You're not seriously quoting the NSA? Of all the people in the world to say "we can't catch people who use TOR" the NSA has got to be top of the list of 'Least Likely to be Telling the Truth'. The NSA helped to develop TOR! TOR is a trap. It's already been shown that some of the routers are i

I'm getting a strong sense of deja vu here; that comment reminds me of this recent comment thread on Diaspora: https://nerdpol.ch/posts/1075808 tl;dr: a guy was claiming that Tor is completely useless because the NSA could easily get past it, somehow. Turned out he was talking about your c

I'm late on this one. Anyway.. Why would anyone use Tor this way. It seems to me very silly especially if the reason behind usin Tor is something important that requires true anonimity. Disable the feature completely in abrowser/icecat and if you need Tor than use Tails. Anyhow personally I

Those both chown commands you mention should work and are the same. It is normal with many commands if there is no error you get no output. You can use the ls -l /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness command before and after the chown command to see the file change owner and group.

If you actually managed to get 8.2 then it should be fine. I may not have investigated suppliers in Europe as thoroughly as I thought, but I usually am very thorough. There weren't any sources in the US I could locate with the 8.2 version in the past month or so. At least not in any significa
