romsebon Bitmask: an open source app to provide easy and secure encrypted communication

For secure communication we should leave email behind because there's still a lot of metadata when using email.

Bitmessage (https://bitmessage.org) might prove to be a viable solution to the metadata problem.

The FAQ for cryptsetup states: https://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQue...

This means that if you have a large set of random-looking data, they can already lock you up. Hidden containers (encryption hidden within encryption), as possible with Truecrypt, do not help either. They will just assume the hidden container is there and unless you hand over the key, you will stay locked up. Don't have a hidden container? Though luck. Anybody could claim that.

romsebon Check your Google history

To see so many people on here finding this a useful feature I wonder if there are browser extensions which store the search history (independent of the search provider) client-side.

I love how I can access years of search queries for words in other languages in an extension like Instant Translate: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/instant-translate/...
