[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA
Open source provide the feature that everybody can look into the source code. That's great. But as far as I can see only very few people have the time, the skill, and the will to understand and audit critical components of GNU/Linux. G4JC, it's good that you mentioned Grsecurity and provide the link. Grsecurity is one great step towards a more secure operating system as insanitybit.com said: The PaX team and Spender are consistently providing mitigation techniques that work to remove entire classes of vulnerabilities. Grsecurity/PaX has basically been ten steps ahead of every software security implementation, so watch that project if you want to know what defense is going to look like in a few years. Many people are talking about security. But if you are trying to search Grsecurity in this forum, you will find only two posts. That's the reality.
[Trisquel-users] Alternatives web search
Hello! I found a site that spoke about 4 options when surfing to the internet. This is the site: http://www.brighthub.com/internet/google/articles/93816.aspx And the 4 options listed are: Ixquick www.ixquick.com StartPage https://startpage.com/ Hide My Ass! http://hidemyass.com/ DuckDuckGo https://duckduckgo.com/ One of the comentaries appeared: DuckDuckGo is NOT the best search engine. In my settings, I did NOT select a region (which is the default setting), yet they were always throwing up ads (sponsored links) that pinpointed my city. I would search for plumbing and they'd post an ad for a plumbing service in my town! I also have Disconnect.me and Ghostery installed, but I've stopped using DuckDuckGo. They are no better than Gurrgle It makes me think. What you guys think about it? There is any true trustworthy web search? If not why? Thanks in advance to all. Best Regards
Re: [Trisquel-users] Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA
The big problem here is Debian. They must to include in they distribution all security programs and encryptions by default. They have a big responsibility because all major distributions are based on it inclusive Ubuntu. But they don't care at all about these aspects .I wonder why. Maybe Julian Assange is right. This is what Debian must do: (Jacob Appelbaum: Free software for freedom, surveillance and you ) http://media.libreplanet.org/u/zakkai/m/free-software-for-freedom-surveillance-and-you/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE92vJn_Ls8
Re: [Trisquel-users] Alternatives web search
Yes, there is a truely trustworthy web search. It's called Yacy (http://yacy.net/en/index.html) but unfortunately the search results are not even reometly comparable with Google and other big search engines.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Alternatives web search
I also have Disconnect.me and Ghostery installed Ghostery is proprietary, no wonder you might have all kinds of issues... The server sees your IP addy and can guess your location based on that. I believe any search engine is better than g from the privacy view point.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Alternatives web search
If you want to be anonymous, there are two reliable options: - Use a computer that is shared by many people, and where you don't identify yourself (such as one at a library). - Use Tor (most easily, the Tor Browser Bundle). If you're anonymous in this way, it doesn't really matter if the search engine is tracking you, because it isn't connected to you.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA
Julian never stated that OS [Debian] in the video interview Lie. Debian is specifically mentioned, at 21m and 47s in the interview, in a segment that can start at the following time mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFFTYRWB0Tk#t=21m21s Concerning the validity of the title of the posted article, The term owned, from what I can understand of modern-day English slang, is now used to mean that someone has obtained a partial or temporary control - or victory - over something - or someone - and, that has, therefore, defeated it's integrity, or defences - or rhetoric. (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=owned) (Look on YouTube for videos containing this term.)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA
Jacob Appelbaum... :) haha The present-day developer of a program created, and that is still financed, by the US government. :) (https://trisquel.info/en/forum/how-use-tor-trisquel#comment-26792) If there's any Free Software program here, that is actually owned by the NSA, and the likes, is the US Government's/Jacob Appelbaum's Tor network, known not to be secure - and that, therefore, serves as a very good trap for the more naïve. (I wouldn't listen to any advice coming from that US Government-helped hacker, that also works for the controlled corporate media...)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA
Not true. The people at WikiLeaks are denying that it was one of them who stated what is said in the title of that article - and, they're not necessarily refuting that author's /interpretation/ of the facts (which, as I stated below - https://trisquel.info/en/forum/julian-assange-debian-owned-nsa#comment-51971 - I consider to be a valid one, when the use of the term owned is clarified).

