as someone who carries a live USB on my keyring for totally legit and mundane reasons, thanks.
In all seriousness, I do so because I might want to work on something but don't always want to drag the laptop with me.
Edit: it's also the same Debian I run daily.
@@Sasha-zw9ssI mean that's a legitimate reason 🤷
in complete, unmistakeable sincerity, in all seriousness, I too, have a live USB for which I use to do legitimate and completely LEGAL things
I do too, but I just have the USB with Ubuntu for simple Linux stuff
Having the stick on a keyring, is a unnecessary risk.
You most likely have other items attached on the ring that can tie you to the stick. You also can’t easily throw it away in case of emergency.
Thank god im schizotypical and not schizophrenic
i thought that said "schizotypal" and questioned how exactly you'd be in the clear from paranoia then, lmfao. schizotypical is hilarious
^I did too, it's a pretty clever joke.
Watching Mental Outlaw videos definitely increases your chance of being put on a list tbh 😅
Definitely avoid those yt documentaries about teddy cabininthewoodsky.......

Me and my edgy doe quirky doe boys always use shadowOS the superior distro
A genuine, aboveboard use for Tails is to store an airgapped master GPG key.
99% of the use of your keypair is mundane stuff like encryption and SSH auth. The remaining 1%, stuff like generating revocation certificates, signing new keys, etc. is extremely dangerous in the wrong hands: if an adversary gets this power, not only can he decrypt your past messages and impersonate you, he can generate a new key, sign it, and issue a new revocation cert---carring on all your previous correspondence with the new key, without you even able to see what he's doing.
So, people have thought: what if we separate the functionality, and only access the spooky stuff in a hyper-secure, airgapped (preferrably Faraday-caged), schizophrenic environment? This is exactly what people do, using the encrypted persistent filesystem of Tails to store a master key, from which mundane subkeys can be exported (offline, via a storage medium) to a less secure working environment. Tails goes to great lengths to ensure that data in memory doesn't persist after shutdown, which is exactly what you want here. I'm working with this setup, except with another LiveUSB distro since I trust the relatively-less-audited distro more than the Intel Management Engine.
nice pfp
What?
Truth in Security and privacy. I will be dead one day, collect the metadata, not worth my time or efforts. However more power to you, I get it!
Could you explain the last sentence in a little bit more detail?
What do distros or operating systems have to do with Intel ME? ME is a firmware thing, how does using a different distro/OS will secure it?
where was this video WHEN I COMMITED ALL THOSE CRIMES?!?!?
What crimes my brother? I've already freed you.
Downloaded Metallica songs from torrent?
Do you want to tell more about your crimes that you have commited? I'm not associated with the Federal Bureau of Investigation
@@strongleong3717I don't think torrents even existed back in the Napster days
where were all these crimes when i used tails os??
I am the exact opposite at this point. All the devices I own record all inputs from every sensor anyways for “UI experience” or something.
What a cool feature! That's totally necessary and convenient for protecting their customers! I wish i had that too...
I'll never forget watching the bodycam footage of one of two detectives unplugging the live USB on a system they were investigating, which was originally active. Part of me thinks that they knew exactly what they were doing lol.
Do you happen to have the link?
I am also curious about the link.
@@I_Love_Learning check above
Don't live environments copy to RAM while running? At least that's how they worked back in the live CD days. So unplugging wouldn't be an issue unless they also powered down?
do you have the link to this? you've got me interested lol
The FBI will stage a fight behind your back in the public library you are using TailsOS and then grab your laptop before you can turn it off.
Yeah, good luck to them bypassing the explosives I set up in my forest shack.
At least Ross show us what not to do
He did talk about that on I think it was the 2022 TOR Bible tutorial
People need to invent a remote kill switch that activates when you press together your ass cheeks 😂😂
That's why you use a WiFi amplifier while being stationed at a property close to public internet... 🤓👌🏻
The best way I've heard tailsOS described as a daily driver is it's like being a digitally homeless H-1B1
I USED TAILS WTF lmao Ahahahahah
Same
Also, ALWAYS use Bridged mode inside Tor Browser, this way your ISP won't know that you're connecting to the Onion services, since the Bridged mode is supposed to bypass any restrictions in countries where Tor is banned. Even if it's not banned inside your country, always use it.
thanks G
what does bridge do?
Bridge relays are Tor relays that are not listed in the public Tor directory.
That means that ISPs or governments trying to block access to the Tor network can't simply block all bridges. Bridges are useful for Tor users under oppressive regimes, and for people who want an extra layer of security because they're worried somebody will recognize that they are contacting a public Tor relay IP address.@@nettlex
without a bridge, your isp will know you connect to the tor network@@nettlex
unless those bridges are banned as well, in that case the only option is to join state aproved bridges which as we all know will totally be safe

