Ah... okay. So should it be considered a beta? or an alpha?
If I had to guess, given that I don't use trisquel anymore, it probably has a
year before being stable. As for when its beta, who knows...
Don't ever, ever upgrade to alpha operating systems unless you know the
risks. Just a heads up.
Yep, mhm... Though I would avoid palemoon and go for Basilisk or Waterfox,
unless you disable Palemoon's blocklist so you can use noscript. :/
Hmm... So how long do you think it will be out in, and when do you think
quantum computers will become dangerous enough that x86 will be completely
useless...
Regardless java is insecure anyhow and thus crappy.
Java is a huge vector for insecurity anyhow...
Although if you need it bad enough, I suppose you could use Basilisk Browser
and put it on that.
I don't recommend it at all though.
Java is after all one of the oldest most insecure vectors for malware.
;)
Ah, well thats okay. I just felt like asking.
Besides, RISC-V hopefully will be around the corner in half a decade. ;)
Cool, do you have one you could sell in the future? Aka, extra?
I wouldn't be able to buy till december though...
Is the X200s with SU9600 processor, librebootable? And does it have a
significant battery life difference compared to the X200 regular, meaning it
uses less?
Also, does it have a LCD screen, and finally, if you had 4gbs of ram on it,
would it be able to use 128mb of it, for a virtual
Didn't even know there were X200s laptops with SU9600 processors in
cicrulation. :)
It may be possible to zero it.
That would be the solution I would hope.
If battery life is more important, try Draco Desktop.
In my experience its lighter than XFCE. Also LXQT
I wonder if it is lighter than LXDE-GTK3 from AUR.
hmm...
but yeah, I will link it for you if you are interested.
https://github.com/rodlie/draco
Yeah... there's a problem I have with this idea...
It's called free will.
That is something proprietors think they can control if they are sneaky
enough and clever enough.
So I guess to summarize, such a thought process doesn't exist within someone
who has an actual conscience.
Yeah... I am going to say something...
I really think that the beating on Stallman is getting really crazy, it
already was to begin with, but this is just getting nasty. No one is
perfect... and I don't think people understand where this is going...
Not that I support everything he does,
IF I am correct, you have to upgrade it the same way as you do on debian or
devuan.
Change the repos from Flidas to Etiona.
But before you do this, verify from Jxself if I am indeed correct, and if its
worth it...
I don't want your comp breaking because of me. ;)
Yeah I know, I just thought I should have made a suggestion beyond just
warning him not to use non-free crap.
Jxself did what I considered to be useful. :)
My apologies floppy, if I upset you, I am just trying to warn you. But yeah,
you could try what jxself said as a suggestion.
Unless the lenovo G505s someday is librebooted, probably there isn't much
that can be done regarding AMD.
Although that device has weak hinges, it supposedly is being looked into
being run without any psp modules. and supposedly the only obstacle to
librebooting it is supposedly the atom
That is most likely due to it being proprietary though.
Flash being proprietary makes it insecure I am sure.
That being said, I think the adobe people should at least not have the gall
to keep it proprietary for life.
I would remove that firmware quickly...
(firmware-amd-graphics_20161130-5~deb8u1_all.deb)
(firmware-misc-nonfree_20161130-5~deb8u1_all.deb)
(firmware-linux-nonfree_20161130-5~deb8u1_all.deb)
these are a security risk and a privacy risk.
That aside, non-free software isn't going to fix this
I would agree, but we do need someone to fill at least some of the void if
not better. Someone who has much trustworthiness as Jxself or better if
possible.
This! I had thought about saying maybe six hours. And yes, its not only not a
bad idea, he does seem to know quite a bit about how to handle the situation
of free software.
That being said, I only said nothing for so long, because Stallman's
situation deserved I thought some time before we
Well i kind of doubt Stallman doesn't speak for the free software movement. I
just think he isn't the only person to speak for it. That's all...
But yeah, T3g don't get me wrong, I have no idea why, but I missed your
foolishness. Just like I missed Jodiendo.
meh, if this is trolling, well
Hey, I wondered, where you have been t3g.
I didn't expect you appear at this time.
But yeah, careful with your links, it could be used to potential destroy the
fsf. and that would be dangerous to freedom as a whole.
