Oh, and just to add to the confusion, NOW I can access my encrypted HHD via sudoed gnome-disks, whereas 10 minutes ago I couldn't. Sure it might have been a typo onthe passphrase, right? But to make sure, I even copy/pasted it. My install is messing with me ( •᷄⌓•᷅ )

[Trisquel-users] User rights

2017-02-15 Thread mcz
I often am puzzled about user rights: I understand that there's a root user who has all rights, and is accessed with sudo. I understand the normal user, who has limited rights. Now, I often have problems with external hard disks. It seems they require root password just to be able to copy

I do. I have a few old consoles I play with. I don't worry about privacy with these. On my libre PC, I try to avoid them, but still play two of these : OpenRA, and OpenXCom. I think most recent consoles/games (say, past the Wii) bring not much new besides great graphics. There's probably

I might have made (another) small mistake : my CPU has a TDP of 137, which the Noctua cooler supports. But I can't find any data about the Dynatron. One thing I will try is to use the second Noctua fan (which I didn't plan to use since I'm out of space) in front of the Dynatron, as a support

Yes, 50dBA must be very loud. It seems anything more than 20 is considered loud. You better be sure about using passive cooling. It was about smaller heatsinks, but reviews said it wasn't cooling at all. But it might work at this size maybe. Just in case, I'd make sure that the case airflow

I'll just add this option here if someone has the same issue: I decided to try a silent heatsink+fan, and for the second CPU a noisy one (much much cheaper). That's a Noctua http://noctua.at/en/nh-u12do-a3/specification and a Dynatron F661. Because I found out I can disable a CPU at will:

It's not for anonymity (not as fine-tuned as Tails), but for maximum security. I'd love to make parts of my OS completely unavailable from the web though, or even from other parts of my OS, though it seems it takes some time to get used to the way Qubes work. But I'm not sure I need this

What Heather wrote. It's just fully tweaked for max anonymity. Of course, for example if you connect to a mail account you created while not being anonymous, then you're not anonymous anymore. So the only difficulty is the behavior of the user online. Else it's nothing special. But that also

I see, so with 6 cores, I'd have plenty. It's definitely going to be a desktop system, nothing with many VMs or simultaneous connections. Besides having an empty CPU spot feeling itchy, I'll probably go with the "1 CPU, 1 quiet fan/heatsink" (gotta check the measurements again). If I

Bad planning led to this: I can fit 2 fans+heatsinks (over the 2 CPUs), but those who fit are super noisy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKWhB15Pm4E). Some quiter fans+heatsinks exist, but one barely fits, and if I want to fit 2 of these, I can only put a fan on each side (one blowing air
