bobbyd3 | 5 years ago | on: Obscurix – Arch Linux-based OS configured for privacy, security and anonymity
I understand the use cases for certain Linux distribution spinoffs that can eliminate complexity but it also breaks my heart when they use an ultra customizable distribution like Arch Linux.
Typically, I will [1] customize my own installation media to do or contain whatever software or configurations I need without a third-party making assumptions for me. This is quite possibly what I like most about Arch Linux. I know what is going on under the hood because I set it up. I'm likely not a typical user for most spinoffs. I use Arch Linux, FreeBSD, Gentoo, RHEL, Debian, SLES, and Ubuntu for different use cases as required.

*EDIT: Forgot and added a couple distros that I actively use (wish I could consolidate to one. Maybe one day)

I love the Mossberg 500 as well. I also prefer the location of the safety on the 500 (tang)

I even think the more "expensive" 870 models are very reasonably priced for everything you get...

Hard to go wrong with a classic like the 870 though... only a few good options at that price point that are easy to find.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. It definitely helps to fill my knowledge gaps due to limited travel outside the US.

For instance... do you need a government issued ID to get a SIM card for a cell phone?

How did they get your information for the daily call? Just curious. Is everyone required to submit contact information? Or did they already have the required contact info for daily health checkups?

"The complexity of modern federal criminal law, codified in several thousand sections of the United States Code and the virtually infinite variety of factual circumstances that might trigger an investigation into a possible violation of the law, make it difficult for anyone to know, in advance, just when a particular set of statements might later appear (to a prosecutor) to be relevant to some such investigation." - Supreme Court Justice Breyer
"What’s often overlooked, however, is that these legal victories would probably not have been possible without the ability to break the law." - Moxie Marlinspike
