"What is Tails?"

Glad you asked. A privacy OS that fits on a thumb drive for people like Project Veritas that get roughed up and surveilled. But it also suitable for other privacy concerns.

If you had a password manager and wanted a spare copy of the db, this would be a nice place to back it up to for instance.

"Tails, or "The Amnesic Incognito Live System," is a security-focused Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at preserving privacy and anonymity. It connects to the Internet exclusively through the anonymity network Tor. The system is designed to be booted as a live DVD or live USB and leaves no digital footprint on the machine unless explicitly told to do so. It can also be run as a virtual machine, with some additional security risks. The Tor Project provided financial support for its development in the beginnings of the project, and continues to do so alongside numerous corporate and anonymous sponsors...."

Tails is a privacy-focused operating system that is designed to preserve anonymity and protect personal data from surveillance. It is based on Debian Linux and connects exclusively through the Tor network, making it difficult for others to track your online activity.

One of the unique features of Tails is that it can be run as a live DVD or live USB, which means that it leaves no digital footprint on the machine unless explicitly told to do so. This makes Tails ideal for people who are concerned about their privacy or those who need to keep their online activities private due to security concerns.

In addition, Tails can also be used as a backup drive for password managers or other sensitive data. Its open-source nature ensures that anyone can audit its codebase and identify any potential vulnerabilities.

If you are looking for an operating system that prioritizes privacy and security above all else, then Tails may be worth considering! #SecureOS #PrivacyFocused #OpenSource
