Re: [Trisquel-users] ThinkPenguin WiFi adapter disruption
> might be a software issue If your usb wifi card is an ar9271 then I can tell I have several usb ar9271 wifi cards. One nano size. One having a 4inch antenna. One having a longer antenna. At distances about 10yards from the router they are all equally fast and seldom disconnect. That is on a debian 10 main distribution and the software package in question is firmware-ath9k-htc 1.4.0-97-g75b3e59+dfsg-3. I also have trisquel 8 64bit installed on a hdd. But I do not use it.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Why does Trisquel take to much time to release a new version?
We have debated this before. How trisquel gets provided has to mean somewhere in the chain a waste of resources takes place. The adding and removing of non free software. What are your comments on this suggestion? Getting a liaison officer in debian. A person who makes sure that during programming documentation and scrips are made at the earliest possible stage which optimizes how to turn debian into free software. Maybe debian wants money for that work, but if it made the turning debian into free software part more efficient then it could still payoff.

Then why mention it? >"Purchase protection". has. NOTHING. to do with GNU Taler Nor does my post say. In my post I claim a gnutaler payment system with no purchase protection is such a drawback compared to payment systems, which provide a purchase protection, that I believe it will significantly limit how many will use gnutaler. None of us can determine if my claim is correct. It would require a marketing research. You engage in odd arguments, saying if you do not trust seller then you cannot trust paypal's purchase protection. You can get into a dispute with a big known company as well. If you have paypal purchase protection and you believe you rightfully have a claim against seller, two entities must fail before you have to file a complaint to a consumer authority. Seller and paypal. And I think paypal will have a more objective view on a dispute than seller, because paypal is not part of the dispute. You are welcome to have a list of sellers you trust and are prepared to buy items from with no purchase protection. I think a lot of buyers will not act like that. >it's completely irrelevant to GNU Taler In a gnutaler video they are asked if gnutaler provides a purchase protection. Gnutaler answers no and says if someone wants to, they can make a purchase protection service. I know of no such service and I think gnutaler would be better of, if a purchase protection would be integrated as an option in a gnutaler payment. If there is no purchase protection, preferable integrated in gnutaler, when gnutaler is introduced, then it will have a significantly negative impact on how many will use gnutaler. I think gnutaler wants to be widely used and wants to be prefered to other payment systems. That is why I think it is relevant for gnutaler. You are unable to react on my claim. People who demands purchase protection will select paypal over gnutaler. The number of people who demands purchase protection is big. Therefore it would be a mistake to introduce gnutaler, with no purchase protection ready. >there are equally good laws to protect you if you're using cash. So if you're OK with the trust required to use credit cards, it's logically inconsistent to not be OK with the trust required to use cash or e-cash
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Paypal compatible with software freedom?
>gnutaler cannot work as a tool against profiling I phrased it poorly. Paypal and credit cards likely do profiling of the buyer. If you use gnutaler, then their profiling stops. But the profiling the seller does if seller gets buyers name and address, gnutaler cannot stop.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Paypal compatible with software freedom?
>If the accuracy of the profiles decrease, it is discovered. We do not know the algorithms. I doubt, they are able to filter items which are bought in the name of a proxy person. I do not say, people should not act as a proxy person, but they should know what effects it may have. >you expect a solution where, at once, all profiling techniques become obsolete I do not expect one. >you have such a solution No, I do not. My post was about showing, that gnutaler cannot work as a tool against profiling. And if gnutaler does not provide a purchase protection system, people often will have a reason to not use gnutaler. I am in favor of gnutaler, but I think gnutaler should provide a purchase protection too.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Paypal compatible with software freedom?
