Re: [Trisquel-users] Where can I learn to do my own scripts?
For the other links in this thread I could just right-click on the link and choose "save link as" and it saves as a pdf file. For Magic's links this did not work for me. Instead, click the link. If you use IceCat and have javascript enabled, the viewer will display the PDF and you can view or download using the viewer. If javascript is not enabled. The viewer loads, but the file is not displayed and the viewer's buttons don't work. However, if you right click on the empty player and choose "save as", then you can save it as a pdf. Will post again after I get a chance to look through these documents--so far they look great!

- E-readers, music players any other connected hardware really: get rid of those who are too intrusive. They need not be connected. What would I do in the bus without my Sansa Clip Zip running the 100% free RockBox firmware? Recently, e.g., I downloaded the videos in https://media.libreplanet.org/videos and converted them to Ogg with SoundConverter. Real example: unsafe Tor exit nodes. Just to be clear: running an exit node is not enough to de-anonymize anyone. Attacks are usually based on correlating the timing and sizes of the packets entering Tor and those exiting it. The more users of Tor the harder it gets.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Buck up using rsync
Any reason you want to use 'grsync'? Trisquel has an excellent backup utility (in "System settings"), which uses duplicity as a backend: incremental backup (only backup what has not been backup-up yet); compressed backup (faster and save space); integrated with the file manager (you revert to any previous version of the file/folder in about three clicks); periodic backup (or a notification if the external drive is not plugged); the oldest versions of the files are automatically removed if space is missing; very easy to use (choose where to backup and then use the graphical utility with two buttons: "backup" and "restore"); possible encryption; ...

Re: [Trisquel-users] Password Generator instead of a password manager
Oh, that script's pretty similar to a technique I used to use. I had a folder in ~/Documents/ called Passwords. There, I'd keep plain text files for each website. Each text file would have one line-- the line would say "Password:" and some random password I made up. I'd then check the sha256 hash of the fake password file and use the hash as my real password. If anyone checked the ~/Documents/Passwords folder they'd have thought that they actually listed my passwords, even though they didn't. :p

> For your last point I should point out that people should change their passwords regularly anyway. I disagree. The only time a password should normally changed is if it's compromised.

Re: [Trisquel-users] ZFS now available in Debian. Maybe its time to stop fighting it?
I think it is bad for them to host the non-free repositories. I can understand perhaps for firmware that is barely acceptable, but I do not think they can really say Debian is "completely free software", when they just don't enable the bad stuff by default. It doesn't mean we shouldn't use it. I don't have a problem just sticking to 'main' personally. But I think that it is more accurate to say the Debian kernel is " awaiting firmwares" and free software. I am not sure about this. I personally feel wary of the project's goals when they host the non-free software. I hope they ditch it or at least ditch all the non-free software other than firmware, like Fedora.

I should mention that you can use this with file names containing spaces: touch this\ is\ a\ test creates an empty file called "this is a test" there are three spaces and there are three '\' to escape them. In the example: he*llo you replace '*' with '\*' In the above example a ' ' is replaced with '\ ' You can see the shell do this automatically if after you created the file "this is a test" you list it with ls using autocompletion with the TAB key: ls this[TAB] Assuming you don't have any other files in the directory beginning with "this" you will see: ls this\ is\ a\ test

Re: [Trisquel-users] Password Generator instead of a password manager
Before I answer, I will tell you how I found the information. other than echo and read and variable names and control structures like 'if', there are appear to be two programs used: sha512sum | base64 -w 0 After reading the man page of both I saw at the end of the man page for sha512sum: SEE ALSO The full documentation for sha512sum is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and sha512sum programs are properly installed at your site, the command info coreutils 'sha512sum invocation' should give you access to the complete manual. so I open a terminal and type: info coreutils 'sha512sum invocation' From this manual I found the answer. Here is how you do that: type ? to find out commands to navigate the manual After you read about the sha commands you will see that they share the same syntax with md5. So go back (use ? if you don't know how) and read the md5 section and you will see this: If FILE contains a backslash or newline, the line is started with a backslash, and each problematic character in the file name is escaped with a backslash, making the output unambiguous even in the presence of arbitrary file names. so if I have a file name like he*llo it would be he\*llo if it was he\llo it becomes he\\llo

Re: [Trisquel-users] Buck up using rsync
-b, --backup With this option, preexisting destination files are renamed as each file is transferred or deleted. You can control where the backup file goes and what (if any) suffix gets appended using the --backup-dir and --suffix options. -From the man page for rsync I think this just renames a copy of each destination file so they don't get overwritten by mistake. If you have ever used Windows and download something more than once you get: file file(1) file(2) file(3) Or, using emacs it makes backups with ~ : file file~ But it is important that you RTFM or STFW or you may lose your data!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Password Generator instead of a password manager
Indeed we should change our passwords regularly and thats why I rather use your method. That way I can keep my passwords with me withoud the need to store them. Is kinda hard to change a password because I have 2 computers in my office and my laptop so it is a pain in the ass to change a password because i would have to save it somewhere, a usb or my owncloud server. And i don't really feel comfortable doing any of those. With your password generator is safer as even if someone would gain access to my files there won't be a place where to look at for my passwords. So I can change them constantly.

