GDPR?
Many companies are sending "privacy policy update" to their Internet users
in order to comply with Europe's new General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR). It takes effect May 25th 2018.

The GDPR gives users control over how they want *their* data to be used.

As a security precaution *disconnect* 
your Internet devices when NOT in

IPv6
Internet Protocol Version 6 128 bit address (IPv6 address) is more capable than more limited IPv4 Internet 32 bit address scheme and provides more control in the delivery of the information "packets"
sent from a *source* IP address to a *destination*
IP address through packet-switched networks that increases the Internet quality of service (QoS) due
to more efficient, controlled routing.

Packet Sniffers
Data are sent over the TCP/IP Internet network in data packet envelopes.

A packet sniffer (like Wireshark) is an application that monitors the traffic
flow of data packets fromsource IPaddresses todestination IPaddresses
of

1. your Internet connection
2. your LAN (local area network)
   (if you have a computer network)
   (Yourrouter management menu
    will provide you with the IP
    addresses that make up your
    LAN.)


To find out who owns an outside IP address (one that is NOT yours),
Googlewhois IP address.

Notice the client-server connection always begins with a "hello"
(handshake) string.


For Windows 10 "ipconfig (Run command)"
gives you the IP address
of your PC or laptop(+your router if you have a LAN).

- typeipconfigin theTaskbar search bar
- click onipconfig

according to Kobo's President/CEO, Michael Tamblyn:
1. reading to understand: scholarly/pensive reading,
1. the reader goes back and forth in the book
2 reading to escape: recreational reading that is linear

Linux
Linux is derived from the 1st 3 letters
of the 1st name of its Finnish creator,
Linus Torvalds + the 1st 2 letters of
the Unix OS (operating system).
The core of the Linux OS is the Linux
kernel that controls memory+the hardware.

Because it's modular, you can install only
what you need.

It has a very small "footprint" as it only
uses resources on a as-needed basis using
minimal energy+lengthening the battery life
of a laptop. Its efficient use of computer
resouces make it virus+malwarefree.

It is an open-source OS (operating system)
that can run using a virtual computer. You
can also install it on the OS you're using
using a dual boot system. (Backup you existing
OS if you're going to install a dual boot
system. Microsoft Windows allows you to
make a work image of your current system.)

Its system requirements allows it to run
on older PCs (personal computers)+laptops.

Programmers like because of its array of
programming tools.

It's the Android OS on mobile phones+
it'is also Google's Android OS.

For its 
GUI (graphic user interface) it uses
the X Window System.

Due to multiple versions of Linux, their is
a broad selection of desktop designs (GUIs):
- Debian
- Ubuntu
- Linux Mint
- Bodhi Linux (It has application docks+a virtual desktop.)
- Red Hat's Fedora 1
  Red Hat's Fedora 2
arrow

They can all be installed on a USB-stick drive+
used as a "live system" with writeable partitions
for saving settings+data: it loads into the com-
puter's memory without touching the hard drive.

They all offer multiple virtual desktops.

Like Windows, they have a command line.

They all can run theFREEmultilingualLibre Office
open-source productivity suite (which is the equiva-
lent of Microsoft Office) as well as other major
major applications like Firefox (an open-source
browser), Google's Chrome, YouTube+G-mail.

Tip: to make a hard drive inaccessible,
       encrypt it+discard the encryption key.


Encryption
Use encryption to PROTECT your drives+folders.
Should you forget your password, the recovery key
(Make several copies.) can be used as a backup.
Note: rather than encrypting the
          used space of a drive, it's
          better to encrypt the entire
          drive.
