Have you ever tried to build Tails from source?
Tails is a funny sidequest that leads to a whole different set of problems. in line with the theme of this thread of "trusting nothing", have you ever tried to build Tails from source? just to see how it works, and what happens.
you should try it.
hint: the Tails build process is actually broken. nobody has been able to build it for years. when you go through it, you discover it is a hideous patchwork of very insecure programming languages, tools, 3rd party modules. i tried to build Tails and failed. after i saw all the Ruby dependencies it uses, i was horrified because there is no way to keep all of that infrastructure secure from the NSA. Tails is a giant psyop. it's all backdoored. we don't actually know who is building Tails and releasing the binaries. we just have to Trust in Trust that they are not compromised.