@@platinumsun4632 Simply using a searching engine to look up Tails on the web apparently triggers the NSA XKeyscore system.
Source Wikipedia :
In 2014 Das Erste reported that the NSA's XKeyscore surveillance system sets threat definitions for people who search for Tails using a search engine or visit the Tails website. A comment in XKeyscore's source code calls Tails "a comsec mechanism advocated by extremists on extremist forums".[22][23]
In the same year, Der Spiegel published slides from an internal National Security Agency presentation dating to June 2012, in which the NSA deemed Tails on its own as a "major threat" to its mission and in conjunction with other privacy tools as "catastrophic".[24][25]
In 2017, the FBI used malicious code developed by Facebook, identifying sexual extortionist and Tails user Buster Hernandez through a zero-day vulnerability in the default video player. The exploit was never explained to or discovered by the Tails developers, but it is believed that the vulnerability was patched in a later release of Tails. Hernandez had eluded authorities for a long time; the FBI and Facebook had searched for him with no success, and resorted to developing the custom hacking tool.

Yoooo thanks for the tutorial! Surprised I got here this early lol. Since i know youll see this lemme just say appreciate the videos you put out! Using your platform to raise privacy awareness (and gawk at the transgressions against it) is truly a noble cause.
Good comment man
I'm convinced that world is going insane when "ultra paranoid" is the only mode/level with decent privacy online.
Well, the internet wasn't set up with privacy or redundancy in mind.
TOR is a fix for the former.
Mental outlaw finally dropping another tutorial is what we’ve all been waiting for.
Based on the videos you are making, you are definitely on the list bro!

using tails for like past 10 years, mostly for getting over protection on machines that are blocked or I lack admin priviledges, I simply boot up a tails form usb and I'm in, literally I used it to go over password windows 11. amazing OS.
you can do that with every live OS though. MX Linux is best for such scenarios. Coming with a lot off tools to manage and recover your system. You can even install the tools you need and create another live image out of it.
@@xCwieCHRISxtails is fastest. No bs just boots in
According to Wikipedia, even SEARCHING for TAILS puts you on a 3LA list.
So I assume we all are on a list for watching this.

Mor Tails and TOR videos. Keep them coming, Kenny.
Never used it, but love learning about these implementations that allow activists, journalists in other countries to communicate freely
Warning: don't forget about Intel ME. All computers are backdoored, so don't do anything turbo illegal on your own hardware
I see no other option but to create your own processor from scratch
@@geryz7549This truly seems like the only logical option.

1. ME isn't really a backdoor

That’s too much voodoo
I love videos titles on this channel that talk about "the ULTRA Paranoid". What's that famous saying, "Just because you're paranoids doesn't mean they aren't out to get you". Enough said.
All I'm saying is how you got my facial expressions??? Literally just was caught on the toilet and that was my exact face and pointing lol. I'm subbed on several channels because you taught me everything literally so thank you.
Few people on TH-cam know and actually teach and make videos about this. This guy is a GOAT fr.
Something I'd like to see in Tails is adding an option for the encrypted persistent storage is an easy ability to add a doomsday password alongside the encryption password so that if the wrong password is entered the LUKS headers will be destroyed also an option to destroy the data after a set amount of failed password attempts.
or even better, adding doomsday password, so when you enter it. Whole persistent storage is deleted.
Make your own version.
First thing glowies are gonna do after raiding you is clone your drives so your suggestion is pointless
@@richardlyman2961 if storage is deleted, what are they going to seize?

