..setnet.sh works nicely, but it and wicd should check for unchanged
default passwords and _refuse_ to go online until you do the "passwd
passwd devuan ||passwd heads " dance, espescially since we're here
because we don't trust systemd endpoint security in e.g. Tails-2.12.

..scaring them into changing the default passwords with horror stories
does not work, it's too damned convenient, brutality is warranted here,
make them change the default passwords before letting them online.

..do leave the default passwords available with a "no-persistant" boot
option, especially heads-0.2 users may be in a hurry and cannot be
expected to have the time or skill or even the presence of mind to
learn the finer points of zsh commandline history preservation and
"awesome awesome" when facing government etc "shock and awe" tactics.

..good people might die when they run ("into") these death traps.
The only 2 endpoint security problems with Tails-2.12 I'm aware of,
is it runs Gnome and on systemd. Edward Snowden et al trusts it.

..heads-0.2.1 onwards needs to be newbie-safe, to be safe online.

..unless you use heads-0.2+ to pick up chicks, you wanna have it look
like some boring old web cafe Wintendo, and hide in the big masses of
Wintendo users.
Hide your persistence or gtomb images among embarrasing porn movies,
they also make great keys and cover-up story starters. ;o)

..heads users may also want https://guardianproject.info/apps/ style
tools, e.g. from https://github.com/guardianproject and tutorials on
those tools installed so they can learn to use them offline, being
offline is safer.

..also, a 32bit option, 64bit software does not run on 32bit junk,
and people who need heads-0.2.1 etc, badly enough, cannot be expected
to enjoy the luxury of 64bit hardware wherever they run off to.
