THANKS! =D
I had no idea that simply installing unar wouldn't solve the problem (I had
it installed but using front ends was not working, now I know why, I thought
unar and unrar were pretty much the same). Well, I will try unar command. I
would still like to have a GUI for unar maybe one
To be honest, I understand (now more than before) that there is no real need
to hide EVERYTHING about you. Of course, the kind of spying that you are
mentioning is wrong and I would say criminal. But it's like... a social
network like Diaspora, that apparently respects the users a lot more
Be careful Andresm, because once you log in to a service using your real IP,
it becomes associated with you, and Tor becomes useless after that point.
If you have an account that you want to maintain anonymous you should
ALWAYS and ONLY use it through Tor, and never give personal info. Also,
Hey guys. I have a question, hopes someone can help me.
Unrar is needed to be able to open rar files, right? Ok, so, you install it
from the repositories and you can read some rar files but not all of them.
That is unrar free, which is free software right? So, my question is what is

would like to say this: this thread was mostly supposed to be fun to begin
with. Not a very serious topic, just a fun thought
The only issue is that the stamp may have been designed with non-free
software, and the postal service may use non-free sorting systems. Hopefully,
they don't have any system to read the letter.
Honestly, I think that is over thinking this. I couldn't care less how they
made the stamp, I

Well said. I think people these days need to take a look at your past life

of us can actually ;)
While I have no experience with Replicant, which makes it impossible for me
to help answering the questions made, I would like to point something out:

a tiny bit harder, but you can still be spied just the same. The

for Trisquel to be based on Debian. Because of reasons I have already stated
in the forum, like Debian being more mature project, being above canonical

like you would want me to do.

related to this whole thing.
I am in a hurry right now, but just wanted to clarify some things.
5 years ago I would agree with you. However, nowadays LInux has been
receiving more and more attacks, and while I think we should try to improve
linux, I also think that moving to Hurd MIGHT prove to be a more wiser
decision
Excuse me, where do you read any hysteria in my comment?? -.^
Also, your webpage was not very clear, please answer me a question: which is
worse in your opinion, the fact that Ubuntu gives you the option of using non
free software to use your computer, or the fact that they used free
Perhaps you should re-read your message: Trisquel would be more
trustworthy if it started to work on top of Debian Stable instead of Ubuntu.
I was not hysteric. Debian is a much more mature project, it has a free
software only approach, it favors stability and security above usability and
One of the reasons why I appreciate a project like Debian, who are trying to
work with every available material =)
kfreebsd, hurd, linux, they are trying to use everything, which might prove
to be the best option when we have the need to chose one or the other =)
As of now, I stick with
Hum... I know it's weird for me to be the one who says this, but c'mon guys

is not wrong, because we all have different backgrounds and it's
Agreed =)
I actually agree with you (we seem to be making progress, lol) about the try
out thing. Letting people experience user friendly Linux distros would help
people to realize that they can use a computer without running windows :P
I would maybe suggest Mint, it was the most user friendly distro I

wrong and I really hope we

For now, we actually happen to agree on two different threads, so that's good
enough.

consider that authorship rights
That means we have to worry about Ubuntu bugs AND trisquel bugs. Need anymore
reason to have Debian as a base? Or maybe even to have the Trisquel team

better??
I don't see your logic, starting to think that there
Sure, but we can eliminate some of them if we don't use Ubuntu. That's all I
am trying to say.
The FSF basically gave up on Hurd, which I think was a bad decision. That was
like if they had given up on the entire GNU project just because it's too
hard. I really think it might have been a decision by RMS, seeing that he
gave up coding and now only gives speeches. I think he could maybe
Openbox is a windows manager, not the desktop environment. There are others,

Synaptic is the best way to add or remove desktops :)
Debian is one of the oldest GNU/Linux projects still alive. It is also one of
the most (maybe THE most) developed project. They have made packages
available for nearly all software that you use in Trisquel, and they support
many different architectures and even different kernels (they are

Did you use remove or complete remove? In synaptic you have both options, use
the complete one.
Maybe instead of trying to get them to accept Trisquel (they refuse ubuntu

