is there a source on this image?

https://github.com/CommunityCube/debian-autoscript but I haven't checked deeply.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Safety of CommunityCube
It's on the IndieGoGo project. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/003/744/684/b1863c61b126f317c1b03d3c391f921e_original.jpg?v=1430952891=700==max=format=92=77e2c58e057fb029ba4ab213db8242c2

The infographic is trying to say that "Files & docs" are priceless, not that they're worthless.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Safety of CommunityCube
i should of said is there a source for the data on the image?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Safety of CommunityCube
Actually unvaluable should just be 'not valuable' or something along those lines. 'Invaluable' means the same thing as valuable (although with a meaning more along the lines of 'indispensable'), in the same way that inflammable means the same thing as flammable.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Safety of CommunityCube
There have been fifty-bazillion of these freaking little turn-on-and-done cube servers on KickStarter over the past few months, and all of them have some non-free components, or some iffy areas. TL;DR You're better off using your desktop as a server.
[Trisquel-users] Safety of CommunityCube
Hi guys, I've recently found this nice piece of hardware claims to use all FOSS and to be OpenHardware. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/communitycube-the-nsa-hates-us#/story https://www.communitycube.net/ (official websiste) and this is the distribution It's running with informations about technology It uses https://www.cageos.org/ I find this solution very interesting, in particular for the nice decentralized cloud, with high level of encryption but I'm a little bit worried about the safety (for example guys from the guardian project suggest not to download through tor, the risk of MIM attack and so on..). What do you think ? Thank you all
Re: [Trisquel-users] Safety of CommunityCube
I'm quite sure that the server I will self-made will have much more non-free components than this one. JadedCtrl have you checked or are you talking generically about these kind of projects ? Because It will be bad to judge something that could be the freest thing we could have for now, without evaluting deeply.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Safety of CommunityCube
"Community Cube uses the boards ODROID-XU3 Lite from Hardkernel, which is 99% open, and you can run any Linux based operating system on it. " and "which is 99% open". I think that speaks for itself. No, it's not "open" / free. It's dependent on proprietary bits (I believe a bootloader in this case at a minimum). They *could* have gone with a board that didn't depend on non-free bits like the Banana Pi or the Cubieboard or maybe even the Beagle Bone Black (? uncertain about this one although I know its being used by certain free software people ?). They didn't. Most of these projects aren't providing enough technical details to even begin evaluating them. Short of spending a lot of time investigating I'd have to say this campaign is a no-go. Right now I'm more interested in projects like Maidsafe which is a project to develop a distributed decentralized [bit]coin fuelled storage system. The other interesting project I've come across is Mailpile (it has GPG integrated). There is also another hardware venture that is attempting to some similar to projects we've got under way. Ultimately they seem to have it well thought out, but it's a year or more off. I think we can get something out the door sooner even if there efforts ultimately better in the long run... We'll see. Sometimes competition is good. Sometimes not soo much.

Either they don't understand how US currency works or they missed a few zeroes to make the numbers thousands... And unvaluable should be *invaluable...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Safety of CommunityCube
I was speaking in general. 9 time out of 10 if a hardware project says it's "completely open" or "fully FOSS," it's just open-washing. Turns out that guess was right, though, according to Chris'es comment.
