Does it increase security or is it just plain NSA agent sitting in your pc?

Also, NSA has planted backdoors in Intel and AMD chips. If the only truly secure option now is raspberry + snowdenOS?

>>51898032

Asus C201 (ARMv7) + libreboot + ATH9K_HTC net. Debian has an armhf port done that works fine. XFCE. Totally blobless.

Broadcom/rasp is not a good base.

I doubth they put backdoors there, code has been audited and there's rule not to shit where you eat
>>51898032
>raspberry
>closedsource bootloader
>binary blobs everywhere
rpi isn't really an option
but there are some thruly opensource machines with ARM cores
>>
>>51898032
afaik AM3+ too old for backdoors

SELinux really useless, how much real vulnerabilities it stoped ? 0
>>
>>51899618
properly configured SELinux would prevent the BASH bug that got famous some time ago

>>51899667
>real vulnerabilities

>>51899114
>opensource machines
No such thing as open source hardware. OSS is trustless thanks to hash functions. Chips can't be hashed.
>>
>>51897997
selinux is actually pretty usefull.. and i don't think theres any piece of code on this planet that has been audited more often than selinux
>>
Security. It's for mandatory access control in servers. It's open sources and one of the most reviewed things on the planet.

You can also simply compile your kernel without it. This >>51898032
however, is probably true. Nothing to stop NSA bugging your every piece of hardware.

Can't be more secure than having NSA on-site.
