# COMMUNICATION
Here lies several ways to communicate through different networks.

1. [BROWSER](#browser)  
1.1. [GNU ICECAT](#gnu-icecat)  
1.2. [ADDONS](#addons)  
1.3. [ABOUT\:CONFIG](#about-:config)  
2. [E-MAIL](#e\-mail)  
2.1. [E-MAIL STORAGE FORMATS](#gnu-icecat)  
2.2. [MUTTRC](#addons)  
3. [USENET](#usenet)  

## BROWSER

### GNU ICECAT
* Download from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnuzilla/
* Unpack the tarball
* As ROOT, copy and rename the folder as /opt/icecat
* ln -s /opt/icecat/icecat /usr/bin/icecat

### ADDONS
These addons worked excellent to cover any fingerprinting, until Mozilla decided to break things since Firefox 52.
* (Cross-)Site Request, Anti-XSS, Trackers, Referer, Cookies: [uMatrix](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umatrix/)
* Security Settings: [Privacy Settings](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-settings/)
* User-Agent: [Random Agent Spoofer](https://github.com/dillbyrne/random-agent-spoofer), [User-Agent JS Fixer](http://legacycollector.org/firefox-addons/378075/index.html)
* Plugin Enumeration: [Disable plugin enum](https://github.com/dillbyrne/random-agent-spoofer/issues/283) (see Mechazawa's script, and install with greasemonkey)
* Content Delivery Blocker: [Decentraleyes](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/decentraleyes/)
* URI Leak: [No Resource URI Leak](https://notabug.org/desktopd/no-resource-uri-leak)
* Canvas-Fingerprinting: [Canvas Defender](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/no-canvas-fingerprinting/)
* SSL (strict HTTPS): [HTTPS by default](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/https-by-default/)
* URL Deobfuscator: [Pure URL](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pure-url/)
* Google Redirection: [Google search link fix](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-search-link-fix/)

### ABOUT\:CONFIG
These tips prevent overflow your root directory or getting constantly write and delete to try and kill your drive.
* Go to _about\:config_
* Put a 0 to everything that can write to the disk.
* Limit ram memory and also turn off syncing ect.
* Make it read only.
* If you need to save things have a seperate chroot with a seperate physical drive and make that your downloads folder.

## E-MAIL

TODO:
* Set cock.li
* Configure mutt
* Create account.
* Set mutiple accounts
* Send mail
* Send attachment
* To cancel an action in mutt hit CTRL+g
* Use notmuch
* set i2p-bote

### E-MAIL STORAGE FORMATS
* MAILDIR = several files
* MBOX = one file for everything

### MUTTRC
Example config with cock.li and gmail. Not quite complete but can work if tweaked.
```
#---------------------------------------
# ~/.mutt/muttrc settings mutt 1.5.20
#---------------------------------------
#
#---------------------------------------
# One-Time Previous Steps
#---------------------------------------
# Generate keys with proper user
# $ gpg --gen-key
#
# Make proper directory with file:
# $ mkdir ~/.mutt && touch ~/.mutt/.passwd
#
# Put the following inside ~/.mutt/.passwd:
# set cock_pass="password"
# set gmail_pass="password"
#
# Encrypt with proper user:
# $ gpg -r USER1 -e ~/.mutt/.passwd
# $ shred ~/.mutt/.passwd
# $ rm -f ~/.mutt/.passwd
#
#---------------------------------------
# Process the password file first (the "|" pipes to Mutt)
#---------------------------------------
#source "gpg -d ~/.mutt/.passwd.gpg |"
#
#---------------------------------------
# Account Hooks
#---------------------------------------
account-hook . 'unset imap_user imap_pass' # unset first!
account-hook 'imaps://mail.cock.li:993/' "\
             set imap_user=USER1@cock.li imap_pass=`cat ~/.mutt/.cock ` " # imap_pass=$my_cock_pass "
#account-hook 'imaps://USER2@imap.gmail.com/' "\
#              set imap_user=USER2 imap_pass=$my_gmail_pass "
#
#----------------------------------------
# Folders, mailboxes and folder hooks
#----------------------------------------
#
# Setup for USER1:
#----------------------------------------
set folder = imaps://mail.cock.li:993/
mailboxes =Inbox =Sent =Junk =Trash
folder-hook 'imaps://mail.cock.li:993' " \
        set     folder=imaps://mail.cock.li:993/ \
                record=+Sent \
                smtp_url=smtps://$imap_user@mail.cock.li:465 \
                signature=~/.mutt/USER1.sig \
                from='USER1 <USER1@cock.li> ' \
                realname='USER1' "
#
#----------------------------------------
# Setup for USER2:
#----------------------------------------
#set folder="imaps://USER2@imap.gmail.com/"
#mailboxes =INBOX =[Gmail]/Drafts =[Gmail]/'Sent Mail' =[Gmail]/Spam
#folder-hook 'imaps://USER2@imap.gmail.com' " \
#        set     folder=imaps://USER2@imap.gmail.com/ \
#                postponed=+[Gmail]/Drafts \
#                record=+[Gmail]/'Sent Mail' \
#                smtp_url=smtps://USER2@smtp.gmail.com \
#                smtp_pass=$my_gmail_pass \
#                signature=~/.mutt/USER2.sig \
#                from='USER2 <USER2@gmail.com> ' \
#                realname='USER2' "
#
#----------------------------------------
# Macros to make life easier
#----------------------------------------
macro index <esc>1 "y1<return><return>" # ESC+1 takes to first INBOX
#macro index <esc>2 "y5<return><return>" # ESC+2 takes to the second
#
#---------------------------------------
# Mail-check preferences
#---------------------------------------
set timeout=60	#Check for mail every minute
set mail_check=5
#
#---------------------------------------
# Set preferred editor
#---------------------------------------
set editor='vim + -c "set textwidth=72" -c "set wrap" -c "set nocp" -c "?^$"'
# EOF
```  

## USENET
The software used is __slrn__ ( with __slrnpull__ and + __slrnface__).

* 1. Create slrn.rc:
```
set username "desired_username"
set hostname "desired_hostname.invalid"
set replyto "some_name <email@example.com>"
charset display utf8
charset outgoing utf8
setkey group "set_prefix_argument(4); () = select_group();" " "
```  

* 2. Set $NNTPSERVER to usenet provider (set in config file):  
`NNTPSERVER='server_name' && export NNTPSERVER`  

* 3. Set $EDITOR to preferred text editor (set in slrn.rc file):  
`set editor_command "vim '+set tw=72' +%d '%s'"`  

* 4. Create .jnewsrc  
`touch .jnewsrc`  

* 5. Create configuration
`slrn --create`  

* 6. Download a list of newsgroups  
`slrn -d`
