libranet twitter import synchronization[edit]

https://libranet.de/profile/whonixarchive.org

"Whonix 17.0.1.9 - for VirtualBox - Major Release - Debian 12 / bookworm based - Testers Wanted!"

according to nitter (dont have twitter account):

https://nitter.net/Whonixarchive.org

This isnt the last post, so please sign in to libranet and try to relink the bot (or so) to twitter.

Patrick:

There is no twitter setting anymore.

Quote https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/11157#issuecomment-1637042101archive.org

This is likely obsolete due to Twitter addon deprecation.

Please move to archived down on this wiki page so we don't forget about this.

Test Wiki Query Parameters (DebugJS, without JS..etc)[edit]

Checking Broken Links[edit]

Notice Only[edit]

Notice only. Information only. Not a task.

Keep links such as:

A)

[https://manpages.debian.org/modesetting Debian manpages: ModeSetting]

Do not change to:

B)

https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/xserver-xorg-core/modesetting.4.en.html

This is because A) is more generic. Debian already redirects to the most recent release and link. No need to use the more specific link which will break in a few years.

Links Knowledge[edit]

In https://www.kicksecure.com/w/index.php?title=Mobile_Phone_Security&oldid=61483&diff=curarchive.org you changed from

https://www.businessinsider.com/saudi-arabia-imei-track-runaways-2019-5

to

https://www.businessinsider.nl/saudi-arabia-imei-track-runaways-2019-5?international=true&r=US

That is actually a regression. The first regression is better.

1) The part ?international=true&r=US should not be added. (Don't add bold part. Try if it works without. If it works without, don't add it.)

https://www.businessinsider.nl/saudi-arabia-imei-track-runaways-2019-5archive.org?international=true&r=US

2) I don't think .com was changed to .nl. It's unlikely that a primarily English news websites changes its domain from .com to .nl. Probably just some weird redirection due to Tor IP and IP detection. That link shouldn't have been changed.

Double Redirects to Single Redirects[edit]

https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Special:DoubleRedirectsarchive.org

Howto:

Example bad, now:

Comparison Of Tor with CGI Proxies Proxy Chains and VPN Services -> Comparison Of Tor with CGI Proxies, Proxy Chains, and VPN Services -> Tor vs Proxy

What we need to do is:

Comparison Of Tor with CGI Proxies Proxy Chains and VPN Services -> Tor vs Proxy

Practical fix:

Go to Comparison Of Tor with CGI Proxies Proxy Chains from Special:DoubleRedirects and press on edit and change from:

#REDIRECT [[Comparison Of Tor with CGI Proxies, Proxy Chains, and VPN Services]]

To

#REDIRECT [[Tor vs Proxy]]

Grammar fixing tools[edit]

  • Grammarly:

Unsupported, only support posts (like twitter or facebook or email..) not for/when editing a page or so (yet).

Ticket: https://support.grammarly.com/hc/en-us/requests/6647856archive.org

ChatGPT:

Doesnt work with long wikis/paragraphs, only small portions of text needed to be posted at a time to correct it properly (not useful for pages grammar correction).

Wiki Usability Review[edit]

Risks of Omitting Backups[edit]

What are the risks if I don’t back up my data before installing Kicksecure? Also, what’s the best way for someone new to this to back up their data?

Partitioning[edit]

What are the steps, especially what I need to think about when partitioning my system? (using calamares)

Root Permissions[edit]

Understanding the implications of root permissions and user account configurations is a little complex. (Is there a better way to grasp it)?

Backlog[edit]
