-Safest way to use Firefox? Don't use it!
-========================================
-
-And no, I'm not telling you to use Chromium/Google Chrome...
-
-So, I'm going to give you a bunch of really good information because
-I care a lot. If you really want good out of your Firefox browser,
-consider this: don't use Firefox. It's just as bad as Windows/Google.
-Use a fork, and the add-ons: NoScript, RequestPolicy, HTTPSeverywhere.
-Use FOSS Linux with no systemd like Devuan because a good browser means
-nothing if your OS is junk. The best search engine for now is
-ixquick.com. The best Firefox fork with freedom and privacy as its
-philosophy is GNU IceCat, which actively removes bad "features". Don't
-use download mirrors you don't trust. If you don't like GNU IceCat,
-simply try to use almost any fork of firefox and make several changes to
-about:config. Don't use uBlock and uMatrix because they are botnets like
-Disconnect, DuckDuckGo, Ghostery, AdBlockPlus being shilled as an agenda
-to undermine, destroy and replace actual good addons. Specifically:
-HTTPSeverywhere, RequestPolicy, NoScript, AdBlockEdge.
-
-I warned you all way before, but now AdBlockEdge is dead. Mint's
-also been recently shilled as an attempt to entrap exodus newbies running
-from Windows into settling for another false sense of safety, but it has
-been a major failure for the shills. There was a huge amount of uBlock
-shilling before and immediately after AdBlockEdge was discontinued,
-praising uBlock in its description.
-
-[AdBlock Edge : Firefox Addons](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/?src=search)
-
-"*Reason: Discontinued in favor of Ublock Origin, a general purpose
-blocker, that not only outperforms Adblock Edge but is also available
-on other browsers and, of course, without "Acceptable Ads Whitelist".
-This page will be kept for archival purposes. You can still contact me
-on GitHub or Bitbucket as Adstomper.*

-* KISS Philosophy

-I can haz bribe?
-
-Another addon that has been shilled a huge amount is Disconnect:

-
-Shills will absolutely hate this and pathetically attempt to add
-disinformational advice to it. They very often try to recommend: uBlock,
-uMatrix, uBlock origin, Policman, Disconnect and Ghostery while
-displaying a hilarious "smart guy" disapproval of NoScript, Request
-Policy and HTTPSeverywhere. Additionally shills will argue that by using
-these settings and addons the user will stand out by appearing to have a
-more unique signature on the Internet. While this idea may have once began
-from a stable train of thought, its logic has been corrupted and twisted
-for use as propaganda and to make those who severely improve their ability
-to protect themselves worry and feel stressed out and indecisive.
-
-This is a classic example of a defeatist "just please give up", "don't
-even try", "stop making my job more difficult" style psychological
-tactic. Use these tools safely to protect your privacy to the best of
-your ability. Share with your brothers and sisters, your neighbours and
-friends, everyone.
-
-Although uniqueness is only one side of this multi-sided coin, the
-more people on board, the more everyone can blend in and appear less unique.
-Every person that uses this guide, or varying combinations of, means
-more work and frustration for those who may try to violate others'
-privacy. Nobody has any right to know how many wipes it takes to get to
-the center of your ass unless you say otherwise.

-Other notes:
-
-* Make sure you go to Firefox's add-on page and set all your addons
- to NOT update automatically. You want to click update on your own
- terms when you are ready to update. Calling home randomly isn't
- acceptable
-* You also want to visit the "plugins" section of the addon page
- and set Flash and other non-essentials to "never activate"
-* Go explore around inside 'about:config' and 'about:preferences'

