Notre programme pour 2021

En 2021, nous souhaitons nous concentrer sur l'amélioration de fonctionnalités au coeur de Tails, en particulier pour le contournement de la censure.

Pour soutenir notre travail en 2021, prenez maintenant une minute pour donner et combattre la surveillance et la censure!

Contournement de la censure

Nous voulons complètement reconcevoir la manière de démarrer Tor et de configurer des ponts Tor.

Cela rendra plus facile pour les personnes des pays où l'accès à Tor est bloqué de contourner la censure. Selon les données du projet Tor, les 5 premiers pays en termes d'utilisateurs de ponts Tor sont la Russie, l'Iran, les Etats-Unis, le Bélarus et la Chine.

Stockage persistent

Nous voulons améliorer l'interface des paramètres du stockage persistent.

Améliorer le stockage persistent était une de nos premières priorités quand nous avons sondé nos utilisateurs en juillet. Nous voulons commencer par améliorer l'utilisabilité de ses fonctionnalités principales et réécrire l'application Perl vieille de 9 ans en Python GTK+. Cela permettra de l'améliorer plus rapidement dans le futur.

Nous voulons aussi permettre de rendre persistants les ponts Tor.

Sécurité et maintenance

Pour améliorer la sécurité de toutes les applications dans Tails, nous voulons migrer vers Wayland. Wayland est un nouveau système d'affichage pour Linux qui contrôle mieux comment chaque application interagit avec le reste du système.

Par exemple, Wayland corrigera la manière dont le Navigateur non sécurisé peut être utilisé pour vous désanonymiser.

Nous publierons aussi Tails 5.0, basé sur Debian 11 (Bullseye) fin 2021. Cela apportera des nouvelles versions de la plupart des logiciels inclus dans Tails.

Aidez-nous à combattre la surveillance et la censure

Tout notre travail est rendu possible par des dons de personnes comme vous. Nous apprécions particulièrement les dons mensuels et annuels, mêmes les plus petits. Parce qu'ils nous aident à planifier notre travail, ils sont les plus précieux pour la durabilité de Tails.

Pour soutenir notre travail en 2021, prenez une minute maintenant pour donner et combattre la surveillance et la censure !

Tails report for December, 2020

In memoriam of Karsten Loesing

We join the Tor project in mourning Karsten Loesing. Our sincere condolences to Karsten's family and colleagues.

Those of us who were lucky enough to cross Karsten's path remember him as a very kind, thoughtful, and smart person.

Rest in peace, Karsten.

Releases

The following changes were introduced in Tails 4.15:

  • Add support for the Ledger hardware wallets in Electrum. (#15353)

  • Remove the Unifont font. (!263)

  • Fix Additional Software by updating the APT key for deb.torproject.org. (#18042)

  • Fix changing the administration password stored in the Persistent Storage. (#18018)

  • Fix opening the Persistent Storage of another Tails USB stick in the Files browser. (#18050)

  • Restore automatically a GnuPG public keyring from its backup when it gets corrupt. (#17807)

🎉 New core developer 🎂

Today, we celebrate the arrival in our Foundations Team of a new member: boyska. His skills and experience in operating systems, software development, and collective projects will:

  • Accelerate development of new features, user experience improvements, and bug fixes.

  • Make our day-to-day maintenance work more sustainable.

    This work has no visible impact most of the time, except that Tails is still alive after more than a decade, and here to stay!

  • Decrease our reliance on a tiny number of key persons.

    This is one important step we're taking, among others, towards making Tails a healthier project.

I'm boyska, a fellow who always loved computers. When I realized the profound social implications of technology, I tried to make my part: that's how I got involved with free software, security and hacking in general. A post-it note in my brain remembers me that computing should be fun, not scary.

Additionally, we would like to thank:

  • the thousands of people whose donation allowed us to fund this new position

    Please consider donating today to fight surveillance and censorship.

  • the dozens of people who applied to this job offer

    It's been truly heart-warming to see so many great applicants interested in working with us.

Welcome, boyska! :)

Code

  • We implemented a mechanism for adding a "Don't Show Again" button to some notifications. We'll try it out in Tails 4.15 for the warning displayed when starting Tails in a virtual machine; then we'll iterate from there.

  • We finished porting our Python code to Python 3. Yeah!

  • We made plans for rewriting Persistent Storage in Python, making it compatible with Wayland, and redesigning its UX from scratch.

Documentation and website

User experience

  • Started analyzing the search queries on our website, following a methodology by Susan Farrell. (#11649)

  • Started preparing the redesign of the Persistent Storage that we'll work on in January. (#15572)

  • Investigated what it would take to stop distributing ISO images:

    • #18047: Users unintentionally install ISO to USB instead of the .img
    • #18054: Distribute USB images by default for all virtual machines
    • #18055: Stop distributing ISO images

  • Added some depth to the buttons on our website. (#15111)

Funding

Grants

  • Our proposal to the UXFund to work on a replacement for Tor Launcher was approved buy scaled down by 20%.

