      It becomes a question of what is important: "enough" anonymity or functionality. Personal choice.

        Yep. Which is why I typically have a single browser configured to use it instead of whole systems or networks.

          Just spin up a cheap VM and use a dynamic SSH tunnel. Then destroy the VM when you're done.

            Automate that with Ansible and you can have a system of rapidly moving VPN servers on top of everything else! Add a CloudFlare script and you can automate it to set up and destroy and configure DNS every day automatically if you want for a truly difficult to track system. Add Terraform and you could have it randomly pick a different datacenter every day!

              Write up a guide, would you 🙂 Don't skip any steps in between.

                One of the reasons why I went with Qubes was for privacy. Spin up a disposable VM script, do what needs to be done, and then close it to shutdown the vm and all of the evidence is gone.

                  You are mixing use cases which makes it a little hard. Qubes has one purpose, running a lab is another.

                  But why not just use KVM, spin up a VM and revert it when done? Same privacy.

                      You're right there. My original intent was to use it to learn CentOS and other linux server distros. I assumed that, since Qubes was built from Xen, that it should adaquetly support CentOS, but was wrong on that point. However, I have been liking it for a daily Linux driver for its built-in fail safes.

                        You assume that CF tracks historical DNS. Likely they do not. Would make no sense.

                              I truly hope this happens, and the resulting histories are made public. Then we are one step closer to stringing the offending politricksters up by their short n curlies.

                                    Well surprised on two things, one only republicans are listed. Cause I'm sure there was a dem that took some money, and two that none of the dems are listed.

                                    Which is a bit insane.

                                        Right but this was voted on a partisan divide. These were the people (and the donations they received) that voted in favour. I'm sure Dems also received money from ISPs... but their vote was probably a bit more expensive.

                                          If dems had the majority, this bill would probably have not come up for a vote. This is what you get when you vote republican, bunch of old farts that can hardly turn on the computer making decisions that defy all logic and benefit corporate overlords.
                                          Btw, the votes were along the party lines on this 50:48.
