My entire basis for TAILS being the paranoid's choice is their official install documents saying "Install this liveCD to install another liveCD"
That really touched my heart's autism.

There was also something called Tinfoil Hat Linux. I'm not sure if that still exists but it was much more roll your own and more than I'd be able to turn into something I could use.

And this hit the news:

The e-mail provider Tutanota can be forced by court order to publish messages from its customers unencrypted to investigators. This became known through research by "Süddeutscher Zeitung", NDR and WDR. The start-up from Hannover presents itself as "the world's most secure e-mail service." As a German-based company, however, it faces a legal situation that makes it even difficult for providers who deliberately collect little data about their customers makes to withdraw inquiries from investigators.
The district court of Itzehoe had reported to Tutanota at the beginning of October 2018: Managing Director Matthias Pfau had been asked by a letter to enable investigators to read certain e-mails from a customer in real time, according to the reports. The request involved inbound and outbound email that is not end-to-end encrypted, but which is protected from outside access by Tutanota servers using corporate-grade encryption. On the other hand, Tutanota can not decrypt the contents of messages that use end-to-end encryption because both parties are using the service.
Background of the court claim were according to the WDR ransomware attacks on companies from Schleswig-Holstein, where a mail address of Tutanota was used. This address wanted to monitor investigators. The petitioner referred to Article 100a of the Code of Criminal Procedure and Section 110 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG), it is said. The TKG regulates which data providers must pass on, but it is in many respects outdated or vague.
Matthias Pfau initially refused to comply with the demand of the district court. Then, however, the court ruled that Tutanota had to hand over the data and imposed a 1,000 euro fine - and the Federal Constitutional Court made a ruling that prompted Peacock not to fight back.
At that time, the Federal Constitutional Court dismissed a constitutional complaint from Posteo. The court's press release stated: "It is not contrary to the Basic Law that the provider of an e-mail service is required under a properly ordered telecommunications surveillance to provide the investigating authorities with the Internet Protocol addresses ('IP addresses') on theirs Account to accessing customers even if he has organized his service for privacy reasons so that he does not log these. "
Similar to Tutanota, Posteo also promotes customers for its mailboxes with a focus on data economy and IT security. Immediately after the message from Karlsruhe, Posteo had announced an "architectural solution" that "does not affect the safety and the rights of our customers". In the meantime, the company refers to a decision of the European Court of Justice on mail services from June and stresses that it has not carried out any reconstruction work on its systems.
Tutanota reacted to the conflict with the district court Itzehoe with a new function, it is said in the media reports: If an account for a valid order of a German court is present, the enterprise could in addition a copy of not end-to-end encrypted emails that investigators can read. Retroactively, however, such copies could not be created - and the contents of end-to-end encrypted mail remained unreadable for Tutanota and investigators.
The Spiegel said Matthias Pfau, the described function exist at Tutanota since June. It is selectively and only for individual accounts turned on, if there is a corresponding valid court order. "We try to protect privacy as much as possible and are therefore not happy to have to install such a feature," says Pfau.
Practically, the feature was already used. This can be seen in Tutanota's latest Transparency Report, which informs customers about regulatory inquiries from the first half of 2019. There are four requests for "real-time content data" the speech. And it also means that in four cases "real-time content data" was issued due to a valid court order. Once it should have gone to the mailbox, which was associated with the ransomware attacks in Schleswig-Holstein, told the SPIEGEL.
Update, 6:15 pm: In this article, we have clarified the passages to Posteo and added a reference to the June judgment of the European Court of Justice as well as a current statement from the company.

Mullvad is good but there's been some changes in Swedish law recently that forces storing data on users for every ISP. Bahnhof had to bend the knee after fighting it in court, when that happens things are pretty dire, their solution was to offer a VPN service to bypass that law.
VPN providers are not internet service providers, legally, but if the people making the laws wants to log people using the internet they can change the law. The new law is already so broad and so dumb that extending it to VPN providers seems sensible in comparison.
Maybe they can take it to the EU court and challenge it because of GDPR or something.

I guess we have to see how it goes. It wouldn't be shocking if Mullvad's legislative position worsened, but it would be very difficult for them to be less trustworthy privacy wise than an Israeli spyware company.

Anyone know of a way (app or browser) to download non-YouTube videos on android? (NewPipe is great for YouTube stuff BTW, highly recommended)
I have been watching Chinese animu cartoons on 9anime and would like to download some episodes to my phone to have something to watch when traveling with no wi-fi.
I can download to PC and transfer to phone but would rather avoid the ass pain if possible.

I think if you download a terminal app you could use youtube-dl, which can download from websites other than youtube. Don't know how compatible it is with chinese cartoons sites

There's an absurdly long list of supported sites: https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
I'm not sure how up to date that is, and they're not always speedy in updating the more obscure ones when they break, because it's usually just one guy who wanted that site who put it in there. If you know what you're doing you can add sites yourself. If you don't, you can ask the fairly active community and someone might add it for you if they take an interest.

My Boys @kiwifarms,
I would like to introduce a very cool App named OnTopReplica!.
A real-time always-on-top “replica” of a window of your choice, for Windows Vista, 7, 8, or 10.
This simple utility application shows a blank always-on-top window by default. Users can pick any other window of the system to have an always up-to-date clone of the target window shown always-on-top. Very useful for monitoring background processes, wrangling with complex multi-window games or tools, watching Youtube videos while working, and so on.
Features:
Clone any of your windows and keep it always-on-top while working with other windows,
Select a subregion of the cloned window, which:
Can be stored for future use,
Can use relative coordinates from the target window’s borders.
Auto-resizing (fit the original window, half, quarter and fullscreen mode),
Position lock on any corner of your screen,
Adjustable opacity,
“Click forwarding”: allows to interact with the cloned window,
“Click-through”: makes the replica ignore any mouse interaction (turns OnTopReplica into an overlay if set together with partial opacity),
“Group switch”-mode automatically switches through a group of windows while you use them.
Requirements
Microsoft Windows Vista or greater (the application makes use of native DWM Thumbnails to create replicas),
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.
Desktop Composition (a.k.a. Windows Aero) enabled.
Hope you guys enjoy, I love watching youtube videos while browsing Reddit or other forums.
Since I'm new to the site I would rather not upload any files or anything just browse for OnTopReplica I acquired it for free, if you have an issue let me know and we can work out an alternative.

This would have been useful 10 years ago. Now most people who needed this have multiple monitors.

I guess that's useful if you're too lazy or slow to use a Linux distro.

Agreed, but I can still see "some value" in it using a laptop that's not docked to your monitors (airport, traveling, whatever). But even then, you could just resize the windows you want open and have them all on your desktop (which is basically how I do it when needed).