[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA
Jacob Appelbaum lives in germany because he worked with the german news magazine der Spiegel about the Merkel's phone and he fears to flight back to the US. He is one of few people who had direct access to the NSA files leaked by Edward Snowden and reported many times about their contents (e.g. on 30c3). Jacob Appelbaum is a great supporter for open source and strong encryption. He also continually tries to get more money from third parties, so that Tor does not depent on NSA's money anymore. It's unbelievable you trust Infowars but not someone who did so much for the free community and the free society. Maybe you work for the NSA to discredit people like Jacob. BTW: Edward Snowden used tails, which is a tor live CD, to hide for the NSA. But maybe you don't trust Edward Snowden either. Even in one of the talks of the leaked NSA files it says that tor stinks and that they probably will never be capable of anonymise all Tor users.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA
Well, ignoring that accusation made to myself, from someone who's profile reveals nothing about him or herself... So do the people who plant bugdoors in OpenSSL, and similar software, are great supporters for open source and strong encryption... Infowars has certainly done much more than Jacob Appelbaum, for the free community and the free society - since, there's much more to fight for in society, in terms of Freedom, than in the mere domain of which computer programs should people use. All that Appelbaum does for society, is: - To say, to the people who fear the US government's intrusion on their lives, for them to try to hide from Big Brother - which, as I've previously said, in here, is a counterproductive attitude to take (https://trisquel.info/en/forum/how-use-tor-trisquel#comment-26804). (While Infowars, and the likes, say for people to fight this type of outrageous surveillance, by neutralizing that same governmental threats to our privacy - which I consider to be the correct attitude, for one to have.) - And, also, to work for a clearly controlled mass media outlet, involved in the process of manipulating and lying to the masses, in order to keep them passive, obedient, and not a real threat to the same governmental-corporate interests that violate our privacy - as it is clearly shown by this publication's recent cooperation with Edward Snowden. Snowden is an obvious CIA/NSA puppet (with an incredible story, only to be swallowed by the more naïve - and by those not aware of what a fake desertion, often portrayed by intelligence assets, is - and) who's trying to control the debate about corporate-governmental intrusions in our lives. (And, for people with no, to very little, experience in activism - and, that know nothing about the counter-actions that the mentioned corporate-governmental interests take, in order to fight its opposition - the key-terms used to describe this kind of operations, and that you should inform yourselves about, are described here: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/rms-alex-jones-tues-mar-11-2014#comment-50771) And, for Snowden to say that he uses a distribution based on the US Government's Tor network (implying that it's a safe one, that other people should use) it's just another clear indication of his true nature (https://trisquel.info/en/forum/rms-alex-jones-tues-mar-11-2014#comment-50798).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA
Trisq Thank You for that accurate explanation, Like you said A corner has been turned. It's going to be harder now, and perhaps less fun, and less innocent. We must be more diligent and savvy, but I do ask this questions? HOW? When? What? Where? to start identifying the trust worthy? This issue has become the Hydra and specially, this old can of worms we don't want to be transmitting securely with. Thank You again.

[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA
It is usual that bugs are produced by people who write code, especially in a program as complex as openssl. In my opinion it is not legitimate to claim that someone's bug is a backdoor. One must keep in mind that Debian (as well as many other distributions) was never designed to give security the topmost priority. Even Linus Torvald said that he 'consider[s] security bugs to be just normal bugs' and he 'is not interested in adding even the option of very useful security features that can help prevent buffer overflow exploitation'. I disagree with you about the primary goal of Tor and I have a different point of view concerning news magazines. But I have no desire to argue with you about these issues. I think your judgment about other people is too strong.
[Trisquel-users] ViewTube in Midori
I've got a new laptop, installed KDE (admittedly not by installing Triskel, but by installing the packages I want 1-by-1), and tried to play YouTube videos without Abrowser, but with Midori instead. Does anybody know how to watch YouTube videos, with Viewtube, in Midori? The VLC plug-in simply won't start for me The Totem plug-in seems to only work in Abrowser I don't know how to make ViewTube use gecko-mediaplayer or Dragon Player.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA
Concerning bugs, I know that bugs are a usual occurrence, when writing computer code. And, even more, when we're talking about complex programs - as most programs, nowadays, increasingly are. If the bugs that are discovered in specific security features and programs, are there on purpose, or not... Given the very serious possibility that they might be (due to the obvious interest that some very rich and powerful people have, that these Free Software programs are not effectively secure)... It's something that we have to judge on a case by case basis, I believe. The author of the posted article thinks that some of the bugs discovered in the SSL and SSH protocols are there on purpose. And, I strongly suspect so, also. But, since that, even if they were indeed there on purpose, the people who put them there are never going to admit it - and, there's no way to prove it - we'll have to stay in the field of (strong or weak) suspicions, and/or possible interpretations. (Which everyone, like is the case of the author of that article, has a right to express.) I don't doubt that the Debian project (that I happen to like very much) is a serious/honest one. But, what I do know (and, from experience) is that every activist/progressive organization of an open nature, can be easily infiltrated, by people who have the required knowledge to participate in them. And, given the obvious interest that the powers-that-be have to also infiltrate this type of Free Software organizations... I'll let it for everyone to draw their own conclusions (or suspicions). :) Concerning the Tor network, Its story doesn't add up. Since that, if this was a tool built in order to escape the US government's surveillance apparatus, why would it then have been developed by the US government itself, and still be financially supported by it, to this day? (But, again... I'll let everyone draw their own conclusions.) Concerning the mass media, I also speak from experience, when I evaluate them (like I did) based on their behaviour. Since that, having been a citizen journalist myself, I used to follow their work pretty closely, noticing how they would hide and manipulate facts, and only give publicity to the those issues and people that were in their (corporate) interest to call people's attention to. And so, I've come to be able to easily spot, nowadays, if I'm in the presence of a media outlet controlled by the big economic interests, or not. (But, this is something that I would have to argue much more about, in order to explain it better. And, since this is not the place to, I'll also leave it at that...)
