The diverter valve is toast and I ' d love to find replacement parts to restore its former glory ! Edit words <| sep |> PGP keyservers have been compromised for ages . Good thing that PGP security does not depend on the keyservers . The keyservers are just there for easier key exchange , but the private keys never hit the key server . On tor , quoting from the Snowden docs Tor stinkstorstinks . pdfThat the NSA rants against Tor is probably good news . Furthermore the overal design seems still sound , however Tor will not guard against compromised endpoints and Tails is not failsafe , however that does not mean that you can ' t be safe online , and actually it is probably easier online than offline . It means you have to understand the systems , just like you have to understand other systems of control .
