Ubuntu :: Maintain The Privacy Of The Original Sender?
May 20, 2010I can not find a way of removing original email addresses from a email I wish to forward so I can maintain the privacy of the original sender.

View 3 RepliesI remember that one complaint about XP was the way that when you used Firefox or IE index.dat files were created which were violations of privacy.
If, after browsing, one deletes the relevant firefox files are there any other locations or logs in Ubuntu that record details or times of browsing?
Currently these files seem to contain browsing history:
I have looked in the /var/log directory and cannot see anything but perhaps other people know?
I just want to know if and where browsing activity is located (apart from in the /user/.mozilla directory).
I just put privacy remix on a usb drive. It seems to be working ok, but no internet.
I'm connecting to the router with an ethernet cable and it works ok in windows.
I can't find anything in the setup guide that says you have to do anything special to connect.
I have two Ubuntu PCs at home and I found out about apt-cacher as a means of reducing internet usage for updates. (my connection speeds aren't that good). When I install apt-cacher, is it possible for anyone on the internet to use my PC as a repository? If so, how can I allow only computers on my LAN to access the apt-cacher cache?

~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default/cookies.sqlite ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default/formhistory.sqlite ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default/downloads.sqlite ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default/places.sqlite ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default/places.sqlite-journal
~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default/Cache/
Therefore I have cleared these files using an erasing program. I am wondering if there are other locations where such log files are stored for Internet browsing. I have looked in the /var/log directory and cannot see anything - for example doing a grep on http:// after browsing in Firefox does not reveal anything obvious.
I have LTS 10.04 with firefox 3.63 and the cookie settings are not there. Does anyone else have missing privacy settings. I dont like the idea of tracking cookies and want to do what I can to get rid of them.

Are there security and privacy benefits to p2p? How are addresses handled, like say you want to send a message to a specific friend but you don't have the relatively static IP system in the Internet. How are those things handled?

When I give no password and escape that dialog, I can see all the mails that have been already downloaded form my gmail account. If any of you guys know already existing post, please redirect me to that one.
Firefox used to work fine, then I played around (only) with privacy settings, and now it deletes all cookies (including ones set to expire in a month) at the end of the session.It is set to "remember history". Moving to a new profile is not an option.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI stumbled across this privacy app today, it's sort of like a CCleaner for Linux. I only see one mention of it in the forums, and I'm wondering why nobody's using it. It seems to be pretty thorough and preforms as they advertise, the site says it has overwrite capability but I'm not sure what algorithm it's using, as I haven't looked at the code. Anyway seems like something that ought to be in the repos.[URL]...

I am living in Australia, I am wanting to keep the bastards (read: Australian Government) ignorant about what I use my PC for.

