"(Though with intel VPro (VT now?) your hardware including ram is
allready hardware backdoored so..."
I've heard sysD is backdoored as well.
"Also, systemd controls your diskcrypto along with 100s of other
things."
This really bothers me, we already have proprietary microcode, and M$
processors are being built to weaken randomization introducing a jitter into
the salting process of crypto.
These things cannot be easily dismissed, it is already known that these
"agencies" have been working to subvert crypto for decades, including
intentionally weakening NIST standards with their flawed curves. They are
also known to work hand in hand with M$, and this so called "private
corporation" actively works to create decryption technologies, and are no
friend to privacy. I don't know anyone who pays attention to security, that
believes Windows is not backdoored.
Where is this push for sysD coming from? Why is concern treated with
banishment, derision, or downright silence? Is this the way of freedom I
hear so often bandied about? Where is the users choice in all this? (and
please do not tell me to build my own OS)