[Trisquel-users] If you could go back in time and talk to your former "owned" self
I was still thinking on the subject of : security, privacy, anonymity and software freedom (and hardware freedom in some ways). Here's my conclusion, after a couple of years: - First, I can't and won't ever go back to a proprietary OS/software in general. Never say never? Well, try me :) A non-libre OS is rigged, and it's been proven many times (examples: https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary-surveillance.html). It's relatively safe from other users (secure/private if you work for it), but not from companies. It's also rigid, and can force unacceptable limitations on the user (that's me). - It's possible to use non-libre hardware and still be safe, have privacy and be anonymous (if Snowden can do it that way, so can anyone). but AMT and other remote control tools are still unacceptable (even if realistically a limited number of people can make use of it, I suppose). So for most users, even if it's not a "real" threat, it's still not ok. Yet it's better than having non-libre hardware AND non-libre OS and software. - Security is rarely an issue, but it can always be improved. Mainly system hardening/reducing the attack surface. An average user don't really need it, though improving it can't hurt. - Privacy from other users and from companies takes some more work/education, even on a vanilla Trisquel and/or Replicant and other libre OS. Full disk encryption in case your machine is stolen, browser plugins (cookies, refferers, profile spoofing, checking requests, https, local emulation of files, ad blocking, no javascript...), specially if Javascript is on, properly checking software, e-mail encryption, Proper Tor BB behavior (no video/torrent/connecting to accounts unless created anonymously from the Tor network...), installing and using a VPN... Definitely not an exhaustive list, but it's a solid base IMHO. - Anonymity is still achievable on a non-free OS in a limited way (Tor), if no other means are available at hand in the moment, but it's obviously immensely better on a libre OS. About the hardware: - any hardware will work (minus the wifi problem sometimes. But since switching to Trisquel takes some effort anyway, it's a minor obstacle). - a Librebootable machine is best (eliminates the remote access threat). It is relatively affordable, and powerful enough for the average user. - More libre hardware (or maybe 100% free but I'm not sure) like that POWER8 motherboard and Neo900 are unfortunately luxury items. But I'm confident we'll find solutions, as more people become aware of all this. And maybe with some luck, someone will leak Intel programs, who knows :) - E-readers, music players any other connected hardware really: get rid of those who are too intrusive. For others, I guess turn the wifi off and hope for the best. Or use real paper books. - About tracking in general: smartphones, anything with a chip in it (public transportation card, maybe credit card, whatever), implants under the skin for the most idiotic ones... Well, you can simply make sure to not use them too often if that matters to you. I came to the conclusion that even if it's not acceptable to track people down (it doesn't even improve security against crime, as far as I know), I feel it's not as important as the rest since 90% of the time (arbitrary number obviously), people go from home to work, go buy some stuff, go meet other people (friends, family, whoever), and go back home. The data is useful for target advertising, and this bothers me though. But if you are a journalist (for example) that needs to go off the grid, then we're not talking about most people. And with some logic, there are obvious ways, like temporarily getting rid of the tracking sources when needed. Maybe there's more to it, but this makes sense to me. - Other users : after all, it's the weakest link in the communication chain. Fortunately, e-mail encryption works. But multiplying social medias isn't acceptable for most users, so Fecesbook and all this garbage will live on for now (even if it will be without me: e-mail is enough). What to answer to those who rightfully say that it's no big deal if companies know which music I listen to, which books I read etc. ? Easy: it's not about the isolated data or metadata, it's about the big picture that's made of all that data. Powerful entities having such files in their hands is only a disaster waiting to happen, even if you know very little about humanity's History. I think I reviewed it all. In essence, as most people can mainly own non-free hardware (since hardware that can be used with Libreboot or Replicant is ultimately limited in quantity), It's realistic to invite them to use free software anyway. Not using a phone is nearly impossible anymore for most people. But encrypted e-mails still work on non-libre phone OS. And living with e-mails on the go is something I'm willing to try, but it's not
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: alternative DE repos truly free?
Thank you for all your replies! I think I'll just sum up everything I understand: The PPAs one can add to one's sources as described in the documentation are not controlled by Trisquel or Canonical and therefore are not safe in regard to freedom. If one isn't happy with the default desktop environment it would hence be best to setup a netinstall and install one of the DEs available from the standard Trisquel repos like XFCE, KDE, LXDE, etc. to save oneself the pain of having to uninstall the default DE, which is some kind of GNOME flashback.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Password Generator instead of a password manager
Point 1 can be addressed by changing the script. For point 2, while the script always outputs passwords of the same length (unless changed) that wouldn't stop someone from remembering "Oh, on this box they require the password to only be 8 characters" and so only using the first 8 characters of the script's output. For point number 3 the hash doesn't actually contain the salt or string so there is nothing to crack that would conclusively reveal what they are/were. Attacks on cryptographic hash functions focus on finding more than one input that returns the same hash. MD5 has this problem today for example. SHA2 is safe but yes, who knows about the future? But: Even if SHA2 were as compromised in the future as MD5 is today, that is not in itself sufficient to let someone know what salt was used and begin generating their own passwords willy-nilly, even if multiple passwords were known. So they're back to guessing. But even in that event a fix is as simple as changing from a SHA2 to a SHA3 implementation once that's available (yes, that means changing passwords but see the last thing below about your last point.) And so, since they're back to guessing, passwords generated with this are subject to the same brute force problem that any (even a randomly generated) password would be. (At this time, brute forcing all possible possible combinations is easier than breaking the cryptographic hash itself.) For your last point I should point out that people should change their passwords regularly anyway. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Browser Tells DuckDuckGo I'm using Trisquel?

