Tails, or The Amnesic Incognito Live System, is a security-focused Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at preserving privacy and anonymity. It connects to the Internet exclusively through the anonymity network Tor. The system is designed to be booted as a live DVD or live USB, and leaves no digital footprint on the machine unless explicitly told to do so. It can also be run as a virtual machine, with some additional security risks. The Tor Project provided financial support for its development in the beginnings of the project, and continues to do so alongside numerous corporate and anonymous sponsors.

    channelling pipework in walls connecting to a central valve head

    Hi all, I've purchased 3 x vertical rads (H:1800mm x 600mm). I couldn't stand looking at the surface mounted pipes running from ceiling to floor, so I decided to bury the pipework into the walls.

    Recently moved into a house and found the flexi hoses to the mixer tap have been kinked and pressure is down. I intend to replace them as they've probably been weakened. I've heard most plumbers tend to dislike flexi hoses, but what make or type would be the best to go for? It's a mains...

    Soldering copper tails in modern houses.

    A lot of modern houses have plastic pipes with copper tails, so behind the plasterboard would be a pushfit fitting with a rubber seal. If the copper tails need modifying then how close to the push fit fitting could you solder without heat transferring along the pipe and damaging the seal...

    Quarter turn whb mixer tap

    I have recently refurbished an upstairs bathroom installing a single hole mixer tap with 12mm tails. The mains cold is OK but the domestic hot flow is pathetic compared with what it was with a pair of traditional taps. Is the problem the 12mm tails or the fact that the "quarter turn" design is...

    Kitchen Taps

    Evening Folks, After a bit of advice on Kitchen Taps tonight. I went out to a leaking tap the other day, water running from the underside of the tap - as if the tail hadn't been tightened enough. The problem I had was that I couldn't undo the big brass nut to get the tap off. The sink was a...

    I need 8mm copper monobloc tails.

    The title says it all. My customer bought a new monobloc kitchen mixer tap but wants copper tails, not the flexis as supplied.

    15m copper tails

    Need to cut down 15m copper tails, it is a mono tap for a small corner basin, and the tails are too long, as the copper is soft and flexible is it best to use a small hacksaw rather then a pipe cutter.Regards

    Offset radiator tails?

    Anyone come across any/know where to get some? Thinking something like those offset connections you get with some bar mixer showers, but in rad tail form. The reason is that the tiler on a job I'm working on has cut his tiles tight to the pipes but 10mm too far apart, so the towel rail I'm...
