Take your privacy into your own hands. The longer you stay the more you lose.
Do you play gaymes? If so what kinds? You'll have the handle linux gaming differently.

I have seen better bait on Sup Forums and /wg/.

considering to test is
Kayden Rivera
i'm kinda doubtful about W7 too. tho i haven't seen it doing any spying
Blake Kelly
There's definitely no strange shit going on with my network while running Linux, though.
Colton Clark
Not even TCP connections to CloudFlare? That's interesting.
Caleb Fisher
Sure, the Cloudfare comment is retarded, but why is Windows trying to look at my network shares on other computers? Not cool, Sir.
William Young
It's CALLED GNU+LINUX!
Benjamin Wright
can some techno-wiz check that IP?
Jaxon Carter
im deploying my attack barriers as we speak.
Camden Myers
Are you using Avahi?
Xavier Rogers
Linux? You mean Android? Its a bit limited for desktop use. Perhaps you are thinking about GNU/Linux (or as Ive recently taken to call it, GNU + Linux) Not GNU Linux, because that way it might trick you into thinking that Linux is a GNU package. Through a peculiar turn of events, Linux wasn't created for that purpose
Jacob Brown
Yes. What happens is this. Boot up Windows and the dreaded update bullshit starts, while this is going on, I watch the traffic on my Linux box across the room. During the whole process the Windows box is clearly extending it's feelers to the Linux machine. I'm not worried, permission is denied to the Windows computer, but the bahavior seems odd and sneaky.

>not knowing about NETBIOS >not expecting windows to send out tons of ARP broadcasts. You sir clearly have no idea what's actually going on with your internal network.
Easton Hall
So, you've disabled all services, and still have a TCP connection.
Yeah, not possible.
Michael Carter
>not knowing about NETBIOS This is my first and only Windows machine. I guess I didn't expect it to be enabled by default. We don't do things like that in Linux. Statement retracted. Thanks.
Jacob Lewis
NETBIOS is a fucking plague and should have been axed long ago. OSX also sends out NETBIOS broadcasts which is really fucking stupid.
Benjamin Thompson
>I guess I didn't expect it to be enabled by default Netbios has been around since before DNS was practical, it's like an old version of DNS, controlled by a WINS server. Why Windows still uses it is a real mystery. >muh NT technology
Blake Nelson
OSX introduced bonjour, and then Lennart got jealous that Windows and OSX could autodiscover things on network so he introduced Avahi to Linux. If you dislike Netbios, maybe you need to be sure Avahi service isn't running on your Linux distribution.

Get Windows Server 2008 R1 SP2. Even though it is Vista it ends support in 2020 instead of 2017, the same time 2008 R2/Win7 ends support. No telemetry nor quality rollup nonsense. But it is Vista, so browser-wise there is a problem.
Ian Russell
So has there yet been any proof that the gubmint actually uses this supposed Jewish telemetry to catch people doing illegal shit?
Or do you actually care that some computer at Microsoft logged you fapping to gay furry porn on January 5 2017 at 4:03 PM, and no one will ever see or care about this information?
Liam Gray
hey OP
Austin Price
What the fuck is bonjour? who gives a fuck about speaking french?
Bentley Gray
Zero configuration. It's how your ithings automagically let your neighbors see your femdom porn collection before you realize it's being shared.
Robert Morgan
>Why Windows still uses it is a real mystery.
Because enterprise legacy support.
almost all "why does Windows do this" can be answered by "because legacy support for enterprise".
Microsoft bends over backwards to ensure backwards and forwards compatibility, Windows is a fucking 5th dimensional pretzel of compatibility.
Jaxson Ramirez
resolves to winpcap.com
you literally got spooked by wireshark itself
Joseph Howard
Use windows 10 for gaming and as soon as you are done go to shitpost using ubuntu.
Mason Myers
phew, why does it need to connect to pcap?
Camden Wilson
guess my win7 is telemetry free, if only I could find a non-botnet browser, firefox connects to some weird shit
Austin Jackson
I recommend installing Windows 7 and don't do any updates.
And then just use Kaspersky or CS2017.
Sebastian Nguyen
I've heard chromium and palemoon are pretty legit.
Tyler Bell
incoming or outgoing? Cloudflare is content delivery used by Sup Forums among other people.
I don't care what Putin does with my information. It's not like he can send a death squad to America and arrest me for downloading torrents of animemes and movies like the US can.
Carter Lee
> going through all of this shit to play gaymes > not having a console literally DEDICATED to games
Jeremiah Jenkins
i just got korora mate its kinda great glossy lookingalso post the website im curious
Nathan Nguyen
Isn't it weird how the current situation makes it more desirable for a citizen to have a foreign power spy on then rather than their own government? I can't find any analogy for this.
John Walker
Id rather have a foreign spy than a domestic spy or a corporation desu. I really dont care as much what the Russians and microsoft know about me as much as my own goverment.
Sebastian Reed
holy shit I just typed desu without even thinking about it what is happening to me ._. I dont even watch anime
Adrian Collins
>muh fud
why are you so concerned with connecting to an MS IP when you connect to every service on google just by posting this thread?
Gavin Jones
Win server 2008 is win7 tho
Colton Young
>So has there yet been any proof that the gubmint actually uses this supposed Jewish telemetry to catch people doing illegal shit? Shit dude idk
Isaac Martinez
>why are you so concerned with connecting to an MS IP when you connect to every service on google just by posting this thread? Not all of them. There's no analytics.
Caleb Jenkins
The R2 is, the R1 is not.
Xavier Peterson
What anime is this?
Lincoln Russell
post wireshark log
Samuel Wright
Install Gen2
