Hi all,
I was contacted by tacticaltech about the new section on howtos for security under GNU/Linux, see the message below. I already sent them some feedback about it (Veracrypt not being Free Software, and that they should hightlight chromium or irdium instead of Chrome and Opera as alternatives). If you also have feedback they told me you can directly sent it to security@ngoinabox.org (in case you want encrypt, they sent me the attached public key for that).
All the best, Matthias
