Thanks, but no thanks [Kudos to Qubes and Kicksecure/Whonix, but not confident enough to use them]

@qubes_is_frustration

@unman said the time sync fetching from sys-net can also be used to fingerprint Qubes OS, although I don’t see how that is possible; he never replied to people seeking further explanation.

What are the Privacy Implications of NTP Requests (time sync) and how to mitigate them?

Continuing the discussion from Prevent Qubes OS clearnet leaks: Of course. I set clockVM as downstream qube,(if at all), and block update checks from sys-net and sy-firewall. I also set the firewall to block any traffic originating from those infrastructure qubes. I never presume to speak for the Qubes team. When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.

Enjoy reading the topic ahead of me.
