Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
I imagine the religion being referenced is probably Catholic, which I also am. It is not an injustice to embrace the theology of the body of the Holy Catholic Church. We all need to begin with mutual love and respect for each other. I understand that many people will disagree with my beliefs, as I do theirs. I disagree with the concept of transgender, as I assume many of the posters in this forum will disagree with the church's teachings on the virtues of chastity and purity. Still, the same religion that teaches me these things also teaches me that I need to see the face of Christ in others. One of the great things about free software is that it provides a space where people who are very different can cooperate and hopefully come to a place of mutual respect. I hope this situation cools to the point where everyone can reconcile. Hope is a virtue too, after all.

Scratch cat is REMOVED Project uploading is REMOVED etc. from open source (non-free) version.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Problems with flashing a Lenovo x60 with Libreboot
The sudoers file should always be edited with 'sudo visudo' (see 'man visudo'). 'visudo' runs $EDITOR, which is not necessarily 'vi'. You can define the EDITOR variable (here I assume 'nano' is your favorite text editor) when running the command: $ sudo EDITOR=nano visudo But you probably want to define EDITOR once for all in the personal configuration file of your shell (here ~/.bashrc, the personal configuration of Trisquel's default shell: Bash): $ echo EDITOR=nano >> ~/.bashrc Be careful with what you type: there must not be any space around "=" and you need two ">" to append a line to ~/.bashrc (one single ">" would substitute its entire content).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Problems with flashing a Lenovo x60 with Libreboot
Tch tch Don't you read what /etc/sudoers says, to only edit it with visudo? :-P
[Trisquel-users] Re : Home email server
Those are two different pieces of software, which do similar things.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A virtual personal server?
Indeed. hack and hack, there's nothing special about a "server." It's just a computer running some programs, nothing more.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Problems with flashing a Lenovo x60 with Libreboot
But that is pretty easy to solve. In Parabola happens the same, you only do $ su # nano /etc/sudoers and where it says ## User privilege specification ## root ALL=(ALL) ALL then you add you user name right under "root" with the same permissions ALL=(ALL) ALL

[Trisquel-users] Re : A virtual personal server?
You do not need a virtual machine. You can install the server on your system. For instance, you can install the "openssh-server" package and you have an SSH server running on your system.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Scratch discussion: delete or not?
If you are talking about the package scretch, that is, the "easy to use programming environment for ages 8 and up", it is free software under free license. http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/s/scratch/scratch_1.4.0.6~dfsg1-5_copyright
Re: [Trisquel-users] Scratch discussion: delete or not?
Now, let's start a discussion!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Scratch discussion: delete or not?
If someone will support Scratch deleting, I will share this info with another free (GNU list) distros.
[Trisquel-users] Scratch discussion: delete or not?
Hello everyone. I am returned. I readed on Wikipedia (Russian) about Scratch licensing. Some code is deleted from free version. Both we have Scratch on FSF Directory and our repos. We need to delete Scratch in Trisquel 8.0. But now we can start a discussion about deleting (or not) Scrath from the free software. Offtopic: About "Kirovohrad" in my profile. I didn't like new names.
[Trisquel-users] mustek bearPaw 1200 cu plus free software?
mustek bearPaw 1200 cu plus requires ps1gfw.usb from http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/. Is there a free software version? Thank you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Home email server
I have to agree with you: I stopped watching the mailinabox tutorial when the guy said "this will take about an hour or two". When you think that the people you communicate with must do as much for the whole thing to make sense, you can be that only a few would try it. Even gpg is intimidating. In the long run, maybe dark mail might be worth it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A virtual personal server?
I didn't think of stability issues (which I kinda have). I'm definitely not too hot for remote hardware unless I intend to have many visitors. Last but not least, let's say I want a server to get social media like Diaspora the easy way (just like getting a program from the repo). I don't need it to be on at all times, only when I use it. Or am I missing something? Because that would be a great thing to just download say Diaspora with its own server "for dummies". It would get the load off the existing servers, and people would own their data the easy way.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A virtual personal server?
I can see that it would be complicated for emails. But I assume it should be OK for things like social media, or many other services.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A virtual personal server?
Just out of ignorance : I didn't know I could set up my main OS also as a server at the same time. Not sure how I'd do that though, it seems harder to do (but virtualization is hard in its own way as well, specially since Virtualbox isn't an option anymore).
Re: [Trisquel-users] If Rubén harassed Libreboot's Leah Rowe, he should be fired and Trisquel shut down
Oh no doubt, I wish it wasn't true but sadly it must be. Hopefully someone or something will cause her to change otherwise libreboot may get forked in the future...

Re: [Trisquel-users] Home email server
if I recall SpamAssassin is actually called ClamAssassin, and uses ClamAV.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Home email server
I've been using this for a few years and it's fantastic!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Home email server
Mailinabox (https://mailinabox.email) is very good and has made this easy to set up. The author insists it's designed to be run from a VPS, but I run it in a VM on my home server and it works marvellously. All you need is a static IP. The ability to set reverse-DNS at your ISP also helps. SPAM isn't an issue for me - spamassassin works really well.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Home email server
"They did a reverse DNS sub-delegation so I control forward and backward DNS resolution." Sentences like this are the reason most people don't host their own email and probably never will ;) What I think is more realistic, at least in the short term, is setting up more not-for-profit community email hosts like RiseUp, and social enterprises like OpenMailBox, so that even non-geeks can have a choice of email services that are not pre-pwned by The Stacks (Hotmail, GMail, Yahoo etc). Increasing the number of people who are competent at running mail servers for such organisations (and others kind of federated servers eg GNU Social/ Hubzilla) needs to be a priority for the software freedom movement. Especially sharing knowledge about how to harden such servers against interference, whether by states, corporations, spammers, or others.

"I don't see what's wrong with asking if a baby is a boy or a girl." It's not "wrong", but when people ask that question they tend to assume that there is an either/ or answer (sometimes the true answer is "no"), and that the answer says something important about who that baby will grow up to be. In an ideal world it wouldn't, because, as you rightly point out, "gender is mostly a social construction." Again, I highly recommend this video as an introduction to the range of issues involved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJv1QWdofEE