Well Trisquel is a LTS distro. That is the most likely reason you are looking
for I am sure. :O
Audacious probably did some reverse engineering to make .ape files work.
In my personal opinion though, I use mpv, ever since Supertramp said how
bloat VLC was, I looked at other options and I finally decided on mpv. :)
It works well with website urls too. ;)
I bet it could run .ape files
How long is docking station deal going/reduced prices?
That was my point. :)
That really wasn't what I meant... I meant Stallman wouldn't want to give
legitimacy to Windows or Azure.
Although, you may have a point regardless, maybe this would be a good idea...
hmm...
Would microsoft block people from using Trisquel in Azure though?
hmm...
Maybe, although
Even then, I don't think Stallman or the trisquel developers would want that.
If Microsoft became fully free software and had no propreitary components
which is a very crazy stretch of the imagination...
Then yes, Trisquel developers would be willing I bet.
Again, that's a
"Okay, I read the links. This trademark restrictions don't seem like a
freedom issue to me. You are still free to modify the software and to
redistribute your modified version, as long as you don't call it "Rust."
Firefox has similar trademark terms. That's why modified versions of
Firefox have
Ads wouldn't be a problem for me except for one thing,
I kind don't trust them given so many companies do this thing called
malvertising where they track you with them. That is uncalled for, and a
security risk. So yeah, I block all of them.
That being said, Epic is a trash web browser
Late reply, but I have an x200, I use Hyperbola and i have this problem when
I try to shutdown from the screen where you are logged out.
;/
This seems to be in the wrong place... I think this should be in general free
software talk. :)
I am confused otherwise though.
It isn't spam, its trolling at worst, at best he serious.
Either way, its not exactly supposed to be in this part of the forum. ;)
I see, well I disagree, Enoch, Elijah both were supposedly raptured in the
bible.
Just saying...
Don't get me wrong, I do believe there will be a rapture, but your timing was
so random, that I laughed.
I mean was it really that urgent you needed to put it in the wrong part of
the forum? Or in all caps,
Still, quality trolling if I ever saw it. Oh Jodiendo, you are getting soft
in
Truecrypt, was only ever useful for proprietary operating systems.
If I remember correctly, but in all honesty, dmcrypt and luks should be
sufficient for now.
:)
The best way to encrypt files, is with GPA + a gnu privacy guard ECC key. Of
course you can't lose that key obviously... :)
Ah okay! my bad.
Trisquel 7 died in 2018. My... how time flies!
;0
I have had that problem before too. So yeah...
I wonder if they will accept that though.
Do you have any experience doing that as to what Debian's response would be?
I have a few reasons I dislike Debian, firefox comes with pocket enabled
for one thing, for another, I prefer OpenRC over SystemD, but also, this was
a reason I could never use it on my netbook a while back.
That being said, I think you just gave me an even bigger reason to dislike
it.
Sounds about right... Unless someday libreboot works on the lenovo g505s
and yes its possible because it uses a richland amd processor.
Those have no PSP or Intel Me equivalent in them.
But, there are things that need to be purged before they can be librebooted.
Which I am sure libreboot and
Yeah... I would move it into the regular one for free.
Just a thought. :)
Ah, my bad. thanks for the correction. :)
I need to read more carefully next time. Yep, he is a wise man.
I would say they should have to pay 100$ per note merely because they
shouldn't be ending their service without allowing people to keep what they
have bought.
SMH.
You may want to state what ETS kernels are good for more clearly. Some people
may want them if you make it more clear.
Yep, although should we be surprised? Stallman has been right about many
things. The only things I currently disagree with him on are mostly things
that have nothing to do with software/hardware. With few exceptions, BSD for
example isn't bad, its just harder and needs to be pruned of the
I have never even heard of that happening in a very long time... Your
hardware, must be fairly new and/or arch had some stupid update that screwed
things up.
Dunno which, or both... but yeah. I thought those errors never happened
anymore since the early 2000s. ;)
Yes, Tor Browser is *ALWAYS* releasing a new version every week it seems
like... sometimes even more frequently... although rarely it is less.