Re: [Trisquel-users] ZFS now available in Debian. Maybe its time to stop fighting it?
While there is a difference in how Canonical and the Debian Project are handling this: Canonical, as we all know, has it pre-compiled while the Debian Project provides source code that is compiled when someone installs the package. This difference doesn't actually matter. I'll call what the Debian Project is doing the "We'll Let The Users Do It" method. Let's put ZFS aside for a moment and remember some free software history. Think back to the days of Steve Jobs and Objective C. Another GPL-incompatible license was in use and the proposal was the also "We'll Let The Users Do It." That wasn't accepted as a way around the requirements to put it under a GPL-compatible license back then, and nothing has changed with the GPL that makes such an answer to GPL incompatibility acceptable now. The more important question is whether (and how) the software is intended to interface with each other. As I explained in the other thread, the fact that you need a bunch of files from the kernel to satisfy the #include directives in order to compile it at all, along with the fact that it uses internal kernel interfaces and not the system call interface all point to it being a part of/a derivative of the kernel and so subject to the GPL's requirements.

Re: [Trisquel-users] ZFS now available in Debian. Maybe its time to stop fighting it?
I suspect they write the CDDL so they can go after companies profiting from GNU/Linux systems with ZFS distributed. They obviously still want this as an option because they have not re-licensed it to GPL. So I think Canonical could be in for trouble, but regarding Debian I doubt it. Canonical is barely profitable but a lawsuit could kill it. It would be sad but I have little sympathy. It seems like Debian has a healthy future ahead so I would cry few tears.
Re: [Trisquel-users] ZFS now available in Debian. Maybe its time to stop fighting it?
Trisquel does not distribute anything that violates copyrights significantly. Things like emulators are a grey area, but court cases have shown that if such programs are made through reverse engineering they do not violate copyright; you can just play homebrew games or ROM images you ripped from disks or cartridges. ZFS is free software. On its own, where it isn't combined with GPL software (kernel) it is fine, but distributing it violates GPL and hence the copyright of the kernel. This would not be good to distribute. It's a grey area. This is about being consistent. If we want to support GPL and copyleft, we need to reject violations. I think that copyright law needs serious reform but as long as it still exists we must use copyleft to support freedom. ZFS (or lack thereof) will not makebor break the distribution. Just get over it. We don't want to be popular if it means compromising our ideals. By the way, the FSF is not a bloody church. Just use Ubuntu if you want ZFS so much, or a non FSF-affiliated distribution.

Re: [Trisquel-users] ZFS now available in Debian. Maybe its time to stop fighting it?
ZFS, as it is currently shipping in Ubuntu, opens it up to controversy since it is an enabled kernel module that Canonical ships with each kernel update. There is also another method of getting ZFS by manually installing the packages which more people are comfortable with like how Debian is doing it by compiling from source and creating a DKMS module. The Trisquel team's goal is to remove anything ZFS related from the repositories, so you don't have the option to install the free software without resorting to 3rd party repositories or PPAs. The majority of users who want ZFS aren't probably going to use Trisquel (or even be aware of it), so its not THAT bad, but the Trisquel team is unwilling to compromise with anything related to ZFS due to stigma and fear of agitating the strict political atmosphere of the FSF.

""" We all love Debian It was an example to us I was fighting for him but everything changed Robert Browning Continue """ Blot out his name, then, record one lost soul more, One task more declined, one more footpath untrod, One more devils'-triumph and sorrow for angels, One wrong more to man, one more insult to God! Life's night begins: let him never come back to us! """ yes Debian is sank it died it must be forgotten

[Trisquel-users] Buck up using rsync
I use grsync to make copies of e.g. my home folder. What is the difference - if any - from copying with and without checking the make backup option?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Password Generator instead of a password manager
You can use any extension you wish or none. In UNIX-like systems file type is decided by magic number instead of filename extension. Here the magic number is the hash bang. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_format#Magic_number Your English is fine, I didn't even notice the mistake until you pointed it out!
