This is not spam, however this is against riseup's rules.

Riseup users are not supposed to invite people they don't know personally.

If it is only secure e-mail you need, and you are in an emergency, then
I'd recommend protonmail. For less secure needs, I'd recommend openmailbox.

Re: [qubes-users] R3.2 rc2 blank screen - screenlock issue?

2016-08-31 Thread Desobediente Civil
I use KDE (XFCE is installed but never used) and I don't have the option
of using the keyboard. The num/caps/scroll lock lights won't change and
the keyboard doesn't seem to respond.

As I stated, the processes seem to be running, if there's a music
player, I can still hear it.

Will check SETUP settings (a.k.a. BIOS/UEFI)

Not weird at all, could be just the lag between the red flag raising for
a given account (yours) and someone manually deciding to block your
account "for security reasons" - read that as: "we crap our pants when
we see tor, and we rather block your legitimate attempt to login to risk
accepting a real world account hijacking".

I am too paranoid for using tails other than the reccomended method (two
usb drives updating each other - I have two pairs of three).

I just use Whonix within Qubes and I like it. I'm glad it comes out of
the box since 3.1

Also, I would never use tor for banking, unless the banking wouldn't
involve my real world name - understand that one how you want.

Well, (s)he has changed all its passwords. Tricking someone into
changing all passwords has been done before.

My guess is that Paypal is giving you a hard time just because of the
tor exits you use to interact with their website.

So it seems to me all that you are saying is really related to using tor
via sys-whonix or manually trough the traditional means.

The sigaint episode is easily explained through the e-mail you provided.

But yes, the Paranoia is our shepherd and nothing shall lack. Paranoia
is what justifies the development of a operational system of this
nature, it shall never die.