-On Bitcoin Classic and all the bickering
-========================================
-
-
-
-Too many buzzwords in the Bitcoin world lately. Hard forks, SegWits,
-Gavin Andresens, forks, consensuses... Bleh, it was inevitable.
-
-I've been in the Bitcoin community since 2010. Seen and lived through
-its many ups and downs. Six years into it, this seems like just another
-one of those things.
-
-
-
-Looks like all the big fishes are supporting it, must be good, no?
-Well I don't think so. By doing some research, I stumbled into a very
-interesting place on the Interwebz, called
-[Classic Cloud](http://classic-cloud.net). If you click it, you'll get an
-epiphany. If you don't, I'll write it down here for you... On this Classic
-Cloud website, you have an offer to fire up a Bitcoin Classic node with the
-cost of $0.40/node per day! Yes, you read it right. On the page, you get a
-nice explanation that goes like this:
-
-*new nodes spin up within 30 minutes of first confirmation ·
-current cost of a node is about $0.40 per day · send any amount ·
-your funds are applied evenly over the 3 months following the
-transaction to support Classic nodes in AWS · 25% are full nodes while
-the rest are pruned nodes storing 10GB of the blockchain · you choose
-the data center*
-
-I'm not sure if it's true that 25% of nodes are full, but even if it
-is, it's an amazing number. At the time of writing, the page reports 816
-nodes running. Divided by 4, that's 204 (full) nodes. On
-[coin.dance] (https://coin.dance/nodes)you can see nice graphs reporting
-all the current nodes and the numbers of different client versions. Now it
-says there are 2249 Bitcoin Classic nodes running around the world. This
-means that (at the very least) **one third(!)** of the Bitcoin Classic
-nodes are fake AWS nodes. And that's just from classic-cloud.net. Who knows
-if there are other websites that offer a similar thing? The very bad thing
-about this is the lack of information. Very few people actually know about
-these facts, and they'll believe Bitcoin Classic is widely used. It's a big
-issue. I urge you to share those links, or this blog post to everyone around
-and help killing Bitcoin Classic, putting it in a grave, where it should have been
-from the very beginning.
-
-In case you're a Bitcoin Classic user and you're now wondering what
-to use instead - switch back to Bitcoin Core or one of it's
-consensus-respecting forks like Bitcoin Knots, Bitcoin RBF or Bitcoin
-AddrIndex. These three are all forks of Bitcoin Core that work the way
-Core is intended to, but with nice bonus features included. Bitcoin XT
-or Bitcoin Unlimited are **not** the correct answer either.
-
-And once again, this is not a hate speech. This is a warning. Please
-spread it around and help Bitcoin.

-Tor users are being treated as lower-class Internet citizens
-============================================================
-
-Ever noticed what Cloudflare is doing to us, Tor users? Each website
-that uses Cloudflare gives you a nice Google Recaptcha, where you are
-unwillingly helping google create pattern-recognition algorithms just so
-you can get through to the website you want to visit. If one wants to
-avoid the captcha, he would need to bypass his Tor proxy and
-deanonymize, killing the point of using Tor in the first place.
-What you can do to help Tor user abuse is to send DMCA and abuse
-complaints to website owners using Cloudflare in order for them to drop
-it. The point of this is that Cloudflare is basically restricting
-content access to anyone using Tor.

-Using [Dowse](http://dowse.eu), a [Dyne.org](https://www.dyne.org)

-Fixing the Internet for everyone
-================================
-
-The Internet is broken. You've seen all about WikiLeaks, all about Ed
-Snowden... Well, those things are the truth. Spying, manipulation and
-surveilance broke the Internet. Is there a way to fix it? Not overnight,
-but here are a few guidelines:
-
-* Install Tor software on EVERY router, complete unfiltered
-* Force EVERYONE to use PGP, no exception
-* Forbid non-free software in essential parts of using the
- Internet (Web browser, mail client...)
-* Build a company which is only there for pentesting. If something
- is found, they have to call/mail the website owner and inform
- them
-* Build a company which is completely transparent. The only thing
- they do is build network hardware. Everyone has the right to look
- into their files/production processes to verify there are no
- backdoors in the hardware
-* Same for computer manufacturers
-* ISPs are forbidden to give "middle traffic speed", but they have
- to give you a minimum traffic speed every time