Donations

  • Received 57.8k€ from 88 donations at CCT since the beginning of the campaign.

    It's 70% more donations, that's the important part, and 599% more money thanks to a 50k€ donation from some crypto trading company, that's the big cherry on top of the cake!

  • Blogged about our achievements in 2020.

Sponsors

  • Renamed "partners" as "sponsors" after DeepOnion listed Tails as their partner on their website.

    The word "partners" implies reciprocity and a deeper relationship, while the word "sponsor" doesn't and is more accurate, honest, and common.

  • Got invited to the Lifetime Raffle of ProtonMail.

Outreach

Past events

  • Tails and Tor were presented (among other tools) to journalism students at Sciences Po Rennes (Rennes, France) as part of their digital safety lessons.

Metrics

  • Tails has been started more than 978 192 times this month. This makes 31 554 boots a day on average.

How do we know this?

Our achievements in 2020

Despite everything, 2020 was a great year for Tails. We released major improvements that made Tails easier to use by the people who need it the most.

If you enjoyed our work in 2020, take a minute now to donate and fight surveillance and censorship!

From the number of automatic upgrades, we know that Tails was used 20% more in 2020 than in 2019, which is our largest increase since 2016. From March to May only, when the lockdown measures were the strictest worldwide, Tails got used 10% more than ever before.

Today, Tails is used close to 32 000 times each day.

Simplified starting procedure

We added support for Secure Boot in April. Secure Boot doesn't really make your computer any safer but it forced most users to edit their BIOS in complicated and risky ways to be able to use Tails (or Linux in general). Now you don't have to edit the BIOS anymore!

We also documented the Shift+Restart procedure to start Tails from Windows 8 or 10 using the Start menu. Now you don't have to hammer that Boot Menu key anymore!

All this dramatically simplified our starting instructions for PCs.

Better upgrades

Because we know that upgrades are one of the most painful aspects of using Tails, we released significant improvements to automatic upgrades in January. We made automatic upgrades:

  • Available from all prior versions to the latest version in a single upgrade.

    For example, you can upgrade from 4.10 to 4.14 directly, without having to first upgrade to 4.12 anymore.

  • Available endlessly between minor versions of Tails.

    For example, you don't have to do a manual upgrade anymore after a few upgrades. You will only have to do a manual upgrade between major versions, for example to upgrade to Tails 5.0 at the end of 2021.

  • Use less memory.

  • Better documented, especially manual upgrades.

But also…

  • We completely redesigned our Home page to explain better what is Tails and why people should use it.

  • We made it possible to save the settings of the Welcome Screen in the Persistent Storage: language, keyboard, and additional settings.

  • We simplified the verification procedure on our download page by replacing the Tails Verification extension with similar JavaScript code that runs directly on the page.

    People without JavaScript are also now pointed to the checksum of the download.

  • We added support for the hardware cryptocurrency wallets Trezor and Ledger.

Under the hood

Unfortunately, the biggest part of our work doesn't lead to such major changes for our users. Tails is an endless work of updates and maintenance: publishing a new release every 4 weeks to fix security vulnerabilities, adapting to new versions of the underlying software, keeping our website and development infrastructure secure and reliable, etc.

  • We published more releases than ever. In 2020 we released 15 new versions of Tails to always have your back covered!

    At the end of 2019, Firefox switched from releasing a new version every 6 weeks to releasing a new version every 4 weeks. And so did we.

  • We streamlined our release process by automating its most time-consuming parts. This reduced the work needed to publish a new release of Tails from 2 full days of work to only 1 day.

    In the long run, this will help us spend more time on what really matters to our users and allow us to react faster to emergencies in case of security vulnerabilities.

  • We migrated to GitLab and saw many more of you jump in and give us a hand!

Help us fight surveillance and censorship

All our work is made possible by donations from people like you. We particularly appreciate monthly and yearly donations, even the smallest ones. Because they help us plan our work, they are the most valuable for the sustainability of Tails.

If you enjoyed our work in 2020, take a minute now to donate and fight surveillance and censorship!

Tails report for November, 2020

Releases

The following changes were introduced in Tails 4.13:

  • Update Thunderbird from 68.12 to 78.4.2. Thunderbird 78 replaces the Enigmail extension with built-in support for OpenPGP encryption. If you used Enigmail before Tails 4.13, follow our instructions to migrate from Enigmail to Thunderbird 78.

  • Add a button to restart Tails at the end of creating the Persistent Storage. (#16384)

  • Only include translations for languages that are available in the Welcome Screen. This reduces the size of the download by 5%. (#17139)

  • Make the root directory of the Persistent Storage only readable by the root user. (#7465)

  • Users of the Dotfiles feature of the Persistent Storage can choose Places ▸ Dotfiles to open the /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/dotfiles folder in the Files browser.

  • Enable TCP timestamps. This might increase stability on slower Internet connections. (#17491)

Release management

A year ago, when we learned we had to switch to a 4-weeks release cycle to follow Mozilla's lead, we acknowledged that the need to streamline our release process, in order to make this part of our work more sustainable. In November, the Tails Release Managers team had a sprint focused on this very topic, during which we identified a great number of issues and fixed most of them! :)

For details, read the sprint report.

