Basic Infosec for Holla Forumsaccs

The only reason I haven't made the full plunge into a Linux is bc of my FL studio hobby. What's the best platform to use fruity loops and Abelton on?

...

Just get a 2nd computer.

Just dual-boot. It's not hard. Use Windows for that and Linux for all bad goy stuff.

I was just about to say, I don't trust TOR one bit. There's other ways you can go about if you want to stay anonymous.

Are you talking about i2p? Because i2p is garbage. It's slow, never quite works right, and it can't really visit clearnet sites. VPNs are good, but your VPN then becomes your ISP in terms of what they can see. Yes, good ones don't keep logs, but you're still relying on their words. The best approach is probably using you->VPN->tor->website.

assuming you are alluding to the fact that ISPs can see you are using TOR,
if you live in a country where youre going to get removed for using TOR, yes it is a risk. you might be better off with other VPNs.

however, TOR will ask you whether to use a bridge and explain why youd want to use one upon first start.

Im talking about something like liveusb + tails + wifi cafe with no cameras. This depends on your threat level of course.

As many others have already said, if they control all the exit nodes, is it really worth using TOR?

Well the next thing is let's give users a list of vpns. I feel overwhelmed when I search the lists. All claim to be the shit.

What about phones and tablets?
