I disagree. The only time a password should normally changed is if it's
compromised. Of course, if the password is weak, you may need to change it
regularly, but weak passwords should just

Any reason you want to use 'grsync'? Trisquel has an excellent backup utility
(in "System settings"), which uses duplicity as a backend:
incremental backup (only backup what has not been backup-up yet);
compressed backup (faster and save space);
integrated with the file manager (you revert to
You can use any extension you wish or none. In UNIX-like systems file type is

is the hash bang.

I use grsync to make copies of e.g. my home folder.
What is the difference - if any - from copying with and without checking the
make backup option?
Thanks a lot for the efforts.

So no.
ZFS, as it is currently shipping in Ubuntu, opens it up to controversy since
it is an enabled kernel module that Canonical ships with each kernel update.
There is also another method of getting ZFS by manually installing the
packages which more people are comfortable with like how Debian is
I'm not entirely convinced that a password generator is a better or more
secure approach. Some considerations to keep in mind:
* There is a limitation to what characters you can use for the "salt", at
least the way that script does it.
* It doesn't account for different password length

I think I'll just sum up everything I understand:
The PPAs one can add to one's sources as described in the documentation are
not controlled by Trisquel or Canonical and therefore are not safe in regard
to freedom.

I've tried to read me clever but so far I've failed.
When running grsyng I choose to copy files under certain arguments. One of
the advanced options is 'Make backup' [1]. Hovering gives the explanation

Indeed we should change our passwords regularly and thats why I rather use
your method.
That way I can keep my passwords with me withoud the need to store them.
Is kinda hard to change a password because I have 2 computers in my office
and my laptop so it is a pain in the ass to change a
I recently posted about the password generator by jxself.
And I would like to learn to do those kind of things by myself. Where do you
recommend me to learn?
What change does the script needs in order for it to include things like
!@#$%^&*()_-+={{]]||;;""?,/~`.
Some people here also recommend Searx (e.g. https://searx.laquadrature.net,
searx.me). It runs on just free software. It does give different results
though to Duck Duck Go alone in my experience so I often use both.
You should raise the issue with the developers. I think it is silly too.
Point 1 can be addressed by changing the script.
For point 2, while the script always outputs passwords of the same length
(unless changed) that wouldn't stop someone from remembering "Oh, on this box
they require the password to only be 8 characters" and so only using the
first 8
Trisquel does not distribute anything that violates copyrights significantly.
Things like emulators are a grey area, but court cases have shown that if
such programs are made through reverse engineering they do not violate
copyright; you can just play homebrew games or ROM images you ripped
I suspect they write the CDDL so they can go after companies profiting from
GNU/Linux systems with ZFS distributed. They obviously still want this as an
option because they have not re-licensed it to GPL. So I think Canonical
could be in for trouble, but regarding Debian I doubt it.

Get the Replicant SDK:
http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/SDK
It includes an emulator.
I do not know why they don't include it. Probably because it is a pain to
build and changes a lot.
Hope that helps.
Not sure it would help but here are parts of my .i3config:
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume 0 --

bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume 0 --

bindsym
While there is a difference in how Canonical and the Debian Project are
handling this: Canonical, as we all know, has it pre-compiled while the
Debian Project provides source code that is compiled when someone installs
the package. This difference doesn't actually matter.
I'll call what

Probably am wrong.

I would say to my older self to read the book "Free as In Freedom". That is
exactly how I decided to go libre, I just wish I've read it 15 years ago.
