    >they can’t query anything on a specific user. What exactly do you mean by "user"? Can they query DNS traffic by IP address / subnet? Exactly what are all of the restrictions there…

    I'm not sure what posting this accomplishes, but it certainly was not intended to shame the developers, though I can see how it might be perceived that way. I am more than satisfie…

    It looks like dmidecode also contradicts itself with the hyper threading flag: $ sudo dmidecode -t processor | grep -E 'Flags:|HTT|Status|Count' Flags: HTT (Multi-threading) Status…

    Truth or not, I'm curious to know how the high probability that all content is curated doesn't bother you? I can't find one leak that's been damaging to Putin's agenda. That doesn'…
