That's where non-developmental questions should go. :) But briefly here's my two cents: You should replace your wifi card. I believe there are other wifi cards available that work with free software that should fit in your laptop. Alternatively, there are even ones that work with a usb port. thinkpenguin.com should have some options or ebay. It'll cost you $10-$50 depending where you buy. If you really want to browse the internet like Edward Snowden, then having VPN over TOR is probably one of the better ways to go. You'll browsing speed probably won't support playing internet videos though. You can set up your own VPN, but it's just easier to pay for it. I use expressVPN. If you buy from expressVPN, let em know. I can guide you to setting it up with Guix. I would recommend using Thunderbird as your email client. We have it packaged in guix as icedove. I would also recommend dismail.de or riseup.net to host your email. Both are gratis, but please do consider donating to their cause. If you wanted to dive deeper into securing your computing, don't use a computer. :) But you could set up an encrypted hard drive, and possible follow the Archlinux guide about security. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Security#Hardened_malloc Do note that updating your CPU microcode is technically non-free, which is mentioned in the guide. Feel free to re-ask this question by emailing help-guix@gnu.org. Thanks, Joshua P.S. Sorry if linking to the Arch GNU/Linux wiki is frowned upon, but it still is the best wiki I've come across. -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus https://gnucode.me https://video.hardlimit.com/accounts/joshua_branson/video-channels "You can have whatever you want, as long as you help enough other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar
