It's important that a nonzero percentage of the TOR network be used for innocuous purposes (such as leaving 💩post replies to YT comments) or else legal defenses against evidence of TOR usage boil down to, "But you can't prove _which_ crime I committed."

Is there any way for him to acces the school network, or is he genuinely screwed?
@@kittenfrompicture Well, most of the Tails tutorials spend 50% of their time on "how to download ISO and copy it to USB". I actually made a vid on Tails myself on my channel 2 days ago ;)
When I ran my TH-cam channel for teaching people how to do things in Photoshop or After Effects, there was literally no fluff, and 90% of videos were 4 minutes or shorter. No requests for comments, likes, subscribes, etc. Just the information I wanted to teach and that's it. And people absolutely loved the channel. I went from 1 sub to 100k in about 3 weeks just because of the short form videos, and I was still making good money on it. I didn't care about ads or anything. More short form content! Love it.
Fun fact, while using Tails you can pull the USB from the computer and the computer will automatically start the shutdown/clear ram process, meaning you can put the drive on a lanyard and just yank if you don't have the time to click through to the shutdown button
I did that once as a test. It goes into tty mode and quickly outputs a lot of things and then just gets stuck at one point. It was long ago tho. Things might have changed

Tails saved my ass when my HDD failed to boot, but when booting from tails I could make a backup to another drive because he could access all my windows partitions as well also there is a lot of cool tools on tails that are fun to play with 11/10

Nice thing about Tails is that the FBI knows it's the secure OS of choice, and thus the OS they track and try exploit the most. They've caught some pretty serious criminals using exploits in Tails... which the Tails community then patches out the moment they notice. Vicious cycle.
@@mathealgou I remember reading somewhere that the FBI makes the tor network (which is the core of tails) for some kind of high security use of the internet If that is true, FBI is not only a contributor to the project, the FBI itself is the reason why tails existed

@@ra2enjoyer708 No but because it has more features, it is possible to do more with it. One of the big ones is Called Intel ME. Basically there is a tiny os living inside of an intel CPU that has the ultimate power to do anything to your comuter, which definitely could be used by the NSA. I even used ME myself so I could flash a driver to my UEFI system so my computer could boot from a PCIe NVME card.

Cold boot attacks, where the memory is frozen and then extracted are actually very uncommon for "normal" PCs, as the memory is getting worse basically every second after shutdown.

(Also cold boot has nothing to do with the temperature of the RAM; cooling it is common, but that is entirely incidental and not related to the name) Edit : (for reference DDR1-2 can last for hours or even weeks if cooled) properly)
@@chri-k compared to what? In reality, this technique is basically never used on consumer hardware, because it's very hard to pull off and there is very small chance to succeed.
@@felixjohnson3874 this may be the case under lab conditions, but in reality, the chance for success is very low in a standard consumer Notebook or PC. What I meant with running servers is that they often visit datacenters connect directly to the servers, take away power and take the cooled memory to a lab. This would also qualify as a cold boot attack.
true, cold boot attacks are less common for regular PCs due to the degradation of memory over time. However, they can be more relevant for server systems or situations where encryption keys need to be extracted from running systems. It's always important to consider security measures based on the specific context and requirements.
Came to see what’s going on and why you have stopped posting videos. Found out about your mom’s death. Im very sorry about it may god rest her soul. Im sure she was proud if you.
If there was a separate, proprietary CPU that you have absolutely no control over inside your CPU that would for sure ruin any privacy you get from Tails. But something like that would never exist, right?
Due to costs probably not in consumer devices. If a government agency or multi billion dollar company was annoyed by you, better take a closer look at your hardware :)
I never do comments, but I wanted to say we love you Jeff and your absence has certainly not gone unnoticed. And I miss code reports and 100 seconds videos more than anything.

Edit : (for reference DDR1-2 can last for hours or even weeks if cooled) properly)
@@chri-k compared to what? In reality, this technique is basically never used on consumer hardware, because it's very hard to pull off and there is very small chance to succeed.
@@felixjohnson3874 this may be the case under lab conditions, but in reality, the chance for success is very low in a standard consumer Notebook or PC. What I meant with running servers is that they often visit datacenters connect directly to the servers, take away power and take the cooled memory to a lab. This would also qualify as a cold boot attack.
true, cold boot attacks are less common for regular PCs due to the degradation of memory over time. However, they can be more relevant for server systems or situations where encryption keys need to be extracted from running systems. It's always important to consider security measures based on the specific context and requirements.
Jeff you are literally my hero, Im deeply sorry for your loss.Take your time heal , we will be waiting for you
Where r u man ? Why no new videos ?
I hope everything is alright.❤
His mom died
jeff we miss you, but take your time, just know we'll be there whenever you come back
Someone told someone fireship told us about this, now he is gone
2 minutes and 40 seconds = 120 + 40 = 160 seconds. So you should change the title to 160 seconds. BTW cool and informative video. Thanks a lot.
sure do i love doing basic mundane and totally legit stuff using TailOS operating system
Gary Webb died of an apparent suicide with "two" bullets to his head. So disturbing on so many levels.
Came to see what’s going on and why you have stopped posting videos. Found out about your mom’s death. Im very sorry about it may god rest her soul. Im sure she was proud if you.
Hey Man! Hope you're doing alright. You inspire us and we appreciate you!
I'm still waiting for VBA in 100 seconds that you promised
What about VBS?
@@eadwacer524 VBZ ?
@@abduselamkoc5781 VBA = Visual Basic Applications (Microsoft Office VB)
VBS = Visual Basic Script (IE Browser script and IIS backend)
VBZ never heard of that.
I thought he only did languages people would actually want to use.
@@chris-hayes Isn't VBA massively used by boring Excell 9-to-5ers ?
We miss you a lot ❤, daily checking your channels in case I missed your notification.
If there was a separate, proprietary CPU that you have absolutely no control over inside your CPU that would for sure ruin any privacy you get from Tails. But something like that would never exist, right?
Due to costs probably not in consumer devices. If a government agency or multi billion dollar company was annoyed by you, better take a closer look at your hardware :)
@@skorp5677quite sure both Intel and AMD CPUs have a closed source black box attached.
Even if there is a hidden core, what would it do? Without an OS/drivers supporting it, it won't be able to talk to your network adapter

@@fish3977 And do you have evidence for this accusation or is it just speculation?
Love this series! Have you considered doing one on LaTeX?
I just wrote random letters on the URL and landed here, unlocking knowledge, I am in no way related to the usage of this OS on my PC
Tail, Kali Linux, Arch Linux and and parot os are my favorite
I miss the code reports
I never do comments, but I wanted to say we love you Jeff and your absence has certainly not gone unnoticed. And I miss code reports and 100 seconds videos more than anything.
we wish you the best
Sorry for your loss even though I have no knowledge of software engineering i really like your videos and wait for them. Please make time for yourself you need it.
I was thinking that somehow I got unsubscribed to the channel because I didn't receive any news from the channel.
Dude we miss you.
May lord give you patience buddy!
Love your videos
can you talk about this recent Unity runtime fee controversy?
oh, Unity and their runtime fee drama, what a mess. They revised their plans, exempting Unity Personal users and offering an alternative revenue share for Pro and Enterprise devs. But trust issues and concerns remain. Unity needs to step up and address the fallout from this controversy. It's a wait-and-see situation.
