Tails 6.14.1 Released with Improved Tor Browser Integration
—@linuxiac

｢ One of the standout changes in Tails 6.14.1 is its improved confinement technology for the Tor Browser. Formerly, users were confined to saving and reading files from only a narrow selection of folders. With this update, individuals can now freely access any folder in their Home directory or Persistent Storage from the Tor Browser ｣

Somebody bought a tail today. #cats #blackcats #tails #CatsOfMastodon

#Tails 6.14.1 apporte un peu de souplesse à #TorBrowser sur la gestion des fichiers
https://next.ink/brief_article/tails-6-14-1-apporte-un-peu-de-souplesse-a-tor-browser-sur-la-gestion-des-fichiers/

Nouvelle mouture pour la distribution Linux centrée sur la sécurité et la vie privée. Une version 6.14.1 qui peut surprendre, car la 6.14 n’a pas été publiée. L’équipe de développement s’en explique dans un billet, indiquant qu’un problème important a été découvert à la dernière minute, nécessitant un correctif.

Tails 6.14.1 se distingue surtout par un changement notable dans le navigateur Tor Browser.

(FOSS news in comment)

Using a #VM is great if you want to try out a new system, but its security can only be as good as the computer it's running on.

So when you see me use a VM, I expect that my #privacy and #security are only as good as the weakest link.

#Tails was the strongest link in this video:

edit: Whoops, definitely the wrong link at first

Tails 6.14.1 erschienen
https://linuxnews.de/tails-6-14-1-erschienen/ #tails #tor #linux

#tails 6.14.1 released, with good news:

>## More flexible confinement of _Tor Browser_
>
>We improved the confinement technology that we use to protect your files from
possible security vulnerabilities in _Tor Browser_.
>
>Until now, _Tor Browser_ could only save downloads to and read files from a
limited number of folders.
>
>With Tails 6.14.1, you can safely access any folder in your _Home_ folder or
Persistent Storage from _Tor Browser_.

I always found the whole "you gotta put stuff in 'Tor Browser' or 'Tor Browser (Persistent)' before the browser can see it" to be an annoying part of using tails. Curious to see how much difference I'll notice being able to have the browser go straight to the files I want to without that extra song-and-dance.