Code

  • We had a meeting to prioritize & organize work on our next big things. We decided to first focus on:

    • Wayland blockers, that can be addressed incrementally.

    • Deal with deprecation of Tor Launcher (#17215)

    • Rewrite Persistent Storage GUI frontend (#17803

  • We scheduled a sprint in January to bootstrap our work on the RIPE grant and on Wayland blockers.

  • We re-bootstrapped our experiment on sharing our team's "front desk" workload.

  • We started reorganizing our team meetings.

  • We now require Debian 10 "Buster" or newer for running our test suite (#17842), and started to take benefit from this change.

  • We automated a great part of the tests we do as part of release quality assurance.

Documentation and website

User experience

Hot topics on our help desk

  1. Touchpad and keyboard do not work in Asus computers
  2. Some users lost their OpenPGP keys but could recover them from the backup file
  3. Panda Wireless adaptors stopped working

Funding

  • The first numbers that we could analyze for the donation campaign look very promising compared to the same period last year:

    • PayPal: 34% more donations, 28% more money
    • Bitcoin: 62% more donations
    • Monero: 205% more donations

  • We programmed our biggest Twitter campaign ever: 34 tweets, 1 tweet every 2 days at most. Half of them are not direct calls to donate but rather build up on the new Home and About pages to talk about the main properties of Tails.

  • We decided not to blog about the donation campaign for now because our team is seriously overworked. It doesn't seem to have impacted the campaign significantly. We might still blog about achievements and plans in December.

  • Our grant to RIPE on improving Tails for censorship circumvention was approved.

Outreach

Past events

  • Privacy Week 2020: Tails.

  • Tails was mentioned in another Privacy Week 2020 speech: How internet works

  • Tails was presented (among other tools) to journalism students at Sciences Po Rennes (Rennes, France).

Deprecation of the Tails Verification extension

Today, we are retiring the Tails Verification browser extension that used to be advertised on our download page. We are replacing it with similar JavaScript code that now runs directly on the page.

This new verification procedure is:

  • Simpler and faster for first-time users - Compatible with more web browsers, for example, Edge and Safari - As secure as the Tails Verification extension

From the logs on our website, it seems like only a minority of downloads are currently being verified. We believe that this simplified verification procedure will greatly increase the number of downloads being verified and improve the security of our users.

Users of the Tails Verification extension can safely remove it from their browser. They will be reminded to do so on the download page.

We will remove the Tails Verification extension from the Firefox and Chrome stores in a few days.

The other 2 verification techniques are still available:

  • If you download Tails using BitTorrent, your BitTorrent client automatically verifies the checksum of the Tails image when the download finishes.

  • If you know OpenPGP, you can verify your Tails image using an OpenPGP signature.

Special thanks to Mike Meixler who donated his time to help us with the verification JavaScript!

In the future, this simplification will allow us to further simplify the download page and installation instructions. We also want to research how to make the verification faster. If you know WebAssembly, see if you can help us speed up the checksum computation.

See also our design document on the security and threat model of the download verification.

Tails report for September, 2020

Releases

The following changes were introduced in Tails 4.11:

  • We added a new feature of the Persistent Storage to save the settings from the Welcome Screen: language, keyboard, and additional settings.

  • Configure KeePassXC to use the new default location Passwords.kdbx. (#17286)

  • Update python3-trezor to 0.12.2 to add compatibility with the new Trezor Model T.

  • Disable the feature to Turn on Wi-Fi Hotspot in the Wi-Fi settings because it doesn't work in Tails. (#17887)

Code

  • Completed the last steps of an effort started 14 months ago to import our custom software into our main Git repository (#7036), in order to streamline Tails development work:

  • Ported all our Perl code to a translatable strings format supported by GNU gettext (#17928), which will then allow us to benefit from brand new i18nspector checks, avoiding some classes of Tails bugs caused by buggy translations

  • Upgraded to tor 0.4.4 (#17932)

  • Settled on a new policy for kernel updates, that balances rapid hardware enablement with lower risk of regressions (#17911)

Hot topics on our help desk

  1. A lot of people reached the helpdesk complaining about JavaScript not being disabled by Tor Browser's safest mode anymore (NoScript is doing that job now as it should; to be documented in #17963).

  2. People are still affected (and will be until the Linux kernel is upgraded to 5.8) by a regression with some Intel GPU.

  3. Another regression affecting some Acer and Asus laptops was reported since the release of Tails 4.11.

  4. People are still regularly complaining about Seahorse failing to import public keys.

Also, it seemed important to the Help Desk team to remind Tails users that we are not responsible for the cosmetic changes made upstream (e.g. the handling of JavaScript in Tor Browser, or the new Firefox URL bar that received a lot of comments from users on our helpdesk as well as Tor project's). Any thoughts on those changes should be done directly to the people working on them.
