The missing word is "boob", for the record.

Bah, real power users only need a magnet and a pin.

Linux is whatever the Linux Mark Institute says it is.

You don't need reproducible builds. You can get by if you trust whoever compiled it, like your distro's maintainers or the pidgin developers.

The risk of mis-ordering your layers is a security issue.

There are two ways to layer a VPN and tor:

  1. Tor over VPN; or
  2. VPN over Tor.

In the first option, you gain little. Tor already encrypts your traffic, so your ISP can't see inside them. Technically, Tor over a VPN hides the fact that you're using Tor from your ISP, but Tor's snowflake does something similar if you need that.

In the second option, you're revealing your VPN account information, which could theoretically be associated back to you. Tor adds nothing over just a VPN in this case.

Don't mix tor plus VPN.

If you're using tor browser without tor for some reason, carry on.

Copyleft means: "if you modify the program and share it, you also have to include the source code for your modifications."

The owner of the copyright (usually the developers or their employer) can still change the license later.

First, same advice as everyone else. Change your passwords. Password managers are great. I like keepass.

Regarding the email, this looks like a Hotmail/Microsoft/Outlook account. Their security page sucks ass. It lists every time someone unsuccessfully tries to log in. "Unsuccessfully" as in they tried your email with an incorrect password. Of course hackers are going to try to break into your account. You really only need to worry about successful logins that aren't you.
