The same problem was identified years ago when encrypted email first started being used. The solution for that was chaining remailers that forward messages out of order. It adds a delay, but for email or text messages that is a minor concern. Each remailer only knows who it received a message from and who it sent a message to. No remailer knows both. Whatsapp could easily add auch a feature by having servers chain the messages through multiple countries. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

One possible reason for including it is that not all printers are connected to that computer.
Using a lan or cloud hp printer, would make use of it.

I agree it shouldn't be forced.

Lol. My guess is that they've harvested social media sites but want more images they can tie to email addresses
and ip addresses.

I prefer firefox. The privacy badger and DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials add on extensions are also available for firefox.

From what I've read, it requires the system to be running sshd, allowing root login using a password. Most distributions default to requiring a key, or disabling root ssh.

I rarely sleep more than 4 hours at a time, though I'll often have a nap for an hour or two in the afternoon.

I should also add that I use a corsair liquid cpu cooler (H55), in a cooler master case, with 4 fans blowing air in, and one blowing air out of the top. Some of the things I do can get 80 degree air coming out of the cooler, yet the cpu stays around 40C. I have boinc running 24/7 so the system doesn't have any thermal shocks.

Argh. I had line breaks in there, but they seem to have all been dropped.
