Encrypt all the things!

mikec, I think you are over-estimating the average american (which is a shame)

hippy, yeah thinking that's about the best I can do. or put it on my server and call them with the url perhaps

So why is it this thread has a shield half coloured in next to the forum logo on my N4 while the rest of the forum has a lock?

Never seen it before. Cool.

Obviously this comment bypasses the idea,

But... Is it possible to start an new phone line, new PC, new Vpn, new everything to be totally incognito?

Is it actually worth doing without standing out even more?

Just curious.

How would you pay for the phone line and wouldn't its association with you via that address be a giveaway?

PAYG mobile ?

spying on their own.

Funny how they didn't give a shit when it was mass spying on the public, but as soon as it's spying on the pollies they get their knickers in a twist asap.

Delete all the things!

Use a seedbox.

Reddit delivers this list of providers:
http://mjs.me/lzBUE

Something like one of these https://whatbox.ca/plans (from that list)

Paranoia might make you choose a provider that accepts bitcoin, and you only access their site over a VPN that doesn't log like http://ivpn.net/

Torrent on the seedbox and use SFTP to transfer the files to you whenever you wish. Ideally over VPN again.

You basically don't want to torrent on an unencrypted connection from home, and you probably don't have the security processes to always guarantee that is the case. So find safer ways.

All of the above assumes you aren't torrenting Ubuntu... if you are, just knock yourself out.
What is the issue with Ubuntu?

There is an adage that you just "torrent linux ISO's". Which are predominantly free and available for direct download...

slightly off topic, but since this thread is where all the boffins hang out;
can you recommend any decent free proxy servers for streaming services?

an, er, friend of mine wants to watch bbc news streamed online without worrying about licence fees.

Is this board affected by Heartbeat ?

The FreeBSD lot are the most extreme on the security front, it's no surprise to see them doing this.

FreeBSD motherfucking sucks balls. They're not doing jack shit security-wise, they are just piling tons and tons of shit on top of each new release instead of actually doing the real work.

WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues

This page exists only to help migrate existing data encrypted by TrueCrypt.

The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms (click here for more information). You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform.

Yeah that's a real bugger. I need a encrypted disk support for Windows/Linux/OSX. No fucking idea what I'm going to use now

What's bitlocker? It was mentioned is all.

haha it's MS encryption.

All thinks mentioned are made by major companies that I'm pretty sure the NSA has their hand in
