Session Is Getting A Major Privacy & Security Boost!|This Week in Privacy #30 (Dec 5, 2025)

Hi! I hope the PG team is doing well. :slight_smile:

I typically don’t really ask questions, but I do have a couple today.

  1. Since NixOS isn’t FHS compliant, normal binaries aren’t able to run without some workarounds. This means applications like the Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser aren’t official. Could this possibly mean that there are some fingerprinting concerns with using this unofficial binaries? Should NixOS really be recommended then?
    Also, the security for Nix is severely lacking behind other distros because there is little to none support for AppArmor and Selinux.

  2. If someone wants to start a blog, how can it be done in a private manner? E.g. blogs like The Privacy Dad (@ThePrivacyDad love your blog btw!)
