ah crazy, i made it work with Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS!

For some reason i had to unplug the PC before restarting. Then it got found as UEFI and could boot.

The full installation on the USB was a bit dirty, as i put the Live Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine and installed it from there. So i typed the full disk encryption and login passwords in Windows ... but I wont be too paranoid about that one now ๐Ÿ˜…

seems to involve disabling secure boot, not happy with that. will cause more paranoia ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

like i said, i tried mint, does not work from that stick, only tails works. what i want to achieve is not much:

  • create files that i cannot decrypt in my windows, even if i have the keys or the password, which i both dont have. (already done in tails)
  • run this one single app on a secure usb, so when my windows or phone have a virus/stolen/lost, this app is not there and not in danger.

Appreciate it a lot, thanks. What Distro would you recommend running from a USB?

Beside security concerns about stuff that I don't understand, my only real needs are:

  • Kleopatra (to generate keys and passwords my Windows will never know about)
  • And this fucking App that will not connect to the internet on Tails.

omg pls do digress! like i said, im reallly open to other distros.

did try other ports.

dont have another usb. i like this one cuz its fast and i dont want to buy a new one before being sure it will work.

Are you sure you need the UEFI mode and not the legacy BIOS mode?

im not. and i dont even understand that question ๐Ÿ™ˆ

but the stick is new and should not be too bad: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006057488603.html

super great app, thanks for sharing!

basically.

even minimal metadata for example from signal contains

Message dates and times

Message senders and recipients (via phone number identifiers)

From these 2 pieces of information, its possible to build social graphs: who talked to who, and when they did it. Also, who's in a group chat with who else.
