I have this same concern. Part of the reason for airwalling is security, but I figure that since data only goes in, then it's not too much of concern if packages are untrustworthy, so long as they don't corrupt local data (backups, duh), have upgrades break functionality (gtk+ menu item underlining, I'm looking at you), and it remains offline no matter what. There's another stage of paranoia, where the offline box cannot have.. - audio (possibly inaudible signals?, unresearched) - USB functionality (radio transmission, demonstrated) - .. and whatever concerns still relevant from TEMPEST (unresearched) Additional offline-access concerns exist (encryption is done, but also compromised peripherals), but that's not my focus at this point. I just find this gap to be as sensible a practice as having a bedroom in a house separate from an office downtown; be social out in the world, with some quaint assumptions of privacy, yet maintain some sort of more-actual privacy with works created, maintained or otherwise stored offline. - People paste chapters of their books-in-progress into online grammar checkers. Hell (and I don't have any), people actually keep sex tapes on their _phones_ .. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
