   That would only be relevant if you instructed people to use it instead of instructing them to use weak crypto.

   Those are the only installation instructions for linux. Plus, it doesn't really matter that they're "alternate" if they're bad and PIA knows it (there have been multiple complaints about this on the PIA forum.)

   The instructions in the link I gave very clearly result in a certificate using 1024-bit RSA. Anyone can download the installer or openvpn.zip from there and check for themselves. % wget https://www.privateinternetaccess.com&#

   My indifference is not cultivated. It comes from a native disdain of authoritarianism and tribalism. Not sure why it would be desirable to make small talk with people about uninteresting things. I do enjoy some heavy metal, though.

   I've read some of your guides, and I don't really understand what the chained anonymity is getting you. Could you give some examples where complex chains are useful? I can see limited circumstances where VPN/proxy->Tor, T

    I would say the talk itself is a triumph of style over substance.

    It's certainly being used as a pretext to lock down legal control of independent computation. The proposed updates to the CFAA and Obama's siding with Cameron on the intolerability of government-opaque communications have more cr

    Searching all directions with your awareness, you find no one dearer than yourself. In the same way, others are thickly dear to themselves. So you shouldn't hurt others if you love yourself. http://ww

    Typical for the NYT to bury the strong countervailing evidence against the official war-mongering story in a couple of paragraphs 2/3rds of the way through the article. Still, the sophistication of the Sony hack was such that many

    In the context of the University hierarchy, that is lowly status. There is absolutely no power associated with the position.

    A good history of the CIA is Legacy of Ashes . TL;DR: Dulles was a tragic incompetent with a talent for self-promotion who played a crucial role in organizing the CIA so that it could not learn from its mistakes. http://www.ama

    The word to search for is COINTELPRO. Tim Weiner's Enemies: A History of the FBI goes into some detail about it, and its notes probably provide pointers to the relevant documents.