-systemd sucks
-=============
-
-The wonderful shills have ensured that Linux Mint's been talked about as
-attempt to entrap exodus newbies running from Windows into settling for
-another false sense of safety, privacy and security. These excellent shills
-are pretending to settle for, and install freedom-disrespecting,
-proprietary Linux Mint, as well as recommending it in every thread to trick
-people desparate to switch their OS away from Windows.
-
-*"I'll just use Mint/Ubuntu because it's my only option..."*
-
-It's a cheap and common "lemmings over a cliff" style disinformation
-tactic used to win over people's helpless foolish minds. And it works
-surprisingly well... I presume most of you, if not everyone, are aware
-of systemd, right? It has been made quite sure that the stupid general
-public believes it's just another pointless thing whiners complain about
-needlessly. But in reality, systemd affects all Linux users!
-
-How cool is that? systemd is an infectious, insidious and diseased
-bloated blop plague of systemically parasitic, hypocritical,
-self-contradictory, purpose-defeating, pretentious, freedom-betraying
-software that its creators daringly pulled off as an init-system!
-systemd takes away from its users the freedom of choice and severely
-limits the control users have over their own computer. systemd is so
-restrictive and authoritarian to the point that it more than
-figuratively rapes your whole operating system.
-
-**Workflow time!**
-
-* User makes the choice to remove systemd and use a different init
- system
-* Countless packages and programs that existed long before systemd
- and never required systemd to function are now somehow all tangled
- in an evil, sticky and obnoxious web of unnecessary forced
- artificial false dependencies interconnecting through the entire
- operating system
-* Any attempts to regain control rips out half of the OS along
- with everything useful
-* OS is now a dead husk
-
-**SysTemD is an STD. Excellently evil...**
-
-Finally, as the plan comes together, we have Microsoft releasing its
-own Linux OS, as if enough people didn't find them overwhelmingly
-abhorrent enough, to the point that massive groups of people (who didn't
-participate in any surveys or statistic gatherings) became refugees and
-migrated to other videogame consoles..

