Maybe it's just me, but I don't think it seems appropriate for a TU to respond like that to a member of the community. It's certainly doesn't make for a welcoming atmosphere. Even though Arch is not for everyone, there's no need to actively drive people away by being rude. I also don't think

I think the fact that it's not possible to be perfectly safe is not a good reason to not earnestly consider what you _can_ do to try to protect yourself. Of course you won't stand a chance if a nation-state is determined to get you, but that doesn't mean you should just give up and wing it,

Some ballpark numbers, rounded to one significant figure: 10 characters chosen truly randomly from an alphabet of 70 characters (e.g., [a-zA-Z0-9#$&_() =+/%]) is ~61 bits of entropy and will take just about 90 years to brute-force at 1e9 guesses per second, or 30 days at 1e12/s. The Bitcoin

That was excessive, Ralf. Arch may be a DIY distro, but that doesn't mean we should humiliate and belittle people who don't already know everything about the system. Tim: I'm sorry you got that response. A "group" in pacman is an alias for a bunch of packages, you install it just as if the group

I've been very happy with i3wm since I started using it, but I suppose it probably doesn't qualify as a desktop environment. I like the flexible keyboard-driven layouting and vim-like keybindings, and dmenu gives random access to any application without the need for menus or the like. I don't like
