You do have a fair point. Although my views align with SuperTramp's, I can understand how those who are less inclined to completely trample over copyright restrictions may not see that statement in such a positive light. However, it seems questionable that the execution of JavaScript is

It seems more complex than I thought. The config makes it even less likely to be used by friends/family. And you're right again, I didn't think about the hardware. One more downside. My perspective is always the random normal user who's privacy conscious. To me it would be the rare case of

If you burn the tails ISO to read-only media, then yes you'll have to configure it each time. It is also possible to simply use the command line. You could add your private key to the ISO before burning it, but I wouldn't do that. I wonder how many people actually use untrusted computers

I see, so for personal machines (including a Replicant phone, though there's no guarantee the private key can't be accessed from the modem), problem solved. So Thunderbird + Enigmail on Tails would need some config on each boot? Too bad, as if it wasn't annoying enough to reboot from a

Magic Banana is right, I shouldn't have skipped over the timestamp. Check on your router when your DHCP lease is up then see if the computer looses connection around that time.

I recently have regular Wi-Fi disconnections. Turns out removing the X200 laptop from it's base helped, and probably getting closer to the source helped just as much. I'll have to test again soon, but it never happened before.

I don't know about that, and frankly speaking, I can't see the big effort in buying old s2 phones, putting replicant on it and selling it for doubled price. Why this is supposed to be "so hard" is something i cannot understand. If you really don't dare to flash the phone yourself, then ask a

No, I guess I just included that line because it was the only thing happened between login and the disconnect. I checked the log again and it seems to occur every hour (17 minutes and 1 second): Jul 8 03:17:01 desktop1 CRON[2390]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report

bill mate, I did not for it seems obvious to me, I mean, rejecting non-free software has nothing to do with copyrighted music, or whatever non-free data for that matter. I don't like my youtube-dl to download or execute any kind of non-free software but I am very much ok with downloading

Since the disconnection happened more than seven minutes after the execution of the tasks executed every hour, I do not think they have anything to do with the disconnection.

With IMAP, it is possible to have encrypted e-mail available on multiple devices as long as you copy you're private key to them. So, if you have a desktop at home and a laptop both could be configured to read your e-mail. For something like Tails, an encrypted flash drive with your private
