{An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for 
argumentum ad hominem, means responding to arguments by attacking a 
person's character, rather than to the content of their arguments.}

access list.

{Whonix is a Debian GNU/Linux based security-focused Linux distribution. 
It aims to provide privacy, security and anonymity on the internet. The 
operating system consists of two virtual machines, a "Workstation" and a 
Tor "Gateway", running Debian GNU/Linux. All communication are forced 
through the Tor network to accomplish this.}

NOT about Linux.

{Whonix is an operating system focused on anonymity, privacy and 
security. It's based on the Tor anonymity network, Debian GNU/Linux and 
security by isolation. DNS leaks are impossible, and not even malware 
with root privileges can find out the user's real IP. }

I ham medically advised that I may tend to some Asperger syndrome.

{Aspie score: 105 of 200;

Neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 92 of 200;

I have both Aspie and neurotypical traits.}

I had excerpted one 20th of of the content at the following URL!

I score highly for openness to experience.

{People high in openness are motivated to seek new experiences and to 
engage in self-examination. Structurally, they have a fluid style of 
consciousness that allows them to make novel associations between 
remotely connected ideas.}

Thank you for providing that.

{Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the 
equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard 
for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both 
themselves and the others on the project.}
