As I wrote in the context(!) that my quote above was taken from,
sensible configuration defaults are those which bring privacy-related
functionality that is already mainstream among geeks.
Is it mainstream among geeks to use Tor with its default configuration
it the official Debian package?
If it is, then great: Just say that! If not, then please tell what
needs adjusting!
Since I {joined] this FreedomBox project I have [encouraged] to propose
concrete package selections and concrete configurations, but seen 0
(zero) of those so far. If they appeared and I just didn't see them,
then please do point me to them: I believe such concrete proposals are
really really helpful for progress.
...and no, you don't need a DreamPlug to do that. Just use *any* Debian
system!
