Re: [Trisquel-users] Your privacy strategy/todo list for a minimal install
I agree, it's just that in what I personally do online, there's a lot of waste of time that I could use off the computer. So if I understand, Tor provides full anonymity/invisibility, yet there's the trouble of malicious exit nodes, and it being slower. This doesn't sound reliable. A VPN has to be trusted, but it's faster. Another VPN downside is that it will reveal that I'm online, and that I use a VPN. But is that even a downside for the average user? Nope. Now if it's actually possible to use VPN through Tor on GNU/Linux, that would be the best, but slow. So in the end, Who cares if it's known that I'm online or not? That I use a VPN could be problematic in some countries though, since it could be illegal. A VPN sounds good. Tor by itself isn't too reliable, and that's only to gain full ninja stealth anonymity (not even revealing whether I'm online or not). More suitable for secret agent level journalism, away from home on disposable hardware, while leaving the phone at home. I'm open to another argumentation, but this makes sense to me. Tor poperly used is only for specific situations, or else the average user is using it the wrong way. Oh, and to connect to websites that know my name (like my bank), I would disconnect both the VPN and Tor.

The GRUB password is mostly useless. GRUB's documentation - https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Security - says: By default, the boot loader interface is accessible to anyone with physical access to the console: anyone can select and edit any menu entry, and anyone can get direct access to a GRUB shell prompt. For most systems, this is reasonable since anyone with direct physical access has a variety of other ways to gain full access, and requiring authentication at the boot loader level would only serve to make it difficult to recover broken systems. However, in some environments, such as kiosks, it may be appropriate to lock down the boot loader to require authentication before performing certain operations. So, just remove this useless password: comment (with a leading #) the lines of /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD that are not already commented; execute 'sudo update-grub'

[Trisquel-users] Re : PCManFM: Not authorized to perform operation
Hello, I've got exactly the same problem with a Dell latitude D-500 with Trisquel 7. I succesfully mounted the windows partition with the above command, but the user will need to be able to mount it with the simple graphical tools. How can this be done ?

[Trisquel-users] Re : Your privacy strategy/todo list for a minimal install
Believe it or not, a few years ago, I said to a friend that I wanted to stay away from screens as much as possible. Now I'm studying/working with those damn screens... But I definitely want to keep web browsing to the minimum. The essential, even. Mainly to get info/knowledge.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Your privacy strategy/todo list for a minimal install
I just watched the talk (very interesting), and fired up panopticlicks from IceCat: There is some data indeed, but I wonder how that can be useful (besides that it defines my machine by this pattern). Though I understand that the point is to leave some trace in order to not stand out. The data is very limited. If there was a way to spoof this kind of data by throwing random info instead... I wonder how doable it can be though.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Screen resolution
Thank you very much responses :) I'm going to try solution of downgrading kernel. The problem which appeared with this solution is fact that how to tell grub (2.0.2) which kernel I would like to use?. When I select (advanced options...) or press 'e' for edit I got a prompt for username and password but it always throw me away. Of course I think I'm using systems valid username/pass. Maybe, I'm not going the right way. If so please to guide me. otherhow:)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Your privacy strategy/todo list for a minimal install
Stay away form the internet? No! It's like saying don't go out and stay in your home because out there there are a lot of dangerous things I won't stop using internet and doing whatever I want to do, saying whatever I want to say just because the Big Brother is listening. Protect yourself the best you can and express yourself freely and fuck big brother!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Screen resolution
The GRUB credentials for your install (randomized at install time) are at /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD
