Discussions on common pitfalls:
- How does Tails protect someone (forensics, traffic analysis)
- How does Tails fail to protect users
- Persistant storage with Tails
- Tails with or without VPN
- Using proxies with Tails
- Storing crypto on tails without losing it
These are common questions I see.
That's an excellent start for the FAQ.
I make wikis and learn while I'm doing it. I've never run Tails.
Persistent storage is in the Tails Install Guide on the banner.
One thing you should know about tails is that it defaults to the user, amnesia. This particular user is not a member of sudo, so it is not allowed to execute tasks that require administrative permission. You can get around that during the startup. Click Additional settings at the Tails Greeter and then click Administration password. Type and verify the new administrator password and click Add.

Once you start up Tails, click on (Applications) in the top left-hand corner of the desktop, move the pointer to (Tails), then click (Persistent Storage).
The user has to set a passphrase there and create persistent storage. After the persistent storage is created, toggles allow the user to select which applications they want to persist after reboot.
It has Install Guides for Session and Retoswap.
It will default to amnesia but you can set the "administrator" password on the welcome screen. Seems like this is still the case: https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password/index.en.html
The persistant storage is just from the menu bar, exactly as you described. It's very specific though on what you can encrypt in the persistent storage: https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/configure/index.en.html
Most people will want to use the folder functionality to backup things because they can use pgp to encrypt the data, and also save the pgp keys from the "toggle". For Session or anything else not configured for persistent storage, backing up to the persistent storage folder is the best choice .. unless someone says otherwise.
If I use the same one, I only have to update the same wiki page for both subs.
Many things will be shared from /d/Guides to the other three subs.
We have many more eyes on our Guides to tell us if they need updating. Any sub on Dread can link to them.
It keeps the wikis in the subs much cleaner. The number of guides in /d/Guides doesn't matter.
