Re: [qubes-users] Feature request: "HDD Airbag" analog
i see. well, at least helping info on how one can implement this. the idea is not only to have one device for multiple tasks. large SSDs are still not so affordable. regarding practical scenarios for things like 2x2 TB HDDs: local Wikipedia dump. or/and huge Squid cache. imo, it is better to use local storage than online, even if TOR is used. local KBs like Wikipedia means almost 100% no one can trace what user researching and for how long, assuming HW and system has no backdoors to net ofrourse. low security settings of many TOR nodes turning TOR usage into a joke, not mention other known attacks. i recall news article about 3 or more governments pursuing readers of wikileaks. imo its impossible for observer to determine which articles person is reading and when (on airgaped PC), by only having fact of person's monthly wikipedia dump downloads (few hundred of gigabytes in compressed state). by observer right now i mean nonhuman software observers, active 24/7/366, having access to ISP traffic and possibly to target KB server via backdoors. of course this is more like anonymity than security matter.
