Tails report for June 2020
by sajolida＠pimienta.org 13 Jul '20

13 Jul '20

Tails report for June, 2020 [1] RELEASES Tails 4.7 was released on June 2 [2]: * Make the installation of Additional Software more robust. (#17278 [3]) * Clarify the error message when entering an incorrect password to unlock a VeraCrypt volume: _Wrong passphrase or parameters_ instead of _Error unlocking volume_. (#17668 [4]) * Clean up confusing comments in /etc/tor/torrc. (#17706 [5]) Tails 4.8 was released on June 30 [6]: * We disabled the _Unsafe Browser_ by default and clarified that the _Unsafe Browser_ can be used to deanonymize you [7]. * We added a new feature of the Persistent Storage to save the settings from the Welcome Screen. This feature is beta and only the additional setting to enable the _Unsafe Browser_ is made persistent. The other settings (language, keyboard, and other additional settings) will be made persistent in Tails 4.9 (July 28). * Fix the _Find in page_ feature of _Thunderbird_. (#17328 [8]) * Fix shutting down automatically the laptop when resuming from suspend with the Tails USB stick removed. (#16787 [9]) * Notify always when MAC address spoofing [10] fails and the network interface is disabled. (#17779 [11]) * Fix the import of OpenPGP public keys in binary format (non armored) from the _Files_ browser. Tails 4.9 is scheduled for July 28 [12]. CODE * Adapted our test suite to our new homepage and to GitLab. (#17718 [13], #17719 [14]) * Upgraded to tor 0.4.3. (#17741 [15]) * Automated post-release GitLab updates with gitlab-triage [16]. (#17589 [17], !36 [18]) DOCUMENTATION AND WEBSITE * @syster added a favicon to our website. (!37 [19]) * Documented the letterboxing feature of _Tor Browser_ [20]. (#17227 [21]) * Interviewed 4 more candidates to the Technical Writer job offer [22]. * Added a shortcut on top of the cloning instructions [23] for people who are already in Tails. * Reported a bug upstream to Etcher [24] about Windows manipulating the system partition, leading to a failed verification. (#17634 [25]) HOT TOPICS ON OUR HELP DESK * A lot of people complained about having trouble starting Tails with [AMD/ATI] Renoir GPUs, but it seems that a kernel update fixed that problem in Tails 4.8 [26]. * Some MacBook users reported that Tails fails to boot with some recent MacBooks [27]. A workaround was proposed but people were then affected by their key combinations [28] or mouse and keyboard [29] not being supported by GRUB. * There were still a couple of users reporting having problems to import public PGP keys in Seahorse [30]. INFRASTRUCTURE * Decommissioned the system that used to host our Redmine. * Made it possible for core community members to propose changes to our GitLab configuration with a merge request. (#17753 [31]) FUNDING * Submitted a full proposal to the OTF Core Infrastructure Fund [32] to improve the user experience of connecting to Tor [33] and using Tails to circumvent censorship. OUTREACH Published leaflets and their source on the website: * tails-leaflet-english.pdf [34] * tails-leaflet-french.pdf [35] * tails-leaflet-italian.pdf [36] * tails-leaflet-portuguese.pdf [37] * tails-leaflet-spanish.pdf [38] PAST EVENTS * El Barracon Digital from El Progreso, Honduras, organized an international online webinar on Tails: Privacidad y Anonimato Con Tails [39].

#MoreOnionsPorfavor: Onionize your website and take back the internet!
by gus 08 Jul '20

08 Jul '20

Hi, Starting today, July 8th, the Tor Project is running a one month campaign called #MoreOnionsPorfavor to raise awareness about onion sites, that is, websites available over onion services. We recently released a feature called Onion-Location in Tor Browser that announces to users if a website has an onion site available. Join us to make a more secure web! To participate, enable Onion-Location, share your onion site using the hashtag #MoreOnionsPorFavor on your favorite social media, and we'll select some onion service operators to receive a Tor swag. Read our blog post for all the details: https://blog.torproject.org/more-onions-porfavor cheers, Gus -- The Tor Project Community Team Lead http://expyuzz4wqqyqhjn.onion/