Thank you for this video, I did not know there are actually many servers with GPG keys! Clever!
You just made all kinds of lists with creating this Video 🎉.
Yes a tails video!!! Awesome
I recommend a micro sd card and mini reader. It is much smaller, easier to conceal/dispose/destroy. I recommend the cheap Chinese ones that are notorious for corrupting after a few months, you can get a 3 pack of 16gb for like $10. If you go this route, and use it as a daily driver, remove any storage media/hard drives from your laptop for extra peace of mind that once a card is out, the data is gone.
I'd love love love more of this.
Thank you for this upstanding video my upstanding citizen, we will pay a visit to you shortly. :)
Youre doing Gods work sir. Thank you
now we wait for the ultimate paranoid privacy matryoshka doll guide of quebes os -> tails os -> hiddenvm -> whonix
Only to realize you have a computer with Intel ME
evidently you have no idea what you are talking about.@@eco-terroristoverlord2033
There are lots of sensationalist rumors and very little substantive evidence about the use of IME or PSP for "spying". First of all, most of the vulnerabilities that have been found in these systems are not exploitable remotely. And the one known vulnerability that was only worked on machines that had remote management (AMT) enabled, which is typically not the case for retail computers. It also wouldn't work if the computer is unreachable from the Internet because it's behind a NAT router and/or firewall (which should always be the case if possible).
Second, the NSA can't do magic and transmit data through thin air. If they were spying and exfiltrating information via IME/PSP, you would be able to see the packet flow on your network using packet capture tools. Yet nobody has ever found anything like that to my knowledge.@@eco-terroristoverlord2033
Damn
Tutorial of new things is the best content ❤

Just a heads-up, if you're using tails and the tor browser for legitimate purposes only, make sure you don't change the window size or location of the tor browser, as that will help fingerprint you, as you will stick out if you stray from the defaults 🙂.
letterboxing is enabled by default which solves this problem
@@rqertip thank you, didn't know that. I don't follow the tor project any more, only did it for curiosity's sake in the past.

I use Tails to avoid downloading malware from darknet sites onto my actual OS when getting textbooks for school. If anyone has a better alternative drop a reply please. :3
There isn't.tails is the more than likely the most secure sandbox environment that can do what you need.
The next level would be getting a cheap HDD and then installing QubesOS on it to use whonix
Based
the likelihood of getting malware on linux is fairly low i would just use a virtual box vm on a linux machine for this tbh
There are surely safer sources for textbooks since I recall that sites get shared on social media often wherever college age people mingle, and all different kinds of ebooks come up on collections like r/ opendirectories. Dunno the specifics though since I dislike digital copies.
The reason there was no chat feature in onionshare is because the apt repository only goes up to onionshare 2.2, and the chat feature was added in 2.4 I think. Also, the current version of onionshare is 2.6. Unfortunately, the newest versions of onionshare are only available in flat pack, snap craft, or compiling from source (you can also find them in the aur and gentoo repositories but that’s not natively for tails). When in the configuration menu for tails, turn privileged account on, then you’ll be able to make the upgrade (or download other software you want.)

Getting an education must certainly rough for some folks. Glad to see folks motivated to learn meme history.
The great thing about torrents is that the magnet link contains the Merkle tree root hash, so you don't even need to verify the signature on the downloaded image (assuming you trust that your torrent client isn't compromised itself, you still want to verify that in general regardless of what you're downloading)
Real ultra paranoids don't even trust their calculator and verify with a pen and paper all calculating in their head and burn the paper afterwards.
@@xCwieCHRISxReal ultra paranoids know that a pen and paper is compromised. Everyone knows the glowies have had control over the visible world, projecting their holograms with these new 5G towers.

I’ve tried tails and it works great! Now I just need to switch to Linux fully but windows just works so much better for games.
You can always dual-boot and have one drive just for Windows and a separate drive for a different OS.
Steam on Linux allows for Proton compatibility and in my experience it works like a charm
You might be surprised how far Linux has closed that gap in just the past couple of years...especially it's compatibility with NVidia drivers now. I honestly pulled my hair out the past decade but we're just about there now. PoP_OS on laptops w/ hybrid graphics...Arch or Mint/Ubuntu on your home desktop!! 😮
Unpopular opinion: try playing less games. Improved my QoL quite a bit.
If you must, I recommend separate computers.
Yeah, linux users will try to convince you that Linux is as good as windows for gamers, it's not. Driver problems, compatibility problems, input lag problems, performance problems. I don't know if it's resignation, but at least now that I can't play on my pc because I'm trying Linux I have more time to do other things haha
I've done a set of operations via "Tails" and I can recommend it. It's fast,simple and it'a a low threshold for normies who are concerned with their online privacy.
