Old forum links in posts

[Quser59]

If I go to an old topic containing links to old forum posts, as the links are static they have retained the old domain; and, for me at-least, the old domain does not redirect - requiring manual link rewriting.

Hardening entry mechanisms and implementations

a concept i hope to be pursued is a addition of hardening on the entry mechanism in qubes as spoken of here Qubes Duress - Deniable Qubes Instalation - #6 by Sven possible enhancements to plausible deniability could include the use of “duress passcodes” used to erase disks upon submitting, the in house creation of a hardware tool similar to Yubi Key, or the implementation of hidden volumes in combination with duress passcodes. if it can be denied that a disk is qubes to begin with this is a str…

An idea: a USB device that holds the key in a secure element (specialized crypto chip), which itself is secured with a password so in normal usage it would work like a standard 2FA … you need the USB key and the password to decrypt the laptops hard drive. The twist: when entering the duress password the USB device irreversibly deletes the key (secure elements already have this function when they detect attempts to access the silicon). So unless the adversary can clone the secure element, …

This is not a major issue for me, but it may hinder other users in navigation - I can think of two relatively simple solutions:

1. Automatically rewrite all links in the forum containing:‘qubes-os.discourse.group’ to ‘forum.qubes-os.org’
2. Maintain a redirect for qubes-os.discourse.group to forum.qubes-os.org (if this is possible?)

Hi @deeplow and @michael ,

Thanks to @Quser59 for the report.

1. Automatically rewrite all links in the forum containing:‘ qubes-os.discourse.group ’ to ‘ forum.qubes-os.org ’

The hosting providers just re-ran this. And on that particular post it’s now fixed. If you see anything else, please let us know.
