bios/aes_vt
i have an option in my new pc/bios : vt virtualization does it help the pc to work 'better' or is it used only when i run a vm ? i have an option in my new pc/bios : aes does it help the pc to work 'better' or is it used only when i run the disk encryption feature ? - are these feature related at the network (vpn/https/tor e.g.) ? - should it not be better secured with both uncheck ? it is a lot of question, i know , but the documentation is so unclear/bizarre ... - are these 'option' considered as dependencies of a cpu or as special functions independent of the pc (controlled by the ime ? ) ? i do not understand , sorry for my lack of intelligence , if someone could bring a bit of light in this grey zone i should be less perplex. (happy new year ! )
happy new year 2018

lumina/mono
I read that "gnome-desktop-environment" does NOT include Tomboy (or mono), "gnome" however does (at the installation step do not choose one) so i wonder if lumina should not be a better choice. It is a bsd desktop which does not depends on/runs mono. does it work well with debian ? thx.
processor_unfixable security flaws
processor_unfixable security flaws I cannot answer these questions myself: - are "melton" & "spectre" related at the ime hidden features (linustorwald said it is not a bug but a function not yet discovered/exploited | 40 flaws) ? * Replacing the cpu should solve these 'bugs'. - does it mean that Intel is incompetent & sell low quality at a high price ? Their industry is supported by their commercial monopoly but when a product is defectuous , it should be replaced/repaired without charge/gratis no ? On their site, a microcode (firmware update) is provided for linux. I understand these bugs like a bad conception of the cpu and not like an operating system weakness so why the guys behind are still recruited by intel and why they wait that 'someone else' do their job ? Is it not a bizarre management of an international company ? It sounds that building a closed product means that the holes/bugs/flaws/vulnerabilities were implemented according on a plan,following orders at a high level as a requirement for/at the creation/benefit of intel. ryzen (amd) should be compromised too. Should gpu & 5g not be it ? A remedy from google is like an article from a blog (which tor) where propaganda & censure are the vectors of the sponsors : corruption. Could these undefinable security flaws change the politic/policy of a company building a clean, open, neat processor in a near future - assuming they do know how to do that ... fake reputation - ? (i mean near of the home/end-user without ime etc.) thx.
setting gpg keyserver & source-list in 443-https
how-to setting gpg keyserver & source-list in 443-https - gpg (2.1.18) was installed by default without .conf & .dirmngr i followed this how-to but it does not work. https://sks-keyservers.net/overview-of-pools.php hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net This is a pool containing only servers available using hkps. - the sources-list (stable 9.3) was installed by default without https. installing apt-transport-http should solve it. https://packages.debian.org/stretch/apt-transport-https If you specify https:// URLs in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*, then APT will use HTTPS. but it does not work ... gpg is still set in hkp & the sources-list are downloaded in http. do you know an updated how-to or the reason why it does not work using 443/https ?
[HS]_deloptes_(was https etc.)
[HS]_deloptes_ From: deloptes debian-user@lists.debian.org the subject is how to set up in https gpg & the source-list : it works of course but not in 443. it is not safe in http because the port:80 must be opened ; using https i could close it ;) So, it is a trick for closing the port:80 (i do not need it, i always download & surf on https:443). i open a new topic because you have a gmail adress. * i do not answer to gmail/yahoo/gmx user. (it should be prohibited but you could answer that it suits you & it is safe to use of course & i should answer that you are heavily wrong) sorry for this new [HS]topic (anyway i have no response and i do not understand why my settings are not accepted : it does not run in 443 _ i installed 9.3 few days ago_ and i do not understand what is wrong in my settings/install). Unsolved.
