via Tails-dev: Is it true that the “tails” ports are controlled by the NSA? I'm not sure what you mean with "ports". However, NSA doesn't control anything related to Tails to our knowledge, and we do what we can to defend against it, e.g.: https://tails.boum.org/news/reproducible_Tails/ and why are there closed codes in “tails”? I guess you are referring to the firmwares required for hardware support? If we didn't ship these firmwares Tails would not run on most hardware. It's a necessary trade-off.