As I

Apparently a few modifications that help privacy... that's nice.
But no security features (like a freaking ufw by default!)... Well, that was
a nice try, it's good to see that they at least pay attention to what the

You obviously came back to the Trisquel forum to tell people not to use
Trisquel and to write that the Trisquel team makes dumb mistakes. If so,
you should not have come back.
You would love to see me leave right? Well, not your birthday baby, so no
cake. And stop making poop everywhere!
I have to admit that I feel uncertain about how necessary Hurd is. It's true
we have Linux-Libre, but things could change, and having Hurd could provide a
solution for that. On the other hand, as you know I take security as a big
deal, free software should be secure, so with GNU/Linux

I wanted to let people know so they could check if their systems were also

@t3g: yes, exactly! Even the Tor team decided to use firefox esr to be able
to keep up to date with the security issues, and even they have some trouble
to deliver solutions on time (even if they do an amazing job, which I admire

I wonder, what is the difference between Abrowser

Agreed.
I wouldn't mind trying one of those obscure and obsolete boards =) eheh.
Running ClamAV on every file you download is a good policy. Even if you are
running GNU/Linux it still serves the purpose of knowing if the source you
are downloading files from is trustworthy. And if you give the file to a
windows friend, he is more protected.
as for the firefox js 0 day,
I just took a look at Tor Blog (should have done if before :P) and I think
they answered all our questions. Take a look at their blog, the link is

Look, honestly I don't know if you are just new to Tor or if you never cared
enough about it to actually read some papers and watch some presentations
about it... but you are very very wrong about Tor, it's purpose and it's
design.
If you take the time to read the comments I made below,
I like tor and I trust the tor project, but I feel much better with
javascript being disabled all the time and though I'm no tor specialist
(you're perfectly right on this) I can't understand why disabling javascript
should harm my anonymity. Perhaps I will learn.
I believe the links I
Thanks for the heads up!
I try to always make sure I am downloading Tor apps with https on, and I also
compare sigs (I am getting used to it :P).
It's very important to keep up with this kind of things.
One question, you usually download the Tor apps using Tor Browser?
Hello.
Thanks for the reply =)
I was expecting it would give me some trouble =P
I don't understand however why the IP will change all the time. I never let
the battery die and I could keep it using always 2g only. Would it still
change IP on its own, like when I move from one area to another?
I know I won't, Even if, there shouldn't be much to find ;)
And of course, full encryption is still needed. But I want to make Trisquel
cleaner and safer by totally cleaning all traces of what I have done before.
But I agree with you ;)
Thanks, that one I didn't know about, maybe will take a look at it =)
While it may not be totally related to the subject, one movie that I like
very much and might have something that will interest you, is V for
Vendetta. It's a wonderful movie.
I will also let everyone know you can do the same in Vimeo.
replace www.vimeo.com/1234 with http://player.vimeo.com/video/1234; where
1234 is the number of the video you are watching. It will give you html5
player, with mp4 format (can't be used in Tor).
I tried with SGV file. But it doesn't work.
I'm sorry, but I fail to understand what exactly you did. Could you maybe
rephrase it please? I really want to learn it =)
THANKS
If you think that someone got to the servers, they might also get to the
servers of Trisquel repos.
However, I would advise that youu be more careful, use https and check sigs.
If you don't mind changing the system everytime you need to use Tor, Tails is
a good choice.
What are you talking about proprietary software, Tor is free software.
As for the javascript, Tor Browser has ALWAYS shipped with javascript enabled
by default. Their opinion is that disabling it would:
1. Make you less anonymous on the net;
2. Break too many websites to make it usable.
So,
Hello.
Don't pay attention to that html5 youtube trial crap some people insist

It is true that anyone who is detected to be using Tor will be considered
suspected. HOWEVER, once they get inside the network, they are lost in the
shuffle. If they use a strange user agent like Ipod, they will be easy to
follow on the exit relays, no matter how much new identity they make.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! =)

Well, Tails comes to mind, they use mostly free software (although I admit

good as a private OS:
