These test are fairly meaningless and can give you a false sense of security
(which is worse than knowing a system is insecure).
Just because you can hide your IP address and browser parameters doesn't mean
you can't be tracked through Tor. An advanced spying system detects actual

Again, 'parted' uses 'mke2fs', a separate program, to create an ext4
filesystem. Updating GNU parted would not make any difference. Old or new,
'mke2fs' should not "fail". What is the error message?
Thanks so much for the input. I ended up reaching out to Minifree who set up
the laptop and asked them. I was too afraid of doing flashrom related things,
so instead they gave me a solution that involved symbolic-linking vmlinuz and

It seems to me Mozilla is going to disappoint us. They edited the bug and
turned it into a documentation issue instead of looking at the actual request

how can I update GNU parted 2.3 via terminal? the program failed to make an

GNU parted uses 'mke2fs' to create an ext4 filesystem.
Try to write it in /etc/rc.local before the exit directive. You need
administrative permissions to edit that file (here with GEdit):
$ gksu gedit /etc/rc.local
Good call! Best practices absorbed.

I guess you are talking about the GNOME Partition Editor, that is gparted.
