You have to make your first payment via credit card so it's not anonymous unfortunately. joepie91 maintains a list, but it looks like it's a couple of years out of date: http://cryto.net/~joepie91/bitcoinvps.h

People mine on systems that they do not own. Try leaving SSH open with weak credentials, or use any software with a recently disclosed RCE. It won't be long until somebody drops a Monero miner.

Distributions exist to provide software that all fits and works together (e.g. providing the correct versions of dependencies). Sometimes patching is necessary to make things work.

What do you suggest we use to replace DNS?

I came here to comment the same thing. Cloudflare is too big.

>All browsers have a default search engine and start page... it's expected. Maybe on the first launch you could get a wizard allowing you to pick your search engines, or to have none at all.

>Cloudflare claims that they don't keep logs Emphasis on 'claims', sadly we have no way of verifying that they don't actually keep logs.

A TechCrunch article[0] suggests that all of this information was just scraped from the Instagram site/API, so is it fair to call this "sensitive" data if it's available to the public anyway? [0]: https://tech