Just for the fun and learning experience I am working on a minimal install with Squeeze +IceWM. The goal is to make a livecd with a set of privacy apps - like Iceweasel with Tor/privoxy and some encryption tools. Everything is working out just fine, but I thought it would be very nice to have an installer. I read about the refractainstaller and refractasnapshot in this post, and thought they sound like a good solution: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=54635#p315738 However, the links seem to be dead and so were all the mirrors I tried. Does anyone know where these files can be found or any other easy way I can make Debian installable from a livecd?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWill it be possible to maintain multiple sessions from Ubuntu?Actually we are working on one open source application and we have setup this application on one of our Ubuntu machine and this would act as a server for other developer's windows machine. Is any utility available(preferable open source) using which we will be able to access the Ubuntu server from all 4-5 developer's Windows machines?
Our requirement will be to access the whole system including console and GUI (same like remotely access) by using different sessions so that all 4-5 developers can start work together on the same Ubuntu machine.
I am building an application that would need to store data in many different folders (say, 5,000,000 folders). Obviously that is a big number of folders.
My project is flexible in terms of how to outline the folders (meaning, some folders can be sub-folders of others etc).
Given the Ubuntu file system, is there a rule-of-thumb on how many sub-folders should be in a folder? how many files should be in a folder? (I am asking strictly from a performance point of view).
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Intel X25-M PostVille 160 Go SSD drive with ext4. How can I tell if there's something wrong ? What should/can I do to maintain its performance/health ? Should I use TRIM, is Linux recent support for TRIM reliable ?
This may look as a duplicate of this question, but I am more asking in term of good practices and learning how to use this new technology the right way...
After reading this announcement, I don't understand if Xubuntu 10.04, or others ubuntu 10.04 variants, will be also LTS. What I understand is that :
- Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome) Desktop Edition is a LTS.
- Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition is a LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition is NOT a LTS
- Kubuntu 10.04 seems to be a LTS
- Xubuntu 10.04
- Mythbuntu 10.04
- Ubuntu Studio 10.04
Obviously, I can't understand how some variant could be LTS and not some others : they are all using the same repositories. So, Canonical would maintain updates for only selected packages ?Does anyone knows more about that LTS attribution ?
I have a large number of video files on a couple of high capacity HDDs. The files are reasonably clearly named. I've never bothered creating a database of the files because I am inherently lazy and believe the computer should be doing this for me.
Anyways, crunch time. Had a look at the stuff in the public repositories, but they all involve too much typing, too much work. So, what are others using/ doing to maintain their "collection" indexes?
Is there a way to maintain what shortcuts appear in the Places menu item. Right clicking shortcuts just opens them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently on Ubuntu Server 11.04 x86_64 and have configured a logical volume that contains 2x 2TB HDD's and mounted that volume in /data. The OS is installed to the first HDD (a 500GB one). So the system has 3 HDD's in total (1x 500GB OS disk and 2x 2TB data disks).I want to do a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop on the system without losing the data in the 4TB logical volume currently mounted in /data. Is this possible and if so, how?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed suse 11.3 and everything seems to work perfectly out of the box, except for the network card. I am currently using the ath9k driver.
The problem is that if I connect to a WPA protected network, the connection will drop about every 20 seconds and ask for the network key again. Eventually, after about 15 minutes, it completely stops working and I have to reboot in order to be able to use it again. Unloading and reloading the ath9k module has no effect, a full reboot is needed. I have not yet tried to use ath5k or madwifi instead, but on ubuntu, the ath5k and madwifi drivers do not associate with my card.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a system with data stored in multiple disk arrays. I have to come up with a solution that will maintain the disk order of the arrays whenever a stripe fails, is removed and then put back in. One solution I came up with was to stamp every stripe with the disk array it belongs to along with its stripe id. I plan to put this stamp in the last 512 KB of each disk. And I maintain all this information in a sqlite database, that is disk array, stripe id, the software diskname, etc. So that whenever a disk is replaced, its stamp could be read and the corresponding entries in the database are updated.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently started to get my large packages (like openoffice, texlive, and the VLC SlackBuild) from Robby and Eric's webpages. Is there an easy way to keep these packages up to date? The only way I know of is manually checking their websites periodically to see if there has been a change in the package version, but I would much rather be notified in some way when there is an update available.
Does anyone have a script or similar system to do this? I ask here because I want to know if other Slackers have already figured out a better method than what I would be able to think of.
I am running Ubuntu 10.4 [64bit] on a AMD dual core with 4gb of RAM. My Problem: I am mounting to a Windows share from my Ubuntu box and everything is working as expected however, when a file is added, deleted, or modified the Ubuntu File browser does not reflect that change until the next refresh. The Windows users with Explorer will reflect the change immediately and automatically.
Is there a way to make the Ubuntu File Browser respond like Explorer when mounting to a Windows share? I call this behavior "maintaining state".
I currently have 10.04 installed as my primary OS. I also have windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha installed. I would like to be able to play around with the 10.10 without any risk of damaging my 10.04 install. However, it seems grub2 control was transfered to 10.10. How do I return control to my original distro?
