The problem with Facebook is not *just* the loss of your privacy and the fact that it can be used as a totalitarian panopticon. The more worrying issue, in my opinion, is its use of digital information consumption as a psychological control vector. Time for a thread

Found another off-by-one remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2018-6789) in Exim mail server! It was challenging but interesting and we finally achieve RCE and bypass mitigations (ASLR, NX …) successfully. Details here: devco.re/blog/2018/03/06/exi…

The only common denominator between Tails and Citadel is that they both have a Gnome desktop environment. Citadel is not a live disk, is not built from Debian (or any other distro), and does not have any Tor software installed.