Parabola is good too, personally, anything is better than a ubuntu non-free
derivative. I don't recommend using any non-free software directly. I wonder
if he plans to try this, of course I also wonder how new is hardware is. ;)
I almost never see you post on the forums, its an interesting site. I wonder
what Trisquel 9 will look like on arm. ;o
Will arm64 bit be supported? just wondering.
Hope all is well for ya.
What about MNT Reform?
I hope someone will make better usb wifi adapters some day.
I wonder if Luke would be willing to make some if he knew the others were
junk...
MNT Reform Laptop/Eoma68 Laptop are the only good options if they ever get
released that is...
;)
I am hopeful they will in the future, but I am not sure you will get any
noticeable security boost in arm vs intel for this reason:
My X230 with coreboot and intel me cleaner on it, currently has trisquel 8 on
it with your linux-libre-lts mostly because, linux-libre-lts is more
stable/new and also odd errors appeared when I tried to install *mostly* full
disk encryption without /boot not encrypted.
So yeah... but long
I recommend anything that uses mpv as its base. :)
Including, baka-mplayer.
If you need a gui that is...
Besides, mpv works with url's pretty well. :)
This. I use soundconverter for any media I want put in ogg format for my
rockbox. device.
ah... okay, I am forgetful...
I wonder which month it came out in though still.
But yeah I am probably just forgetful.
When I compared pulseaudio to systemd, I was not comparing what they do to
each other, I was comparing the amount of issues each have in comparison to
their counterparts aka, alternatives.
PS, yeah perhaps I do need to re-evaluate webextensions and pulseaudio.
Systemd on the other hand, I
I thought all releases were supported for 5 years. Did this change recently?
Yeah, the way you started that reply doesn't really garner respect from me.
Maybe webextensions isn't as I think, maybe systemd isn't as bad as I
think... Although its also possible the reverse too, either way though...
tell me, have you ever looked up librefox before? If you ever stop
You may need to do some research but usually audio chips are supported by
free software distros at least in my experience. Usually, wifi, graphics, 3d
video acceleration, etc... are the issues.
Midori is being updated again... epiphany and dillo idk about... and
abrowser/icecat should work.
To be honest, emulators are fine imo as long as they cannot escape the
sandbox at least from a security point of view.
But freedom wise I understand people disagree, but its better then them using
non-free software to do the emulation which is entirely possible... God
forbid they switch back
Ah okay I hadn't realized that.
His only chance is probably... if he can clean the intel me, which he
shouldn't do without special knowledge of how to modify a bios via external
flashing. Of course... that is very dangerous, so I don't recommend it.
That being said, he may have to learn what I learned back around 7 years
To be honest, I think any free software license would be an improvement for a
VPN service. As long as it is at the standard of MIT or higher.
aka permissive is a good start. But, obviously copyleft is better. :)
"One problem with VirtualBox is that only a proprietary compiler, Open
Watcom, can compile the code of its BIOS"
One word: Frightening!
Well, I didn't realize it was that bad. But yeah, T450 is not the best
option anyways. Lenovo *might* be able to undo the intel me cleaner because
of it being such a new processor.
Long story short, T400s is the best current option, until g505s is made
available under libreboot. Although
The 400s, or you could use zerocat.org/shop and send your x220 and have it
corebooted and me cleaned. but, I don't know the specfics, so you would have
to discuss it with the owner.
If it can be me cleaned, you can replace the wifi card.
Aka the x220, I myself have an x230 to replace the
So that is the simplest guide you say? Okay thanks for telling me!
I saw, odd isn't it. :)
Okay, where can i find that usb programmer? And what supplies do I need to
have it work/is there a guide to flash coreboot/libreboot with it?
As for broadcom, I will ignore it now that I know its this horrible if I can
get my hands on the above, the usb programmer/guide to flash. ;)
IF
"It is really strange to hear - that you, while really caring about free
software, would like to flash your BIOS using Pi. These Pi single board
computers have one of the worst software freedom status according to Free
Software Foundation - blobbed, and have a horrible Broadcom as its' CPU.
I agree 1% bundling/forcing an os onto a computer should be illegal.
Though I also think hardware should be libre by default, not just software,
and as for why I say by default, give the user the choice... if you don't,
and people get upset, we will be back to square one, etc, etc...
I find all fast food disgusting too.
That being said, I unfourtunately have a gmail account...