>So, I take it you never use a credit card How did you reach that conclusion? I have not said, I refuse to tell name and address to seller. Credit cards in europe, like paypal, provides an option to make a claim against seller. The legal quality on how these protests are managed, I do not know. I claim gnutaler does not change the fact, that seller can do profiling if he has proper software. Stallman opposes surveillance and profiling. That is why I think gnutaler does not enable Stallman to buy items from shops on the internet. We do not know what he would say. >That has nothing whatsoever to do with payment method. Which I have not claimed. It was about profiling. In europe it is commonly required to inform your name and address, if you buy something from a shop on the internet. Seller having this set of data, enables him to make a profile. I wanted to know if gnutaler changes this. It does not. >Besides this, I must say that there's a fantastic irony here. There is an illogical conclusion from your side. Paypal is not a seller of the items I buy. Paypal manages the payment. Included in paypal's service is a purchase protection. It is part of what they sell. If it was common knowledge that paypal's purchase protection is a scam and does not work for buyer, I would not use paypal. Several times I have bought from fraudulent sellers. I got my money back filing a paypal purchase protection complaint. My experience is, paypal purchase protection works. But I do not trust them to be highly qualified on consumer law and would not be surprised would paypal make a wrong decision in a purchase protection case. >PayPal's purchase protection is not protecting you from Ebay. I have not said so. Ebay says, if you do not make a paypal payment, you can make not complaint to ebay about seller. >Ebay owns PayPal. What is the relevance? In a dispute paypal looks on the data and makes a decision. >e-cash to Ebay and let them handle everything else Can you provide some documentation? I do not know of this option.
Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
Stallman answered, he is not knowledgeable on the matter. He will ask people who are familiar with fsf's hardware certifying system to decide if fsf should engage in endorsing crowd fundings, which are about libre software. I assume fsf will return, when they have made a decision. Not sure a raptor mainboard crowd funding should be in the domain of a well known crowd funding website. What do they cost? Costs if the crowd funding target fails? I would rather set up a crowd funding website on for instance raptor's website, if they agree. Raptor would have expenses for technical and price calculations, which raptor would have to bear. In case the funding target is not achieved, is there a fee for returning already received payments? If so who pays?
Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
>POWER9's success is going to be by a mass-production I do not call 1 mainboards a mass production. The goal of a crowd funding is, if there is 1 persons, who want to spend 1000usd on a libre software mainboard and cpu, we will find them and give them the option to buy the computer. If more want it, fine. You can have the opinion, there are no 1 persons. You are probably right. I think there is a small chance. And if it can be tested at small costs for raptor, it should be done. A market survey could give us the answer telling us if a crowd funding will be fruitful. But we do not have one and are not going to get one.

Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
>I would highly expect them to use the same POWER9 CPU that the Talos II is using Yes. From what raptor wrote me, there is not much of a wide range of options in terms of hardware. It will be a talos 2 power9 sforza. It will be winded down such that it can work on a microatx mainboard which has lower priced electronic components on it. Raptor did not state an intel cpu, which would have an comparable performance. Only that the power cpu would match a x86 duo core cpu on performance. >wait until the more powerful POWER9 chips become available later on. No, that is not doable. My understanding is, the power cpu on the raptor microatx mainboard has to be winded down about performance in order to work on a mainboard having lower priced components. Otherwise the mainboard would have to be more expensive.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Paypal compatible with software freedom?
>delivered anywhere close to your home, for instance to a shop My experience in europe is, the shop on the internet requires you to tell name and address. In which case seller has enough data to surveil and profile you. If the item is shipped to a shop, where you then go fetching it, you may be able to use an incorrect name and address, because sometimes, when you fetch the item, you only have to tell a package number. >it does not help building a profile of your friend (like you pretend) but it turns it harder to build a profile of your friend If the shop uses surveillance and profiling software it will do profiling. The profiling will be inaccurate because seller likely does not know he is linking his data to the wrong person. A persons profiling being inaccurate may be favorable or not for the person in question. It depends. > practice generates noise in the data used to build the profile Because seller does not know his data is not correct, he will act on the data as if his profiling is useful. The proxy person may experience disadvantages on that account. Should the inaccurate data have the effect you say, it would require seller to know his data is inaccurate. >buy from merchants they don't trust. If well known shops in usa are reliable, it is nice. Even among well known shops in europe, I would rather not display that level of trust. Even more if I buy from a shop located in another country. If you have no purchase protection and seller decides to not do what you what him to do, you have two options. The court system. Slow, expensive if you lose and bureaucratic. Second option is filing a complaint at the consumer authority. It is not expensive. It is slow. Slower if it is a complaint about a seller located in another country. If you win, seller can choose not to comply. A system like paypal's purchase protection is fast. If you win the complaint you will get your money. >is going to take their money and run off Paypal's purchase protection can be useful in cases, which are not about crimes and fraud too. >PayPal's purchase protection is only necessary for people who you can't hold accountable either because you can't identify them or because they operate in some country that makes it impossible. Disagreements may occur also about shops you would not expect to be a problem. > Ebay for example, it's very simple to just arrange to have the e-cash sent to them and then route that through their own system which does have purchase protection (in the case of ebay, that would incidentally be PayPal). You say, you can get paypal's purchase protection without having a paypal account? >To an extent. That is correct.
Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
>you have a preference for power. No, he has not. As I have stated before, the cpu on the raptor microatx mainboard will not be a particular fast one. It will be the lowest priced cpu, which raptor can provide, which has a performance comparable to a x86 duo core cpu. In a previously post, you have said, how you consider the pc card's cpu fast enough to function as a daily use notebook for you. It may be so. The pc card's cpu is nothing more than a slow phone regarding performance. And it will for almost no one be fast enough to perform as a daily use notebook. I had a raspberry pi. It was that slow, it was impracticable to use. I know no reason, the current pc card should be different. The market gives the same answer. If the cpu in the pc card would be regarded to be fast enough by consumers, we would have the pc card's cpu in our notebooks, but we do not. To me it is silly to claim the current pc card can act as a daily use notebook. The problem about the PFY Laptop Housing Kit is, if you insert the current pc card, you do not get performance equivalent to a current x86 notebook. When will arm cpus be as fast as x86 notebooks and when will such arm cpus be libre software capable? Lkcl cannot tell us. >can afford the initial massive costs. Calling 1000usd for a mainboard and cpu for massive costs is tendentious. Many people can pay such amount for a computer, should they want to get one. It is more a matter if people, who has the money also have an interest in libre software computers. That is why I believe it is important to advertise the raptor microatx mainboard to computer security circles. In the event the raptor microatx mainboard and cpu gets sold in a higher volume, than 1 units the price will go down. The fact, that we cannot provide a libre software raptor mainboard everybody is able to buy, should not stop us from getting it manufactured. If the price for the raptor atx mainboard and cpu lands on about 1000usd, I am not sure I am getting one. But that does not stop me from wanting the mainboard to be made because every libre software mainboard getting on the market is an improvement. Getting the raptor microatx manufactured also ensures the required knowledge stays present. I am not in favor of the ppc architecture. Actually I do not know much about ppc. But it is an option and therefore must be pursued. I would want the riscv cpus to get on the market. But riscv has stalled before. We must look into every available option.

What I say is, it would be a mistake to introduce gnutaler, not having a gnutaler purchase protection service ready, because the lack of a gnutaler purchase protection service will limit the number of gnutaler users significantly. >take your money and run would be an illegal This assertion is the result of your chain of arguments. You say, gnutaler should be nothing more than a service similar to cash. Only use gnutaler, if you would use cash. That is where I disagree what gnutaler should be. I think gnutaler should be a payment service, you would select to buy items from shops on the internet. Which requires a purchase protection service. >not what GNU Taler is designed for. If that is correct, I think gnutaler has made a mistake. For the beforementioned reason. >from internet shops When I wrote about items bought from a shop on the internet, it was implied, the items would have to be shipped to the buyer. >course that would change it. I do not know exactly what pieces of information Stallman resents to give a shop on the internet, if he buys an item. I know it is the surveillance part, he resents. I assume, he will not inform seller about financial data and address, because he does not want seller to be able to have a record on him on these data. I also think, Stallman does not want seller to have a record on what he has bought. About items which have to be shipped, Stallman will have to inform about his name and address. And of cource seller will know what he has bought. That is why I think Stallman will not use gnutaler to buy items from shops on the internet. >he can ask for the package to be delivered to a friend's mailbox If you use another persons name and address, you stop sellers survaillance and profiling of you. But the person, who is the proxy, gets subject to the surveillance and profiling. That may have unwanted consequences for the proxy person. You should not ask another person to be a proxy regarding any major part of your shopping on the internet. >e-books and music files Regarding all kinds of data and media files, gnutaler would be very good. Will seller be allowed to sell media files paid by gnutaler? Maybe not. I think surveillance of the buyer is an important part of the concept of selling media. The owner of the media may want to be able to identify who is using the media they sell. In that case, gnutaler payment is not going to be accepted by those having the rights to a given piece of media.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Paypal compatible with software freedom?
