-1. The official Tails documentation is less wrong than this repository.
-2. Most warnings when using Tails that you will see are there for an reason
-   and are directed for their end users. You may not care because of your
-   threat model or because you are just testing an OS to run on untrusted
-   hardware, not-so-friendly internet or to deal with offline cryptographic
-   operations
+1. **The official Tails documentation is less wrong than this repository.**
+2. **The official Tails documentation and usage with friendly GUIs instead
+   of kung-fu scripting is likely to be less complex than use this repository**
+    - Do not blame Tails because this repository seems make things hard.

+     or to deal with offline cryptographic operations
+4. **Tails can run from crappy cheap USB sticks resonable fine compared to
+   most live Linux Distros**
+    - As reference, the tests made by the initial author where made on a
+      4 USD dolar, 64GB USB stick (around 25MB/s read, 5-7MB/s write) from
+      Aliexpress. (free shipping)
+    - Take this as reference (an consider that the initial author
+      intentionally was doing stress tests and trying to break things)
+      before blame Tails.
+5. **Tails, if have to fail, is likely to in ways that actually protect
+   security and privacy**
+    - User don't have option to create non-encrypted persistance. Tails
+      itself may be singe 1.2GB file unencrypted, but near everyting else
+      user create would be either on RAM or encrypted.
+6. **Crappy cheap USB sticks can fail. But if they do, is likely to be on
+   writte operations but is more likely than not possible to recover**
+    - If you is implementing custom software, consider running from RAM
+      and rsync back to disc from time to time. This not only will be
+      faster but make your USB lasts longer.
+        - Not all sofware use /tmp. For example
+          `docs/vscode-portable-setup.sh` freeze sometimes if running not
+          from RAM.
