I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Is there a way to view anything and everything that is sent via WiFi? For instance, the picture on this topic? Could I go into my router and it has a source of where it originated and where it was sent and what it is?

I'll start with touchscreen laptops, especially when they aren't even stupid 2-in-1s. Also 15 inch 2-in-1s, who thought that would be a good idea?

OK, this is how things are going.

When I enter into IRC, some people whom I suspect they are real hackers know everything about my location, the pages I visit and my Internet activity (the things I download, etc). I can GUARANTEE that the only thing I do is entering into the server where IRC channels are.

These are my theories so-far:

1st) When entering into those servers, one is literally entering into a monitored PC which makes a registry of the PCs who enter and the date time when they did; the entrance to those servers is hacked with some man-in-the-middle software to monitoriing all the activity; this MitM was installed by any of these people.

2nd) When I enter there, this people just open a conversation chat by saying something like "Hi!", or "Hello"; once the message has been sent, they can -with any software I don't know- scan the IP of the destination server (my PC in this case) and thus, port scanning and geolocating the IP; once this has been done, they can connect both PCs with a RAT program and finally, remote viewing all my activity.

>Inb4 you're paranoid / you told them your data first

If you're about to say this, please do me a favor and literally rot in Hell forever. I already told that I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, AND IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE GUESSING AND MATCHING VARIOUS IPS COMPLETELY SEPARATED IN TIME RELATED TO USERS THAT TOLD NOTHING TO ANYONE.

Who can't wait for the 16 and 32 core Zen chips? Intel's 20 core (10 per CPU) dual Xeons aren't that far ahead in a benchmark that scales into the hundreds of cores.
