"What about installing it from Debian's current stable (buster) repository?"
So, I guess that was some kind of misunderstanding and there is no way to
install Timeshift in Trisquel8 from Buster's repository. Please correct me if
I'm wrong.
At http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso-etiona/iso/
I see there are Triskel and Trisquel iso files, what's the difference?
EndlessOS is designed to provide a good offline computing experience.
What could be done to implement something similar on Trisquel?
I'd like some things to update when internet is available, but for
everything to generally work in offline mode, and for a good library of
general information
triskel and trisquel (notice the spelling difference) provide different sets
of default packages. Mainly, triskel comes with the KDE desktop environment
and trisquel with the MATE desktop environment. You can have the full list of
packages in any ISO by reading the file with the same URL
If the package does not require recent versions of its dependencies, it can
be installed on an older distribution. Downloading the package on
https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd64/timeshift/download and
double-clicking on it, GDebi, which is installed by default, tells some
dependency
I had never heard of EndlessOS, so I downloaded the 16.5 GB ISO and tried it
in a VM.
It could be useful as a restricted "Prison OS" for inmates in a correctional
facility where everybody is basically incommunicado, cut off from access to
the outside world.
I think that even the criminal

Yeah, but now I'm trying to swoop in and hijack the topic and take all the
credit for it, because it's really important and I don't want you getting any
credit. Because that's what friends do for each other.

Firefox-based browsers support system-wide policies which on GNU/Linux are

Avast only plagues Windows though, so that's not your problem.

I fail to see how this relates to Trisquel. One could use sneakernet on any
OS.
I just don't have internet. Not a prison or anything. O_O

In Cuba, they use "paquetes semanales", that is, sneakernet. File sharing on
USB storage.

The whole Wikipedia can be downloaded as a compressed file about 16 GB.

The wikipedia page on El Paquete Semanial says: "Some have theorized that the
lack of pornographic material and lack of anti-government views in the
package may indicate the Cuban government is involved in its production".
I disagree. Lack of pornographic material is a well known source of

Yes, I was thinking of something like that.

If I fake my user agent as in the attached screenshot, I still get "trisquel"
mentioned in the duckduckgo query url. Where does it read that from? If
duckduckgo can get it, it means everyone else can get it too. Combined with
any faked user agent it makes you as stealth as a mountain troll

Sure, that is exactly why I rose the issue.
Out of the different services I've tried self-hosting, I would put Searx
toward the easier end in terms of setting up. It would be a good one for
beginners to start with. Gitea is a pretty easy one too.
I took a look at EndlessOS a few weeks ago. There are some neat ideas, but
freedom-wise it is probably the worst distro I have ever tried. They appear
to only release source code when required to by the GPL. All of their
software which is not a derivative of a GPL'd program is non-free.
Yes, I installed it from OBS after writing that. Fairly responsive, although
a bit heavy on the memory usage. Good to have it as an option.

Welcome to Trisquel.

Well I would need to staff up my legal team in order to examine that issue
thoroughly.
At first glance, it seems that pointing to a meta-searx service querying
random instances would solve the problem at once, and a few other ones,

I like this guy's video on creating your own self-hosted Searx search engine
for yourself: https://invidio.us/watch?v=oufXi3e-VuA
It's on my to-do list to give it a try someday.
EndlessOS also reminded me of North Korea's own distro Red Star OS. Red Star
(Pulgunpyol) won't let the user change any system files (when tampering
detected, the OS will reboot) and all files in home directory are
watermarked.
I changed the default search engine to https://html.duckduckgo.com (visit the
page, click on the magnifying glass in the search box, "Add DuckDuckGo
(HTML)" and set it as the default search engine in the "Preferences"). I do
not have that problem.

Abrowser's default search command adds that parameter. My understanding is

What url do you land on if you try to search "banana"?
If I do that, I land on https://duckduckgo.com/?q=banana=trisquel=web
Duckduckgo is my default search engine.
...but still wow:

Those are unrelated issues. They are probably getting "Linux" from your user