-* [MS Linux](http://mslinux.org/)
-* [Ubuntu Conspiracy](http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/ubuntu-conspiracy)
-* [Canonical-Microsoft Buyout](http://itsfoss.com/canonical-microsoft-buyout/)
-
-Conclusions:
-
-* Microsoft "created" its own Linux
-* Microsoft chose Ubuntu for the deploymeent of their service HDInsight
-* Microsoft also works with Canonical on LXD (a Linux container project)
-
-... which brings me to my final point:
-
-**Windows, Mint and systemd are all connected**
-
-How would anyone ever guessed this ingeniously designed plot!? You
-are all drooling fools!
-
-I will make it easy for a stupid "person" to understand:
-
-* Windows 10 released
-* Ignorant uninformed people keep using it, even though it steals
- your WiFi and social networking passwords
-* Linux Mint and Ubuntu shills pop up and fool a percentage of
- them promising ease of use
-* Meanwhile other shills scare them away from Linux entirely by
- throwing noobs right into the grinder: *"Install Gentoo! Install
- Arch! Install Slackware! etc..."*
-* Meanwhile yet again, systemd spreads through Linux like a
- virulent plague, infecting and un-freedoming multiple Linux distros,
- forcing users to run around trying to remove it or find another
- distro with no systemd... So I welcome you all to the NSA/Prism
- hotel where there is a Mint under every pillow and a pervert voyeur
- looking through your Windows
-
-Another thing to note is that systemd is four-hundred-twenty-five-THOUSAND
-lines of code for just an init system. systemd is a plot to Windows-ize
-Linux and ruin it for everyone who loves freedom. systemd is being
-shoved down everyone's throats. systemd is massive for an init system.
-systemd is bloat. systemd is a Linux kernel coup attempt. systemd tries
-to incorporate way too much. Many previously isolated components are all
-carelessly blobbed together - which not only widens the angle of attack,
-but also makes the system a whole lot less reliable, because
-one small error makes the whole system go down HARD.
-
-systemd is being pushed by obviously malicious people. Consider the
-following: The reason developers have decided to depend on systemd is
-stated to be that it solves problems with device management, for
-example. However, several tens of thousands of people have worked for
-decades without addressing or even mentioning the existence of such a
-problem. If the problem existed, it would've been mentioned. If the
-problem existed, people would have worked on it. Mentioning a problem
-costs literally nothing, and would have beeneffectively mandatory in dev
-mailing lists and IRCs, e.g. when discussing a specific implementation,
-interface, or approach taken or to be taken by a project. The
-systemd-backing people almost exclusively use emotion-based arguments to
-support systemd: *"The only other option was sysvinit! If you don't like
-systemd, you're a sysvinit fanatic! The only people who oppose us are
-the men in the Linux community that have a deep hatred for women!"*
-
-The project is strongly endorsed by various feminist groups that have
-nothing to do with technology. The system is headed by a developer
-reputed for making low-quality software. If literally any other piece of
-software had the kind of bugs described in the various systemd issue
-trackers, they wouldn't even be accepted in distro repos, yet systemd
-has been widely adopted in a matter of months, breaking compatibility
-and not offering upgrade paths even on the likes of strong server
-operating systems like Debian or CentOS. SELinux (an NSA project)
-developers are strongly for systemd, nevermind the numerous bugs and
-undoubtedly numerous security vulnerabilities. Speaking of, there has
-been NO audit of systemd even though everyone is accepting systemd no
-matter how security-sensitive the distro is meant to be. It's pretty
-evident that something is really wrong with systemd's adoption.
-Basically the bastards who want to enslave the world decided that the
-best way to control opensource is to create their own and promote it
-until it's the standard even though it shouldn't be.
-
-New people would fall for it and the more knowledgeable are facing a
-lack of support for their alternatives. The project to create an
-all-encompassing system that can easily be infiltrated by, at will to
-provide root access, and spy on arbitrary non-backdoored systemd is
-being funded by, and is being promoted by the global elite across the
-entire community. It's clear that the adoption of systemd is not normal
-and there's something hiding behind it. Nobody has ever been specific
-about what kind of problem systemd solves, nobody has ever even
-mentioned having a problem before systemd appeared, and suddenly it
-spreads like wildfire.
-
-systemd's design is flawed intentionally to increase the attack
-vector and make it vulnerable to outside attackers to break it more easily.
-There is a reason why systemd is pushed by Redhat, an American company
-with very close ties to the NSA. Redhat controls Fedora, so Fedora
-adopted it first, then RHEL, and because Redhat funds most of Debian,
-they also caved in. Basically all of the major distros are controlled by
-Redhat one way or another. Everyone hates Gnome, yet it's still here.
-Why you ask? It is Redhat. Redhat wants full control of Linux. Anyone
-who opposes systemd is in the way of them controlling Linux. They will
-do whatever they can to make sure that Gentoo, Slackware, Void and
-Alpine have the worst time possible by not solely supporting systemd.
-After Redhat fully takes control with systemd, there is no need for
-different distros, because they will basically be the same, but with a
-different logo, maybe a different package manager.

-On Tails 2.0 and systemd
-========================
-
-I grinned when I read the news post that Tails, the mainstream
-privacy and anonymity distro, announced that they're switching their
-init system to systemd and the base distro to Debian Jessie. Way to go
-Tails! In my honest opinion, this was ABSOLUTELY unnecessary and only
-shows you how much systemd is affecting our daily lives. Tails turned to
-shit. Unless Tails switches to Devuan when Devuan is ready, Tails will
-stay shit. Luckily there are alternatives for now, and they are good. A
-distro like [Freepto](http://www.freepto.mx) is a great example.