I had certain reasons I needed it. but yeah, its best to avoid it when
possible.
and yes I have a phone... sadly I need it for certain things.
But I do not recommend anyone doing this unless
Are there any durable thinkpads with any of the richland amd cpus that you
think could be used as blob-free as the G505s?
I found this:
https://freundschafter.com/cybersecurity-cpu-and-system-alternatives-without-intel-me-iamt-and-amd-psp-secure-technology/
and wondered, if any thinkpads
Out of curiosity do you also plan to do the same treatment, to E545 thinkpad?
It also uses a richland amd cpu.
PS, do you guys plan to run a store in the future that sells those? Even if
it wouldn't be fully libre. Just curious, as I am not an expert on how to do
external flashing with a
My bad, qmastery, I didn't know that the Libreboot community didn't
contribute at all... Wait though, you saying it can be flashed without
external flashers? That sounds badass.
:)
Ps, I wasn't trying to be mean when I said minifree should sell it.
Although, blobbed coreboot seems
Is the g505s really that bad of a laptop? I am curious, is it easy to break,
durability wise?
But yeah, it does have an extremely fast processor. I wonder if any other
laptops have that amd processor that can be librebooted that are durable...
Just a thought. ;)
I spoke too soon, about this, but THERE might actually be an amd gpu you can
use soon that is deblobbed...
Such as THIS:
https://notabug.org/qmastery/libreboot/src/master/docs/candidates.md
The g505s lenovo apparently can run blobless and is a target for libreboot.
However, I don't know
Ah good to know. :)
Doesn't midori suck anyways due to being extremely outdated and abandoned?
I truthfully agree, but evidence I found here may or not be relevant:
https://suckless.org/sucks/systemd/
But regardless, I understand people can be set in their ways.
It was around when I discovered devuan and used it listened to their
arguments, and found systemd to be questionable...
Last time I used 1.0 it seemed a bit buggy, on my x200.
is 2.0 way better?
just wondering.
Dunno myself, but you probably know more about hardware than me so yeah.
As much as I dislike systemd and its questionable ways, I somehow doubt it
would work incorrectly like the way you mentioned. All you have to do to know
that I dislike systemd is do a search in my history on here.
That aside, I use trisquel 8 on my kororapenguin and it works fine even with
systemd stuff aside, what do you think his problem is via the log he
attached? just curious.
Okay, just to tell you, I haven't done this in a very long time. Also, I
would need to look ahead of time to find a time to do it anyways.
But yeah, it is totally doable.
Although, the modify the grub part I will remember how to do. :)
Well, even if you can't switch machines, you could use a different one for
your personal use. But yeah, trisquel isn't bad, but I myself prefer
Hyperbola. Although it is not user friendly at all yet... and requires two
computers to install.
So yeah, Trisquel is your best bet. ;)
and
Hexchat is what I use too!
Agree wholeheartedly that xchat is not to be used. I wondered why it was in
trisquel 7, when it was said to have freedom issues. I forget where I read
they had freedom issues...
Oh, I didn't know you double posted...
Well in that case, refer this thread's answer:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/thinkpad-w510-wifi-whitelist-replacement-cards-0
unless you waiting for other replies.
Here is one idea:
https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-usb-adapter-gnu-linux-tpe-n150usb
If you cannot use a form of coreboot/me cleaner then you should probably
either A: do the above, or B: get a new laptop.
The X230 is the most recent coreboot laptop that I know you
It is an old browser though isn't it?
its not too hard, unless your using full disk encryption with a non debian
based system.
:)
Like Hyperbola/Parabola. I could help you probably walk you through it once
if you wanted. Want me to pm you my email?
Two options seem to exist, Coreboot + me cleaner...
or libreboot.
At least as x86 goes...
Otherwise its Risc-V future or ARM within reason of course...
OR powerpc if you have a lot of money.
Those are your options for newer technology I believe.
Although some of them probably won't be
Not for nothing, but shouldn't devuan be listed? It is indeed a debian
derivative, although I may not be completely aware of something so please
fill me in... if I wrong.
Are you thinking of doing this for the same reason, QT3 is being continued to
be supported by the Trinity Desktop group?
Just curious...
Very much so in fact...