> stealing sales taxes I am referring to the case, where a shop has an income from a sale, but does not tell the authorities about it. > "fraud" you're referring to is legal ways No, if you act legally it cannot be fraud. One part eliminates the other. https://taler.net/videos/sha2017taler.webm I got the wrong idea about how effective taxing of a shop's received gnutaler payments will be. Regarding effectiveness of taxing of received gnutaler payments, it equals any other well known method of payment. In that case, gnutaler could get commonly used, if it is a lower priced system for shops to use and providing better privacy for buyers. To me the most important service paypal provides, is their purchase protection. The purchase protection is included in the paypal fee. When I check the fee, it is about 5%. I do not know how paypal is able to provide purchase protection within this fee. Either few people get to use purchase protection or paypal's handling of people's purchase protection demands must be shallow. Maybe seller pays a significantly higher fee, than buyer. Gnutaler does not have a built in purchase protection. Regarding buying items, I would not use gnutaler over paypal, if gnutaler provides no purchase protection. According to gnutaler, purchase protection would have to be provided by a system, which would not be a part of gnutaler. Can gnutaler payments, which include purchase protection, compete with a paypal payment? If sender and receiver regarding a gnutaler payment trust each other, they can transfer money with same level of privacy as a cash transaction. Stallman does not buy items from internet shops? My knowledge is, if he cannot pay cash, he does not buy it. Gnutaler payments would not change that? Because the shop would keep a record of Stallman's data. Address, date and price.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Paypal compatible with software freedom?
To my knowledge gnutaler is something nobody uses, correct? Then next step is, why not? I know, I want to use gnutaler because gnutaler limits the amount of data seller gets about buyer regarding a transaction. Why do sellers not use gnutaler? Likely because, they, if they knew about gnutaler, would consider gnutaler one more administrative burden. Even more, which is the impression I have gotten, authorities would get a more effective way of assessing sellers' taxes. A more effective tax assessment, likely a lot of shops would want to avoid. That is why I think, gnutaler has to be rolled out by legislation. Because not enough people will start use gnutaler pressuring shops to use gnutaler. > You're also framing this as a hypothetical I do not understand this sentence. > is highly illegal? Taler isn't meant for drug dealers Being illegal has never effectively stopped tax fraud from being a major problem and occurrence. Tax fraud applies about legal goods. I am not aware, tax fraud is a matter of importance about illegal goods. How will you get people, meaning buyers, to use gnutaler? Do you think it is enough to tell people about gnutaler? Do you think shops will start using gnutaler if they got to know about gnutaler? If gnutaler is less costly to shops, than other digital methods of payments, maybe they will.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Paypal compatible with software freedom?
Gnu taler. Does it not require legislation if gnu taler should become a method of payment? If taler makes it more difficult for seller to trick authorities, why should seller use it?

Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
>1usd for a ppc mainboard, cpu included Erroneously I wrote 1usd. It is 1000usd. My main argument is, if it was on sale in shops for 1000usd and you asked all gnulinux aware people, if they wanted to buy one, with some likelihood 1 units could be sold. Main obstacles are, people are reluctant to buy an about 1000usd item which has to be made from a company they probably do not know. People do not know about this option to get a libre software computer. People want portable devices.
Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
Raptor has emailed a list of specifications should a ppc libre software micro atx mainboard, cpu included, get crowd funded. 1 POWER9 "Sforza" CPU 4 DDR4 DIMM slots 2 PCIe slots (1 x16, 1 x8) On board audio On board HDMI video (2D) 2 GbE NICs On board USB 3.0 On board SATA (AHCI) Optional remote control via BMC (can be fully disabled via hardware / firmware) The list is non obligor. If appears the hardware options are limited. The only option getting the price down is ordering big numbers of mainboards. I agree, selling 1 mainboards,cpus included, for about 1000usd each is difficult. If the computer can work for a decade, it is an acceptable price. I asked raptor about the software system situation. Raptor answered, several gnulinux distributions are available. I asked raptor about qubes. Qubes intends to modify x86 mainboards, such that they will not be able to compromise qubes. I consider that to be a questionable matter. Raptor said, if kvm is provided for ppc, a ppc computer will be able to run qubes. A libre version of qubes on a ppc computer could be of interest for computer security circles.
Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
>POWER seems to be a candidate for the future of high-end computing My impression from raptor's emails is, the main parameter is number of mainboards you order or raptor sells. I have not asked raptor but I do not think ppc is inherently more expensive than similar x86 hardware. If you buy 30 mainboards, why should the price per mainboard be much higher? >cost goes down to a few thousand dollars The mainboard in question here is about 1usd for a ppc mainboard, cpu included, if raptor gets an order of 1 mainboards. It is a micro atx computer. If you already have an atx computer, there are no more costs. Maybe apart from a ram module. >pipe dream That would be the buyers decision. What was new to me is, you cannot make a new libre software x86 computer. You can manufacture a new ppc libre software computer. The eoma has several difficult obstacles. To me the main problems are performance and planning. The current eoma is about an arm a20 cpu. It is nothing more than a raspberry pi. It has nothing to do with a x86 notebook in terms of performance. Have you used a raspberry pi? That would not matter if there was a fixed plan for releases of better performing pc cards. Which there is not. There is a rk3288 which is not a x86 regarding performance. If hewlett packard decided to make the pc card, they would have the technical and financial volume to say when what hardware would be on the market. And it would likely hold. So far lkcl has to wait and see what relevant hardware gets on the market.

Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
In its latest email, think penguin says, it will not be part of a ppc raptor lower priced mainboard crowd funding. Think penguin believes it is impossible to find 1 buyers of the mainboard. My point of view is, it does not matter, if a ppc libre software mainboard crowd funding is unsuccessful. Rather it is about giving libre software people the option to buy a new libre software computer. If volunteers did the campaigning, it would not be an expensive crowd funding. Raptor would have expenses devising a technical description of the mainboard. The free software foundation would have expenses reviewing raptors technical papers on the mainboard, in order to make a decision about endorsing a lower priced mainboard. Now the situation is, we have a company which says, they can and will manufacture a libre software computer, if they get an order of 1 mainboards, about 500usd each. But will not do a crowd funding. Another company, which I assessed could be the frame of the crowd funding, will not do it. What do you suggest? I will write Stallman in order to get his opinion.

Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
I got an email from raptor. They will not state specifications of a mainboard. If gathering the pieces of information means costs to raptor, it is understandable. If a crowd funding is initiated, raptor will have to display specifications because people will want to know what they buy. Raptor is not in favor of a notebook mainboard. Raptor does not elaborate. It seems making a notebook ppc mainboard is more difficult. Requiring bigger sales numbers in order to keep a lower price. Instead raptor suggest a micro atx mainboard. I would prefer a notebook mainboard enabling people to make their own portable or notebook solutions.

[Trisquel-users] libreboot flashing t400, raspberry pi to soic wiring?
One task about getting libreboot on the mainboard is wiring the raspberry pi pins to a soic 8 or soic 16 clip. On libreboot's irc I asked which pins on the raspberry pi to connect to which soic pins. Only answer I got, said find out yourself, because people can mix up the pin numbers. I think it is more likely I will get the wiring right, if I am told the pin numbers. Please tell if you know the pin numbers. The raspberry pi pins have these numbers. https://pinout.xyz/# Name soic clip pins as upper row pin number 2 from left. Or lower row pin number 3 from left. I do not know if the flash chip in the computer has 8 or 16 pins. That is why I ask you to tell the wiring for a soic 8 clip and soic 16 clip. For power supply I will use 3.3v from an atx power supply. You can start an atx power supply if you wire the green wire to a black wire. To which pins on a soic 8 and soic 16 do I connect power? Better would be, if I could get a picture of the wiring. Thanks.

Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
I have written think penguin asking if they would be interested in endorsing a campaign and crowd funding about a lower priced ppc libre software mainboard. Think penguin answered yes, if we could come up with a midway acceptable plan to get 1 mainboards sold. We both agree, we may not achieve the goal. Then we can say, libre software people had an option and did not jump on it. In another email to think penguin I sketched my approach, which I refer here. We will not be able to sell a mainboard to people, who do not know about libre software. Only those who already want a libre software computer will buy a mainboard. The task is to inform them. A campaign has to be scheduled to start on a set day. That day every one involved in the campaign will know who to inform and how. The campaign will have two groups of actors. Mass and front runners. Mass would be people on trisquel's forum. We would coordinate the task to email various websites in different languages. Front runners would be fsfe, fsf, think penguin, Snowden, Thomas Drake, Rutkowska, Assange endorsing the mainboard. We will have to seek their support. Fsf could play a role in this task. Snowden has 300 followers on twitter. He may response to an email from fsf. The mainboard to be manufactured will aspire to 2 requirements. A performance comparable to an intel duo core x86 cpu. And the lowest achievable price. In result the mainboard will come with no extras included in the price. Raptor told me, they assess 1 buyers are not present. Therefore raptor will not be part of a campaign or crowd funding. They say, show us the money and raptor will make the mainboard. In raptor's email, they indicated, that they can make both atx and notebook mainboards. I suggest a notebook mainboard should be made. A notebook mainboard would allow people to explore making their own notebook. Instructions telling how to turn the mainboard into a desktop should be provided. I am in favor of getting the crowd funding run by think penguin. I do not know whether think penguin will do it. I have asked raptor to list an overview of specifcations. Remarks or suggestions?
Re: [Trisquel-users] raptor talos will make a lower priced mainboard, if you buy 10000
>get a firmer quote from them in terms of price/lead time; what the exact specs would My email to raptor was introductory. I did not list specifications and raptor did not mention specifications either in their answer. I did not expect raptor to answer or answer rejecting. I think the price is the main issue. It has to be low enough, that most libre software people can buy if they want to. Specifications about a duo core x86 cpu, I should say suffice. >verify that it would be 100% libre. My impression is, all the source software regarding a ppc is available. The license terms I do not know. Maybe the software license cannot get fsf approval. In that case for certain fsf is not going to organize a crowd funding. I have written think penguin, informing them about raptor. Think penguin supports the pc card. Maybe that can stop think penguin from considering a raptor mainboard. I am going to write Stallman an email about raptor.

https://www.raptorcs.com/ They manufacture the libre software talos mainboard. I emailed them, asking if they would make an about 500usd libre software mainboard. Raptor answered me. Rather good answers in terms of the possibility of getting a lower priced libre software mainboard. Raptor wrote, they are technically able to sell a libre software powerpc mainboard having lower specification for a lower price if they got an order about more than 1 mainboards. Raptor did not say, they could do it for 500usd per mainboard. Raptor wrote, they have refrained from making such mainboard, because raptor assess they cannot sell the mainboard and making it would be a waste of money. Raptor said, should they get an order about more than 1 mainboards, payment to raptor secured, they would manufacture them. I was not aware it is possible to make an all libre software mainboard, though it is not x86. Raptor in plain language said, if you do a crowd funding, goal more than 1 mainboards, raptor likely are going to manufacture the mainboards. This tells me, it is up to the libre software people to get a libre software mainboard. We will probably not be able to organize a crowd funding, because who will head it? It has to be an entity, which is known to be reliable. The free software foundation should do it. Previously I have asked fsf to make a stand on organizing crowd fundings of hard ware. They did not. Who can you write on fsf? Several times I have written campai...@fsf.org about campaign suggestions. Not once have fsf been able to handle my emails effectively and clearly. Can you write Stallman?
